Feel Good Herb for the Ladies

Every other month or so my crazy ovary kicks in and takes over. With that I get horrible pimples and get all emotionally crazed. But over time I was able to notice some changes in my skin and cycle. One year I had a horrible breakout on my forehead and the next year my cycle became irregular. So like my worrying self  I started to panic. With some research and being more attentive to all my issues, I realized my hormone were all crazy.

I like to look at the body at a big hormone or a bowl of hormones that coexist and harmonize to carry out specific functions. But once in a while one hormone wants to be the "Don" and throws everyone off track so it can do its thing. In woman we have estrogen, progesterone, and a little bit of testosterone. Depending on what the body is signally you can usually tell which hormone it is. If there are pimples on you chin or cheek bone area it is mostly likely to be estrogen or progesterone. If the acne is on the back or chest, this is usually testosterone....trying to turn you into a man LOL!

So what do you do? Get some Dong Quai! I love this herb. Its very useful. You can find it at whole foods or at any natural foods store. Dong Quai helps regulate hormones. I first starting taking the herb in 2009 and once I got pregnant I stopped taking it. I am back on it so help regulate everything after the baby. But the results are great. I feel not so up and down when my cycle comes and I am not all pimpled up anymore. Strong Caution! This herb will make you more fertile. So beware and strap up double time. So if you are out of whack you might want to consider this herb to get you back on track

Indigo Blues

There are somethings that are hard to fight, but when a natural process is thrown off and one tries to fight it it is even harder. Being a single parent is so hard because naturally its meant to be two individuals supporting each other emotionally, physically, and mentally. But as one individual is acting as two its the hardest fight a human-being can face. Emotionally it is devastating because your support is not there. What makes it difficult in my case is the newness of this reality, and even though I see the pattern that single women follow I still endure the same emotional hurdles but must be wise about them and be strong. Its so lonely and painful; because the thoughts are reoccurring, and with each time the pain swallows you up more and more . I rather go through child birth and be hit by a truck LOL!!! Its crazy but with those situations the pain goes away. With single parenting the pain, thoughts, and memories  reoccurring randomly and uncontrollably.

With that I pray that I will get over this as well as many other women. I see why women have several children by different men. She is just trying to balance herself out and fight an un-natural situation. Of course this is not an excuse of behavior, it takes a lot of will power. But I do understand.

Back To Me...and My Hair

So there was a time where my hair was my pride and joy but...I dont know what happened. But since I am back lets get in to session. I have had locks for 2 years now and I love it. Its freedom from the creamy crack and it beats picking my fro everyday and doing two strand twists. Its simple, twist once or twice a month and throw in a little style here and there and its good to go.

Recently with all the hot weather I have been dying to find a style for my locks that would get my hair off my neck but also give my scalp air. After not being able to find anything for my length and lock size, I came up with the loc fro, Its a curly twist. I am thinking about putting it on youtube. Well let me know what you think

Medicine For the Heart and Soul

Hello All. Again I have done a disappearing act, but sometimes those are needed in life to readjust and regain focus on the important things. One thing that I have learned from the last few months is how infinite my love is. Even I am surprised . But its the love I have for myself that helps me recover and continue. As well as the love that others have for me.

There are a few things that help me in getting over difficult times and issues; first being honest with myself and others; second loving myself and remembering my value and beauty; lastly forgive and move on. Forgiving myself and others is such a great way to heal. Easier said than done, but everything in stride and in its own timing.

The key in applying this type of medicine to the heat is to truly forgive and not forget but to remember and make it better. At times the heart is the ruler of the mind and sometimes the mind is the enemy to the heart. but they coexist and equilibrium must be achieved to truly love
