The Functions of Fruits & Veggies

I thought this chart was so interesting! When I eat my fruits and vegetables I usually don't think about what it can do for my body "health wise". I just eat my veggies because I know its good and healthy for me. This chart is great because now when I eat bananas I know that it is good for energy and that blueberries is good for the heart. How cool is that!

What is Oil Pulling?

At first when I heard about Oil Pulling I was like "What is that?" The word Oil Pulling might sound like a strange and excruciating thing. Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic technique for detoxing. Oil pulling really helps with oral hygiene and many other ailments like: Tooth Whitening, Mouth & Gum Disease, Stiff Joints, Allergies, Asthma, High Blood Sugar, Constipation; Migraines, Bronchitis, Eczema and more!

• All you do is take 2 teaspoon of sesame oil or coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for 15-20 minutes. (Make sure the oil is organic. I bought mine at Whole foods)
• Do not gargle with the oil. You do not want to risk swallowing it. 
• Once done swishing, spit the oil out into a trash bag or plastic cup. (Don't spit it out in your toilet or sink it might clog it.)
•  Finish by brushing your teeth and rinsing with water.

After doing the oil pulling, I notice a couple days later my teeth was whitened and my gums were pink and healthy. I'm all for taking care of your body naturally. You can either oil pull in the morning before you brush your teeth or before you go to bed. Remember I'm not a doctor or dentist so check with your physician first! So if you want a natural way of getting your teeth whitened and also detox your mouth & body. Then try oil pulling ! Check out a video below more about Oil pulling! Let me know if it works!

Key West For The Weekend!

Aah!!! Finally I went on my much needed vacation. Look at me cheesing! Yes that's how happy I was to get a break from work and school. I took a 4 hour road trip this past weekend with my family. Here I'm standing at the southernmost point of Key West. I am literally 90 miles away from Cuba. How cool is that!

These were the travel accesorries I bought with me for this 4hour road trip. Sunglasses, Crackberry Bold, watch, and a new book I started reading "Having A Mary Heart in a Martha World". I also bought my favorite snacks Hot Cheetos and Oreos :)

RA Sushi Anyone?

So I went to RA Sushi with my sisters today. Even though it rained it felt great to get outside the house.  We went around Happy Hour time . I ordered the California Roll which comes with slices of ginger and wasabi. I must say my Blackberry camera takes some awesome food pics.

I also ordered my favorite Crunchy Calamari Roll. This tastes so delicious! I love eating Calamari so I had to get this.

To finish the meal I tried the Green Tea Ice cream and also a hot Green Tea . I didn't like the Green Tea ice cream maybe because it tastes exactly like Green Tea lol.

My Nutriblast Drink!

So now that I got my Blackberry Bold working I'm able to take more pics! Yay! This morning I made a green smoothie with my Nutribullet. I blogged about green smoothies here. In my Nutriblast drink I put some frozen blueberries, strawberries, pineapples, banana, gogi berries, and spinach. I also added some spirulina, aloe vera juice and a vitamin c pill! Yum!! I usually drink a smoothie during the morning and one in the evening. Ever since I've been drinking my green smoothies I've had more energy, feel good and even lost some weight! Remember your health is your wealth!

Courtship vs Dating

Some people get the two mixed up but courting and dating are completely different from each other.

Courtship [ˈkɔːtʃɪp]
n
1. the act, period, or art of seeking the love of someone with intent to marry.
Courting was the traditional way of getting to know someone that will lead to marriage. Courting involves group outings and your parents are aware of who you talking to. In a courtship the couple doesn't live together or have late night stay overs. There is no sex. There are boundaries when courting. The couple knows off bat that they want to get married. So there's no guessing of "Is he going to marry?" You already know because in courting that is the purpose of the relationship. In  courtship your heart is protected since you not getting physical. You have sex when you are married. Courting is also God's way! I think courting is more playful and romantic. The man have to really woo the lady to have her heart.

Dating : to be in the early stages of a relationship where they go out on dates to find out what each other is like, as a prelude to actually being a fully fledged couple.
 This is the modern day spin of getting to know someone that can lead to a serious relationship and even marriage. Dating you meet as many people you want until you realize who you are most compatible with. The problem with dating you are not certain if the relationship will lead to marriage. Dating can lead to moving in together, unplanned pregnancy, your heart being broken and Stds. The media makes it seem that this is the ideal way to get to know someone but that is not the case.

Check out this video of Courtship vs Dating from blogger/writer Natasha Sapienza. She really breaks it down nicely. Also check out her blog http://betterthanedward.com

Jesus Love You!

Check out this awesome shirt I got! Jesus Love You! Yes! You. An imperfect human being. A person that sins and never seem to get it right. Jesus wants to become the CENTER of your LIFE the very foundation. All you got to do is believe and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You will become a new person in HIM. You can have everything in the world a dream job, nice car, fancy clothes or go on exotic vacations or trips. But I'm sure after all that there is still an empty feeling or hole. Like something is missing. You're fully not happy. You know who's missing? Jesus. He is the only one that can feel that hole. He will come in and bring love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness(Galatians5:22).
 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 (KJV)
