Junk Food Chaos- My Journey

 Blood work BAD! I have high cholesterol, A1C (pre-diabetic) and high Triglycerides. Whew, guess it's time for a lifestyle change! I started with healthy lifestyle eating a couple of months ago and I have to say....I am actually loving it! The food is GREAT! Bonus, I have lost 10 pounds! Surely my high everything has come down but that is pending on my next blood work.  This is how I am doing it: I'm a coffee addict...all day drinker.

How to Replicate Succulents

Stem Cuttings: Best for succulents with long stems like jade plants. Offsets (Pups): Ideal for succulents like aloe or hen and chicks, which naturally produce baby plants. 2. Remove the Cutting or Offset For Leaves: Gently twist off a healthy, plump leaf from the stem, ensuring a clean break. For Stem Cuttings: Use sharp, sterile scissors to cut a 3–5-inch section of a healthy stem. For Offsets: Gently separate the baby plant from the mother plant using your hands or a clean knife. 3. Let the Cuttings Dry Place your cuttings or offsets in a dry, shaded area for 1–3 days (until the cut ends callous over). This step prevents rot when planted. 4. Plant in Well-Draining Soil Use a succulent or cactus mix or c...
