Blissful Sleep

t’s dark, you’re tired, and you are longing for sleep, but it’s 2 a.m. and you’re out of bed roaming the house wondering when the night will be over. It’s time to get a good night’s sleep.

There are a lot of components that work together for good sleep. Let’s look at a few of them.

1

You sleep better in the dark.

Make sure all lights are off and you have heavy curtains or blinds on the window.

2

Bright lights in the evening wake you up. Stop watching your screens at least an hour or more before bedtime. Or, switch your device’s screen to night mode.

3

Carbohydrates can wake you up in the evening. No sweets, popcorn, chips, etc., after finishing supper.

4

You wake up multiple times in the night to go to the bathroom. This might be a lowgrade urinary tract infection for women or an enlarged prostate for men. Either way, we have great herbs and supplements to help with these issues.

5

918 12th Street • Hood River

Swollen nasal passages interrupt sleep. Try one of our nasal sprays to reduce swelling and help with nighttime breathing.

Let’s say you are doing all the right things but still aren’t sleeping well. What next?

541.386.7328

Melatonin is a good place to begin. Our bodies produce melatonin, but sometimes we don’t make as much as we need.

Our bestselling melatonin is ‘Time Released,’ which means it helps both with falling asleep and staying asleep.

Other things that help with sleep are herbs, minerals and amino acids. NightRest with Melatonin and Power to Sleep are two formulas that combine these components that work together to release stress, muscle tension and anxiety.

If stress is what is keeping you awake, Cortisol Manager by Integrative Therapeutics is a professional herbal blend that reduces cortisol and relaxes the mind to help you fall into the deep sleep for which you are longing. Another great blend for stress, anxiety and more severe insomnia is Irwin Natural’s CBD + Power to Sleep.

It combines herbs, melatonin and CBD to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Don’t give up on getting a good night’s sleep. Stop by our store and talk with us to see what might work best for you.

MONEY MATTERS

SPONSORED BY LEE McPHERSON, EDWARD JONES

documents may include a will, a living trust, financial power of attorney, health care power of attorney and possibly other arrangements.

At a minimum, you’d like to give a general overview of what these documents mean, but at an initial family meeting, you don’t necessarily have to get too detailed. For example, you might not want to talk about specific inheritances. This is also an opportunity to inform your loved ones of the professionals involved in your estate plans, such as your attorney and your tax advisor.

Roles of everyone involved

Family Matters Consider a meeting to discuss estate plans

A

t some point, you’ll want to share your estate plans with your loved ones — and the first step in this process may be to hold a family meeting.

The best time to hold this meeting is when you’re still in good mental and physical shape, and the enactment of your estate plans may well be years away. But what topics should you cover?

Consider these main areas: Your wishes — and those of your family Use this meeting to introduce your estate plans and, in a basic sense, what you hope to accomplish with them — leave money to your family, support charitable groups and so on. You’ll want to emphasize that you want to be equitable in what you leave behind, but there may be issues that affect this decision, such as disparities in income between grown children or an allowance for a special-needs child. But you’ll also want to listen to what your family members want — and you might be surprised at what they tell you. Consider this: More than 80% of the millennial generation would rather know their parents are financially secure throughout their retirement, even if this means that their parents will pass on less money to them, according to an Edward Jones/Age Wave study.

Estate planning documents At the time of your family meeting, you may or may not have already created your estate planning documents, but in either case, this would be a good time to discuss them. These

Not only does a comprehensive estate plan involve moving parts, such as the necessary documents, but it also includes actual human beings who may need to take on different roles.

You will need an executor for your will and, if you have a living trust, you’ll need a trustee.

Even if you choose to serve as the initial trustee, you’ll still need to identify one or more successor trustees to take your place if you become incapacitated, or upon your death. Plus, you’ll need to name people to act as your power of attorney for health care and finances. Choosing the right people for these roles involves thought and sensitivity. Obviously, you want individuals who are competent and reliable, but you also need to be aware that some family members could feel slighted if others are assigned roles they feel they could do. By being aware of these possible conflicts, you can be better prepared to address them.

Here’s one more suggestion: Let your family know that this initial meeting doesn’t mean the end of communications about your estate plans. Encourage your loved ones to contact you with questions whenever they want. You may need to hold additional family meetings in the future, but by laying the initial groundwork, you will have taken a big first step in establishing the legacy you’d like to leave.

Recipe cour tesy of www.fifteenspatulas.com/for tune-cookies

Directions  Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone mat.

Have your fortune strips ready to go.  Using stand mixer, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes, until frothy. Whip in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract and water until incorporated. Add flour and mix until flour just disappears.  With tablespoon measure, spoon batter onto parchment

paper and spread out into even 3-inch circles. Only do 2 to 3 at a time as they set quickly and you won’t be able to fold more than that.  Bake cookies 7 to 8 minutes, until edges brown slightly (see note).  When each batch finishes baking, remove from oven and quickly flip circle over. Place note in center and fold cookie in half (a semicircle).

Place semicircle onto edge of a cup, and quickly fold ends down to crimp into a fortune cookie shape. Place cookie in muffin tin to cool and hold its shape.

Repeat with remaining batter and enjoy.

You will go for dim sum and a movie with a beautiful woman.  Note: If you let them brown too much, they’ll snap when you shape them. If they don’t brown enough, they will tear.

ALSO: Experiment with food coloring, using red for Valentine’s Day.
