Acupuncture & Asthma

Hey guys my asthma is on another level lately so I decided to make a post about it. If you guys know any remedies or medicines for treating asthma I would love to hear about them.

But first let me tell you about a couple products I love. The first one is this yummy almond butter that is perfect for on the go when your hungry & you need a snack. What’s great about this company is that every time you buy one you also help feed a child with malnutrition. Read more about it here http://yumbutter.com/pages/buyone-feedone

I also just started trying Garden of Life Raw green superfood capsules 2 days ago. I wish I could drink a green smoothie everyday but the truth is I can’t. This is a perfect way to get my veggies in so that I can hopefully have a healthier body.

I will let you know how it goes 🙂 http://www.gardenoflife.com

My doctor prescribed me Flovent (if you have asthma you know all about this guy) Not fun at all 😦

What the heck is cupping?

Cupping is a holistic and ancient medical therapy that has been used for millennia in traditional Chinese medical as well as by Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures. Cupping practices have even been uncovered on Egyptian temple walls dating 1,550 B.C.

 

Cupping is said to ‘open’ the lungs by drawing toxins and mucus to the surface of the skin, allowing air to flow more fully through the lungs. Issues from asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, and other respiratory complaints may see drastic improvement in a single session. Since I suffer from asthma I gave this a try & I must say it has helped me so much. As you can see my back looks like it hurts but it wasn’t painful at all, actually it was quite relaxing.

It’s so hard to deal with asthma so I’m glad I finally gave acupuncture a shot, I am now a believer in it’s healing properties.

I wish perfect health for all you guys.74fc0ef02496a02ff2f6950b928016cb

Why I Started Eating Breakfast

As some of you know I really hate eating breakfast but a few nutritionists have convinced me start loving it lol. If it were up to me I’d have a cup of coffee & be done with it. But I’ve learned that when you are trying to lose weight breakfast is not the meal to skip. When your asleep your metabolism slows down, so there’s nothing like a healthy breakfast to get it going it for the day.

Some Breakfast Ideas To Get The Engine Going

Eggs

Smoothies

Oats

Berries w/ yogurt

 Ezekial bread w/ Avocad0

Protein Shakes

1. Don’t use a foundation that contains SPF if you know you’re going to be photographed with a flash.

2. Don’t use a SPF and a SPF foundation if you know you’re going to be photographed.

3. Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are mainly responsible for foundation flashback – but only when they are active ingredients (meaning in high concentrations).

4. If you’re using a SPF foundation then use a setting powder that has a colour to it (ie – make up for ever super matte loose – or any other colour powder). This will help shield you from the flashback.

5. If you’re a makeup artist doing bridal NO SPF what-so-ever unless its really really necessary.

6. HD powder that are 100% silica are a NO NO when using flash. They are the worst of the worst. Using a very light hand is fine, but if you apply with even the faintest of a heavy hand – well, you can see from the picture that i took.
