Things I am Loving Right Now

I follow Jessica Ainscough's blog religiously.  This amazing Aussie cured herself of cancer using Gerson Therapy.  She is beautiful, passionate, and smart (and an inspiration to boot!).  I love when she posts things she is loving right now.  Maybe she borrowed it from Oprah's "my favorite things" and now I am borrowing it from her.  These are the things I am LOVING right now.


Tera Warner's WISH Summit (Women's International Summit for Health)

For 40 days and 40 nights, Tera gets down and dirty about health, wellness, women's issues, inspiration, business, nutrition and exercise.  You name it, Tera covers it.  Tera is a warm and witty firecracker and tells it like it is.  Tera interviews the Real Deals of the world.  I have laughed and cried and have had my eyes opened to things completely off my radar.  It is a bit more than 1/2 way through so you can still register.

My Tri Blade Vegetable Slicer

I am taking a raw food nutrition certification course and I am in love with zucchini pasta.  So nutritious and delicious.  My die hard meat eating boyfriend is sold and can't believe how filling vegetable pasta can be.  I use this baby at least twice a week.

Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

I recently became a doTERRA distributor (shameless self promotion) and am blown away daily by
the multiple uses for essential oils.  I have used peppermint and lavender on my plantar fasciitis,
lemongrass and frankencense on a bulging disc (aging is great but brings all sorts of random maladies), digestzen on my dog's rumbly tummy, as well as wild orange to to start my day and lift my spirits.  I am not a fan of over the counter medicines and love that these oils are 100% natural, cost effective and have no side effects.

Edgar's Mission

Edgar's Mission is a non profit farm sanctuary in Australia. Cows, pigs, sheep, roosters, horses, goats
and every other farm animal you can think of that has needed rescue will live out their life happy and free.  For $45 a year you can sponsor an animal.  A great idea for classrooms, birthday and wedding presents.  I am in love with Ruby, the dog almost killed by her owner because although she is a herding dog, had no interest in herding.  In 2012, 2452 animals were given another chance at life.

Kale in my garden

How my kale survived the Montana winter is beyond me, but now it is spring and bragging in my barren garden plot is lovely, wonderful kale.  Yes, I drank the kool aid and am happily on the kale bandwagon.  So good for you and delicious.  If kale is still a mystery to you, maybe you haven't taken the time to massage it.  A wee bit of sea salt and olive oil and a loving touch will break down some of the fibers.  Kale chips are a must, but here is my absolute favorite kale recipe (it really is the recipe I love, but Dale Pinnock's Irish accent is icing on the gluten free cake...meeeoww)

Please share what you are loving at this moment.  I can't wait to hear about it.

  1. I love the slicer for zucchini pasta as well. It is very nice ( and messy) for beets!
    I have to try the kale recipe! Thanks for the share!

    1. Ohh beets, it never occurred to me. i am excited to try it out. beets are so delicious. I also use it with cucumbers. You'll love the kale. When I first found the recipe I must have made it twice a week. I have calmed down a bit but I do make it often.

    1. We have such a short growing season I am also excited. I let some of my kale bolt and left the tall stragglers all summer. I bet it reseeded. private email me and I will send you an essential oil website that covers oils and ailments. Tons of great info.

  3. Thanks for sharing! I want to check out the WISH summit and that slicer looks great! Unfortunately if I want to get it, I have to choose a kitchen item to get rid of first:( No more room and that is the deal I made with myself!

    1. I hear ya, so many great gadgets, so little space. A spiralizer is smaller and basically does the same thing, you just don't have a choice in noodle size. WISH has been great. Last night she interviewed Ocean Robbins. Tera Warner is my favorite person right now. She continually blows me away.

  4. Thanks for these cool resources, Andrea! I'm going to forward Edgar's Mission to my dear friend whose dream is to leave his stressful job and open an animal sanctuary. (p.s. I'm a sucker for an Irish accent, too! ;)

    1. When your friend opens a sanctuary let me know! My true dream is to open an old dog's home. Animals are such a gift.

    1. it is a kitchen gadget that I USE repeatedly. For me it was a great investment. I will refrain from talking about Tera Warner, I will sound like a stalker!
