1. It helps you breathe easier – Sex is reputedly a natural antihistamine, helping to combat hay fever and asthma symptoms.
2. You’ll look younger – A good sex life is a key to youthful looks, according to a study of 3,500 people age 18 to 102 conducted by the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland. Researchers attributed this to reductions in stress, greater contentment and better sleep, all of which are also associated with sexual activity.
3. It can help your body fight disease – Engaging in sex once or twice a week produces 30 percent higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which boosts your body’s immune system. Scientists have also found that having an active sex life may even lower your risk of developing cancer, heart disease and stroke. On top of all that, it’s a remedy for colds and flu.
4. It burns calories – Like any exercise, sexual intercourse burns fat and calories—about 96 calories in 20 minutes for a 150-lb. person. That means it’ll burn off the calories from that extra glass of wine at dinner (which may have been what put you in the mood in the first place!).
5. It reduces pain – Studies show that vaginal stimulation results in increased pain tolerance, and pleasurable self-stimulation of the clitoris also has an analgesic effect. Researchers report that this type of stimulation can ease the pain of menstrual cramps, arthritis, migraine and other conditions.
6. It helps you live longer—if you do it often enough – A Welsh longitudinal study examined the relationship between mortality and frequency of sexual activity. Researchers found that the risk of dying in any one year was 50 percent lower among men who had sex twice or more a week than among men who had sex less than once a month. Even when controlling for such factors as age, social class and smoking status, the study concluded that the more sex, the better.
7. It promotes a feeling of well-being – Sexual activity fosters everything from sexual and reproductive health to happiness. And one U.S. study of more than 1,800 people found that surges in oxytocin and endorphins (which have an apparent sedative effect) occurred as a result of orgasm, explaining why sex often leads to falling asleep.

This has got to be one of my favorites tricks, it drives me crazy how much razors cost so i did some research and found this awesome little trick to extend the life of your razors. All you need is and old pair of jeans or a piece of denim. After you use the razor a few times, run it along the denim in one direction about 20 times then switch directions and repeat. The denim threads catch and remove blade-dulling debris restoring it’s sharpness.

As the weather gets nicer, we are all more inclined to head out doors and fire up the Barbecue. After sitting all winter the grill can sometimes be..well…less then clean. After the grill has been heating for about 10 mins, cut a white onion in half and stick it on the end of one of your BBQ tools. Use the flat side of the onion to scrap along the grill, the enzymes in the onion will help to loosen up the grim and buildup on the grill and the anti-septic properties will freshen and clean leaving your grill spotless and ready for the summer.
Enjoy!

We all know that being stressed causing us to pack on the pounds, some people say they stress eat but it’s really due to our adrenal glands. When you’re stressed these glands will release a hormone called cortisol which makes our bodies store fat in our bellies and thighs. Here are a few solutions to reduce the impact of stress on our bodies:
1. (most important) Reduce the stress – there are many ways to reduce the stress in your life. Try yoga or any form of exercise, meditation, talking it out, kick boxing, whatever you need to do to release that stress. Get up and do it!!
2. Drink lots of water – our entire body including brain depends on water to do even the most basic functions.
3. Vitamins – It’s almost impossible for us to eat the amount of food required to get our daily vitamins, so go to your local health food store and ask the clerk to help you find a multi vitamin from all natural sources. You will feel the difference almost instantly.
4. Eat Oranges or citrus fruits – Citrus fruit has been shown to stop the stress-fat cycle. Try to eat one cup a day, especially during stressful times.
5. Laugh – Laugh everyday, the saying laughter is the best medicine is actually scientifically proven, so watch a funny movie, hang out with people who are positive and have fun!!
6. Last but not least – Don’t sweat the small stuff, life is tooo short to worry and stress over things (especially if we have no control over them). So, when you start to feel stressed ask yourself “Do I have any control over this”. If the answer is no then you’re bringing it on yourself by worrying. Release that worry. If your answer is yes, well then do something about it.
Enjoy!

Thanks to Terri from Healings for Body and Soul for this super yummy (and healthy) recipe.
You cook an onion, as much garlic as you like, 1 cup of cubed carrots with ¼ tsp each cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cayenne. When the carrots and onions are soft add 3cups cauliflower, 1 diced yellow pepper, 1 small diced zucchini and 1 cup chickpeas. Add in 1 cup tomato sauce, salt & pepper and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Says you can add 1 tbsp of peanut butter too. Mix that all together and cook 20 mins. Let it cool for a bit after it’s cooked.
For the crust, pulse (with either blender or food processor) 1 cup chickpeas with ¾ cups cold butter, 3tbsp cold water and 1 ½ cups flour, ½ tsp cumin and tumeric. Pulse until well mixed. Knead 2 mins (you may need to add more flour as you go if it’s too sticky) then divide the dough in half and roll out a bottom crust and top crust for a 9-inch pie plate. Use the deepest dish you have because the filling will pile up high.
Preheat oven to 400. Put the bottom crust into the pie plate and add the filling then put the top crust on and pinch the edges together. Brush the top of the pie with a bit of melted butter. Bake for 45 mins.

If you are in the middle of a war with all the raccoon’s in the neighbourhood and maybe even feel as though you are losing don’t fear..Salt is here??? Yup that’s right, Raccoon’s hate the taste of salt so try sprinkling about 5 tablespoons of Epsom salts on top of your garbage or garbage cans. One taste and the raccoons will stay away from the trash.
Let me know how you make out and good luck.

Which are you most interested in? I’m hoping that you choose the longer human life. Here is a list of the 10 most toxic and most consumed chemicals added to our every day foods to preserve them longer, or add flavour but are actually killing us slowly. Did you know that when a person dies it takes 3-4 times longer for our bodies to decompose due to the amount of preservatives we have stored in our fatty tissues. I know that’s a bit gross but come on people as my mom would say give your head a shake.
Take 3 minutes to read the article below and start living your life to live longer, healthier and happier.
