'You might be surprised at the how simple it can be to improve your everyday wellness. I was surprised at how much better I have felt in the past few months (sans a disappointing three-week illness, but that was out of the ordinary), thanks to making a few health changes. Of course, the problem with “simple” tips is that they are often easier to read than to implement, since many of them require you to change your habits.

'We planted our first in-the-ground vegetable garden this year. When we moved into our new house, we were so excited to get some vegetables growing on the property. The previous person who lived here owned a nursery, so there are a whole bunch of beautiful plants and flowering shrubs all around the property. There is ALWAYS something blooming and I have a hunch that he timed it that way.

'I love iced tea in the summer time. I rarely drink it during the other three seasons, but from June – August, I can’t seem to drink enough freshly made iced tea. My husband and I got hooked on store bought iced tea years ago, but it was loaded with sugar and at the rate we were drinking it, the tea cut into our food budget. At an average of $2.00 a gallon, the cost adds up when you drink a couple of gallons a week.
