I’ve been feeling a bit off since last month. I’ve always had a feeling of bloatedness specially after meals. It feels like I couldn’t digest the food and I’m having a lot of gas.

I asked my brother, who is a doctor, about it and he said that I might have gallstones and offered to remove it before I experience some pain. Isn’t he such a thoughtful brother?? At least he told me, unlike when he removed my appendix and I just found out about it when he handed me the bottle containing my appendix. Gee, thanks.

Anyway, before he could slice me up, I’m planning to remove these gallstones by cleansing it naturally. I found these procedure which cleanses the gallstones away.

  • For the first five days, drink at least four glasses of apple juice every day. Freshly squeezed or packaged apple juice are both okay. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.
  • On the sixth day, take no dinner. (But take breakfast and lunch as usual and ok to drink water or other light fluids at night, but not, for example, a hearty soup.)
  • At 6 pm, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.
  • At 8 pm, repeat the same. Epsom salt or magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
  • At 10 pm, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage. You may have a diarrhea during this final step to remove gallstones naturally.
  • After this, sleep or at least lie down and rest. Do not engage in physical activity.
  • The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools.

I’m planning to do this on April 23rd.

I’ve never been one to choose very feminine footwear but a few weeks ago I joined Pensive Thought’s Birthday Blog Giveaway  and I won a pair of these pretty and feminine Grendha Turmalina in Gold.

I love how sexy it looked on my feet when I tried it on….

I bet it will look good in whatever outfit I pair it with…

Thus, beyond the beauty of the design, Grendha also offers a great deal of comfort and well being.

The pair above cost P1,495 if you buy it on their stores.

I was addicted to lip balm when I was in college. Well, one reason was because I always had chapped lips. I don’t know what happened but it just disappeared one day but is now making a comeback.

Last weekend, when we went to Baguio, I forgot to bring my lip balm. You know how cold it is there. It made my already chapped lips even more dry. So when I saw this lip balm at one of the shelves at the Commissary in John Hay I just had to buy it.

I love the smell of coconut. Imagine how giddy I felt when I opened this pot. It smelled so yummy!

This lip balm is made with linseed oil, coconut oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, lanolin, shea butter, and “fragrance.”

Shea butter is one of the best ingredients  to see in a lip balm because it makes your lips really soft. Plus it is one of the most environmentally friendly, pro-earth, totally natural products I know.

What I love about this product:

It’s smells amazing and it’s sweet.

Its gentle and glides smoothly.

If you have chapped lips, it will heal overnight.

It’s small, it fits into your coin purse or pocket.

Oh, and this product comes with a warning at the back of the tag in the package…

WARNING: Be careful not to over-use, your lips might turn into a plump juicy-licious treat you could just get bitten!
