Yep, I'm just going to keep going. I'm on a roll today. A year ago I went up to Montana and got certified for face zoning. Nobody has really taken advantage of this amazing treatment so I would say they are so missing out. If you think "facial" you might be on the right track. However, zoning, if you haven't guessed by now, is so much more than streamline treatments. We are working on so much more here.
Face zonology focuses on imbalances and disturbances from mental formations which disturb the inner organs via the glandular system. Oh my gosh, this is an amazing finish to a back zone. Your face feels great and there has been so much released from your body. When I was finished with my week long class and had received numerous zones, my face looked amazing and I looked . . . wait for it . . . YOUNGER!!
So what I do is put you on my trusty table, play some amazing music to help you check out and I cleanse and tone your face. I do a zone and a tissue rejuvenation then I place a mask on. You get to have a nice hand massage while we wait for the mask to dry. Afterward, I take off the mask and do a aroma massage with delicious oils. Then, if that wasn't enough, I go up and distribute the oil into your hair for optimal results.
While my client is checked out, I then go to the feet and zone the face signals to seal the deal. Yep, it's pretty amazing. You just might have to check this stuff out!

Back Zoning
I just got back from Montana and got certified for back zoning. What the flip is back zoning? Well, I'll tell you. It's freaking amazing. It focuses on the imbalances and disturbances in the body from emotional formations with disturb the inner organs (that's right, the INNER ORGANS!).
It takes about an hour and you get to bliss out on my table while I work away on your back and finish off by gently massaging in yummy smelling oils that are custom blended for YOU!
Everyone, thus far, that has gotten off of my table says that they feel lighter. One client even said they felt like they were floating. How amazing can that be? Oh, and everyone of my clients says that it's BETTER than a massage. Wtf? Better?? Oh heck yeah!
Even my new friend that I got to zone up in Montana for my final exam (in front of my peers and my teacher so, yeah, I was a wee bit nervous) said that he felt amazing and loved my energy. Now, friends, that's coming from someone who got zoned in anything but ideal circumstances. Nowadays, you get soft music, dim lighting and quiet.
So, who the flip wouldn't just love on this stuff, right?

Garlic Hummus
I found this recipe on "OhSheGlows" and I fell head over heels in love! I can't believe how amazing this is. I made a triple batch and went absolutely nuts eating my brains out.
2 cups cooked chickpeas, liquid reserved and set aside
1 t kosher salt, or to taste
2 garlic cloves
1/3 cup tahini
7-8 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 T reserved chickpea liquid (or water)
4-8 drops of Tabasco sauce, to taste
Olive oil, for drizzling
Paprika, for garnish
Place all ingredients into a food processor (except the salt) and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Now add in salt gradually, stopping to taste as you go.
Scoop into a bowl and drizzle with a good quality olive oil and garnish with paprika. Makes about 2 cups and lasts for about 4-5 days in the fridge in a sealed container. Yum!

Chocolate Almond Macaroon Cookies
These are hands down my husband's favorite. He likes me to send them to him so he can put them in his freezer and ration them. Lol. Oh, and I triple this recipe because I have a big family that likes to eat of lot of food.
1 flax egg (1 T ground flax + 3 T water, mixed)
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
1/2 cup almonds ground into flour
1/2 cup sucanat
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 t baking powder
1/2 t kosher salt
2 t pure vanilla extract
2 T almond milk
1/4 cup almond butter
1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 and prepare grease a cookie sheet. Mix flax egg with water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Add wet to dry and mix well. The dough will be very, very thick, but not worry!
Stir in the chocolate chips until combined.
With wet (I usually spray them with oil), shape small balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 14-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Stop Wearing Shoes Indoors
Really? Well, I actually DON'T wear shoes much of the time anyway but that's the hippie girl coming out in me. So, when I was up in Montana and found this article, I was more thrilled than thrilled. It actually gave a really good reason for people to do what I already do. Go me! So . . . .here goes:
STOP WEARING SHOES INDOORS:
Your shoes don't just track dirt into the house, they also track in countless germs, as well as pesticides, smoke and toxins, dust mites, and allergens. One study from the University of Arizona found that the outsides of our shoes contain an average of 421,000 bacteria. So kick them off at the door.
So . . . there you have it. Take your shoes off. Leave them in the mud room, or in a basket just inside your door but DON'T track that crap into the house.
