We've got news! Do you know what shop talk is? Most of you probably do and in whatever work field you are in, there is probably shop talk going around. We live in a society though that doesn't do a lot of shop talk anymore. We are online, even at our workplaces! So, my sister, Rachael, created a monthly space for us to have Shop Talk. She is the one who encouraged (I mean told me) to get a Young Living essential oils kit and I did. It changed the way I look and health and wellness. It really was my gateway drug how chickens are the gateway drug to getting sheep or goats or gardening or a baby cow. Take your pick. Here's the deal, we want you to join us for Shop Talk. Bring your questions, thoughts and just conversation and every month we'll be talking about what you want to talk about in regards to your health and wellness. We are big on preventative help and no we aren't doctors, but we are mom's, wives, sisters, cousins, and friends that have a WEALTH of information that can help you. We did our first Shop Talk on the 17th and if you 
missed it, that was my fault and I'm so sorry because it was soooooo good. Rachael shared how our monthly cycles can tell us what we are missing in our bodies. Catch the replay here: Shop TalkOur next Shop Talk will be March 17th, 5pm MT doors open and "shop talk" 5:30pm MT will start a discussion topic that you all have said you want to talk about. This is going to be amazing!
Speaking of our cycles and our health "down there", wanted to jump in and talk about something that happened to me, that has NEVER happened to me before. I got a UTI for the first time in my entire life. I know shocking as most women experience them quite frequently. So, what did I do? Recommendations are that you drink plenty of water, grab some OTC meds and drink some cranberry juice. In severe cases you have to take antibiotics. Well, if you know me, you know that I immediately went to my essential oil desk reference. Antibiotics can destroy your gut and then it takes a hot second to build back up your microbio in your gut. I set to work and in a couple of weeks was feeling much better. Hot compress over the lower abdomen with castor oil, tea tree, frankincense, lemon, and myrrh. That corn sack was my best friend! I did hot baths 
with epsom salts and baking soda. Of course lots of water and extra ningxia red helped to boost my immune system as well. I also had deep relief on hand to roll on my lower abdomen when it was super uncomfortable. The last thing I did was start drinking dandelion root tree as my first hot drink in the morning. I love my hot coffee because it's cold here in the mornings, but I had read that caffeine can hinder the healing, so I knew I had to cut back. It probably has been the best thing for me as it made me cut back even more through out the day. The last recommendation, of course, is sleep. Your body is fighting of an infection and when that is happening you have to slow down. Most of us are driven people and want to get as much done through out the day as possible, but when we're sick, we have to rest to get better quickly.
