½ cup granulated sugar - (may replace with sea salts or cornmeal).
2 tablespoons olive oil - (may replace with softened coconut oil or avocado oil).
A few drops of Essential Oil - (You can choose one individual oil, such as Peppermint which will leave feet feeling cool and fresh. Or try a homemade blend, such as equal parts Peppermint, Lavender and Lemon. You can find pure essential oils at your local natural food market.).

Nordic Walking: Nomadic Exercise For Building The Body

Cross-country skiers have long understood how this sport burns calories at a massive rate. Not only does the leg action of pushing through the snow burn those unwanted fat foundations (a.k.a. calories), but the arm action of moving those poles through space also contributes to the average 650 per hour calorie burn.

Two recent studies show walking and trekking poles to be effective for reducing exertion while happily increasing the calories burned by hikers and walkers. The poles are used as a pair - one in each hand. Read more

Fight Bugs Naturally, and Smell Good Doing It

Spring is quickly rolling right into Summer. It’s time to bring the patio furniture out of storage, dust off the grill, and try on a new bathing suit. With all the upcoming cookouts, beach days, and trips to the local park, summertime complications can arise. Bugs are often the number one complain.

written by jared rosen and david rippe

written by ria ray

I am a woman, a mother, a healer and a business consultant. In my many roles, I have found that the key to most difficulties in becoming more aware and experiencing bliss lives in something very basic: Self-love.  Yet self-love is often very difficult for us to practice throughout our lives.

Islands of Silence

written by john sovec

harnessing the power of stillness
Car horns blaring; airplanes roaring overhead; radios and televisions constantly chattering and snarling; this chaotic cacophony is the soundtrack to the urban landscape we inhabit.
