Welcome! I’m Jerilee, and this will be my home online for the next few years. Remember, you’re more than welcome to visit whenever you’d like!

I have a passion for meaningful (or sometimes just fun) quotes that I find online. I don’t know what it is about them, and a lot of my friends say that I have a corny personality — but if that’s it then so be it! I’m not just into quotes that I find online, though. I actually carry around a little notebook specifically for quotes that I like. If you ever see me scribbling to myself, that’s no diary I’m keeping — I’m most likely writing down something that you said! Words are very important, and being articulate with them is a true gift. I won’t say that I have that talent, but those who do should be recognized. Hopefully that’s part of what I’ll do here.

I consider myself a pretty healthy person. I’ve recently gotten more and more into vitamins and supplements, and have begun to experiment with different alternative treatments for various ailments that may come over me. I’m not saying I’m going to avoid the doctor — I’m not that drastic! — just that next time my head hurts, I prefer to brew a cup of hot tea and light an aromatic candle then pop an aspirin. Sometimes it’s hard not to turn to the Western quick-fixes, because they’re just so convenient, but I’ve made a personal decision to begin to treat my body the way that it deserves to be treated — and by that, I mean with love! Sure, it’d be easier to take a pill, but why should I take the easy way out when the natural route is possibly more effective, healthier in the long run, and lacking of any bothersome side effects? There’s absolutely no reason that I should.

Anyway, I invite you to have a look around my blog. Enjoy your stay!

Feeling low and too lazy to take your body off the bed? Perhaps this scenario is very common to most individuals right now. Sedentary lifestyles are on of the reasons why there are a lot of people whoa re not healthy. If you want to enjoy life more, you can’t just eat all that you want and maintain an idle lifestyle. Burn that fat and start to wiggle; hype up and get the energy you need for the day.

We were born to be physically active. All of our body parts depend on what we take in (such as food ) that gives us nourishment, along with what we do with it (exercise) which will help our organs maintain equilibrium.

Exercise maintains good blood circulation, increases heart strength, improves lung capacity, and enhances blood oxygen levels. These are just few of the positive things that  can result from exercise. If you exercise regularly,you will prevent undesirable physical conditions.

Though current trends have made things easier for all of us and high-tech things have reduced our need to do more physically, we still need to take care of our bodies and them them alive and active. There are a variety of exercise routines you can choose from. If you love dancing, you can incorporate it into your routine and have it be a regular exercise. Dancing is a very popular physical activity which isn’t merely for enjoyment, but will also provide you with a good exercise routine. Yoga is becoming one of the most popular exercise options, especially for those wanting to have more delicate and rejuvenating workouts. Aerobics can be a good option too, because it is an all-time-favorite for individuals of all ages.

There are so many exercises and workout options you can choose from. You can replace one with another if you think you need a more exciting one. The most important thing is that you exercise regularly.

Maintaining a healthy habit can be such a challenge especially when you are engaged with so many commitments and you feel like there is no time to carefully plan out a very healthy lifestyle. But keeping a healthy habit doesn’t have to be such a trouble. All you need is to have the will to start one good habit then things will follow.

One of the most important parts in maintaining a healthy habit is by monitoring your diet and nutrition. Focusing on your diet doesn’t mean not eating at all or simply skipping meals. In fact, staying healthy requires adequate intake of food. There are just some things worthy of note when planning out a healthy diet, here they are:

1. Small Frequent Meals – Contrary to common knowledge that skipping meals makes you lose weight, it actually renders more tendency of gaining weight especially if you are unable to control your food intake. When you restraint yourself from eating on a certain meal, you tend to get more hungry then tempting you to eat more. While eating regularly with moderation keeps your metabolism active thus preventing fat storage in your body. Practice eating on time and stop skipping meals.

2. Eat right – There is what we call the food pyramid providing the type and amount of food you need to regularly eat to be healthy. Eating enough carbohydrates, more fruits and vegetables and enough meat and oil will keep your diet in the right track.

3. Choose natural, fresh and a variety of foods – Skip preservatives and choose fresh, natural kind of foods rich in nutrients and vitamins. Eating a variety of foods also offers the nourishment your body needs.

All these can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Stick to these healthy habits and you will surely get the ideal weight you want.

I was in my mid teens when my mom had surgery done on both her legs for varicose veins.  Before she decided to have them operated on, I remember, how large and blue they were, protruding on each leg around and along her shin bones.  I remember it well.

Like Mother Like Daughter

I’d been experiencing leg cramps and swelling off and on for a while now, being +40 and running after grandchildren, I overlooked the bouts of pain and swelling for being anything but just that caused from running and playing with the grandchildren.  And figured climbing the fourteen stairs numerous times during the day was partly responsible for the problem lasting for days, sometimes weeks.  Well, that was until I looked down at my legs and could see areas where my veins were beginning to show and even stick out.  It brought to mind my mother’s legs.  Unlike my mom, however, surgery isn’t an option for me, no matter how ugly or bad they may become.  I’m not a fan of conventional medicine at all.

Anyway, I knew I had to do something for my legs and myself.  I used the internet and found that varicose veins and spider veins can be hereditary.  Uh oh!  So I started searching for natural products.  There are hundreds of natural products claiming they could relieve leg cramps, swelling, and unsightly varicose and spider veins.  Believe me when I tell you I was overwhelmed.  I chose VariDerm from the all natural products I searched.

Trying Out VariDerm

VariDerm had the highest level and amount of ingredients above any other.  I wasn’t ending up with my mom’s legs and was going to fight it with the strongest weapon possible.  What I didn’t realize at the time, was just how strong a weapon, it was.

Here's to being able to wear shorts again!

It just so happened when the products arrived, I was having a bout of leg pain, and I popped two capsules as soon as I could get the package opened.  I purchased VariDerm’s progressive package which came with cream.  I don’t know what I was expecting of this product, or as to why I immediately started taking it, but I took two capsules that night too.  I do know one thing.  The next day it didn’t hurt so bad climbing those stairs.

I took six capsules a day and I used the cream daily and after just three days of starting VariDerm, I didn’t have any pain, cramping or swelling at all.  And after about a week, the blueness I’d seen coming from my legs that scared me, were nearly gone.

It Works!

I’ve been using VariDerm for about six months now and I can honestly say I haven’t had any bouts at all with my legs.  I even play more with my grandchildren.  There aren’t any blue lines appearing on my legs or anywhere.  VariDerm was definitely the right choice and the best solution for my problem.

I even recommended it to my sister-in-law a few months back and am trying to get her to tell her story.  Her legs were nearly as bad as my moms.  After just a few months, she can’t hardly recognize them now herself.  This summer was the first time we have seen her in shorts in a very, very long time.

I ordered my Variderm off of http://variderm.com. I don’t know if you can order it anywhere else, but I’m pretty sure that’s the product’s official website so I would trust it the most. I got a great deal there.
