Rooibos (red) tea – attention allergy sufferers

Rooibos (red) tea is a great natural remedy for anyone with allergies- respiratory, food sensitivities or a sensitive stomach in general.  I have both food sensitivities and allergies and it’s been really helpful the last two weeks.

It’s caffeine free, has a high amount of antioxidants and contains two bioflavonoids – Rutin and Quercetin, both of which are extremely helpful for relieving allergy sufferers by reducing inflammation.
If you are suffering right now from annoying allergies, don’t.
Go get some red tea.

Oil paints – oh how I’ve missed you!

My spirit said, pull out your oil paints and I finally did!
I haven’t painted in years and I’ve missed it sooo much.
Never again will I neglect my paints for so long.
I get into a zone where nothing else exists when I paint – nothing.
This was inspired by the artist I love, Amanda Tally.
I might go back and make some changes, but here is what I created so far in the last two days:

Reminder: Don’t neglect your outlet for creativity!!

Feeling so much better and looking forward to seeing Fabric!

I am happy to be off my meds from my eye lasik and starting to feel back to normal!

Oh how I love this new sight- awesome.
I am so excited because any day now I will be receiving my fabric from Amanda Talley’s new fabric line.
They sent me the “Magazine” swatch and it’s oh so fun in person!

What a day – Elle Decor and Lonny’s April issue are out!

My Elle Decor was in my mail slot today and Lonny’s April issue came out online today- bonus.

While I’m lucky to sit in the comfort of my home with the little things that make me happy(my design magazines), I can’t stop thinking of all those in Japan who right now are not able to enjoy such simple things.
