Natural Insect Repellant

The best thing about growing herbs and spices in your garden are the awesome household things you can make besides cooking with them. I am trying out this natural insect repellant that I made from lavender, lemongrass, chrysthanseum, geranium, cedarwood and citronella. 

I have used it on my plants in my garden and camping out on the beach. So far, this natural concoction has worked really well without the chemicals, or the nauseating smell most incest repellants sprays have.

Nowadays, we must be careful with what we put in and on our bodies. Many of these companies that claim to be organic and natural are often busted for greenwashing. Lots of organic small businesses that have been bought out by corporations are having their organic products altered to have more chemicals that are cheaper to produce. In the end, corporations really don't care what they are putting in our food, creams, sprays and deodorants. These chemicals can lead to cancer, skin disorders and other health issues and we must look after ourselves. Mother Earth has provided all the things we need to make chemical free beauty and other body products. If you would like to purchase a bottle of natural and organically made insect repellant ($8) from me, send me a message!

Beaver Full Moon is a Time to Rid of Bad Habits & Negative Thoughts that Effect Your Fitness Goals

Blood Moon Eclipse

During the Beaver Full Moon is a great time to start dump the bad habits and negative thoughts. Take on this Holiday season free of any impediments holding you back from reaching or maintaining your fitness goals. It is time to reach those goals and intentions before the Winter holidays are here. The Beaver Full Moon symbolizes the beaver's ability to be creators of their own lives which is the perfect time for self-reflection, meditation, and celebration for changing your life to the best it can be health wise. 

Blood Moon Partial Eclipse

On the other side, the Blood Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus symbolizes indulging in "the good life", comfort and pleasure is prioritized. Make sure to keep a healthy balance of the "good life". Taking part of too many Holiday celebrations that coincide with drinking alcohol and decadent foods can ruin all that hard work you have spent training and eating clean. Lots of pleasure can be found with maintaining an equilibrium of being healthy, keeping your fitness goals intact and enjoying the Holidays with friends and family.

Beaver Moon Spiritual Meaning and Intentions for Health and Fitness

• Protection
• Protect yourself from negative influences that will ruin all the demanding work you have put into getting healthy and strong.
• Release
• Release all those negative thoughts and bad habits that will steer you away from your fitness goals.
• Cleansing
• Drink lots of water, eat nutrient dense foods, get 7 - 9 hours of sleep, destress with fitness and meditation. Get outside and take a walk, run or bike. Getting in tune with nature has a very cleansing and relaxing effect on the human body. 
• Empathy
• Don't feel negative thoughts towards people who don't understand your fitness journey. Just remove Negative Nancys from your circle and surround yourself with likeminded, positive people. Remember, they lash out at you because they feel they must be responsible for their own fitness. 
• Transformation
• You are the creator of your own life. It is never too late to transform it into a healthy one physically and mentally. 
• Preparation
• Everything takes preparation. So does eating healthy, maintaining a weekly workout schedule and regular life. Our phones have made it very easy to schedule the week/month for work, family life and play. You can also use a pocketbook journal with a calendar. Schedule your workouts and meal preps just like you would schedule any other important appointment. You will have enough time to prepare for anything if you schedule it beforehand. 

Become and maintain the dream version of yourself you have always wanted to be. Make a visual board of your next goals for the end of the year to the beginning. Review your New Year's resolutions from the beginning of this year. Did you reach all or most of them? Get rid of old clothes that do not fit any more. You do not need to hold onto an item of clothing out of guilt. Donate, sell or throw them away. Having these clothes will only give you the opportunity to get comfortable with gaining weight again. 

There is nothing selfish about taking care of your health and well-being!
