I’m amazed, excited, and grateful to have the opportunity to review a few diffuser necklaces.
I’ve often wondered how they work, if they’ll ruin my clothes and how long the scent will last.

Nourishing Day Facial Oil (Product Review)
You never realize how something as simple as a good face wash, your toothbrush or even your favorite pair of slippers can make a hospital stay that much more tolerable… and maybe even help to speed up your recovery.

Our Flu Fight
I’ve been a bit MIA, but with good reason.
My husband was recently hospitalized with pneumonia complications following the flu.
It’s still rather surreal.
Even after seeing all the reports in the news, I never imagined that my husband would be one of those people.

No Resolutions, Just New Goals
Whenever I think of a resolution, I often think of the documents passed by a board or governing body. I’m sure this is thanks to my years of Public Service work.
Those resolutions were documents that would be tucked away once passed. Maybe they’d be referred to a time or two throughout the year (or when they were up for renewal), but they were not on the forefront of the group’s activities.

Workout Recovery: Compression Therapy
My husband and I have histories of joint pain. We also enjoy working out as one of our dating activities, but we have to be very intentional about our recovery methods. This is where compression therapy comes in.
What is Compression Therapy?
I was thrilled to see an article recently on one of my favorite fitness apps, MyFitnessPal explaining compression therapy and its benefits. Usually, when I mention compression therapy, I get confused looks or raised eyebrows from folks. I get it though, I was unfamiliar with it until I learned of it during my last round of physical therapy.
As the article states, compression as recovery is nothing new. Many athletes already rely on compression socks and shorts after a workout, and research identifies a link between compression garments and reduced muscle soreness after sprinting and plyometrics. You can read more about the method in the full article found here.
My Newest Workout Recovery Tool: The Wuju Fitness Knee Brace
This #WujuFitnessKneeBrace won’t make you young again or cure any joint issues, but it will help to lessen your joint pain and support your knee muscles and ligaments and aid you in bending your knee.
It’s basically a knee brace used to compress the knee for sports or to solve aches and pains. It comes in 3 sizes, the color is silver/grey with a design in the knee cap. I like this more than other braces I’ve used it the past because it fits around my thigh without rolling down or bunching.
I’ve used it for the past two weeks and will be purchasing more for continued use. The fabric is lightweight, but sturdy and it could be worn during my workouts, though I prefer to save it for my compression therapy which I complete after my workouts and at various times throughout the day if I experience any muscle discomfort.
If you workout frequently, I encourage you to try compression therapy if you haven’t already. This is only one of many braces/compression sleeves to choose from, but it worked well for me!
