Quickie: Make a Snow Day Even Better.

Depending on where you are located, you could actually be waking up to snow, today. Make a snow day even better for you and the kids, by adding food coloring to water bottles. Add a few drops of color with water into a water bottle and punch a small hole in the cap with a thin nail. If you have old hair coloring bottles or mustard bottles; these work fantastic.

Get the kids bundled up and give them the colored water. All you do, is squeeze the bottles of color, to spend the day “drawing” in the snow.

Natural Relief for ADHD Symptoms

By Tia Cristy

Natural Relief for ADHD Symptoms

Problem: Hi Tia, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I am not sure about the medications. Is there natural remedies for that, that you know of?

Tip from Tia: Hi,well first off, I hope you are feeling alright. Second, I am not a doctor, so you need to talk to your doctor about other options with ADHD. Now, the information that I can give, is only to be considered as helpful opinion, not medical advice.

Recent studies have shown a belief that there is a link between ADHD and vitamin D deficiency. I would suggest, that you request a blood test on your vitamin D levels from your family doctor. If you are low, the doctor can give you a high dose, over time to balance you back out.

Also, another way you may get some relief from symptoms could be a 20 minute soak in Epsom salts, daily. ADHD, has also been believed to be linked to an overgrowth of yeast and a deficiency in magnesium. The soak; whether you do a full body or just a foot soak, will give you your daily value of magnesium. It’s been shown to balance the body. And, in the least case scenario, it will be a 20 minute relaxation time, that is beneficial to soothe your symptoms.

And, like anything linked to yeast overgrowth, watch your sugar in take. Yeast feeds off sugar and multiplies. So, if it is true ADHD is linked to yeast overgrowth, cutting out sugar will have a multitude of benefits in relieving your symptoms of ADHD.

Keep your doctor in the loop, of all that you are doing and follow his instructions, if you are on medications. In some cases, stopping medications without the doctors knowledge or instructions, could result in other problems.

Give Your Fireplace a Light Show. Quickie:

Quickie: Give Your Fireplace a Light Show.

It’s time to enjoy the turkey leftovers, and after unwrapping all those gifts, a ton of paper is let over. Recycling is the way to go with most of the paper, but give yourself and family a little entertainment by having a light show in the fireplace. Safety is first. Do not do this, if you haven’t much fireplace experience. Have safety gear close by, ex: extinguishers, sand, etc. Hot paper amber’s can potentially escape the fireplace and burn things. 

Take the colorful paper, (similar colors together) and place in the fireplace. The color from the paper will change the color of the flame. Blues and greens tend to be the most prominent in changing colors. It is entertaining and a warm event for the family to partake in together.

Safety is extremely important when dealing with the fireplace. Pay attention and don’t leave it unattended, and be sure to teach the kids fire prevention and safety.

Tips in Action: Holiday Hair.

Holiday parties are a lot of prep, trying to prep the food, house etc. while getting yourself ready, may leave you feeling flush and rushed.

A good tip in action is to clean your hair the night before or early in the day. Allowing time to for your hair to settle, lose any chance of frizz or allow nice natural oils to give a shine is beneficial to helping style your do.

Going for an updo? Give yourself plenty of time to get it the way you want it. Uncleaned hair holds better than, freshly cleaned.

If you want beach waves, pull your hair up into a high twist while hair is slightly damp, after several hours of party prep, your hair will be nice and wavy when you pull down the twist. 

Looking to get it straight, but need to pull it back out of your face for the time being? Use a loose cloth covered holder or fabric to tie it back. This will help from bending the hair and leaving creases. Make sure it’s been thermal protected, before you use a straightening iron or curling iron.
