Crystals... What's All That About?
So, I've always had an interest in the potential effect crystals can have on us. Sure, they just look like pretty stones, but they are said to harbour energy which can change our moods and influence our emotions. I'd had odd experiences with these stones in the past, but I was unsure whether I was willing myself to feel a certain way because I wanted to believe in these crystals. After buying an agate crystal out of curiosity one day, I found that it greatly helped in calming me down and reducing my stress and anxiety when I sat with it one day, after feeling extremely down and uneasy for the past few hours. I felt like the crystal's energy was flowing through my body and neutralising any negative energy or emotions that were polluting my body. It was a fantastic feeling. I'd never felt so good and relieved from just sitting with an object. And that is when my crystal obsession began. So, to answer some questions a lot of people have about crystals, and to introduce some of you to the wonderful world of these stones, I've listed a few of my favourite crystals for you all to have a look at. I hope you enjoy!

"You haven't been feeling well, and feel a lump in your breast. So, you make an appointment with the doctor and he sends you for a mammogram. The mammogram lights up with a suspicious area for concern. The doctor decides it would be for the best if you get a biopsy done. You are nervous, you are scared. Once the biopsy is performed it is sent to pathology to be studied. A few days later you are sitting in the doctor's office waiting room, waiting patiently but nervously. Thoughts are running through your mind.. what if, how could this happen?! The nurse calls you to the back. You are now sitting in the exam room awaiting the doctor. The doctor walks in and shakes your hand, sits down and proceeds with what he has to say..

How to Maintain Yourself During Vacation
Hello my little lovelies! So recently I went on a vacation to my parents' where the word healthy doesn't even exist. With my new healthy lifestyle changes, it was very difficult to integrate that healthy lifestyle with the cooking that your mother makes that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But you know it's so unhealthy for you but you eat it anyway because it's delicious and come on, would you deny your mom's cooking? I don't think so. So luckily, I only gained half a pound despite my mother's best efforts and I will share with you what I did to enjoy mom's cooking but stay semi-healthy at the same time.

How to Increase Productivity and Lose Weight
Eating several meals a day is not good for us. For the majority of human history, humans would not eat until they had gathered, hunted, of farmed food to nourish themselves. Therefore, fasting is a natural human state. In today’s world, we have access to food all the time, and we learn that breakfast is the “most important meal of the day.” This is the entire reason breakfast food exists. Also, if you think about it, most breakfasts foods like pancakes, sugary cereal, or bacon are not that healthy for you.

4 Essential Oils That Can Help You Treat Anxiety
Anxiety and stress have become something I hear of more often as I get older. Life starts to happen and before you know it, we start to worry about rent, money, jobs, relationships, health, family, and everything in between. Just thinking about it made me feel a little overwhelmed and I find myself taking deep breaths to come back to center. To some people, balancing all of that feels a little easier and more natural, but to some it can be very stressful and often leads to anxiety attacks and getting stuck from feeling overwhelmed. I have found myself in that position many times, but have also felt relief when I control my thoughts and it’s an incredible feeling! I have a few techniques that help me relax and clear my head, including the use of essential oils. Essential oils have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties and my favorite time to use them is when I need to slow down. You can apply them topically (diluted in a carrier oil first) or put a few drops of oil in a diffuser. You can also smell them straight from the bottle.
