This delicious tropical fruit has amazing nutritional value that I bet YOU NEVER KNEW. Papaya is richer in nutrients than just about any other fruit. It’s abundant in vitamins A, C, D, E and K as well as minerals calcium, phosphorus and iron. What’s also wonderful about papaya is that it hardly contains any starch; it is made up of simple, natural sugars that are readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Mother nature has already broken [...]

On the Rebound…
June 14, 2010
With my busy schedule it’s very hard for me to find time to exercise. So I have been in search of an easy way to keep my body in good shape. When I discovered rebounding, I thought I had died and gone to HEAVEN!! It is so convenient, safe and easy. It doesn’t matter what the weather is – so I couldn’t use that excuse anymore. The more I started learning about the benefits of [...]
See JOY in everything you do!

Summertime is especially perfect for [...]
Best Balsamic Salad Dressing in the world!
June 6, 2010
Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating slightly when I say that this is the BEST balsamic salad dressing in the world but it is so easy and quick and TASTY that I couldn’t help but to put a little extra emphasis on it to make my point. All I know is, I no longer buy salad dressing from the store. This dressing helps to flush fat from the system because of the omega-6 in safflower and flax [...]
Raw Veggie Delight!
June 4, 2010
I love mother earth and all the beauty nutrients she provides. Here is a recipe that I tried when I first bought my VitaMix a few weeks ago. Even my hard-core meat eating fiance loved this…only thing is that he needed it heated up. He’s not a “room temperature” kinda guy… This soup is a potent source for all the vitamins and minerals available in the raw vegetables themselves. Their fiber content helps to sweep [...]
