Bitters can Be Beneficial

Bitters - Bring'em On! How bad can they be? Ha! Thankfully, you can take them in tincture form. No need to forage in the back yard, or drink a glassful. Bitters in itty-bitty amounts can be beneficial. Honestly, if you want optimum liver function, they aren't optional. Because of some of my recent health challenges, …

A Walk Down Memory Lane

I was reading back through some old blog posts (2009) and I ran across this one. I know this has nothing to do with Skinny Dipping, or Detoxing... but really, anytime you are putting drugs in your system, detoxing is paramount. Why? They are toxic. If you feel you must take drugs, take measures to …

’tis the season for Detoxing -Post Thanksgiving Special Offer

I hope you all had a memorable Thanksgiving, and took some time to meditate on all the blessings in your life, especially your health. Typically we are thankful for material blessings, and family, but fail to remember to be thankful for the fact that we have eyes that see, ears that hear, arms and legs …

Overcoming the Hormonal Hades of Perimenopause

If only the answer was so simple!! I know this is a "hot" topic amongst many of my friends. (Yes, that *is* a play on words for those of you who are slow, or are just not intimately familiar with the side effects of going through the glorious transition to the Golden Years.) As a …

A Liver Update and a Serendipitous Surprise!

Today marks 6 days of bitters and I can definitely report some detoxing has occurred.  Nothing major, or debilitating, but signs that changes are taking place are still noteworthy.  Last night, I changed up my Skinny Dip routine and swapped around the oils I used.

Skinny Dipping and Postpartum “Baby Belly”

Love Your Liver and It Will Love You Back (part 3)

It may seem as if I am camping out on the liver, and I guess I am. It really is that important! If your liver isn't working properly, you aren't absorbing all your nutrition, you are unnecessarily storing fat, and no amount of exercise will help you shed those last few pounds. When your liver …

Love Your Liver with the Foods You Eat

Someone shared this article with me, and I thought it was appropriate to share since my last posts have been about our livers and how to better support them. You should take the time to read it, but don't dismiss it thinking that there is nothing that can be done, or that it doesn't affect …

Love Your Liver with the Master Cleanse Tonic (Part Two)

Life sometimes gets in the way, no? The entire month of June is a blur, but July is here and I am emerging from the frenzy. We had 3 birthdays, a wedding, and a new grand baby was born all before the second week of June ended. Immediately following I was responsible for coordinating and …
