Now that Thanksgiving is over and we have maybe, just maybe, a bit too much to eat, we might want to stretch a bit before working out.
This is called a perfect pose as it hits many muscle groups at once.

Our friends at Jersey Shore Scene recently posted an article showing foods that are actually good for your teeth. We enjoyed it so much and with the holidays on the way, we decided to share their article here
What is your go-to emergency repair kit?
You never know when you’ll have a minor emergencies. Today, was one of those days for me. Luckily, I carry two of my favorite first-aid remedies in my bag: MelaGel and Tea Tree Oil. I believe it’s an absolute must when you’re out and about. I use this brand of Tea Tree oil as it is the highest grade of tea-tree oil available to me. I find it soothing and healing , perfect for cuts, burns and insect bites without stinging or burning. even the little ones don’t complain!
Here’s a helpful winter tip: Use it on your cuticles in the winter so they don’t get dry and cracked.
Blood pressure medication recall
Did you know there is a blood pressure medication recall due to cancer concerns?
A blood pressure medication is voluntarily being pulled from the shelves due to impurity concerns which may lead to a cancer risk. The Food and Drug Administration said Losartan Potassium Hydrochlorothiazide could contain an impurity that has been classified as a probable human carcinogen, known to cause cancer.
The batch affected by the recall are the 100 milligram and 25 milligram tablet with the Lot Number JB8-912. Patients who are currently on the medication are advised to talk to their doctor before stopping use.
Losartan Potassium Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, and can also be prescribed to treat kidney disease in patients with diabetes.
For more information, visit the FDA’s recall notice on their website by following this link: fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm625492.htm.

Wow!
In 1935, Einstein’s ‘action is distance’ experiment showed that a person’s thoughts and feelings can physically affect another person, even if they are not touching or physically near each other. His theory referred to something amazing called “quantum entanglement,” which states that the measurement of one particle will instantly influence another particle, regardless of how far apart they are.
In other words, two people don’t even have to be in the same room to affect one another!
Just being around someone with negative body chemistry and thoughts and feelings can spike your stress. Conversely, positive people and energy can have a positive effect.

I love when something has more than one
I love when something has more than one use! Everyone knows I love my Natural Insect Repellent because it works amazingly at keeping mosquitoes and ticks away. But, today while at an outdoor event those pesky seasonal allergies kicked in. I couldn’t run home. I didn’t want to leave the event to search out a pharmacy, so I did a quick Google search and saw that Lemongrass and Peppermint Essential Oils can alleviate symptoms. I sprayed a little Natural Insect Repellent on my finger rubbed it under my nose. Within a few minutes, the sniffing and sneezing stopped! I was so excited http://ow.ly/i/IgW19
I never cease to be shocked when someone
I never cease to be shocked when someone shows me an unsafe usage recommendation. This time?
Adding essential oils (even diluted) to a carrier and then DROPPING INTO THE EYE is just NOT SAFE! The only way I’d ever recommend this is if you are trying to dissolve your eyeball – then, by all means – feel free to do this! #knowbetterdobetter #dontdissolveeyeballs http://ow.ly/i/IgWqc
Thoughtful Thursday: An elephant and a d
Thoughtful Thursday: An elephant and a dog became pregnant at same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued.
On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant questioning, “Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. Whats going on?”. The elephant replied, “There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention. So what I’m carrying is mighty and great.”
Don’t lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don’t be envious of others testimony. If you haven’t received your own blessings, don’t despair. Say to yourself “My time is coming, and when it hits the surface of the earth, people shall yield in admiration.”
Stay encouraged! http://ow.ly/i/IgViY
