Healthy living is not something we should decide upon to adapt or not, as a lifestyle.
Healthy living is the only choice if we put our perspectives in order.
Why not? Being healthy is one ticket to a life that is not riddled with chemical-induced relief from pain and hospital bills.
There are even some illnesses where people need to travel to seek help.Going for cancer treatments in the USA, spine surgery Mexico, and probably even seeking ayurvedic medicine treatments in India are just some of the costly steps people have in order to be healthy again.
Some would even travel to places where it is said that prayers and prayer offerings can give miraculous effect.
Becoming healthy or espousing a healthy living starts with the self.
How?
Some first steps to be considered would be healthy eating, having a fitness program, getting enough sleep and not getting stressed too much.
Yes, it seems like an impossibility to some but taking one small step at a time will surely help one live a lifestyle considered healthy.

My eldest daughter’s project last year was to make a bag from a pair of denim pants.
Here is a part of her project with some dainty beads:
I featured a different bead in this photo for another photomeme.

Dona Elena Cuisinera Club is a virtual hub where mothers, health practitioners and foodies get together virtually to share recipes that will promote healthy eating.
Not only do these members meet in the virtual world, they get to meet each other too, through monthly cooking lessons.
Can healthy and nutritious food go hand in hand? Yes!
How can this be?
Through the use of olive oil in preparing healthy, nutritious and of course, yummy food.
What are the benefits of olive oil?
- It is rich in monounsaturated fat with anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties.
- It can lower cholesterol level and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease AS LONG AS healthy and active lifestyle is also being practiced.
- Olive oil is rich in polyphenols which is a potent antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals in the body.
Go ahead, throw away those fat-laden and/or salty junk food and start learning to cook healthy and nutritious food.
You won’t need to read a lot about chemical-based weight loss supplements, herbal whatnot, alli and why starving yourself is bad (LOL) to be able to live a healthy lifestyle 🙂
The choice is yours to make, here is to healthy living!

Last year’s tree was adorned with handmade decorations like little paper trees, photos and yes, paper stockings. Below is one of the many photos we have put up the tree:
These handmade decorations were tied with a silver cord.
Have a great weekend and I hope we don’t get tied down with a lot of stress and negative things 🙂
