Things We Love

1) Flavored Stevia. Stevia is a wonderful natural sweetener that has no calories and does not disrupt your blood sugar. The brand Sweet Leaf makes flavored stevia which can be used to spice up coffee or iced tea, oatmeal, even yogurt! (Try the cinnamon!)

2) Pilates. This form of exercise has been around for over 80 years. It focuses on mindful exercise that strengthens the core abdominal muscles through controlled movement and breathing. Go to the Pilates Method Alliance to find a certified teacher near you.

3) Headache Remedy. Hydrotherapy is an easy and quick remedy for most headaches, including some migraines. When a headache strikes, roll up some ice inside a towel and put it around your neck. Then sit with your feet in a bucket of hot water (but not so hot that it burns you!) It works fast, it is inexpensive, and there are no side effects!
