A solution to the toxic chemicals in beauty and bath products...

The switch to a healthier, more conscious existence has been a gradual process. Everyday I discover ways to create an even cleaner environment so that my mind and body can function optimally. After learning about the many avoidable toxins in our everyday environment, I’ve come to shed them from my life slowly but surely.

How to bring the healing benefits of the ocean into your home...

All of these foods have anti-cancer benefits…

Cancer is on the rise and this is puzzling for many. The answer is quite obvious to me. The majority of the population has veered off of nature’s path.

12 Plant-Based Complete Proteins and Combinations

Given the rare occurrence I eat animal protein, aside from cage free organic eggs, it is important for me to be vigilant about complementing proteins since I mainly eat a plant-based diet.

Luckily there are plant-based complete proteins and delicious food pairings!

Top tools to create your reality.

A series of epiphanies thanks to various practices, people, and information sources gradually woke me up. I realized I wasn’t lucky or unlucky; I was creating my reality with my thoughts and my actions. After realizing how the universe works, I decided to alter my reality, and I continue to do so everyday. When I’m not happy with something in my life, I choose to change it. I’m not going to just deal with it. Life is too short for that mentality. In no way, shape, or form will I ever settle or compromise when it comes to living a life full of passion. These are the top tools I use to create my reality.

Do you wake up everyday with the desire to scream, "I LOVE MY LIFE"? This past weekend a friend invited me as a guest to a seminar entitled Reignite.

How about this for a New Year’s Resolution…

It’s about that time again, time for a New Year’s resolution. Time to decide what it is in our lives or about ourselves that we want to change, that we must change or else… Well I have a different idea for a resolution. It’s quite the opposite actually.
