Connecting the Dots

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Sometimes, connecting the dots doesn’t make sense to some of you. It will, it just means you haven’t connected the dots , yet. What dots? The myriad of weird illnesses caused by various products you’re using or have used in your home.

I’ve been connecting the dots for twenty years now and I can’t say enough about how these products have changed my life! Looking back, I think I spent more money than I care to admit on supplements that didn’t work. It was frustrating, looking for healthier options. I am so thankful for my friend who introduced me to a new brand she found. She swore these “new” products were life changing..

First of all, I never have to step foot in a big box store to get discounts, these products are priced competitively and are delivered straight to my door!
Think about it, how many ow many companies are truly American these days? This one is. everything is made here in the USA. How many companies do you know of have a 96% reorder rate each and every month? None that I know of!”

I will forever be grateful for this online shopping club and what it’s doing and had done for my family.
We don’t have many things we can control but we can control what we put in our homes and in our bodies!

What do you know about Pumpkin seeds?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Pumpkin seeds contain more magnesium than spinach with 48 percent of your daily needs in just half a cup!
They beat all other seeds aside from hemp and chia in their magnesium content. 
Pumpkin seeds are also extremely high in chlorophyll, zinc, iron, and potassium, making them one of the most alkalizing seeds around. You want your body to be more alkaline because it reduces inflammation.
Enjoy pumpkin seeds raw and look for those that are bright green in color, not muddy brown. The greener the seed, the fresher and richer in nutrients it will be.

Setting Boundaries

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

The past year almost brought me to a dead stop. After decades of “doing it all” (and loving it), I had to learn to do almost none of it. But I still want to be useful and able to do so much more. So healthy living and healthy choices has to become my focus. It’s my response to “take care of yourself.”

Learning to make healthy choices in eating, exercising, sitting still and feeding my soul, sleeping enough, has become a necessity. That makes making those decisions so much easier! With the virus season upon us…those things are really important if we want to remain useful in the present.

My work with a wellness shopping club and hanging around on social media with healthy minded people motivates me and makes saying “no” to unhealthy choices a whole lot easier. But boundaries are not popular—saying “no” to friends never gets easier.

I owe a lot to the simple changes I made as well as eating healthier. Why not join me in this adventure?

So you need collagen?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know that there are 28 types of collagen but only THREE types you need to focus on:
Type I , Type II and Type III.

Type I and Type III are in skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails bones and more. Type II is found in cartilage and in the joints to give support.

Interestingly enough, Collagen’s job is NOT to replace collagen in your body. It’s not a “Oh I’m deficient and i need to supplement” type of supplement. This supplement is meant to trick the cells into increasing production and activation of collagen. Think of collagen as the key to unlock the cells/ production line.

In order for the cells to be activated, they have to recognize the collagen supplement our body is consuming as the exact type the cells produce. If the cells don’t recognize that particular collagen, that collagen is literally sitting in the body doing absolutely NOTHING. Which means high gram amounts of collagen are irrelevant.

What matters is the TYPE of collagen it is and the PROCESS it went through in order for it to be recognized by the cells in your body to activate them to produce more collagen.

Most companies cannot make a direct claim about what their collagen does, but will give you a list a mile long of what the added ingredients will do, But the collagen I take can tell you what it will do for your cells.

Here are a few facts about the science behind my collagen:

• 5g hydrolyzed collagen. Bovine-sourced — because it is the closest in DNA structure to humans and it is the best to be able to activate the collagen production.

• 5g collagen peptides. Peptide sequence — the exact one your body needs:

This collagen contains astaxanthan (a red algae) which is a super charged antioxidant to help prevent further cell breakdown.Plus, this collagen is clinically proven to REDUCE CELLULITE, FINE LINES, AND SAGGING SKIN.

If you’re under the impression that liquid collagen is queen —here’s a secret, all liquid collagen starts as powder.

An affordable collagen with a 100% money back guarantee!

Did you know?

Soda is a popular drink, but it’s high in sugar and artificial sweeteners. These ingredients can raise your levels of uric acid, which can lead to gout and other health problems.

Uric acid is a waste product that’s created when your body breaks down purines. Purines are found in many foods, including red meat, seafood, and organic meats. However, soda is one of the worst offenders when it comes to raising uric acid levels. A study published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism found that drinking just one glass of soda per day can increase your risk of gout by 40%! The study also found that it takes at least 36 glasses of water to flush out the uric acid of one glass of soda.
By cutting soda out of your diet, you reduce the risk of developing many health problems such as gout, diabetes, heart diseases, kidney stones, and more. There are so many alternative drinks you won’t even miss you soda. Some alternatives are water, Zevia, Poppi, and Olipop.

When you know better, you do better.

Learning about these products in 2004 really opened my eyes to the importance of ingredients. I discovered that some ingredients can cause cancer, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. That explained why I always had skin reactions and felt miserable after cleaning,

I can’t even imagine how much money I’ve saved by switching to non-toxic products that work even better than the toxic ones I used to use. These days, even if a company offered me free cases of Snuggle Softeners and Fabuloso, I wouldn’t use them.

An educated consumer makes better choices. When you know better, you do better.

Ready for the new challenge!

Have You Tried Walking Meditation?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

“Walking Meditation” creates an additional purpose so that walking is more than just exercise. Walking meditation bridges the gap between physical activity and mental stillness. It syncs each step with your breath, bringing awareness to the sensation of movement, and the touch of your feet on the ground.

How to Practice Walking Meditation

  1. Find a Suitable Location: A quiet park, beach, or even a secluded path in your backyard can work.
  2. Start with Intention: Begin by standing still, taking a few deep breaths, and setting your intention for the walk.
  3. Sync with Your Breath: With each step, inhale and exhale. For instance, take three steps while inhaling and three while exhaling.
  4. Stay Present: Focus on the sensation of your feet lifting off, moving through the air, and making contact with the ground.
  5. Mindful Observation: Observe your surroundings—the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the breeze on your face.

Benefits of Walking Meditation

  • Enhances mindfulness and concentration.
  • Offers physical benefits of walking, like improved circulation and cardiovascular health.
  • Helps in grounding and connecting with nature.
  • Acts as a refreshing break from the routine of seated meditation

It’s that time of year

Make sure you are building up your immune system and using products that don’t damage your lungs or give you other underlying conditions.

J like to use product that I feel are safe for me my home and my family.

These are a few favorite back-to-school essentials I recommend:

• Sol-U-Guard Botanical Wipes — This product kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on hard, nonporous surfaces. It replaces the more toxic Chlorox and Lysol brand wipes.

• Sol-U-Mel — Sol-U-Mel removes stains from items like Sharpie markers, juices, chocolate and wine. It’s great for cleaning white boards.

Both products are non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• Activate-C Immune Complex — Similar to Airborne and other Vitamin C powders but takes it a step further with 1200mg of Vitamin C! Most of the other brands show they contain only 1000mg. Activate-C also comes in orange and reminds me of my childhood favorite — Tang. This Activate Immune Complex boosts your body’s immune system naturally as well.

• Vitamin D3 — This vitamin supports a healthy immune system as well as bone health and overall mood.

• Luminex — A natural alternative, Luminex promotes emotional health, a balanced mood, and general well being..

• Mela-Out — containing magnesium, Mela-Out reduces stress, increases calmness and can help you sleep better.

I love that the products I buy from my Wellness store are made in the USA and shipped straight to my door in two to three days.

Love it!
