The Remedy Diaries -- Blessed Thistle

Eating in college is one of the most difficult aspects of being away from home. When I was in high school, I lived a very structured lifestyle, since I was working and performing music on top of my regular class schedule. I would do a lot of meal prep, since I would oftentimes have little to no time to pick up or hand-make a meal, and because of my more active lifestyle on my feet, I was being relatively active almost every day.

However, once I moved out and started college, my dietary habits began to morph to the new, disorganized "typical college student" lifestyle. I began eating more processed foods, since they are usually much quicker to prepare, and I worked out less and less as the pressures of deadlines, exams, and assignments began to rise.

This lead me to create an asymbiotic relationship with my body, throwing its levels of glucose and fat cell production off, and in a negative direction. I began having difficulties with digestion, and felt sick to my stomach at times when I ate any size meal. I have recently discovered a natural remedy to these difficulties, called blessed thistle. This plant promotes healthy digestion, and the best (and easiest!) way to ingest it is as a tea, which I LOVE! The blessed thistle is easy to introduce to the body and, thus far, I have not experienced negative side effects from drinking this plant three times a day.

One thing I don't necessarily enjoy is the bitter taste, but oftentimes I add a half of a teaspoon of all-natural honey to balance the flavor for myself. If you'd like to learn more about this product, or if you're interested in buying blessed thistle for your own use, I recommend referencing this site for more information. Comment on the post if you've used blessed thistle, and what your experience has been!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
