Home Remedies for Colds


Before you get a cold its great to take a great multivitamin capsule (not hard pressed); capsules are better for maximum absorption. Herbs such as dandelion roots and Par D'arco have vitamins in them too. I like to sip dandelion tea, its pretty good. But if you dont take vitamins and if you dont have dandelion tea then use whats in the kitchen.

Ginger is really great for runny noses and garlic and a wonderful immune system stimulant. At the first sign of getting sick cut a cube of ginger and eat it. Very spicy and not the best tasting but it is worth it. Next diced up a few cloves of garlic place in a mug and pour 4-6 ounces of hot water on top and add a few (just a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper) Repeat 2-3 times a day, and you cold will be shorter. If you get a sore throat boiling some hot water and place into a nice cup, squeeze 1/2 lemon in and a few spoons of honey.  For health maintenance try this everyday but only once. I also recommend a netti pot for your nose. It help rinse out mucus at the end of a cold and keeps everything fresh in there.

When Life Is Putting The Squeeze On You

I just found out that I failed calculus. Which is going to put me on academic probation. Well on top of that I am running out of financial aid. So if I am on probation they arent going to want to give me the aid anyway. sigh! Long story short, what do you do when you have no money, no job, a baby, and no babysitter after tomorrow? Do you become a stripper? LOL!!! No, the thought crossed my mind a few times. But this is when it gets real.

And why should I be afraid to admit this or be honest; well I am not so here is my business all out there LOL! I know that a lot of people are going through the same thing, but I just choose to be open about mine. I am not ashamed of myself or defeated. I just have to but that part of my life on hold right now and continue on with the other parts of my life.

When times like this arise in  life no matter what it is, school, work, bills, debt, something. You gotta make it work out and make it work for you. In my case I am going to take a 9-5 and build some revenue and in the mean time start my building my grocery store. Currently I am applying for grants and to competitions to gain money for my store. Seems far fetched right? Well no, because I have a real entity in mind that is a necessity. I will be producing something that people need. Then main thing in situations such as these is to hold on to your confidence and integrity. Of course I cried when I saw my F, and did I wanna blame someone of course! But I am the master of my ship and i am responsible for my life no one else. Although people affect my life I decide where it goes afterwards, feel me?!
When times get tough usually that is when people get desperate and start to act out of character. But hold on to who you are and dig deep inside of your mind and use it. Make something happen that allows you to be over your own means of production. 

From Me to You
