Did you know that pineapple is nature’s cough medicine?
All opinions are from my own experience. This is not medical advice. Please consult with your doctor for more information. One winter, a few years ago, my children came down with winter colds.

Healing Crystals
One of the most interesting things that I’ve studied during the past few years are gemstone crystals. Hearing about them over the years from my Dad inspired me to start making jewelry with them. After I began seeing the healing properties associated with different gemstones, I started researching about them. You can use different crystals to alleviate different issues and during pregnancy, they can be used to better the body and mind. I found @wherejunipergrows on Instagram and started browsing her website www.wherejunipergrows.com to get a few crystals for this pregnancy. I ended up choosing the following: Amber This crystal is great for reducing the muscle cramps sometimes associated with…
