Periods are going to happen

Some of you may find this subject a little uncomfortable. Get over it. Women’s health, including menstruation, is something everyone should be concerned about. Are the women in your life having a safe menstrual experience? Most feminine hygiene products are made with toxic chemicals that are easily absorbed through the delicate tissues of the lady parts .

Top 5 Reasons I’m a Thrive Market Fan

Image
For about  year now, I have been a Thrive Market member. After enjoying the benefits of being a member for only a few months, I became an affiliate. If you are a regular Reader, then you know there are few products and services that I promote on my blog.  Unless I have personally tried a product or service, I don't feel right suggesting that my Readers try it.

About three years ago I was very respectfully approached on Linkedin by James San Antonio , a Scientist who was working on his contribution to a publication in which he covers the topics of collagen and  Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Now that I have two sessions of colon hydrotherapy under my belt, I am eager to share more details of my cleansing experience. Proponents of this procedure believe it has many redeeming health benefits. As I mentioned in Colon Hydrotherapy – part one , this practice of colon cleansing is not a new trend. However, all methods of administering this type of therapy are not created equal. In part two of my colon hydrotherapy experience, I will share: How colon hydrotherapy affected my body How to find a qualified Colon Therapist near you More photos of my experience Most significant affects on my body Spaciousness – The first change I noticed after only one session was the sensation of having extra room inside my body…particularly my abdominal area. I even felt more energetic! Considering the amount of waste I observed being removed from my body, this spacious sensation should not have taken me by surprise. After each session I weighed myself but didn’t see any s
