Fried Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes are one of my favourite snacks! I always make sure I buy a bag or two of these yummy sweet potatoes when I go to our local market. They are nutritious, healthy, good for our skin, affordable, and they have this certain sweetness on their own that I love. It's like eating candy, but much healthier. You can roast, bake, grill, steam or fry them -- depending on what you prefer -- but I like them fried. I am not talking about any regular cooking oil; I am talking about frying them in olive oil. Why? Because it makes a huge difference! It gives the sweet potatoes that beautiful orange color and gives that sweetness that I crave.

Sweet potatoes and olive oil are rich in benefits for our skin. Put these two together, and you'll make an easy healthy snack in no time! Your skin will love you for it.

All you need are:

• Sweet potatoes, cut them into fries or chips
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

Directions:

• Fry the sweet potatoes until they are a little crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste... or none at all, it is all up to your tastebuds. :)

Oh! I almost forgot! You can also add a dash of flax seeds, chia seeds or hemp seeds for added nutritional benefits. It won't alter the taste. Try them! Tell me what you think! I am craving for fried sweet potatoes now!!!

Venus and Mars: All-Natural Handmade Soap: So'ya Sach'a Wise Bran? (100% Vegan)

Interesting name of this soap! Here's how I read it: "So yeah. Such a wise bran(d)?" LOL!

So'ya Sach'a Wise Bran? (100% Vegan) 135g | Php295

Made with rich formulation of Sacha Inchi Vegan Oil, Soya Bean, Rice Oil and Rice Bran, this bar will instantly make you feel lathering your skin with lotion while bathing. Stimulates cell regeneration, fights and prevents free radical damage and aging skin, and enhance concentration of healthy glowing skin.

Venus and Mars' products are Philippine-made, natural, and the first skincare line in the country to infuse their products with emu oil.

I really love the floral packaging: simple yet eye-catching. The irregular cut of their (Venus and Mars Naturals) soaps give that nice touch as well.

This soap is made from their Sacha Inchi Oil, which I haven't tried it yet, but thankfully they created a soap out of it. I could get the same benefits of this oil while I am taking a bath. I bought this soap to give my body a lather of TLC. The smell is so delicious! It reminds me of a thick slice of fresh loaf of bread! The benefits of this soap immediately made me purchase this because it stimulates cell regeneration, fights and prevents free radical damage and aging skin, and enhance healthy glowing skin. Doesn't it make our skin feel protected from the pollution and UV rays after a long day? It makes my skin soft and supple after bath, but I never skip applying lotion to lock-in moisture.

The soap, however, doesn't have a written expiry date. :(

Purchase here.

Yoni Egg

I finally bought a yoni egg! It is my first yoni egg ever! I asked someone to hand carry it for me so I know it'll be safe. I'm in the getting-to-know phase with my yoni egg as of the moment. It is right beside me as we speak. :)

I didn't know what a yoni egg was until I listened to an hour long webinar last November 2014. The yoni egg has been around forever and women from all over the world are into it. (I think I have an idea why this wasn't introduced in our country) Months later, the idea stuck in my head, and I realised my body wanted a yoni egg. After a lot of research, I knew I want one for me.

Yoni means sacred temple in Sanskirt; also refers to a woman's vagina. It is a polished gem stone shaped as an egg. Yoni eggs dates back in ancient China as a secret practice used by women of the royal family. The yoni egg is inserted vaginally to strengthen the pelvic muscles and cleanse it energetically from negative emotions which women mostly keep in the womb. There are tons of yoni eggs available and the one suited for you depends what you are drawn to. If you are ready, feel what your body tells you to reach.

Benefits of the Yoni Egg Practice:

• Strengthens Pelvic Floor
• Awakening your passion, creative energy and libido
• Strengthening After Childbirth
• Vaginal Lubrication
• Tones Vaginal Muscles
• Spiritual Healing
• Assists with Uterine Prolapse
• Shrink Fibroids
• Assists with Weak Bladder
• Cyst Reduction
• Improves Vaginal Elasticity
• Strengthens the Muscles of Surrounding Organs
• Reduce Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
• Daily Womb Exercise

Rose Quartz | $40

(it was on sale when I bought it)

Out of all the yoni eggs, I instantly felt the Rose Quartz resonated with me while browsing at OrganicBlood.com. It is a medium sized egg and it is really beautiful and in pink. It also comes in a cute white pouch for your yoni egg. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I knew I want it so much! It was also on SALE when I bought it. It was packed in a bubble wrap to it really safe. Keep on a look out for their discount codes! I know I am.

Rose Quartz Gemstone is great for:

• Calming
• Clarity
• Vitality
• Self-Love
• Peacefulness
• Emotional Balance
• Unconditional Love
• Harmonious Spirit
• Gentle Trauma Relief
• Spiritual Enlightenment
• Rejuvenating
• Great for All Chakras
• Great for the Heart Chakra
• Taurus & Libra Sun Sign
• Vibrational #7

I don't call them as my 'babies', but as an 'ELDER' because they've been on this Earth for millions of years and I am here to learn from them.

It may sound pornographic for some, but to me, I see it as a way to heal myself. I still have these negative emotions in my womb that I want to get rid of. There is nothing embarrassing about it. Women need to reclaim their sexuality after all the years of guilt and shaming. With yoni eggs, we develop a wonderful relationship with our body and embrace our femininity because it feels good to be a woman! It is time to give LOVE to our yoni.

Here are some websites where you can read more about the yoni egg. You can also check Youtube about it too.
