Building My Home Apothecary
I started writing this the other day. I had a great introduction and was really getting somewhere with my content, and my computer died before I could save my work. So, now I'm having to start over, and I don't remember what I had written. So, if you're reading this and you're like, "Dang, this blog sucks..", just know that it was better before, and I apologize.

Easy Tricks to a Healthier, More Natural Lifestyle
If you are like most Americans, it can be hard to put the time into eating healthy, and making it to the gym regularly. The average choices for food are not really healthy portions, and tend to be loaded with fat, sugar, and carbs that blow you up like a balloon overnight. But, what can you do without taking too much time from your work schedule and falling behind on your bills? It is almost irresistible to stop for a pizza, or to make a quick run through the drive-thru when you are hungry and on the go.

Is ASMR Beneficial for Our Health?
An Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is where a person experiences a static-like tingling sensation. This usually begins across the skull or neck and cam move throughout the body. ASMR is an unexplored topic in an emerging community that recently started to catch science’s attention. There have been numerous reviews on multiple forums about this particular topic and the findings are peculiar. In 2010, a Facebook group created by Jennifer Allen brought together many followers of this phenomenon that haven’t found a specific word to express what they were feeling. The group has grown exponentially since then. In the following paragraphs I will explain in more detail what ASMR is about, its benefits, and I will share my personal experience with it.

Getting the Most Out of Your Perfect Night's Sleep
So, you’ve finally worked out your schedule so that you’re, for the most part, getting the recommended eight hours of sleep per night. Which is great, but it seems like just tacking on an hour or two of Zs isn’t really helping. Maybe you’re tossing and turning all night, too focused on worrying about the day ahead to doze off. Or perhaps you get to sleep fine, but clawing your way out of bed at the chime of your alarm is harder than ever. Regardless of your sleeping woe, you probably have room for improvement where your sleep quality is concerned. Read on to learn how you can get the most out of the eight hours you’ve got.

Happy Valversary to Me!
Happy Valvesary to me! I can't believe it has been almost a year since I got my brand spanking new mechanical aortic heart valve. Last May, I had open heart surgery. I did have aortic stenosis, a condition I had from birth. This is a disease where the aortic valve has two leaves as opposed to the normal three, and over time the valve closes up. Not the best situation one can find themselves in. I had surgery in my early teens where a balloon was used through a catheter to open the valve. At that time it was called a balloon dilatation. It did the trick for a few years.

Chemotherapy
When I got diagnosed with cancer, I didn’t have a choice when it came to chemotherapy. I already had a large tumor in my femur and it was very important to make sure nothing else was growing. Fortunately, my first experience with chemotherapy was a breeze. And when I say breeze, I mean that I was able to get my infusion, let it do its job, and then flush it out of my system. I hated having that stuff in my body and followed all my directions to get the process over with sooner than later.
