Merry Christmas to You!

The rush continues on, even though Black Friday has come and gone. During all the Christmas hubbub, be sure and take time for yourself.

Here's an easy Raw Vegan EggNog recipe you are sure to enjoy!

Raw Vegan EggNog

Ingredients:

½ cup raw almonds + 1 ½ cups filtered water, 1 ½ cups homemade raw almond milk, or purchased almond milk
2 frozen ripe bananas
1 pitted date soaked for about an hour
¼ tsp natural pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves
pinch of Celtic sea salt

Place all ingredients in your blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Add more water to achieve desired consistency.
**I just blended whole almonds with 2 cups of water as I liked the rustic consistency. But you could use homemade strained almond milk.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve immediately. YUMMO!

Now, kick back, put your feet up and enjoy the moment!

This recipe is re-published from Incredible Smoothies and Healthy Blender Recipes.

Still not quite relaxed? Then it's time step it up and pamper yourself a bit more!

Bathing in bath oils and milk

Simply pour into your bath a few tablespoon of oil - sweet almond oil is perfect - along with a few drops of lavender essential oil and a few tablespoon of milk - coconut or almond is best. That's it! Spend at least 30 minutes in the tub and you'll feel like a new person!

We've got some terrific suggestions of USA made, handcrafted items for you to select from The Artisan Group.

Valerie Guerrero and Nikki Cutro

The founder, Valerie Guerrero, and her partner, Nikki Cutro, are always available to the members, providing sage advice, as well as their support. As small business owners themselves, they clearly understand the struggles of building a brand and the importance of getting the right media exposure.

I have never been involved with such a wonderful group and have found the members to be ever so encouraging to champion one another on to greater challenges, believing we all can achieve our dreams! I have also found many truly great friends that I expect will be in my life for a very long time. To me, that speaks volumes for the type of people Valerie and Nikki choose as members.
