BREAST CANCER PREVENTION // It’s Time to Start Meditating

The holidays are upon us and that probably means some sort of added stress… Between traveling, shopping, cooking, entertaining, or all of the above, our heads tend to get a bit bogged down this time of the year. It’s super important to take the time to de-stress and re-center ourselves. Loving yourself is one of our 8 Steps to Stomp Out Breast Cancer and combined with a positive attitude, self love can help to assure good overall health— physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Meditation is one of our favorite ways to show our bides some self lovin’.

CANCER FIGHTING FOODS // Immunity Boosting Tea

As we head into the holiday season, many of us begin feeling the mounting pressure to manage it all – travel, gifts, guests and amazing food. With memories of childhood gently nudging us to create magic for our own families, we often push ourselves to the edge, feeling run-down and sometimes even sick. Our immune systems become taxed due to a lack of sleep, lowered vitamin D levels, disrupted exercise routines, and poor nutrition. We absolutely LOVE the holidays but not if it means we can’t join in on the festivities and fun. This year we’re taking a hint from our friend Kris Kelly over at Goofy Foot Foods! She recommends starting each day with a positive intention and a cup of Immunity Boosting Tea, to help your body stay healthy and set the tone for “Balanced Abundance.”
