A new semester brings new goals, or as I like to call them, “euphoric changes.” Euphoric changes are the changes you look forward to making because they simply please you. These may include actually purchasing a cute planner, finding new music, cutting back on the coffee or drinking MORE coffee and maybe laying low on TNS. One euphoric change that collegiettes should try to tap into is our knowledge of nutrients and using food to heal! The next time you’re feeling under the weather or groggy, sick or tired, cure yourself with home remedies!
Food is our most precious fuel and medicine. We can use herbs and spices for a variety of solutions. Follow this short list and stock your cabinets for the perfect start-of-semester energy!
