The reality is that our menstrual cycle is extremely powerful and does impact the way we feel from one day to the next. It's also true that we have heightened strengths during every phase of our cycle. Unfortunately, most of us don't know about the intricacies of our cycle and how to really capitalise on these strengths because from the time we hit puberty we're given very little information about it. Why? The worst part is that we've gotten so used to not talking about it, we just sort of accept it and we perpetuate the silence. It doesn't dawn on us that when we tell girls and women that a fundamental part of being female is shameful, we obliterate their desire to truly know, protect and love their body. It's time to break the taboo by breaking our silence. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Free Permaculture Design Course - Regenerative Leadership Institute.

Coriander: the herbal remedy to contaminated water. Coriander or cilantro, the leafy herb lavishly used to garnish a wide variety of everyday Indian cuisine has started attaining fame in the United States as a possible low cost herbal remedy to purify drinking water.
A recent research has discovered that the leaves of the coriander are a potential “biosorbant” that can remove lead and other toxic heavy metals from contaminated water. Possessing a flavour that everyone savours, US based researchers say that the coriander leaf (Dhaniya in Hindi, Kothamalli in Tamil and Malayalam) “has the ability to drink up heavy metals like lead and nickel that have leaked into ground water”. Studies are continuing to learn how well the herb can remove other heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury. Cilantro is also a commonly used cooking herb in Mexico which also has a serious ground water pollution problem, Professor Schauer said. (More Than) 101 Lessons I Will Share With My Daughter. As a Life Coach and Women’s Mentor, I work with many young ladies who are looking for guidance and direction as they blossom into their womanhood and femininity.

If you’ve spent any time online recently, you might have noticed a striking photo making its rounds. Feast your eyes on Glass Gem corn: a stunning, multi-colored heirloom that has taken Facebook and the blogosphere by storm. With its opalescent kernels glimmering like rare jewels, it’s easy to see what the buzz is about. This is some truly mind-blowing maize. For the staff here at Native Seeds/SEARCH, the viral explosion of interest in Glass Gem has been thrilling—but not surprising. As the proud stewards of this variety (along with the bioregional seed company, Seeds Trust) we are lucky enough to have grown and admired this extraordinary corn ourselves.

To Purchase Glass Gem Seed: Paleo Bread Recipe | Living Healthy With Chocolate. It is Friday and here is my last recipe of the week that I am overly excited to share with everyone. I have been asked many times if I had a recipe for a gluten free, Paleo bread and until now I had only developed sweet breads like Chocolate Zucchini Bread or a couple of versions of Banana Bread or Marble Bread . Paleo, Gluten and Grain Free Sandwich Bread I am excited about this recipe for Paleo Sandwich Bread because even though it is completely grain and gluten free, it tastes amazing and the consistency is moist and soft just like the sandwich breads we were used to before changing our diet.
In my opinion though, there is also a tiny hint of sweetness to it and this is due to the almond flour being sweeter than grain wheat flour. I cut the bread into thin slices and it is great toasted. If you are like me, you will cover the bread in a good raw gouda cheese, but go ahead and smother it with butter, olive oil, jams, or anything you like. Paleo Sandwich Bread.

Year-Round Gardening | Square Foot Gardening. I am a big fan of using year-round gardening to harvest fresh food twelve months a year – even in cold climates. Not only is fresh food more nutritious and tasty than canned or frozen, but it is a lot more energy-efficient. When I was a child, we planted our entire row garden within a 2-4 week time period, and usually had to harvest each crop within a similar narrow time frame.
This resulted in a glut of food that we had to eat within a few days or weeks. We needed to can or freeze any food that we couldn’t eat at once. It was a huge amount of work to preserve lots of food in the few short weeks of August and September. Successful year-round gardening involves: expanding the varieties of fruit and vegetables in your dietlearning to eat more fresh food in seasongrowing varieties of fruit and vegetables that store easilyextending the growing season of some cropsextending the harvesting season for many crops Enjoy More Variety What Do You Do With These Winter Vegetables?

Here’s a list of materials and costs: wood (two 16′ 2×10 boards, one 8′ 2×10 board-$31 total)16 corner brackets ($.56 each, $9)wood stain (1 can from the “oops” pile-$5)screws ($5)miscellaneous parts ($3)weed mat (free)kite string (free)1 bale peat moss ($8)1 bag perlite ($13)3 bags chicken compost ($11)11 bags steer compost ($15)6 gallon bucket of coffee grounds (free) Total Cost: $100 Tools and equipment: electric drillscissorsshovelglovespaintbrush First, of course, we made a plan. We made a bit of a mistake at HD-we allowed the store employee to pick our boards for us (they were heavy!).
Since we knew the exact lengths we needed, we had the HD employee to cut the wood right there. We lay the boards on a flat surface (patio) and screwed the corner brackets on the insides. Upon the advice of the guy at HD, we bought stain and stained the boxes. One of us stained, while the other prepped the area. Voila! Happy gardening! Square Foot Gardening Soil--Mel's Mix | My Square Foot Garden. You may be asking “whose mix”?

Since I posted by recipes for homemade shampoo and DIY dry shampoo I’ve gotten a few emails asking about natural/herbal options for hair color. I’ve experimented with natural hair lightening in the past, but hadn’t tried dark or red shades. Many wasted herbs and a bunch of randomly colored streaks on the underside of my hair later, I figured out some good dark and red options as well! I started with sandy blonde hair, so I used the lightening herbs on most of my head, and I’m the blondest I’ve been since childhood (with some interesting red/brown streaks underneath). I think the reds and browns would be even more dramatic on hair that was already darker, but they definitely had my hair not-blonde anymore.
If any of you with dark hair try the red or dark colors, please let me know how they work on you! These are natural colors and as such will create natural hues on your hair.
