Tummy Tea

Oooohhhh It's a doozy...now these are the words that tend to leave my child’s mouth as he leaves the bathroom.

And trust me, not the words I want hear knowing I have to go in after him. 

A little background. Our child has had gastrointestinal issues, including an emergency life flight, since he was 18 months (he’s now 10 years), and we have seen every doctor you could possibly think of for these issues, as well as, all the medications, rubs, exercises or, whatever else "Dr. Google" and your neighbor's second cousin's aunt has told you to try.  

Been there....done that...found tea.

And trust me, this was even a hard lesson for me to swallow as a mom. At some point we have to realize, we know ourselves and our loved ones better than any other forces that be. (Again, let me reiterate, I believe in medicine, but I also believe there are some home remedies that really work, as well).   

Where am I going with this? Probably to a bottle of wine....oops, got off course. 

Tummy issues are all over the place in my house. "I feel like I’m bloated," "I want to throw up," I feel like I’m burning from the inside out," it’s a plethora of gut insanity. Lord, have mercy on me!

So reach for what you probably already have in your home. Ginger, coriander (cilantro in seed version), peppermint, cinnamon, lemon....that chamomile tea you bought for sleep. 

 Sounding vaguely familiar to Carly’s Breathe Easy Tea...there’s a reason for that.

No single “herb” was put on this earth to do just one job. You can mix and match ingredients that suite your family, to aid in combating multiple things at once.  

Yes, I’ve rambled and you’re just waiting for the recipe so here it is.  

(If you want to know how to make this using Pure food grade essential oils, let us know in the comments or send us an email)

You can make this exactly as stated, or you can add it into your favorite chamomile tea like my favorite here.




Enjoy your day, cramp free, cleanup free and hopefully smell free. 

I'll be back soon!

I Slept Funny And Now I'm Dying

Okay, maybe not "dying," but omg. I woke up and realized it hurts to turn my head. TURN MY HEAD.  I have such a massive knot in the left side of my neck, it would make a sea captain proud...or at least my old Girl Scout troop leader. And why, you ask? Why am I in such horrendous pain? What is the cause of this completely over-dramatic post?  I flipping SLEPT WRONG.  Seriously. My neck hurts, because I apparently slept standing on my head while breakdancing. That's the only position I can think of that would make any sense for how I'm feeling right now. I really don't mind aging, I just mind the "my body is falling apart" part of aging. As a kid, I could sleep on just a blanket on a concrete floor with no pillow and wake up the next day feeling AWESOME. Now, I basically need to have a heating pad on top of a Tempurpedic on top of another Tempurpedic on top of a fluffy cloud just to wake up feeling like I may've been human at on

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well.  Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say.  I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that

I Tried Those "Easy" Nail Polish Strips And Here's What Happened

I am a low maintenance person. I love all the hair and makeup products. I wish I could be one of those women who always looks airbrushed and flawless with that perfect winged eye liner and just the right shade of lipstick, but that's just not me and I've learned to accept that.  I typically don't have the patience for a full, daily beauty routine as I'm trying to rush out the door, especially when it comes to my poor nails. Whenever a special event or holiday rolls around, I have the best intentions to get a manicure or at least take the time to polish and sculpt my nails, but it usually doesn't happen. I get busy trying to get my hair to cooperate, or not get liquid liner EVERYWHERE, or finish packing to leave, or cleaning if guests are coming, so the nails get put on the back burner. If by some MIRACLE of time management, through no fault of my own, I actually get them painted, without fail, I'll remember something else that needs doing and, no
