Summary
This week, I'm talking to Giselle Wasfie. She's a former hip hop journalist and current Chinese-medicine practitioner (acupuncturist-herbalist). She's also the founder of the aromatherapy and beauty line REMIX by Giselle Wasfie. As I mentioned on the episode with Katrina Jane, this season I want to cover topics that sometimes have a little mystery surrounding them or lifestyles we think we know about…but might not fully understand. This is one of those episodes.
Giselle and I discuss Chinese Medicine (what it is, how it works, and why it's still not widely accepted as "real" medicine), how she knew being a journalist wasn't her career path in life, her advice on looking at past traumas in a new light, and her biggest (and easy) tip on how to deal with toxic people and negative interactions in our lives.

Giselle's Book: So Fly
Chill / Day (see recipe below!)
Stone Lotus Aromatherapy (where to buy oils)
{ Chill / DAY : Relaxation Therapy Recipe }
by Giselle Wasfie
In a spray bottle mix the following ingredients
with 2 ounces of distilled water:
20 drops of MAY CHANG
Uplifting and bright, helps keep the mood light.
10 drops of PETITGRAIN
Relieves stress.
+ 5 drops of YLANG YLANG
Sedates adrenaline and relaxes the nervous system.
Giselle's notes: I like to spray it pre-meditation or I've sold bottles to yoga teachers who use it before class for "grounding" while keeping the energy "uplifted" and flowing. I also use it in the clinic a lot (in between patients) to keep the mood upbeat and positive. Avoid using during pregnancy and avoid getting product in eyes.

| 0:50.5 | So Daily Harvest is a subscription-based service, which I admittedly was a little weird about |
| 0:56.3 | at first because I don't want to get something every week if I don't want it every week. |
| 1:01.0 | But then I actually saw their calendar system and changed my mind. |
| 1:05.8 | You really can choose the weeks that you want your smoothie delivered. |
| 1:10.3 | That means if you want them once a week, |
| 1:12.1 | once a month, every other month, you choose. So I'm currently doing once a month because I can make |

| 1:25.7 | whatever you want and you don't have to worry about |
| 1:28.3 | paying for every week if that's not what you're into. If you want to try Daily Harvest, |
