Love me some lemon water - I make mine with essential oil!
http://www.healthy-holistic-living.com/10-reasons-you-should-drink-lemon-water-in-the-mornings.html

I start out each day with a large glass of room temperature lemon water to drink. Lemons are rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, an antioxidant that boosts the immune system, protects against cardiovascular disease and even has cancer-fighting properties.

Doing some research on active and inactive ingredients in common OTC meds and was kind of shocked to read this about Neosporin: There is concern that use of Neosporin contributes to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. In the US, the only large market for Neosporin, the ointment has been shown to promote the prevalence of MRSA bacteria,[1] specifically the highly lethal ST8:USA300 strain.[2]

We have stopped using Neosporin since we discovered Young Living lavender essential oil which works amazingly well. My niece had a very scary bout with MRSA that left her hospitalized for many days in December of last year - scary stuff.

Neosporin (from Neo, (Greek) new + Sporos, (Greek) seed) is an antibiotic product marketed for the prevention of infections and speeding the healing of wounds.

Not sure it is possible to totally eliminate sugar from our diet, but we have been working hard to reduce our sugar intake. This is a good look at how sugar affects our brain and body. And BTW, the artificial crap is even worse.

Things that matter. Pass 'em on.

In the last year or so, I've become increasingly aware of the conditions of our food supply, and I don't like what I see. Although I don't feel a personal calling to be a vegetarian, I think it is all our responsibility to make sure that we show our values through our wallet. I've started making an effort to buy only grass fed beef and free range chicken. It tastes better, and makes me feel good that the animals lived a relatively good life, and I am supporting small farms. It does cost more, but we have offset some of the cost by eating smaller portions, and adding a no-meat night once a week. Seeing videos like this just confirm that I am on the right path...

Is anyone else really good at researching and buying vitamins but really bad at taking them? Any tips to help remember them? I have a cabinet of stuff I have bought and can never remember to take!
