Everybody can benefit from getting their lymphatic system moving! Did you know the lymph system drains all of the waste materials produced by every cell in the body. If it gets backed up, it is like a toilet and can get clogged. When the lymphatic system is flushed properly by drinking enough water, manual stimulation or gentle exercise, it prevents this from happening.
I have ADHD, and when it's time for bed, my brain sometimes goes on adventures and sidequests I have zero control over. It starts planning funeral speeches that hopefully won't be relevant in the next 40 years. At the same time, it is planning to build a new dining table from scratch, while looping the chorus, and ONLY the chorus, from "Nightfever" by the BeeGees.As you may understand, I have to be really strict with my bedtime routine. Through a lifetime of trial and error, I have learned what works and what does not work. Sometimes white noise is a lifesaver, other times my brain turns it into a clubmix. However, when I create a calming atmosphere around me, and I have a few different tools on hand, to help me unwind, I can fall asleep within a reasonable time every night. I hope you can find something to help you here! 🔗 ***In some of the descriptions I have linked to research papers, to help you gain some knowledge about your sleep.***🔗

When you go through any kind of cancer treatment, your skin will go through changes. This is what helped me keep moisturized and helped my skin barrier stay healthy!
This one is near and dear to my heart. In 2023 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge shock for all of us, especially when it has never ran in the family. There is not a lot of time to process a diagnosis like this, and treatment has to be done FAST. My mom was given the choice to go through chemo, where there was no guarantee it would destroy all the cancer, or to have a double mastectomy. She chose the mastectomy. I cannot say that I know exactly how she felt, but I know it was a really dark time for her. She had a hard time accepting she was losing her breasts and she felt like a piece of her womanhood was about to be taken from her. It was so important for me to give her as much love and support during this time for her. I am so thankful to say, she is doing so much better and was able to have a reconstructive surgery. I tried my best to provide her with items that were helpful after her surgery (for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery). These were items that my mother told me were her favorite and we would love to share her favorites as it might help someone else navigating this journey. If you or someone you know is battling breast cancer, I just want to say I am praying for you!

As A Caregiver to my Mom, this list is some of the things I have learned that help me get through everyday. She has dementia and has live with with for over 2 years. Elder safety is something I learned as time went by. The Security Cameras not only give me the ability to keep an eye on her while doing chores around the house but also give me the ability to escape to a private space and take a breath without having to worry as much about her. The door alarms would be my second favorite item I use. Most of the time she is just going out to sit on the porch but once in awhile she tries to wander farther away. when I hear the door alarm if I can't ran right to the door I can quickly check the cameras and see that she's Ok. I hope you find this list helpful and I will keep adding to it.
As a mom/wife/probs the oldest one in my cohort—going into her 2nd semester of the traditional BSN program; these are the things I’ve used/use/LURRRVVVVVV.
Let’s be real—the program itself and unpaid clinicals already cost so much money (and time)—so if I’m listing something pricey—it’s because I truly believe it’s something that’s helped and that I love so far in the program.
Alrrrright everybody smile on, “FIGHT OR FLIGHT!!!!!” **snaps picture** 🤣😭💀

What you eat is VITAL to how you feel—in fact, your overall health is impacted 80% by food!

I’ve made this list (and will continuously add to it) so that it’s easy to make the right decision every single day!
