Go Green Month
Last month we focused on herbs and other things associated with love.  The month we will go green and discuss things that are associated with green or going green.  Let's start by getting back on track.
It has been some time since we did a weigh in.  Remember the challenge at the beginning of the new year?  We were all given a challenge to have a better body in 365 days.  I know you slipped and guess what I did too.  I will confess that I enjoyed the couple pieces of chocolate that I did consume for Valentine's Day.  However, it is time to get back on track and finish what we started.  The challenge this month is to loose the weight you may have gained last month, "the month of love".  Please leave a comment in the blog to let me know ho well you do with the weight loss.  You may want to start with an herbal cleanse or some type of detoxification program.  If you have any candy or chocolates left over from Valentine's Day now is the time to toss it.  Here is one of my favorite remedies to make for detoxing:

1 cup hot water that has been boiled
1- 2 teaspoons of chickweed powder
1/2 teaspoon of honey

Chickweed can be purchased at your local health food store.   Boil the water like you would for making tea.  Steep the Chickweed in the hot water until the water changes to a murky green color.  Leave the tea to steep longer, add honey and sip slowly.  Be prepared to make many trips to the bathroom after drinking the tea.  You can continue for as many days as you need too detox.  you may notice a change in the appearance of the skin because Chickweed is also good for skin eruptions.  Have fun and happy detoxing.
