Getting Stronger

Today was a good day overall. We were busy at work which is usual for a Saturday. I was in a really good mood too. I used to be a dog groomer and I still have 2 little dogs that I have groomed for years that I groom still every 6 weeks, they were groomed today. I also groom my own little dog Ruby Sue. She's a bit naughty as she was only rescued last year and was a bit neglected by her previous home as far as grooming went among other things so she's not the best behaved dog about it. She is getting somewhat better about it. I am so glad that my husband is being so good about things right now. It gives me something to look forward to when I get home from work, I LOVE that I get to come home and feel his embrace and get kisses from him.

I have had a bit of a productive day, I made cat food for my 2 little youngest kittens, Mouse and Raven. I feed them Prey Model Raw Diet and make their food every 2 weeks. It's a lot of work, but it's cheaper than high quality food and it is healthier for them as well. Little Raven is just 16 weeks old and was already getting dandruff from eating canned food so we switched her to raw last week, she took to it like a duck to water, she LOVES LOVES LOVES It and inhales pretty much everything we feed her. It is a lot of work as I mentioned before but it is so much healthier and what they are meant to eat.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and evening of snuggling on the couch with the hubby, surfing on his laptop and watching some TV. It feels great to just sit with my sweet hubby and enjoy his company. My mood has been quite a bit better today and I haven't felt down in the dumps today. I actually did my makeup this morning so that helped me feel better about myself as well. It's something I should and need to do more often, usually I just put on eye shadow and mascara. But I should definitely wear more makeup more often, it makes me feel pretty.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar?
