Bummer...

Two weeks ago, I began working out with the 21 Day Fix because I wanted to have two rounds of this workout before my 36th birthday on March 21st! However, after the 6th day I became sick and had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that I had been coughing more frequently and my throat became sore as well as a slight headache.

I haven't felt this miserable in a very long time! I had been drinking my Shakeology everyday like I am supposed to, then I am certain I wouldn't have fallen to this illness. I went to work on Monday, but Tuesday to Friday I had to stay home because my illness kept getting worse. Wednesday my husband took me to see the doctor and I wanted everything naturally. I didn't want to put poison in my body so she gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and said if I am not better by Sunday then I need to take them. Friday came around and I was even worse on Friday than I was on Wednesday. So regretfully my husband took me back to the doctors office and he told me that I have sinusitis trying to turn into bronchitis. I was ready to give in and take whatever the doctor wanted to give me.

Saturday, I rested at home and didn't do ANYTHING. It was our 4th anniversary of when we began dating so my husband went out and got me two boxes of chocolates and a cute card. He went out in the horrible snowy/icy weather to CVS just to make me happy! He is such a wonderful man! I wish I could have done something special for him, but I made him a card/poem on my laptop.My husband ordered our dinner and got me some spicy chicken.

Sunday, I woke up feeling much better since I had been taking my antibiotics and medicine. However, I am still resting to get better.

Homemade Natural Shampoo

One thing that is VERY important to me is to live naturally. Now not everything in my life is as natural as I would like it to be, but one step at a time.

What woman does not want sassy hair and save money at the same time?

I have found several different resources to make shampoo, but today I found one that requires only 2 ingredients and I also added essential oil, Lavender and Vanilla.

1 TBSP of Baking Soda
1 C. of water
10 drops of essential oil
1 refurbished shampoo container

Mix all ingredients in the shampoo container and it is ready to use.
