5 Ways to Eat Cheap & Toxin-Free

I just spent 3 days at my parents' house and feel so recharged and bouncy. A little lake swimming does wonders for this cowgirl's dusty noggin.

I love going home. Good food, bathing suits and tons of movies. It's a great time. This weekend we ate only local foods and wow could I taste a difference. Though I'm not 100% raw, I wanted to be because the veggies were all so earthy and yummy. There's nothing quite like farm freshness.

Up until a few weeks ago, we didn't have a farmer's market in Woodstock. Crazy! It's Woodstock for crying out loud, home of the pot-smokin', Up-on-Cripple-Creak-listening, hippie/back to the lander of days gone by. Well enough people quacked and groaned and now every Wednesday we get to meet local area farmers and purchase their beans.

5 Ways to Put The Fun Into Fitness

When someone is mildly depressed, the first remedy that comes to mind: Exercise. In just fifteen minutes exercise burns off stress hormones and raises endorphin levels (the happiness hormone); now that’s a quick fix. Exercising regularly gives you the natural "high" to look down at your relatively smaller problems to see the total picture - then the solution. The problem is that people who are sad experience low energy levels, irritability and a lack of interest in exercise; they do not believe the counterintuitive: Activity Alleviates Anxiety.

Stress and depression are associated with dark words. "I’m not good enough," "What’s the use of trying," "I’m boring," "I just have no luck," "I’ll never find love because I’m not good looking enough." This negative self-talk eventually becomes automatic and self-actualizing.

So if you have been lax on the 80/20 rule, now’s the time to add some delicious, healthy vegetables to your meals!

While I recommend you eat a spectrum of colors in your vegetables, green leafy vegetables are unarguably some of the best.
