Natural Writer #1: Allergy remedy

*sigh* Due to legal stuffs I get to do a disclaimer since this is the first thing to be posted. 
Ahem…

Disclaimer: Due to my personal diet (AKA body chemistry) I cannot promise that any remedy given will work to the same capacity it did for me.
*dusts hands* Okay, onward to the blend that saved my liver.

Backstory: I have had really bad allergies since I can remember. On top of having hay fever I’m also deathly allergic to pet dander. I was taking two 12 hr allegra decongestants per day every day. When I tried to do the 24 hr it never cleared my nasal passage up enough for me to breathe or eat. Every single year I would get a nasal infection that had so many things on top of it the doctor had to refer to the med school pharmacy books to get me the right medicine to knock them all out. So that means I was taking one too many antibiotics yearly. Going natural was something I knew I had to give a shot since side effects could possibly shorten my life if I stayed on them.

Playing around with Doterra oils to make a specific blend made my lungs sound so much better that my doctor was thoroughly baffled. This is how I did it.

Fantasy recommendation


Okay, while we are all on the “New Year” phase of making resolutions and so forth I will add my two cents. We writers often start a new year off with the vow that we will finish our book. We write the goal number count on a calendar, set a deadline for the first draft, and restock the kitchen with our caffeine drug/poison of choice. Odd thing is, we proudly boast such things but some genres we come across in writing confuse us.

Never fear, fellow writers. As per my goal for 2015, I will pass along tips and the names of writing books that I will use this year and can’t imagine my library without. Since this writer is still teary-eyed over the deaths of a few dwarves (“Why must my favorite characters in stories all ways die?”) January is Fantasy month. Without further ado, I present my Fantasy lifeline.
