Eating Four Vegan Croissants
Dear Mother Nature, Happy September. I praise you, and I want you to know that I get it. For some reason you have chosen to challenge me at the end, and beginning of every month with this PMS thing. It's so hard. I'm not sure why you chose me for this, but I'm dealing with it as best I can.

Vasanas and Samskaras
The first time I heard the terms vasanas and samskaras was in India with Swami Kashi. Before I met Swami Kashi in India I was in Brazil. I had gone to Brazil to meet a famous healer that a Psychic Medium in the Namaste Book shop in New York City had recommended to go visit. The Psychic said that I would love it because of the crystals that they had there. She told me that the energy of the crystals in Abadiania was like nowhere were else. I got hooked! I said I will go there and I did. I even ended up living there years later.

Liposuction or Coolsculpting - What's the Difference?
The formula for a toned and slim body is often touted as regular exercise and a healthy diet. While these are essential for maintaining good health, most people discover that certain parts of their bodies don't change no matter how long they hit the gym.

Self-Care for Counselors in Training
Abstract The purpose of this work is to explore the results of four different self-care and personal wellness assessments that were taken. An analysis of the results and questions in the assessments are addressed and a correlation between all the assessments is gathered. The results act as a starting point, or a point of reference, as the entry into the counseling profession is considered and prepared for. The second portion of the work delves into specific action steps that will be carried out in an attempt at achieving overall wellness and practicing the best form of self-care. In accomplishing such, it acts as a means of fighting against the impairments that try to rise and impede progress in the counseling profession. Self-care for counselors is crucial as they are commonly predisposed to already having personality traits that are very others-focused and altruistic. Counselors should be aware of their possible impairments because it could lead to the demise of themselves, their clients, and their counseling practice.
