When: a couple Fridays ago // Weather: hot // Real life: work, then Shabbat dinner

A couple weeks ago I was invited to a Shabbat dinner – my first ever! I’m not Jewish, nor do I love having to make small talk with people I don’t know, but I do love Challah bread, so…worth it. I actually had a really nice time and felt quite honored that the host (a rabbi) would welcome a heathen like me to take part in her traditions. Also, did I mention the Challah bread?! This one goes out to all my Jewish readers – Shabbat shalom! (I know it’s the wrong day, but give me a break, I’m new here.)

When: June 8 // Weather: hot // Real life: work

I’m skeptical by nature. I stopped believing in Santa at age 5, stopped going to church at 16, and astrology? I never fell for that B.S. for a second. But my life-long back problems have been particularly annoying lately, and I’m getting desperate. Not desperate enough to pray or anything ridiculous like that, but desperate enough to look into non-traditional, hippie-dippie crap like acupuncture and essential oils.

I haven’t actually tried acupuncture yet, but I’m thinking about it. Anybody tried it for back pain? Love? Hate? Give me the scoop. I did try essential oils though, and I was pleasantly surprised (freaked out almost) at how quickly they worked. I used peppermint and lavender EOs diluted in coconut oil and rubbed them on my back, and within 5 minutes the muscles were just as relaxed as when I take a prescription muscle relaxer! Don’t go giving me a tarot reading or anything, but I might be an aromatherapy convert.
