It seems like everyone is talking about activated charcoal these days! Well there’s a good reason for it. Activated charcoal is such an incredible ‘superfood’, full of great healthy properties some of which include: reducing gas and bloating, making skin look radiant, and detoxifying the entire body. It’s even AWESOME to make your teeth white! Trust me, I’ve used it! It is also used medically for drug overdose victims that need immediate help. Activated charcoal is VERY porous and negatively charged and toxins are positively charged and thereby attracted to the charcoal. Charcoal works magically by binding to the toxins and draws the poisons and toxins out of the body. Another great thing for charcoal is bathing in it. It is heavenly and pulls toxins out through your skin. We all live lives that are stressed out, and we are inundated with environmental pollutants that can wreak havoc on our…
Mom and I decided to drive to Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to bask in a weekend of spiritual love and our quest to go deeper into our lives by bringing in a more mindfulness practice. These retreats are reminders to keep nudging us forward into a more peaceful state and to recognize that everything is happening for us and for our higher good.

On my emails, engaging with staff, working on marketing materials, and running Kelly’s Bake Shoppe all at the same time. It leaves me feeling unaccomplished and rushed. only up until recently have i starting taking time for myself on a regular basis. I’ve started blocking out parts of my day to spend time by myself, with Michael, friends, and working on other areas of my life. When I find myself getting lost in piles of work, and forgetting who “Erinn” is as a person and not what I do for a living, I remind myself of what’s truly important. What’s important (to me at least) are the people in my life and the memories I…
I just got back from travelling Costa Rica on my own and had an amazing time. Though some people are nervous to travel alone, it’s an amazing experience that everyone has to try at least once in their lifetime. If you plan the right way, stay safe, and know what you’re doing, taking a solo trip is incredible. After making my way through the rainforest I’ve put together this guide for you so that you’ll have everything you need to tackle the globe on your own! Here are a few things you can’t leave home without: 1. A Great Tour Guide I was so fortunate on my trip to Costa Rica to have my now, dear friend, Andrea from Souljourn Adventure guide me through the first 6 days of my trip. She took me to all of the best spots in Costa Rica and showed me all of the local spots and…
