Menstruation Kit Fundraiser

No comments
We did it! We raised $269 dollars towards the Menstruation Kit fundraiser. And although this was a small group of women who came through to support the cause. I appreciate each $1 dollar donated because in return I can start purchasing eco-friendly pads to help young girls feel empowered about their menstruation. 

With your donation, I am able to  purchase items that will be healthy for young girls to have access to such as: The Honey Pot , Get Rael, This is L, Traditional Medicinals Healthy Cycle Tea. Each item selected was hand picked to support the women who created eco friendly hygiene items here in the states, but also to support their mission in giving back to young girls across the globe, so they may continue their education. 

We as a collective (thanks to your donation) are making a conscious effort to empower our young girls to love their menstruation, become knowgeable about eco feminine hygiene products and feel supported along the way. 




Thank you for making the first purchase possible! 




Raspberry Peach Fruit Smoothie Bowl

No comments
Making a fruit smoothie is an essential way to nourish your body with vitamins and minerals. The best way to know the exact ingredients in your smoothie is to select the ingredients yourself. All you will need is a blender, fruit and a base, such as water, milk, or yogurt. You can also add a protein powder mix such as the Natures Bounty Optimal Solutions Supplement into the smoothie preparation.

In this particular video, I am working with strawberries and raspberries which contain particular antioxidants that decrease inflammation and phytonutrients that help fight disease. I am also using peaches because they provide beta carotene, potassium and vitamic C. Beta carotene helps with your vision and immune system to function properly. 



Here are the ingredients you will  need to create the smoothie from the comfort of your own home:

1 frozen banana, cut in half
1/2 cup of frozen strawberries
1/2 cup of frozen peaches
1/2 cup of low fat milk or non dairy  such as Almond non-dairy milk

Add ingredients to blender and when done you can add the following topings:
1 tablespoon of sliced almonds
3-4 slices of peaches
handful of raspberries
1 teaspoon of chia seeds

MIRA Fertility

1 comment
I have to admit staying calm during my fertility journey was sometimes a little hard with everything that was going on, but I reminded myself to stay grounded and in harmony so my WOMB wouldn't captivate too much stress and intense energy.

As you all know, I've experienced two miscarriages, but what you didn't know is how much I distance myself from my body the first time it happened. I lost track of my body literacy with my cycle, cervical mucous, ovulation and everything. FEAR really shocked my body and I isolated my very own body from myself. 

But everything was a process with my healing and regaining my reproductive knowledge because it was vital the second time around it happened to uplift my soul and body sooner than the first time. But yet, I was struggling to identify my ovulation peaks because my hormones had changed so much. And although, I did my best to track everything in my journal. I was missing a small component to help feel confident in understanding my new ovulation phases until I came across Mira Fertility .





Mira is the first and only comprehensive at-home testing device that allows women to quantitatively track major hormones and plotting continous curves to predict ovulation. 

Unlike other fertility trackers on the market, Mira Fertility analyzer is the only fertility tracker on the market that gives you actual hormone concentration levels as well as an easy to understand fertility score bases on these readings. It allows to capture fertility window before ovulation and get clear results. 

Mira is the worlds smartest, clinically proven ovulation and fertility trackers that helps you know exactly when your fertile and infertile days are through Al-powered hormones analysis. No more missed peaks or hard to read, inaccurate over the counter fertility/ovulation test. 

Mira is more than just a hormone trackers- it's an all in one fertility tracking system that automatically syncs, records and explains your fertility hormone data in a way that is easy to understand. Mira Fertility is as easy as collecting a urine sample on a disposable stick! The Mira Analyzer is optimized for home and on the go testing, keeping your fertility journey personal and discreet. 
. 

Get started with Mira
1. Press the button to turn on your Mira Analyzer. Scan the QR code that appears onthe analyzer or download the Mira app by visiting: http://mira.app.
2. Launch the Mira app and make sure Bluetooth on your phone is turned on.
3. Follow the instructions on the Mira App to pair your Mira Analyzer 
4. Press the Analyzer button to confirm the connection



5. Immerse the Mira Fertility test wand into urine for 10 seconds. Please use the first morning urine or limit flued intake for two hours before test. (p.s. the cup in the picture is filled with a little water just to show process. Remember to use your own real urine) 


6. Move the blue cap to the other end of the test wand. Push until it clicks securely into place while keeping the triangle pointing up 
7. While keeping the Analyzer on a flat surface, fully insert the test wand into the Analyzer in the direction of the triangle. Keep the Anaylyzer level and sitll while the test is in progress.
8. The test will take 10-16 mins to process. Results will automatically sync to your Mira app! 





I found this process real simple and quick. The best part is having my  analysis is linked up to my app on my phone where I can review my fertility data. Mira now plans to continue to grow their comprehensive women's health home monitoring platform to also include testing and analysis for ovarian reserve, fetal health and miscarriage, menopause and hormone balance. 

Mira also recognizes that we have health disparities for black females. Black women face higher infertility rates and are 3-4 times more likely to pass away from pregnancy complication compared to white women. This particularly troubling, especially because the majority of health care workers are women of color. Mira is aware of the existing painful disparities in healthcare and access to reproductive health and they are doing their part by providing FREE Mira starter kits to communities that need them the most. If you want to help support the movement, donate to black doulas  organization. 

My fertility journey feels a little more at ease knowing other women will be supported as well.
