Million Dollar Housewife

I told a friend of mine several weeks ago that I just don’t believe in supplements and here I am; I just started to follow a whole supplement protocol :)

I guess that is the way it goes in life, nothing is so black or white.

I am a fan of “The body ecology diet” and I spend a fair bit of time on the body ecology diet facebook fan page where I learn valuable information from people who work closely with Donna Gates.

Heather Fougnier is one of Donna’s assistant who answers many of our questions on facebook providing us all with valuable insights.

And Heather speaks highly of “The diet Cure”.

I finally decided to take out this book from the library and carefully read through it.

In short, Julia Ross, author of this book, provides a whole basic supplement plan combined with amino acids to rebalance your body chemistry. Julia mentions that even with the best of intentions, you can still be stock in a vicious circle with food cravings and mood swings due to chemical imbalance. This short term regimen aims at rebalancing your body chemistry to help you follow and remain on a more balance diet.

Since I resonated with what Julia and Heather speaks about, I decided to give it a try.

Supplements are so expensive and I wanted to make sure that if I spent the money on these supplements, I would follow the protocol properly in order to reap all of the benefits.

But I found that these supplements took so much space on our kitchen table. It didn’t make the space look very appealing and it certainly was not very efficient either.

It is so easy and tempting to quickly give up on a routine if it gets just a little too complicated.

Having to open all the different bottles to follow the proper regimen just was not appealing to me and never has been when it comes to taking supplements.

So I resorted to find a solution to this problem.

I wanted to put all of our supplement bottles out of sight and yet still  have all of our supplements right at hand so we could easily take everything that we need to take on a daily basis.

And I came up with this awesome solution.

There are similar pill containers that you can find in drug stores but they are much smaller. They are divided per meal and even for the whole week but I just knew those containers would not work well for us.

So I thought of a similar idea but just much bigger like the one in my picture. They sell these organizers for $1.25 each at the dollar store (Dollarama).

I created one tray with all the different supplements that we need to take on an empty stomach and another tray for all of the supplements that we need to take with meals and it works like a charm. I just refill them as needed.

I love solutions like this that declutter and simplify things with a nice personal touch.

I am also grateful for my label maker which allowed me to create clear and beautiful labels that really add to the charm of this system.
