In this episode, Kimberly talks about The Calorie Myth and how it is a little bit true and false. All calories are not created equal, and neither is how we digest them! This is something Kimberly has worked into her Beauty Detox Lifestyle, so you do not have to be stuck counting calories. Kimberly and Tony explore talking about different diet trends and how you could be sabotaging your weightless without even knowing it!
Next, Kimberly interviews Charlynn Avery, an Aromatherapist and Educator for Aura Cacia. They discuss how essential oils and aromatherapy can help with everything from food cravings, stress, cramps and even a good night's sleep. Charlynn shares in-depth knowledge on what specific oils can do for you as well as recipes and ways to use them. Kimberly and Avery talk about her career practicing and teaching in the arena of holistic health and wellness and how you can apply practical aromatherapy tips into your daily life.

To use this on the go just add about ten drops of peppermint oil to an ounce of water in a little mixture bottle and you shake it up each time before you spray it but then you spray it around. You want to breathe it in before meal times or before you go to a party and if you are hitting an event or a gathering that is a holiday thing, that mint has a holiday aroma association as well so you can contribute a little fresh aroma space you're in.
