  • The Smoothie Bladder Infections hate

    Posted on February 17, 2012 by lvukich

    I woke up with a bladder infection this morning oww-iee owiee ow-iee :( 

    But as I was mixing up my magical potion that I swear by, I thought I should at least share.  I'm not a doctor, but this smoothie has been great when I've felt a bladder infection coming on - and it's super yummy too!

    .

    .

    We've all heard that cranberries are great to add to the diet when dealing with bladder infections and they are, but did you realize that blueberries can be too?  And pineapple and Vitamin C.  So this recipe has it all, and is absolutely delicious too!

    .

    FOR RECIPE GO HERE

    .

    Here's the other thing I like to do--take pure lavendar oil or cinnamon oil (diluted 1:4 with coconut oil or jajoba oil) and rub it on the stomach a few times a day.  If the oil is safe to be ingested (depends on the brand) you can also take one drop in liquid a few times a day as well.

    .

    These are just my opinions, though, so of course check with a doctor right away if you have a bladder infection that's lasted more than two days.

    .

    But bladder infection or not, this smoothie is delicous and super loaded with nutrients and a great addition to any day!

    .

    Enjoy!

    L-U-V Madonna
    Y-O-U You wanna

    I see you coming and you're gonna have to change the game
    Y-O-U You wanna
    Would you like to try?
    Give me a reason why
    Give me all that you got
    Maybe you'll do fine
    As long as you don't lie to me
    And pretend to be what you're not

    (CHORUS)
    Don't play the stupid game
    Cause I'm different kind of girl
    Every record sounds the sameYou've got to step into my world
    Give me all your love and give me your loveGive me all your love today
    Give me all your love and give me your love
    Let's forget about ime
    And dance our lives away
    L-U-V Madonna
    Y-O-U You wanna
    Ke L-U-V Madonna
    Keep trying don't give up, it's if you want it bad enough
    L-U-V Madonna
    It's right in front of you, now tell me what you're thinking of
    Y-O-U-You wanna
    In another place, at a different time
    You can be my lucky star
    We can drink some wine
    Burgundry is fine
    Let's drink the bottle every drop

    (CHORUS)
    Don't play the stupid game
    Cause I'm different kind of girl
    Every record sounds the same
    You've got to step into my world
    Give me all your love and give me your love
    Give me all your love today
    Give me all your love and give me your love
    Let's forget about imeAnd dance our lives away

    (BRIDGE)
    You have all the L-U-VI gave you everything you need
    Now it's up to Y-O-UAre you the one, shall we proceed?
    M-A-D Don't make meL-U-V
    It's time forY-O-U
    It's up toL-U-V I want your

  • Asian Cashew Sesame Salad & Japanese Ginger Dressing

    Posted on February 8, 2012 by lvukich


    .

    I was craving ginger today.  Maybe because I love the slightly hot zesty flavor, but actually....I also love the fact that it is loaded with anti-inflammatory qualities (which btw, helps keep our bodies young :)

    .

    So this is what I came up with...a delicious Cashew Sesame Salad with an incredibly yummy dressing, Japanese Ginger, which was super easy to blend together.

  • Is laughter the best medicine?

    Posted on February 4, 2012 by lvukich

    The laughter workout....

    We love laughter and also love the studies that indicate it is
    the best medicine!
    .
    Here are some of the health benefits you may enjoy through making
    sure to laugh!
     .
    ~ tighter stomach muscles
    ~ less stress
    ~ more energy
    ~ overall feeling of well being
    ~ suppressed appetite (i.e. weight loss :)
    ~ less illness
    ~ more health
    ~ a better life
    ~ must we say more?
     .
    I can't help but share a little story that happened the other day,
    that totally put a smile on my face :)...
    .
    Tiff's son was playing with his 6 year old cousin and must've said a
    "bad" word because his cousin went right to the babysitter and said,
    "He said a bad word!"
    She asked, "What was it?"
    The little guy said, "I can't say it--but I can spell it...
    s-t-o-o-p-i-d."
    .
    haha, it still makes me laugh!
    .
    Please comment below & share something that made you laugh recently
    --or even just put a smile on your face. We'd love to hear it!
     .
    It feels good to be happy, doesn't it?  And while you're at it,
    give someone else a reason to laugh--please share! Speaking of that,
    special thanks to Summer who inspired this post. Check out her cute site!
    .
    Love you guys!
