Day 6: Weird Schedules but still time for Saturday Outings.

Evan had to work the night shift Saturday into Sunday. This definitely throws off our schedules- sleeping and eating. I had a few errands to run for camp. A beautiful 67 degree, sunny day we drove up to the very north west part of Queens. This turned out to be quite the adventure. We love exploring parts of New York we would normally not visit. This includes eating at a popular restaurant in the area. The area was extremely interesting- it was a Mexican/Korean/Chinese populated area. We found an awesome authentic Thai restaurant, Zagat rated so we had high hopes. It surely did not disappoint.

Honestly eating healthy gets easier everyday. When you plan its even better. I feel good, I have more energy, and I sleep better at night. My stomach issues are gone, my hives are gone and my throat hasn't closed. Evan even said he feels better even though he adds a few things here and there- He has been a trooper! 









SriPraPhai Delicious Traditional Thai Cooking. 





I got a Red Curry. I tried to stay as Paleo as possible, but nobody is perfect right? Red Curry in coconut milk, chicken, fresh basil, onions, and red peppers. There were no grains, dairy, or vegetable oils used. SO GOOD. 
I cleaned the bowl! 


Fun little outing for errands but it took forever and a day to get home because of traffic. BIG SURPRISE. On days Evan works at night we both sleep most of the afternoon. When we got home from our adventure and sitting in traffic it was nap time. Evan usually sleeps until about 6pm, eats and then goes to work. No recipes today, because we have a lot of leftovers from the week. 

Our district held a women's conference. Who doesn't love workshops and classes on everyday life, like organizing your home and eating healthy? Women love getting together to share little tips and tricks- therefore I love Relief Society. 


Here are some things that were good refreshers on healthy eating: 
Artificial Sweeteners- 
Sugar substitutes are horrible for you. If you thought Diet Coke was a better than the regular Coke you are wrong. And yes I still love Diet Coke in the back of my mind. I'm guilty. 
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic and can also be linked to CANCER.
Honey, Dates, Natural Maple Syrup are great replacements for sugar. 

When Evan works nights I end my day with a hot DETOX Bath. It's relaxing and our bodies have toxins galore. 

1 cup Cider Vinegar 
2 Cups Epsom Salt or Sea Salt 
Sit and soak for 25-30 minutes 

There are so many ways to use DoTerra Oils. I am a firm believer! If you're getting sick, there is nothing I love more than I hot bath to cure my ailments. 
I use Melaleuca oil also known as Tree Oil to cure my many skin issues; hives, eczema, heat rash, cuts etc.
