💜Camper Remodel💜

I love to camp!

We recently upgraded our 2000 camper to a 2001 camper(I know big jump 😉) with a slide out. We have so much more space and everyone has a place to sleep. When you have a family of 10 this can be a challenge.

One thing I didn’t totally love was how dark everything seemed. So Pinterest to the rescue, I got some ideas and with a few of my kids help we totally revamped the camper and now I am in love! It is totally like a sanctuary for me😊 we just have to redo the flooring and it will be like a completely new camper 😃👍🏻

Check out the before(it was already being torn apart so excuse some of the mess😬)…

And now the afters(seriously in love💕💕💕)…

We have a new light colored couch(actually it’s a click clack, so it fold easily like a futon, so much easier than the old couch and it fits the new lighter colors).

Have you ever remodeled a camper? Would you consider it?

We are truly in love with the transformation it has made💜

Breathe Roll-on

Tis the season for respiratory support.

What do you use?

My go to is my Breathe Roll-on.

It is a combo of frankincense and cardamom 🙂

For babies(under 12 months) I use 2 drops of cardamom and 2 drops of frankincense in a 10 ml bottle with a carrier oil of your choice.

I up this recipe for ages 1 and up to 5 drops of cardamom and 5 drops of frankincense in a 10 ml roller bottle with your choice of carrier oil.

I love this blend for supporting our respiratory system.

Happy Monday!

God bless!

Cleansing…

So I decided to do this 5 day cleanse.

It is a gentle cleanse. It has a lot of health benefits. I am still able to eat a few snacks(some fruits/veggies/nuts/broth)a day.

You wake up and take the Digest & Cleanse(super gentle- definitely don’t feel like I am running to the bathroom or anything). You wait 30-60 min and have your Balance Complete shake/smoothie. Add some oils to this to add some fun flavors. Then you have a snack. You continue to repeat this process for lunch and supper. Drink lots of water.

I really have not been hungry but to be honest- I like to eat.

I love food.

Not bad food but food.

I also know that I eat when I am not hungry.

Why? Because food tastes good and I love food.

It is a struggle. I can be totally unaware of what I am eating.

So going forward- food? Yes!

Tracking my food? Yes

I feel like this will hold me accountable.

Do you love food?

 

God bless!
