Relaxing Cabbage Bath

School is starting, or has probably started for many already. I go to UCLA and we do not start until the 26^th of September :) But I really want to spend these last few days I have left relaxing before my hectic life starts up again. Something that I love doing and that really works to relax oneself is a bath of course but even better a boiled cabbage bath. This is very simple and it is something I have done my entire life. Whenever I would have a bad day in school or just seem very upset my mom would boil cabbage and prepare a bath for me. I would sit there for as long as I wanted. This helped me relax and just let go of any stressful thoughts I had. However I must warn you this bath will make you very sleepy so do not do if you have homework or anything to get done after you are done taking your bath because it will not get done. You will most definitely sleep like a baby. To prepare the bath all you have to do is boil a large pot of water (it can be sink water) and add about half a cabbage to the water. Let it boil until the cabbage is loose and soft. You can then prepare your bath as you please. At your ideal temperature. Take into consideration that you will be adding the hot water and the cabbage into the bath. You then sit in the bath for as long as you please. Read a book, listen to music, take a nap, or anything that relaxes you. I personally like to just listen to music or look at a magazine. I hope you all enjoy this relaxing cabbage bath :)

Flaxseed Orange Juice Cleanse

From a very young age I have had a very delicate stomach. I am allergic to pork and I do not eat egg or drink soda because it just kills my stomach. Meaning I will be in bed for at the least a whole day with pains. I have tried many things to help my stomach become stronger. With time I have learned that the reason my stomach is so delicate is because of the times I eat and how often I eat. I am sure many of you have heard that one is supposed to eat small portions every 3 hours, something I never did until now.  I would sometimes eat a small breakfast, a small snack during the day and then not have dinner until at around 7 or 8 at night, which lead to my stomach becoming so delicate. However thanks to my amazing mother I found a solution!  Something that I love drinking that not only cleans my entire digestive system but makes my stomach feel so much more better and stronger is flax seed with natural orange juice. I try to drink this every morning before breakfast. You can buy powder flax seed at any food market or even farmers market. For the orange juice you can either freshly squeeze your own or buy natural [real] orange juice from any grocery store. It is extremely easy to make. You just get a cup of real, natural orange juice and add 2 tablespoons of flaxseed powder into the juice and mix it. Try drinking this for a month every morning. It will definitely make you feel a lot better and since it does help with your digestion it is known to help loose weight. I hope you all enjoy this drink and it helps your over all health <3

P.S. the picture shows whole flaxseed just so you know what it looks like, but you must buy the powder flaxseed which is used for this juice
