  1. Maybe you could try a chiropractor. I've never had shingles, but my chiro told me he has great success in treating shingles, even people who struggled with it for months. Not sure if just any chiro could help as they're all different, but maybe (if you're lucky) you could find one who deals w/shingles.

     

    Hope you feel better soon.

  2. Another Trim Healthy Mama fan here. I hesitated, but for me it's really been worth the money. They don't just tell you to eat

    healthy, they also explain the science behind their plan. It made sense to me. I love bread, have a sweet tooth and no desire to

    live without desserts.I'm so am happy to have THM healthy but tasty alternatives. I actually think I'll be able to make this a way of life. I also lost 10 pounds in the first few weeks. I will say though that eating on their plan was a steep learning curve for me and I'm *still* learning, a month into it.

  3. I have Corelle. I like that it's thin, light, very durable, doesn't chip easily, doesn't take up much space. It's great for hard

    everyday use. The pattern on some of mine has really faded though due to the years I put it in the dishwasher, so it doesn't look

    the greatest anymore.

  4. My 6lb dog brushes his own teeth. We give him our old toothbrushes, and they are among his favorite toys. Many mornings one of the first things he does is jump on the sofa with his toothbrush and gnaw away. lol! He was just at the vet and his teeth were fine so I guess it's working?!

  5. Dh built me a greenhouse out of odds and ends. I'd always wanted one so was pretty happy about it. I start all my own veggie garden plants now (tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, celery, swiss chard, zucchini, etc etc anything I want to get an early start). I also start a few flowers like petunias, pansies, but I can never seem to get them started early enough that they're blooming when it's time to put out hanging pots.

     

    Actually I have an old chest freezer rigged with grow lights and christmas lights buried in dirt/sand (for heat) that I sprout the seeds in. They grow in there for awhile until the weather moderates enough that they can survive in the greenhouse--cold winters here. The greenhouse has to be heated till the weather warms up and I'm still running the heater in there at night.

  6. You might take a look at these blogs: http://showerofroses...y-thursday.html

    There are some really good ideas there. If you search around there are ideas for an Easter tea as well.

     

    A few years ago I incorporated the lenten & Easter tea into our Holy Week/Easter celebrations and it quickly became a treasured tradition. I printed out the accompanying Scripture verses and made place-card type cards out of them. These go on the table near to the accompanying foods. At the meal, we all take turns reading the cards nearest to us and passing the foods. It is definitely a highlight of our week.

  7. I have the clay but so far I've only used it in making my own translucent face powder, which I love! I haven't tried the detox, but am interested. So LMK your results if you do it! Sorry I couldn't be of help, but here's a bump for you :)

  8. Thank you, OP, for the recommendation. Will definitely get some of this to have on hand!

     

    I, for one, am very grateful for homeopathy which is helping to manage my chronic disease rather than a lifetime of prednisone staring me in the face.

     

    To the naysayers: how do you explain the successful use of homeopathy in animals and plants? Surely the placebo effect cannot be a part of it for them.
