Another Word: Sober, But Not One Of My #WordsOfTheYear2021

I was going to add Sober to my Words of the Year List, but I think this one stands alone. On St. Patrick's Day, funnily enough, will be my 2-year sober-versary from alcohol. And yes, I feel the need to clarify alcohol because yes, I have done other drugs, but it has been years. I can't even count how many. I lost count after 11. And that was around 2013.

Why did I choose to become Sober? Because of my family, of course. It was time. I was going out to the bar every single weekend and even on some week nights. Plus drinking at home nightly. What example did that set for my son? Not a good one, certainly.

I can give excuses. Reasons. Causes. But that would be the disease. And did I go to counseling or do The Steps? No. Should I have? Maybe. But I did it Cold Turkey. Was that healthy? Probably not the most. But I did it. And have no regrets.

Kyo-Green #SelfCare2021

On my journey to take better care of myself, I find it includes the insides as well as the outsides, physically and mentally. Wakunaga of America, Co., Ltd., is a privately held, family-owned health and wellness company dedicated to offering high-quality dietary supplements. Promoting the concept of "natural therapy for individual health" to the public worldwide, Wakunaga of America seeks to encourage and enable health conscious individuals to take control of their own well-being and live their best life.

We got to check out the Kyo-Green Sprouts Blend. It contains a nutritious blend of organic sprouted ancient grains, beans, and seeds combined with spirulina and original Greens Blend. Harvested at the very peak of the sprouting process, each sprout varietal is then gently dried and ground to concentrate the important plant nutrients. This powerful plant-based powdered drink mix provides a natural, gentle prebiotic for healthy digestion, which is the foundation for whole body wellness. Mix one serving of fast dissolving Kyo-Green Sprouts Blend powder with water or fruit juice, or add to your favorite smoothie. Kyo-Green has been a trusted natural supplement brand for more than 30 years. From the original Greens Blend that includes barley and wheat grasses, chlorella, and kelp to Harvest Blend and the new Sprouts Blend, the first young sprouted greens drink mix blend on the market, these powdered green mixes are ideal if you are looking for an easy way to add more green nutrition into your diet. With no added sugars or flavors, the light clean taste of Kyo-Green makes it easy to add to any cold drink or food (though heat will diminish the nutrients). It does have a taste of it's a own, so I would suggest adding it to a smoothie to mask the taste, though it isn't a "bad" taste, just a "green" taste, for lack of a better word, ha ha.

The Examined Life Workbook #SelfCare2021

As part of my Words Of The Years post...a couple of my words were Detox and Self Care, and what better way to "work" on yourself than with a workbook, to really get in there and dig deep and figure some things out?

Everyone wants to be known. That begins with knowing yourself first. Having an understanding of who you are, combined with a clear vision of your future, provides the foundation for an incredible Life Lived by Design.

The Examined Life Workbook: A bold journey toward knowing yourself by Brittany Salsman 

Brittany, a former educator, was checking all the boxes until everything abruptly changed in 2017. A diagnosis of a brain tumor launched her into a life-long relationships with posttraumatic growth. She now works as an International Coach Federation (ICF) credentialed life coach and helps others experience this level of growth without the necessity of a traumatic event - what she calls non-traumatic growth. With this workbook, you are about to embark on a bold journey toward knowing yourself - learning who you are, what you dream of, and how to manifest it into reality.

In this workbook, you'll find over 70 tools, strategies, and exercises that help you exponentially increase your self-awareness without the necessity of a life-altering event. You will move toward a life where everything, everyone, every action, and every decision serves the purpose of taking you one step closer to your true self. 

10% of all profits from the sales of this book are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.

I am not nearly a third of the way though this workbook, and it is pretty intense, which is a good thing. Makes you really truly examine yourself, and that is not a bad thing. It opens you up to yourself. Makes you self-aware. And for me, gives me renewal for the next day. I think no matter what stage you are at in life or what you are going through, everyone could benefit from this.

VICI Wellness - Oh Mi-Graine Patches #SelfCare2021

I have been suffering from migraines for quite some time and have been trying to nail down a "cure". We have tried different things with my neurologist. All the pills, ugh. It is ridiculous. Seriously. And recently my local neuro has left our facility and moved to a different location, and not to talk smack about a doctor, but she was a pill pusher. She kept upping my meds and they were not even working. I did end up working my internist and weening myself off the meds because you do become adjusted to them and they become ineffective and do nasty things to your other organs. Anyways, I have been trying to go a more natural route to figure this thing out, and it is a pain, quite literally. I came across VICI Wellness in my search.

 VICI Wellness products are made and produced in the US with quality ingredients sourced from Oregon and California. VICI Wellness was started by two women who believe in the values and power of natural resources. Their topical patches can be used for up to 10 hours. They can be halved, or quartered for personal dosage preference. The patches are free of: artificial dyes, casein, corn, colors, dairy, egg, fillers, flavorings, gluten, GMO’s, latex, MSG, peanuts, preservatives, shellfish, soy, sugar, tree nuts, and wheat. The line of topical gels come in two options: Intense and Soothing.

I was excited to try the Oh Mi-Graine Patches. They are formulated to help alleviate the discomforts that occur with migraines. You stick the patch to an area on your body that has little hair such as the base of the neck, wrist, or hip area, when a migraine just begins to start, which for me is every dang morning anymore. The patches are made with: Butterbur - Cultivated for medical purposes to help prevent and provide temporary pain relief for migraines and to provide support for allergy sufferers during seasonal health challenges. Ashwagandha Root - The root is regarded as a tonic, aphrodisiac, diuretic, anthelmintic, astringent, thermogenic, and a stimulant and has been used for over 4,000 years in ayurvedic medicine to help promote learning and memory retrieval. Ashwagandha rejuvenates and tonifies the entire system, especially the endocrine and immune systems. Ginger - A wonderful warming aid to the digestion system as it invigorates the stomach and intestines, stimulating the appetite and enhancing digestion by encouraging the secretion of enzymes. The patches did seem to help some, at least delay the migraines a bit, which helps.

BunnyzClean #SelfCare2021

Bunnyz has a line of skin care products to help cleanse your skin without any chemicals. BunnyzClean products are made with natural, organic ingredients. We got to try the Bamboo Charcoal Mask.

The Bamboo Charcoal and Kaolin Clay Masque deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates away impurities to reveal smoother skin. Bamboo Charcoal has the added benefit of brightening skin, helping to reduce the appearance of age spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C, Spirulina, and Kelp provide antioxidant protection to the skin. Clove and Cayenne make the complexion look more radiant. Organic Jojoba and Coconut Oils, Cocoa Butter, and Beeswax leave the skin soft and supple. I even let Callan try this, as he is at an age where he is more concerned about his skin as well, and it was gentle enough for his skin, too. We both felt great afterwards, and refreshed. And our skin felt good, and cleaner after the day. I would use this once a week, and let him use it once a month if he wanted to.

I Am Flawsome #Valentines2021 #SelfCare2021 #MentalHealth

Mental health is a big thing for me. It has been a hurdle really since high school, and while I had it all under control, everything unraveled when I lost a child in 2011 - understandably. There are so many different levels and types of "mental illness" and so many stigmas surrounding it that when you hear that term - mental illness - a lot of people automatically think "crazy person". And whilst I will admit I have been that person many times, there are also a multitude of other aspects to it as well. And taking care of your mental health is almost more important than taking care of physical health in my book. Because, a lot of times, it goes hand in hand. 

I Am Flawsome is a movement and a community that started, I think, as a way for a person searching to learn through music to have that as part of a mental health regime. But now I think it has moved beyond just musicality. It is a community that will support and encourage you to grow in order to be you, do you, share you - to be authentic and flawsome! And, what better a gift to give yourself this Valentine's Day than a space that promotes positivity, growth, and empowerment, and little self-care; and surround yourself with people who will encourage you to accept yourself, flaws and all. That's pretty Flawsome!

I got the I am Flawsome Self-Care Pack which includes a white t-shirt, journal, and digital activity book. I also got some other little goodies, like some candy and a sweet little pair of butterfly earrings. It made my day. And I have to say the journal is the bomb! It is pretty open ended and there for you to fill up! Lots of space to create and let it all flow! I love it!
