Sprains, Strains and Boy Mom Life

The full effects of boy mom life. Back to school functions are a prime time for shenanigans. Especially when you haven’t seen your friends for a bit. And, well, someone is always going to get injured. It just seems to be inevitable. We were the lucky recipients this time around. It’s just the luck of the draw, as they say.

So here we are on the couch, foot elevated, wrapped and iced. Typical treatment. What isn’t typical, although in my opinion should be, is that under that wrap, I gently rubbed Young Living’s Copaiba Essential Oil over the bruising and inflammation.

Copaiba is amazing as a helpful aid in inflammation reduction and to help ward off stiffness.

Both major problems with a strained/sprained ankle.

In our experience, since it’s not too major a strain, the wrap will be off tomorrow and he’ll be back on the karate mat within 48 hours.

Copaiba is definitely a must for the first aid kit, and it’s a starter kit oil. So you’re guaranteed to get it if you have a kit.

I’ll be back soon!

National Coffee Day!!

Something you should know about me, I LOVE my coffee. It gets me going every morning and gives me a pick-me-up when I really need a push to get through the day and I seriously don't function well without it. So much so, it's kind of become a running joke with my family and friends. In fact, my best friend, Miss Courtney , would greet me at the door in silence with a cup of coffee if I'd been up late the night before. She gets me. I'm drinking some now as I type this. When I started Intermittent Fasting, I was relieved to find that I didn't have to give up my coffee. I just had to switch to unsweetened and black, which wasn't too big of a deal, because I had completed a sugar detox a couple years before discovering IF. Through the detox, I became somewhat taste-sensitive to sugar where, depending on the food item, a little was almost too much for me anymore. As a result, my coffee was mainly just a little bit of cream anyway. It makes ...

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well. Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say. I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that...
