I know we are all under pressure to manage our TO DO list this month. Wether holiday shopping or simply doing what you need to get done. We need energy. And not sugary things. Sip your fruit and veggies.
So I wanted to share one of my many smoothie recipes that I enjoy with you.
What you will need for this recipe:
1 cup of frozen pineapple
3 handfuls of fresh spinach
1 frozen banana
1 cup of coconut water
A few pieces of fresh mint leaves
1 squeeze of fresh lemon
1/2 cup of water (optional)
Place all your liquids in the blender. Add your green π leafy veggies, blend for at least 25-30 seconds. Lastly add fruit and herbs. Blend until smooth.
Pour into a tall glass and enjoy. It is even more delicious when you share it with those you β€οΈ love!
I like to play with this creamy refreshing recipe! If you donβt have one fruit or veggie substitute with another. Itβs so much fun and better than buying them. Do it yourself and know whatβs in it!
Open your mind and embrace new ideas and mindful rituals. Create a space in your home (your own little sanctuary) and keep a little something on your work desk that will assist with mindful wellness.
You can even take a little something like a crystal with you in your travels βοΈ too!
Healing Harmonies…I love the music πΆ from David Young. My fave is “Bliss” and George Skaroulis CD πΏ named Sanctuary. Take time to listen to calming music and just breathe. Use music to relax or to mediate or do yoga with.
Crystals are mined from the earth and they can offer some intentional light or meaning in our life too.
Each stone does a different thing and has meaning and a mood. Here are some you need to know about.
Add some incense, burning sage and Palo Santo which is also known as a “Holy Stick” to your life.
Palo Santo has a sweet scent of pine, lemon and mint. You may also use sage as well. It is also used for a deep meditative state. You light it and let it burn. You may use it and move with it from room to room. When done. Blow it out. Wet the ember tip a bit and place in a π₯ fire proof dish. Be cautious when using sage or Palo Santo and incense.
FYI
Palo Santo is harvested from natural fallen trees.
Smudging is the ritual of cleansing a physical space, an object or a person.
Great for the spiritual, detoxifying properties, cleansing and clearing the air of a physical space of negative energy.
Will not upset pets or people with allergies. Also they say it is great to kill bacteria after a illness or the flu.
Wellness is not just about what you eat. It is also about what you feed your mind. Check out some new things online and there are plenty of books π you can explore on these modalities too.
Start fresh in this new year and take time to smell the incense and just be.
When you need an aromatic energizing lift! All you do is take a piece of the plant and rub the leaves between your fingers to release their scent! Smell your fingers and the plants. Breathe in deeply and ENJOY!
I hope you are enjoying a peek inside my next beauty book.It is such a pleasure to share them with you!
