As you all know by now, I'm kind of a hippy chick. Okay, there's no kind of. I wear beads. My "uniform" is band t-shirts and tie-dye.  I listen to Classic Rock and Reggae. My favorite artists are Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun.  (Look them up if you're into music and aren't offended by curse words.) 

Anyway, I think it's safe to say that the hippy life is the life for me in many ways. And ya know what? I've never been happier, and have never had a cleaner, more intentional lifestyle before. I turn 39 on Monday, and I feel SO much younger than that. I have to attribute much of this to living a pretty darn healthy lifestyle. I quit smoking cold turkey a few years ago, I gave up pop, I don't partake in alcoholic bevvies, and I stay away from any substances that can harm me or become addictive. I want to be the best version of me possible, so I can be the best mother to my kids that I can be. 

Another thing that I feel helps greatly with my overall wellness is CBD. I am a HUGE advocate for CBD and legal hemp/Cannabis in general. I personally take CBD on a daily basis, and it has improved the quality of my life immensely. While CBD isn't meant to treat or cure anything, and that all diagnoses should be doled out by a trusted physician, I CAN testify what CBD has done for me over the past few years, and how using CBD products like those from VIVE CBD has positively impacted my own life. 

Hey, come here. Let's talk for a second. About what, you may ask? 
​
Palm Oil. 

Palm oil is the most common form of edible vegetable oil. It is made from the fruit of oil palm trees, which originally grew in Western Africa but are now grown in tropical regions all over the world.
 
Palm oil can be found in more than 70% of cosmetics. The palm oil industry also has a devastating impact on the environment, contributing to global deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and biodiversity loss, the palm oil industry also has a devastating impact on the environment. Just Google this, and prepare to grab a tissue. It's truly heartbreaking. 
 
Sure, you may not always see “palm oil” in the ingredients, but palm is hiding as emulsifiers and surfactants with generically chemical-sounding names—like sorbitan olivate, sorbitan stearate, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, and more.
 
Additionally, palm oil offers NO benefits to soap or other beauty products - it is simply a filler.  We are needlessly destroying the environment for no reason. Sadly, most major soap brands use palm oil. 

It can be hard seeing your relatives getting old. While many people enjoy their later years and take up new hobbies, others struggle with health problems, disabilities (Veteran? See this veterans disability lawyer serving Wisconsin) and loneliness. Seeing loved ones pass away can be distressing and seniors might become isolated or distanced from friends and family.

We all have a part to play in helping our older relatives. Our relatives look after us
when we’re young, so it’s only right that we do the same when they’re old. Not sure
how?

The following tips will help.

Medical help
Seniors can develop health issues more quickly because their immune systems
need to work harder. They are more likely to have serious repercussions from falls.
Help your senior relative by keeping an eye on their health (and don’t forget mental health, too). If they have any ailments or issues, take them to do a doctor
immediately.

Company
Isolation is a big problem for seniors. Due to mobility problems, many people aren’t able to get about as they once could. This means that they stay in their homes and don’t socialize. But your senior relative needs human interaction as much as anyone else. Going over for a cup of tea once a week might just lift their mood and give them the chance to have a good old chat.

Adapting the home
Some seniors might need changes to their home to help them get around with more ease. They might struggle with the stairs or appliances. Help your senior relative to adapt their home by making some calls, installing the correct equipment and moving items around. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and safe in their own home.

Decoration and cleaning
While practicality in the home is certainly necessary, your senior relative also
deserves to live somewhere that looks nice. Cheer them up by helping them to
decorate and keep the place clean. A spot of dusting and hoovering will make a
huge difference, and so will some lovely bright walls, framed photos of the family and relaxing lighting.

Accompaniment
If your senior relative struggles to get out and about, you can help by accompanying them. Whether they need someone to hold onto, push the wheelchair or carry their bags, a little help with mobility can go a long way. You give them the chance to continue being independent and stick to their routine by providing a little support along the way.

Gardening
Gardening can be difficult on older bodies because it requires a lot of bending down. So, help your elderly relative by pulling out weeds and doing some planting. A beautiful garden will make them smile.

As you all know by now, I am absolutely loving Superior Source's MicroLingual Vitamins. I take them daily, since they make proper supplementation simple and painless, even while on the go. I especially love their Biotin, since it helps my hair, skin and nails look and feel fabulous. 

This month, I'd love to talk about some Superior Source Supplements that are perfect for the men in our lives.

​If the men in your life are anything like my husband, getting them to take vitamins is an uphill battle. Dan has trouble swallowing any pills, no matter how tiny, without gagging. With Superior Source, this is no longer an issue. He can take his vitamins without water, no matter where his busy days take him.
