Breast Lift, and Stretch Marks Removed

Horsetail is good for:

Skin wrinkles and stretch marks, produced by ageing, obesity or sudden weight loss, pregnancy, muscular tension, etc., it improves skin appearance, and gives it a smooth elastic appearance, both taken orally and applied in problem area as compresses.
Fragil nails,
Breast flaccidity, when applied as compresses on the breast, it strengthens and tones the tissues. This effects is improved when also taking a decoction (as a tea).
Varicose uclerations ,
Osteoporosis, and more.


Horsetail is rich in silicon, a trace element which promotes regeneration of skin bone tissues. Compresses soaked in a horsetail decoction are useful for cellulitis or obesity, since they improve skin flaccidity, giving it a smooth, elastic appearance.

When the horsetail is applied as a compress, a decoction of horsetail gives strength to breast tissues. This action is improved when ingesting the liquid of this decoction.

The horsetail can be applied two ways, internally (drink in tea form) and two externally. Apply tea in a gauze or thin towel to target area. Please feel free to leave a comment or question.

Healthy on a BUDGET

People are always saying how expensive it is to eat healthy. Well there might be some truth to that, but aren't you worth it. You are the only you, you got. However, there is a solution on eating healthy on a budget and it is my previledge to share some options and tips with you.

Keep it simple the more you stick to eating simple the less money you will spend. Many times we go grocery shopping we by items that we don't really need, that we can do without, or are just not healthy. Instead of buying juice and sodas, stick to water, you just saved a couple of dollars there. Stay away from junk foods such as chips, cookies and pastries. Stick to buying non-name brand items. In regards to those who still eat meat buy smaller amounts and use the left over money for more fruits and vegetables. Your most expensive items usually are your produce like certain fruits and vegetables ( try buying your produce at a farmmers market if at all possiable.

I called these staple foods!
Pick food that are filling that will keep you full and not hungry in a hour or two.
Here are a list of a few food items that are inexpensive or and filling:

Oatmeal -I am not a fan of oatmeal but you can definitely make your own granola
Brown Rice
Whole wheat pastas
Can tomato Sauce
Beans (All of them)
Peas
Banana
Apples
Rasins
Whole Wheat bread or you can make your own
Potato
Carrots
Frozen Vegetables: Corn, spinach, cauliflower, etc.- If you can not afford fresh do frozen, can items are for emergency...ps. stick to buying can items w/ no salt
Un-buttered popcorn, beware of too much salt
Corn chips (optional)
