Living Rawesome Juicing and Earcandling
I wouldn’t say that juicing and earcandling always go together but for me it did today. It all started yesterday, I went for a walk last night with Jason and my dogs. What a beautiful trip it was. Not that far into our walk, I mentioned to Jason that I wanted to do a juice fast. Of course, he is always supportive and he agreed that I should do it. So I kept it in the back of my mind as we chatted about our future and all our dreams. When I returned home I checked my text messages and there was one from Destiny. It said, “Wanna do a juice fast tomorrow?” So there it was CONFIRMATION. Just what I needed to make my decision. We decided to do blended drinks and juices.
We started this morning with a cucumber and cantaloupe smoothie. We shared a watermelon, lemon and cucumber smoothie. We both love ice!! We put about 20 ice cubes into the smoothie. How refreshing it is in the summer months to share seasonal fruit with friends. We managed to hold out on solid food until dinner. Which wasn’t bad for us. It is better to be prepared when doing a juice or blended fast. We did it on the spur of the moment decision, next time we will buy the veggies and fruits we need to make it the whole day.
I finally got to help with earcandling. I have never done it before. I was excited to be a part of my boss’s session:) Rich was feeling as if he had water in his ear. Nothing seemed to be helping until he did the earcandle. It was a beautiful day outside, so we went outside. I tried to talk him into staying inside to show the customers. I am sure the customers would have loved to see the demo, but he didn’t feel the same about my idea. I have always been skeptical about ear candles. We sell so many of them at the store. Many customers come several times a month to purchase them. We used a paper plate instead of a aluminum pie plate like the directions say. I was very nervous, but it worked. He didn’t get burned. It only took about 10 minutes to burn the candle to the bottom. He did two of them and after he felt much better:)
My advice is to never do it alone, and just like anything else, it’s always better with friends.
When the candles burned down we opened them up to see if anything came out and we noticed only a little bit. After viewing many sites online, I still question if what came out is actually ear wax or if it is actually the candle. No matter what though, he did feel better after the ear candling.
