My, what times. We are witnessing the Kaili Yuga, my friends - the prophesized era of warfare, Monsanto, and yes, Donald J. Trump. In a time of confusion and illusion, the tendency -- and the trap -- is to feel powerless.
Oh beating hearts, we are anything but powerless.

Water constitutes up to 55-60% of our body mass and is vital for most of the body's natural processes; these include flushing toxins, moistening oxygen for smooth breathing, transporting nutrients and maintaining the electrical charge of cells. Dehydration can occur when water content drops by as little as 2%; this causes fatigue, headaches, brain fog, digestive issues and more.
There is no other sensation like the first bite into a crisp, cold autumn apple. The snap of the skin, followed by a rush of juice and “tooth freeze” that makes you stop biting for a moment. But then you have to finish it, chewing into the sweetness until there is only a narrow core left.
Varieties of apples aren’t limited to the monster fruits you see in the grocery store. There are hundreds of antique heritage varieties, lovingly tended by orchardists who see past the lumpy, imperfect outside to uncover pure goodness and diversity.
Trying to get kids to eat healthy can sometimes seem like a chore, especially with all of the junk food that is readily available. Honestly, it can be difficult for some adults too.
Whether it’s repairing damage from the summer sun or prepping for the cold, dry winter, lots of us are thinking about keeping our hair healthy right now. I know how hard it can be to invest in new products, do weekly hair masks, and give up the styling habits that can cause damage. Fortunately, a lot of hair-health progress can be made just by working certain foods into your diet.
There is nothing quite like Pumpkin Pie; the rich earthiness of the pumpkin, the complex spices and the flaky crust are all classic elements that come together to create this delicious dessert. The almond milk adds some creaminess and the corn starch substitutes for eggs, giving the pie filling a thick consistency. I suggest topping your slice of vegan pumpkin pie with some whipped coconut cream for the full effect!

Ingredients:
1 can Pumpkin Puree (15 ounces)
One may not realize how many festivals there are that have to do with sustainable and eco-friendly living. I can almost guarantee that there is some sort of event or festival that takes place in your area (or close to it).
These festivals span all across the United States, as well as in other countries. You name it and there’s likely a festival that exists in its honor. Today I’m going to share 5 different festivals worth looking into.
Want your home to smell awesome without using perfumed aerosols and gels? Try a fragrant garden instead; sweet-smelling house and garden plants will give out a lovely fragrance and help you make a greener environment too.
Strongly Scented Blooms
Think of fragrance and nature has a bounty to offer you. Other than the very fragrant and very obvious roses, here are some more flowers that can fill your garden with sweet scents and obvious prettiness.
I love fruit. Any kind. However, the amount of fruit I’d like to eat does not match up with the amount of fruit that is healthy for anyone to consume on a daily basis. The same goes for drinking fruit juices, I’ve learned; drinking juices that are primarily fruit-based does not always bode well for the digestive system. My partner and I have gotten into a lovely routine of making our own juices, and it’s become an important part of most mornings for us.
