Unblock Your Energy

So one of my girlfriends is into new age medicine and holistic stuff. She's lived here 9 years and I think if I had to put up with the health care here for almost a decade I too, would be into new age medicine. Anyway, she is trying to get me to see her "doctor" who supposedly solves anything and unblocks energy. All of that sounds super positive and awesome; until she told me she had to keep a food diary and is not allowed to eat dairy, refined sugars, and non complex carbs ( btw she is SO skinny and she did not go to him for weight loss issues) and then she tells me besides random herbs (which are supper expensive as well) she has to consume volcanic ash daily and sometimes it makes her throw up. I would laugh if my dear friend was not paying this "doctor" $150 an hour to be given ashes that make her throw up. Since I could spend $150 A LOT better than that (like clean water and food for Haiti)- I sent her a list of some energy blockers that are alot cheaper. ( and SAFER)

1-Glee- we just got it and I love it and wish I could go back to high school and be in the show choir.

2-OPI nail polish "No Spain No Gain"- for those of us who hate red but also can't go pink in winter-this is your color.

3-last 10 min of yoga when they turn off the lights and I for one actually fall asleep.

4- caffeine does the body good as does booze in moderation.

5-bowling- love it and I will be starting a bowling league shortly

6-playing secret agents with first graders and reading their spy notebooks where they write what everyone is doing in the house. (Mom is texting and drinking a dite coak.)

7-philosophy melon daiquiri shower gel-the best

8- give blood, volunteer, send a care package to a friend, write an email to someone having a tough time, etc
