Some ideas on well being:
I haven’t talked about well being associated points on my Instagram / weblog for some time. Truthfully? It’s too arduous! I don’t suppose folks have to know my full medical historical past/present points – that’s for my docs to know. And after I share issues, I get SO many (properly which means) opinions. Generally it seems like this:
Me: I’ve been having thyroid points and I’m making an attempt some issues to attempt to handle my signs.
- Message 1: Oh, I had thyroid points. I took _____ drugs and it modified my life. SO grateful for contemporary drugs!
- Message 2: No matter you do, don’t take _____ drugs. My mother did that and it wrecked her well being – it’s a poison!
- Message 3: Have you ever tried (insert pure treatment right here)? My cousin swears by it!

- Message 6: I’ve thyroid points too. I’m having such a tough time discovering clear solutions on-line – let me know in case you discover one thing that helps.
I write this to not complain…simply to present a glimpse into what it’s *realistically* wish to share well being data on-line typically. To message 6 lady: I do know. I really feel that too. It’s tough on the market.
All I WILL inform you is I had a lump on my neck that wasn’t going away, and I lastly acquired it checked out and was fully effective. I had loads of anxiousness about it forward of time although!
Whereas I sat within the radiology division of the hospital, I had so many ideas. Largely “God, please don’t let this be my story.” Proper now, it isn’t. I can not management the longer term and it’s silly of me to suppose that I can.
Nevertheless, I can do issues that I do know will assist assist my well being and longevity. Having this lump on my neck renewed my drive to do what I can to be a great steward of the well being and physique I do have. I’ve been engaged on doing issues like:
- getting outdoors each morning for motion (normally a stroll)
- consuming extra water (one of many hardest issues for me)
- getting daylight + barefoot outdoors time day by day
- getting extra sleep (in all probability the toughest on this checklist for me)
- aiming for getting 8,000-10,000 steps per day
- decreasing processed meals + changing with do-it-yourself
- changing plastics in our dwelling with glass
- changing paraffin candles (with poisonous perfume) with beeswax (with clear perfume)

Undecided how lengthy they’re operating the sale however I’d benefit from it in case you’re in want of some new face merchandise ☺️
Random issues for the children:
Should you’re something like me, then a lot of the stuff you truly find yourself buying are to your children. I assumed I’d share 2 issues I purchased lately that might be good Christmas presents in case you’re getting a head begin on that!
First, these walkie talkies. I acquired these for my son (10) for his birthday over the summer season. They’ve been so enjoyable – we don’t have telephones for youths, however this helps give them a bit of extra independence. We like to hike as a household, and my son is normally the one that wishes to stroll/run forward. When he takes these with him, it provides each of us far more peace of thoughts! He loves the independence that comes with them too. They’ve a 3 mile radius, however we haven’t examined that but. He additionally takes them when he goes for scooter rides with out us. I’d advocate them in case you have kiddos round that age too!
Second, this microscope. That is an early Christmas current I acquired for my children and I can’t wait to present it to them! I like the display on it and the opinions appear to be it’s an excellent product. I haven’t personally truly used it but although! I’ll report again in 2024 for that 🙂
Third, this fridge meal planner. OK OK this isn’t REALLY for the children. However it sort of is just too! I’ve been holding meals on a be aware on my cellphone, and realized I hated answering the query of “what’s for dinner” on daily basis. Now it’s all on the fridge and we don’t have to fret about it. I believe my children like having the ability to see the week’s plan as properly. Additionally, they’ll write after they want sure grocery gadgets on the “notes” board I put underneath it (or they only write random Pokemon associated issues on there haha).
Recipe I’m loving:
