Plants To Help You Sleep Better

-

I have always had trouble sleeping and I am alway looking for natural ways to help me get to sleep. Sleeping pills (even melatonin) leave me feeling not rested at all. I have found if I can natural coax myself to sleep I sleep better and I am happier. 

I also love plants, they naturally clear the air, circulate oxygen and are beautiful to look at. I have carefully researched what plants to put in my room. All of these plants are not only beautiful but they also can help you get better sleep!




1. Aloe Vera Plant

Click HERE to purchase one of these beauties!

Aloe Vera was one of the first additions to my bedroom plants, it is also one of my favorites. It can be used for multiple purposes, not only will Aloe Vera help you get better sleep, it can also be used to help soothe inflammation, scars, and burns. 

Another interesting fact is that when there are harmful chemicals near this plant is will start to have brown spots appear on it.

Aleo Vera is a low maintenance plant, if you forget to water it for a few days, it will be just fine! It is an excellent first addition to your plant collection.

Aleo Vera helps you sleep because it omits more oxygen at night, helping you reach a deeper sleep.


2. Lavender Plant

A lavender plant is the first plant I think of when I think of something that may help me sleep. Lavender helps slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure and it helps lower stress. Most of the time these are the things preventing us from going to sleep. Lavender is also safe to use around babies and pets. 

Even though there are tons of lavender products out there, the lavender plant is the best source for these wonderful effects.


3. Snake Plant A.K.A. Mother-In-Laws Tongue

Click HERE to purchase a Snake Plant!

Snakes plants are one of the top recommended plants to improve air-quality in the home. As an added bonus, it is very easy to care for. 

It creates oxygen while it is taking in Carbon Dioxide, which makes the air around it higher quality and makes for a much better nights sleep. 


4. Bamboo Plant (Reed Palm)

To buy this, you would need to find it at a local plant nursery. 

A Reed Palm Bamboo Plant is an excellent air purifier. It will also help get rid of lingering smells.

The Bamboo Plant is from tropical origins, but it is very easy to care for. All you need to do is keep it in direct sunlight and keep the soil moist. 



I hope that these plants help you all get better sleep! Let me know if you add any of these plants to your home or if you have any advice for those of us who are just starting to add plants to our lives!

Until next time!

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
