    natural deodorant

    That's one of the reasons I try to stick with liquid recipes that aren't too sticky. Also, I know that baking soda is great for odors in general, but I would always feel like I'd have white powdery streaks under my arms, and that can't possibly be comfortable.

    DEPRESSION FOR WOMEN

    I have had depression as well. I was depressed for about four or five years to varying degrees. It was so bad that I was hospitalized. I eventually came out of it, but I had to learn proper management of stress to prevent it from coming back. I had to learn how to take time for myself. Of...

    Facial Toner?

    Theoretically you could soak the sage leaves in apple cider vinegar as well. That way, theoretically you'd also be getting the benefits of the sage... but what is the benefit of the sage?

    Naps are boring!

    Oh, man... If I had the luxury of a mid afternoon nap I would be one happy camper, haha!

    Stress at home

    That's how I feel, now, as well. I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to come home to four solid walls, food in the fridge, heat in the winter, and a husband who truly loves me. This is much, much better than how I was "living" before.

    Women get informed!

    I wonder if this complete disconnect from the American people and complete disregard for the needs of American people is just a passing fad or if this is the future of the Republican party? I mean, is Romney or somebody Romney-esque going to run again in four years? Is this what we have to look...

    DEPRESSION FOR WOMEN

    Okay, closing your eyes for five minutes obviously doesn't at all get rid of depression... but I think the point they're trying to make is that making at least a little time for yourself every day will prevent you from getting overwhelmed with constantly serving other people. Also, they said it...

    Do not eat at your desk at work

    I so agree! A meal should be a celebration! "One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating." ~Luciano Pavarotti

    natural deodorant

    Yes, there would have to be something more in the recipe than just coconut oil, haha! I've been using a mixture of lavender oil and tea tree oil in a spray bottle with witch hazel. It works pretty well, but I have to reapply it a couple times a day. If anyone has a recipe for something that...

    Stress at home

    He can't "require" you to work. Tell him that you're quitting your job so that you can take care of the house for him. Or else tell him that you're moving out because his house is too filthy for you to live in. Or, if he insists on "requirements," you can "require" him to hire and pay for a maid.

    Women get informed!

    You're absolutely right. The republican ticket this election is nothing but backward motion, as if they're trying to undo all the work that the suffragists and the feminists have done.

    Freshening up the house for guests

    I can't imagine that it would. I never have people over to my house, but if I did, I would certainly light some incense before they came over. I like going over to somebody's house and smelling something pretty.

    Remedies for low energy

    This is true. I used to be anemic, and whenever I forgot to take my iron supplement, I would feel tired and sluggish. Also, I'd feel cold and weak.

    And black against white. And heterosexual against LGBT. And religious against secular.

    Facial Toner?

    If your skin is dry, then maybe witch hazel is not for you, since it's an astringent. Just plain rose water would be better. I use witch hazel because my skin is oily.

    Oils On A Sandwich

    You can spice it up with some herbs if you like. Rosemary, garlic, basil, etc, are all good ones. I usually don't. Extra virgin olive oil mixed with a good balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar is usually good enough for me for salads, and for sandwiches, plain extra virgin olive oil is good...

    Grocery store off limits

    It's even worse when we go to the organic market instead of the regular grocery store, because then all those extra things start looking good to me too, and I think my husband has a negative effect on my will power, haha! In fact I wrote a post about it in my blog a few days ago...

    Oils On A Sandwich

    Olive oil and vinegar are good choices. In fact most local bodegas have these available, and so does Subway.

    Pepper Relish with Splenda

    I've only tried stevia once. It was the powdered kind that comes in little packets. That tasted terrible to me as well. Somebody told me that liquid stevia is much tastier than powdered, but I have not tried it yet.

    Remedies for low energy

    I just tried the earlobe thing and it seriously works, haha! Who'd have thought?
