My Happy Mother's Day Open Letter To My Late Mother 0

Dear Mom, my Sunflower!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MY QUEEN!

MY Swizzy! MY Ma G! I love you more than I can ever express! You're my best friend and I miss you everyday! Our hugs and how I would always come back for another one saying, "Okay Mom, last one" and still sneak another before leaving you! Our songs and how we would create a cool melody on the drop of a dime! Our car jams to Stevie Wonder, John P. Kee, Hezekiah Walker, The Funkadelics & Parliament! We had an amazing bonding experience in Cancun and I'm happy we got that week together! Remember I surprised you with floor seats to Stevie Wonder's Keys of Life Tour!? You had such a great time lighting up with every song! Happy I have that memory! I think and smile of the story you told me of being pregnant with me and dancing your butt off at a MC Hammer concert! You were life and the light you brought to any room will never be replaced but I'm happy to know I'm a piece of you. That smile! You inspire me and encourage me everyday! You are driving inspiration behind my natural wellness brand, business, and birthright missions to the people! An amazing mother and I couldn't think of anybody else doing a better job with an ambitious girl like me and I think I came out really good! I use many of the tools, wisdom and knowledge, resources you passed down to me and I love that! I'll keep continuing to accomplish all the things we talked about and I know you're my angel with me every step of the way being that motherly protection whenever I need it! Girl you are so beautiful and I love your spirit! I'll see you when I get there Mom! Until then keep reassuring me with your spirit pop ups cause your Gika needs them! Love you now as much as I always have and it continues to grow stronger! Gika & Swizzy Forever!

Always Your baby girl with Love,

Gika Mooonbeam!

Greening Me Down Veggie Burger [Recipe] 1

Stay rising beautiful souls! I have one of my favorite quick veggie burger gems recipes I created and I want you to try and work it well in your kitchen! This fun and tasty recipe below from the Gigi Amanata Wellness Kitchen that's great just in time for your Spring Wellness Get Right! It can be customized any way you like feel free to add or replace an ingredient with whatever your taste buds desire!
Let’s balance!

Greening Me Down Burger

-Favorite burger bun of your choice
-Living Butter Lettuce
-Organic Broccoli Floret Bunch
-Organic Leeks
-Purple Onions
---
-Organic Garlic Powder
-Organic Black Pepper
-Organic Bladderwrack Powder
-Organic Cayenne Pepper
-Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder
-Raw Hemp Seeds
-Organic Grapeseed Oil or Organic Avocado Oil

*I cooked my dish ingredients in a cast iron skillet and wok.

Cut up your desired amount of Organic Broccoli florets into the size you wish to eat, I recommend to cut very small. Move cut Organic Broccoli into a bowl and sprinkle your desired amount of Organic Bladderwrack Powder, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Cayenne Pepper, toss, and put it to the side.

Cut up your desired number of Organic Leeks strips into small square pieces. Move cut Organic Leeks into a bowl and sprinkle your desired amount of Organic Black Pepper, toss, and put to the side.

Cut up your desired amount of Purple Onion into small square pieces. Move the cut Purple Onion into a bowl and put to the side.

Heat up your selection size of oil or butter choice in your desired cooking pans, sprinkle a tsp of Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder into the warming oil or butter of each pan, gently toss to mix evenly.

Evenly distribute and toss your chopped Purple Onion into both of your warming oil or butter. Let your onions simmer alone for 3 minutes, toss periodically.

Throw your seasoned cut Organic Broccoli florets into the pan and mix to evenly coat your veggies. Spread evenly in pan, cook and mix until it's to your taste buds destination. Transfer to food container.

Throw your Organic Leeks into the pan and mix to evenly coat your veggies. Spread evenly in the pan, cook and mix until it's to your taste buds destination. Transfer to food container.

Toast buns in pans and transfer to plates to dress your burger to your liking and don't forget to pull you off a few strips of Living Butter Lettuce and top off your Greening Me Down Tower with some Raw Hemp Seeds.

GREAT JOB at making a meal prep recipe for a green filled week when maybe salads aren't doing it or you want to try something new. If you're staying away from carbs then DITCH, the buns and just wrap your chef magic Greening Me Down Tower into some strips of Living Butter Lettuce for a tasty alternative super green wrap!

Future Freedom Friday 3.10.2017 0

Future Freedom Friday 3.10.2017

We have the freedom to set up our future and our past doesn’t hinder a thing.

What an amazing feeling to have the freedom to do something. It’s an action we take for granted sometimes and goes for those things we think are a big deal and for the things we think aren’t. Taking for granted that we may wake up a morning and someone else in the world doesn’t, we overlook that and jump on the complaint bus and go for a ride or two or three if we’re feeling particularly hot about the topic. We have the freedom to learn, talk, walk, drive, eat or breathe on our own and that’s a pretty big deal. Little or big we have the freedom to give the energy to what we choose and it shapes our future and shapes our wellness ether.

“Our stable future depends on the solutions we choose during our destined freedom roadblocks.” – Giovanni Gilmore

Our creator has the master plan, has never set us up or will for failure, and we must be wise to the future callings we could have upon our life journey. What is in our cards will always be in our cards and the things that come cross are paths along the way are all intertwined to perfect that moment in time. Your moments in the environment. You could be the light and spark to someone’s life who may need help being pulled out of a dark place and seeing their full worth or you could be the survivor support to someone who went thru a similar situation. Don’t ever count out how your freedom could positively enhance your future or someone you care about and the wellness goals you have set to unfold.

First day to reclaim your freedom for future days to make better days in your best way is now. Let’s do this and there’s nothing to fear because you have the freedom and support to grab anything you set your eyes on. Maybe you want to be more knowledgeable, you want to be more active, you want to live and break something negative that runs in your family, or you want to be more conscious. Whatever you are set on know that you are free to go get it.

You could walk in your purpose and donate a million dollars to your hometown neighborhood schools, you can start your own business to fill a need and help other people at the same time, you can be the first in your neighborhood to achieve something not yet achieved or you could have two consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Charts. The possibilities are endless for your future and the freedom is yours! Take advantage and don’t take for granted your amazing future because you have light to shine!

Tag Yourself and Gigi Amanata Wellness using the hashtag #FreeFlyAndFavoredFuture for a feature on our Instagram or Twitter or Facebook page! Show me what steps your taking to set a firm foundation for your future wellness steps and how this Freedom Friday your future is worth it all. You could be the encouragement another beautiful soul on their wellness journey needs. 

I love having the freedom to set my wellness future up right with things I can incorporate into any of my favorite recipes, fruits, vegetables, and meal plans like some of my favorites Organic Moringa Leaf Powder, Organic Lemon Powder, Organic Apple Powder, and Organic Raw Cacao Powder! Having the power in natural powders to get creative as I want and still be wholesome and beneficially packed with what my body needs is the perfect balance. You can set up your future for great things too in the Gigi Amanata Wellness Shop and pick your own combinations that your taste buds and wellness will enjoy and benefit from! Explore my wellness shop today designed just for you and be inspired to take back your wellness freedom naturally!

You Are Blessed,

Try, try, it’s good for your being, the more positive things you try the more you glow!

Here are some examples of ways to test and try something new in your wellness and the easiest way to start is by what we put in our beautiful temples. Let us start there, I always say we only get one temple so we must cherish and take care of it! In this post for you I will highlight some cool recipes inspired from one of my favorite Epicurious Editions – “FRESH” years ago! 

Try adding fresh, in-season, whole and complete foods, that will nourish our temple with the vitamins and nutrients we need for daily thriving. We don’t want to weight down our daily wellness steps with things that can be detrimental in the short or long term to our journey! Staying aware and always be willing to take the step of faith and try something new for the better of our health. That’s one of the secrets to always keep us glowing.

“If we never try a new positive thing, we will never know if it had the power to catapult us to a new level!” – Giovanni Gilmore

Focus on all you want to do and go in your wellness and how Gigi Amanata Wellness can help set the positive supportive atmosphere for you to reach your goals.

Flight Freedom Friday 2.24.2017 0

Flight Freedom Friday 2.24.2017

Fly with favor and flow into your future.

I hope all my beautiful souls growing in their wellness had a week of productivity & renewal!

Frazzled, frizzy in the mind, and flustered. What a total fumble that could feel like and we’ve all been there and had that type of moment. I love being able to stop, refocus, and re-plan to execute a new flight plan just when we thought the original plan may be taking a nosedive. This could be in a decision made in our wellness or even in our life journey, but we have the power of flight and we are never given more than we can bear. We can get a second wind even after a false start, slow start, or even no start at all. It is up to us to make that freedom step forward

“The flight plan of life is never always on course so keep your good positive light near for the dark turbulent times.” – Giovanni Gilmore

Have you ever fought the flight due to fear instead of just letting it flow? How about let fear fly out the window and smile as you release and let go of a big thing that can hold us back. We weren’t made to be fearful so don’t hold onto anything that isn’t lifting you and helping remove that fear. Don’t let anyone stop you from having the landing you deserve.

Stay the positive course to set the vibes of what you want in your atmosphere that will help you on your journey and seasons in life. The benefits you’ll reap of successful mission outlooks and ways to overcome the good and bad things you may experience will keep your gratitude. Your freedom flow is determined on your mindset and attitude to the flight plans.

Tag Yourself and Gigi Amanata Wellness using the hashtag #FreeFlyAndFavored for a feature on our Instagram or Twitter or Facebook page! Show me how you glided thru your week and how this Freedom Friday your flight will have a beautiful landing! You could be the encouragement another beautiful soul on their wellness journey needs.



The Gigi Amanata Wellness Shop has all you need for a top flight type of week. Make your favorite raw recipes, stir-fry rice recipes, and pasta recipes receive flying colors from your family with Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Black Pepper Powder, and Organic Ginger Root Powder or make a tasty dessert favorite take it up a notch by infusing it with a superfood powder like Organic Moringa Powder, Organic Raw Cacao Powder, Organic Pomegranate Juice Powder or something revitalizing and balancing for the body like Organic Lemon Powder or Organic Apple Powder. Watch your wellness begin to fly higher and truly appreciate the extra NON-GMO powder nutritional love you’re showing your temple in your recipes!

You Are Blessed,
