A nice way to end a Sunday night is with a big bowl of nice cream. I normally keep my frozen bananas for my smoothies because they make them SO CREAMY! But some times you just have to blend those bad boys up and eat a big bowl of nice cream. 🍌❤️Every once in a while I like to eat it chunky like second picture because it reminds me of the banana split dip n dots from back in the day. I ❤️Bananas!!

Grocery shopping this weekend. Ran out of a lot of my daily foods and herbs, so meals have been way more simple. Which I gotta say it's a nice change, I'm so focused on getting certain foods in me through out through out the day I stick to the same recipes. But today all in my buddha bowl was potatoes with a little sea salt, spinach lettuce mix, tomato and avocado. So simple yet so fresh and funny! I need to remember to mix things up and not get so stuck in a routine where I get sick of things. I haven't gotten sick of my recipes but I sure don't want to get to that point because that's normally when I used to fall off the wagon. Ever since going plant based I have a new appreciation for food that's grown. The smell, the flavor, the texture and the colors 😍🌿💚I can't wait for the day where I'm strong and healthy enough to have a huge garden and grow my own. 🌿💚

What a busy few weeks it has been! I haven't been eating these buddha bowls everyday like normal and today this is all my body was craving, mainly the greens. I never get off my path of plant based eating but I haven't been on my routine lately and I am noticing a big difference in how I feel. My cold really messed up my routine. I was focused on getting rid of the stupid cold I started missing supplements, my smoothies, started eating soup everyday which had brown rice noodles. And eating sweet potato chips. Even though those aren't terrible foods they aren't healing foods for me. And I can tell a big difference. More migraines, I'm actually waking up with them, tingles, weakness, numbness, fatigue, memory and vision issues, a lot of my symptoms have been slowly coming back the last couple of weeks. I'm am normally so set in my routine so I don't mess anything up. But life gets busy and shit happens. But the important part is that when this happens and it does time to time because let's face it we are human. I'm not perfect and I don't expect anyone else to be but you just need to pick yourself up and get back on that routine. Don't put yourself down, just learn from it and continue on your healing path 😊And that's what I'm doing. I know these symptoms won't go away overnight but I know I'm a day closer to healing. 🌿Remember to be kind to yourself! I am very guilty for getting on myself when I go off my path, but I'm getting better at learning from my mistakes and going on and not dwelling on the past. Keep positive, I know it's hard at times but this is all worth it. YOU are amazing! YOU are strong! YOU are a fighter! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! 💚💚💚

Today was such a beautiful day!!!!! Blue skies, barely any wind it was just perfect! I got to sit outside eat my big bowl of papaya and bananas while playing fetch with my boy Timber. Then after I was done eating, I took my shoes and socks off and walked around feeling the grass between my toes, getting some grounding done. Man what an amazing feeling 😁After a long winter it was so nice to finally get that sunshine and get connected again. Grounding is something I've always loved to do but didn't know I was even doing anything for many years. I put my phone down and just enjoyed the peaceful, calming feeling reconnecting with the earth. Grounding and sunshine oh how I've missed you. 🌿☀️❤️

So since Ive been on this healing protocol if I feel a cold coming on I up some supplements and up certain fruit and veggies and I can make them go away. Well not this time. Started feeling something come on Tuesday night and have had a nasty head cold every since, I upped my Ester C and Ionic zinc and I feel like a new person already. Yesterday I was running hot and cold on the couch wrapped up in a blanket pushing water and tea with honey. I woke up today feeling 95% better. Haven't had a cold or flu in a year and a half so I really can't complain. Before I started healing I would get colds/flu's every month or when I would be getting over one I would catch another. It was terrible!!! Now I know with colds I push a lot of fruit, but there is just something about hot soup that tastes so good when I have a cold. So this is my second pot I've made since I've had this cold. I love this veggie soup! After I took this picture I was cleaning up and realized I almost forgot GARLIC!!! That would of been terrible, garlic adds so much to this and the flavor.

Hey juicing friends, this may be a weird question but has anyone juiced peppers before? I go to this local market and the owner knows me well now and asked if I juiced peppers. He had a box he gave me for free to try out of ones with some small soft spots he won't try and sell. I've never seen anyone juice them but doesn't mean people don't. Lol please comment below if you have. #juicing #juicingpeppers #juicingforhealth #plantbased #ebsteinbarr #shingles #streptococcus #heavymetalsdetox #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #healingchronicillness #chronicillness #hypothyroidism #sibo #celiacdisease #glutenfree #cornfree #soyfree #ms #fibromyalgia #migraines #muscleweakness #ovariancyst #ibs #herniateddisc #hormoneimbalance #youcanheal #medicalmedium #medicalmediumlifestyle #peppers

My new bowl for my Buddha bowls and salads is amazing. I thought it might be too deep but I just put more greens in there and I'm good to go! I was planning on going raw for a while to help with the detox process but I just can't imagine stop eating my potatoes. My body craves them, so I will just listen to my body on when it's time to go raw 🌿😊#plantbased #ebsteinbarr #shingles #streptococcus #heavymetalsdetox #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #healingchronicillness #chronicillness #hypothyroidism #sibo #celiacdisease #glutenfree #cornfree #soyfree #ms #fibromyalgia #migraines #muscleweakness #ovariancyst #ibs #herniateddisc #hormoneimbalance #youcanheal #buddhabowl #guacamole #spinach #potatoes #potatolover

New Salad and Buddha bowl!!!!!! Can't wait to use this beauty. So yesterday I got to go to our County Spring Craft Fair with my mom and sisters. Had such an amazing time, I haven't been able to go for the last couple years because I've been so sick. It was really hard on me because I loved the tradition of going with the girls, seeing the beautiful pieces and supporting the local artists. It may not seem like a big deal to you but being able to go do something I love and have missed is huge for me. It made me so happy to be able to go plus not having to cancel plans made it feel even better. Having chronic illness you know how it feels having to cancel plans, it sucks and just makes you feel bad and unreliable even when they understand. I still have sensitives to fragrances and bright lights triggering migraines. So I tried to just be cautious and stay away from those things. Anxiety is still something I struggle with a lot. But was able to get through the whole thing without having an anxiety attack. Before my health got really bad in my early 20s I had no problem with crowds at all. Man I can't wait to be like that again! 😊#plantbased #ebsteinbarr #shingles #streptococcus #heavymetalsdetox #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #medicalmedium #healingchronicillness #chronicillness #hypothyroidism #sibo #celiacdisease #glutenfree #cornfree #soyfree #ms #fibromyalgia #migraines #muscleweakness #ovariancyst #ibs #herniateddisc #hormoneimbalance #youcanheal #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #buddhabowl #saladbowl

I have to remind myself of this time to time. Don't worry about others opinions, let them be them and you just be you!! ❤️🌷#believeinyourself #life #justbeyou #selflove

I may have an addiction to these wraps!!! I have to say I've tried two of their flavors now the veggie life and the original and I like them both but I LOVE the original flavor. It reminds me of bread, not the texture obviously but the taste. Can't wait to get a dehydrator someday and make my own but for now these work perfectly, they are raw and all fresh clean ingredients 😍🤤#plantbased #ebsteinbarr #shingles #streptococcus #heavymetalsdetox #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #healingchronicillness #chronicillness #hypothyroidism #sibo #celiacdisease #glutenfree #cornfree #soyfree #ms #fibromyalgia #migraines #muscleweakness #ovariancyst #ibs #herniateddisc #hormoneimbalance #youcanheal #avocado #guacamole #potatoes #potatolover #eatyourgreens #tomatoes #garlic #cilantro

So today I realized I've been on this healing protocol for 16 months exactly today. What a crazy rollercoaster it has been but I would do it all over again if I had to. I'm still not done and still have my struggles but I count more good days then bad days then before, it was a blessing if I had a good day before. When I started I was so sick I couldn't leave my house, the thought of someone coming by used to make me tremble because my nervous system has been out of wack from the viruses and heavy metals wrecking havoc on my body all these years. I've always been a social butterfly and having chronic illness I thought it was going to destroy my life. Knowing I can heal and watching myself heal everyday is something I always hoped for but didn't know if it would ever happen. I was hoping by my 30th bday in May I would be symptom free which would be my 1 1/2 year mark but that being only a little over 2 months away I don't see that happening. Yes that sucks but just means I'm aiming for a new goal. 😊I'm still healing and that's all that matters. Lets face it I've been sick my whole life with one illness leading to the next, I knew this healing was going to be a long journey and that's ok. Because I'm getting my life back one day at a time, I may get setbacks from detox symptoms and my neck going out but each time isn't as bad as the time before. I am very grateful for my amazing man that keeps me positive, supports me, and holds me when I break down and just need to cry. Also for my family and friends that are always there for me, supportive and understand why I haven't show up to much stuff through the years. You all give me strength and I love you all! ❤️here's to all you who are healing, it may seem impossible at times but please don't give up, you have the fight in you to keep going. If you ever need support or to vent you are always more then welcome to send me a message, talking to someone who understands helps get through the tough times, trust me I know from experience. We are all in this healing together! You are not alone 🌷💕

Made homemade lemon lime deodorant last night. I stopped using traditional deodorants over a month ago, still detoxing it out unfortunately. But that is a good thing, it means I'm getting more toxins out that I have built up. I have made homemade deodorant before that I hated and stained my clothes because of the coconut oil. So this is coconut free and a completely different recipe. I will post the recipe after I use it for a week. Want to make sure it's works and is worth sharing, would hate for anyone to waste the materials if it sucked lol #heavymetalsdetox #homemade #deodorant #homemadebeauty #beautyproducts #removetoxins #doterra #essentialoils #sheabutter #cocoabutter #sweetalmondoil #beeswax #benoniteclay #lemon #lime #lemonlime

This quote means more to me now then ever. My whole life I've loved helping people, but then my health kept getting worse and I couldn't help people like I used to. After being sick for so long then finally getting answers and feeling better healing everyday, made me realize I was meant to be sick, I was meant to struggle, so that I could work my way through it and help others and show them they can do it too. Chronic illness is a bitch and I don't wish it on my worst enemy. It's taken me many years to realize it's not the end of the world. YOU can heal and YOU can get your life back. Yes I am still healing and I still have set backs with detoxing and getting symptoms that makes everyday life a little harder, but nothing will ever stop me from getting to where I want to be. #plantbased #vegan #believeinyourself #dontgiveup #medicalmedium #ebsteinbarr #shingles #streptococcus #migraines #celiacdisease #ibs #multiplesclerosis #fibromyalgia #sibo #chronicfatigue #vertigo #tinnitus #palpitations #anxiety #depression #insomnia #heavymetals #hormoneimbalance #muscleweakness #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #healingchronicillness #medicalmediumprotocol

Tried something new and holy moly is it YUMMMMMMY! I found these veggie wraps at the store and had to try. I was not disappointed. These are the types of things I want to make once I get a dehydrator. 😍I miss sandwiches and this definitely helped get rid of that craving. So I folded the big sheet in half to make the two wraps, then sprinkled a little warm water on both sides which makes it super flexible and didn't crack. Inside Ingredients- homemade chunky guac, homemade baked potatoes slices w/garlic powder and oregano, mixed greens and spinach. Soooooo YUMMY and very filling. Made totally oil free and salt only in the wraps. I saw the company had a couple different flavors but this has been the only one I've tried so far. #plantbased #veggiewrap #veggiewraps #lunch #guacamole #eatyourgreens #spinach #lettuce #potatoes #potatolover #medicalmedium #tomatoes #ebsteinbarr #getinmybelly #shingles #streptococcus #healingwithfood #healingwithplants #healingchronicillness #foodislife #foodie #newrecipe #vegan #veganrecipes #rawfood #oilfree #oilfreevegan
