Essential Health Blends

We always harvest the fruit but we forget that sometimes the whole plant is beneficial and also can be medicinal!

Did you know that fig leaf tea supports blood sugar management, reducing inflammation, and promoting heart and respiratory health!

And "supposedly" taste like vanilla and sugar... I added a piece to my tea this morning and if its nasty the researcher will hear my mouth 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

Happy Friday

The struggle I go through with my mental... get out of your head and keep pushing to your full potential (talking to myself)

I'm so beyond proud of this guy here... Not only did he set a goal and work at it sometimes endlessly and sometimes in the rain, he accomplished his goal and made it to 9th grade Soccer team for K Park 🎉🎉🎉

This last year of Middle school I have seen him grow a little more out of his shell! He even helped build and take down the stage and was the lighting crew for their Middle school play helping until 7p!

Let's not talk about how I got video evidence of him dancing and enjoying himself at the last 8th grade dance (if you know Day you know he doesn't usually dance but he will dance for cute girls plus my baby don't really have the rhythm down all the way 🤣)

He excelled in all of his academics with Culinary giving him a run for his money but he made it happen! (He is STILL not allowed in my kitchen 🤣)

Wow, High school here we come!

Crazy hair day and you know who had to look the craziest 🤣
