    Eco Kids Valentines :: Part I

    We've had the best time making valentines this year. It's really my first year doing it because it's the first year my oldest can actually help and appreciate the work that goes into it. 

    I honestly had to delve back into my childhood memories to even THINK about what a valentine looks like. I remember bags full of store bought cut out cards, pink heart candy, red hots, sweet love notes and also some snoopy and other cartoon characters. It was a fun time. 

    So, this year I decided to make bracelets and necklaces made out of kashi cereal and bakers twine - something boys would wear but girls would think is cute, too. note: I am also doing another creative valentine post TOMORROW. So stay tuned. {think glitter, foil and embossing}

    What you'll need:

    bakers twine or string, cut into 9" strings
    used paper bags {department store or grocery}, cut into squares
    scissors
    heart stamp 
    glitter ink {multiple colors}
    pen
    kashi heart to heart cereal
    hole punch

    Once you have cut the paper bags into squares, fold them in half. Then using your scissors cut them into half-heart shapes. Open it up and voila, you have a perfect shaped heart {you probably already know how to do this}. 

    Then, either draw or stamp a cute heart onto the fronts and backs. {if you don't have a stamp, just use a marker, but this takes longer}. I chose glitter colors for fun. You can even choose blue glitter ink which makes it really fun for boys. 

    Using a market or a pen {I used a white pen}, write your child's name on the heart so that the other kids know who their cute bracelet is from.

    Then, using a hole punch, punch a hole into the top of the heart.

    Next, you'll want to pull the twine through the hole. 

    Add 7-8 Kashi rings {not the little hearts} to EACH SIDE of the dangling heart. You'll have lots of twine left over on each end. This was intentional: you'll want to have enough twine to tie a BOW, not a knot. This way, each child can untie the bow and then re-tie it on their wrist to fit tightly. 

    You can also make a necklace if you want to. It can be as elaborate or simple as you want it to be.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
