Returning To Nature and To Natural Living

A little over a year ago I was living a very natural life; the only medication that went into my body where only the ones I needed to control my diabetes. All of my health and beauty products where all natural and made by me; if I had any aches or pains, I used herbs for them.

I was also eating extremely healthy; but then life happened. I had a setback with my health, and then, for one reason or another, I just let it go. I fell back into my bad habits, and ever since, I have felt like crap.


But now, I have decided it's time for a change; it's time that I let nature be my friend again. I will be starting slowly as to not shock my system. I will be going over my plan with my doctor when I go for my vampire(I hate blood work) checkup in a week, he was on board with everything last time, so I should be good to go.

In the meantime, I'll be starting with my outsides; starting tonight, I'll be going "No Poo" (or no shampoo) yet again. I had great results last time, and I'm anticipating them this time as well.

I'll also be eating a healthier diet and, I'll continue going to the gym 5 days a week, as ordered by my heart doctor. I'm hoping by making these changes I'll get back where I was or even better. I'm hoping for an over all balance of self.

Crafting My Own Happiness...

As you know in my last post I told you about my plan(via my hubbies suggestion) to channel my emotions into something positive. Well I decided  to do that through both forms of crafting, the artsy & witchy kind.

I started this new form of therapy with a combination of both crafts :-). I have been wanting to try my hand at poppet making for a while, so that's what I am attempting to do. So far I have made 2 of them.


These are my Lil Poppet Pals, the one on the right is Mr. Blue, when I started making him with no particular intent; by the time he was finished he had the name Mr. Blue, and his job, function, intent is to remind me to not go back to that dark place.

The one on the left is my little goth cutie, she has no real specific intent and no name at this point. I know they're not perfect, but I enjoyed making them, and they make me smile.

I would like to take a minute to say thank you to all of you or your support, you are all amazing people.

Lots of Light and Happiness to you all.
