Sprains, Strains and Boy Mom Life

The full effects of boy mom life. Back to school functions are a prime time for shenanigans. Especially when you haven’t seen your friends for a bit. And, well, someone is always going to get injured. It just seems to be inevitable. We were the lucky recipients this time around. It’s just the luck of the draw, as they say.

So here we are on the couch, foot elevated, wrapped and iced. Typical treatment. What isn’t typical, although in my opinion should be, is that under that wrap, I gently rubbed Young Living’s Copaiba Essential Oil over the bruising and inflammation.

Copaiba is amazing as a helpful aid in inflammation reduction and to help ward off stiffness.

Both major problems with a strained/sprained ankle.

In our experience, since it’s not too major a strain, the wrap will be off tomorrow and he’ll be back on the karate mat within 48 hours.

Copaiba is definitely a must for the first aid kit, and it’s a starter kit oil. So you’re guaranteed to get it if you have a kit.

I’ll be back soon!

Carly Everywhere I look I see people struggling with weight loss and unsure of what program to follow to lose weight. I see a lot of people convinced that they must count calories/macros/points to lose weight. When I tell them they can let that go and simply count time, they don’t trust me.

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.
