Products From The Hive

As Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” When it comes to health benefits, products from the hive are one of the simplest, yet most powerful way to protect your body. Humans have benefited from bees and their nourishing superfoods since prehistoric times. Bees produce products like honey, pollen and propolis that are loaded with minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. These products have a variety of functions to support optimal health; from improving sleep quality, to boosting energy and strengthening the immune system. They also pollinate approximately a third of the crops we eat, including strawberries, lemon, coconut and coffee.

Because Women Kick Ass

Here’s to strong women – may we know them, may we be them and may we raise them! If you’re looking to celebrate International Women’s Day this year on March 8th for International Women’s Day, then look no further.

That does after all sound like one heck of a way to celebrate #IWD2018!  Continue reading “Hanging with Helen”

On The Spice Route To Recovery

I recently read a quote that said, “Having anxiety is like when the video game combat music is playing but you can’t find any enemies.” I’m going to add that having depression is like sitting in a dark room and telling yourself that you don’t deserve to turn on the lights. That there aren’t even ones to turn on anyway. I knew that there were people out there who did what they could to combat their anxiety/depression issues but it had never occurred to me to do something for myself back then. I didn’t know about Finest Labs Terpenes, St John Wart, medical marijuana, and so many other treatments for people who needed that support.
