September Gratitude

Dear September, thank you for all the little special details in my life. I like to look at small things and truly appreciate them. I really appreciate even the silence that comes my way. Some people don’t like silence but I really appreciate it. It’s soothing.

I love Autumn, the trees are already starting to change colour. I love Chrysanthemums. Everything around me has beauty. What plants do you like?

I’m a huge collector of Fall magazines. I love them so much. Do you like magazines? I enjoy the articles, pictures and recipes. I love to feel the pages in my hand rather then digital magazines. How about you?

Magazines from Home Depot.

I’m staying hydrated. Very important with the weather changing. I love this water bottle. This is my daughter’s water bottle. We bought this from Kitchen Stuff Plus. (My daughter dropped it and the lid broke. Unfortunately.) Sometimes things happen. It’s okay. Moving forward.

More magazines from Shoppers Drugmart. The America’s Best Pumpkin Recipes magazine is really amazing.

I’ve been enjoying using new lunch containers for my girls. They love them so much. They are from Amazon.ca and they are called easylunchboxes.com

Loved creating new recipes in September.

I’m trying to include more vegetables in our life. Especially seasonal veggies.

Enjoyed apple and pumpkin picking this month. First time for both and loved it so much. Check out my blog post if you like.

Cold Got You Down? Try this Thursday Pick-Me-Up!

On Monday my daughter felt sick and had a sore throat and stuffy nose. I gave her a vitamin C tablet right away and set up essential oils for her. I love using the Thursday Plantation Oils. They truly help. I also use these topically. I added a drop of eucalyptus behind her ear lobes and chest.

I then had her use my trusted throat spray BeeKeeper’s Throat Relief. This spray helps so much. Every time my throat feels like a cat has scratched it I use this. My daughter likes this too. I kindly received this via Little Life Box. It has helped so much so thank you Little Life Box!

I came up with a vitamin infused booster drink. I wanted my daughter to stay hydrated and receive her vitamins and veggies to help her system. I came up with the following recipe and she loved it!

BLACKBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE WITH VEGGIES + O

400ml Apple Juice

1 Cup Frozen Blackberries

2 Frozen Bananas (They don’t have to be frozen.)

1 Scoop of Vegan Greens + O

Blackberries

Packed with vitamin C. Just 1 Cup is a full dose for the day!

High in fiber and great source of vitamin K.

Also I love using vegan greens + O by Genuine Health.

By the end of the day she was feeling much better. What are your favourite cold remedies? I also love fresh ginger & lemon tea.

How about you?

Thursday Pick-Me-Up! JUICE IT!

Today I feel like having a lovely refreshing boost Juice! I have a juicer that I’ve had for many years and I use it once and a while. I love juicing and drinking down refreshing fruits and veggies.
