Have a Very Merry LOUD Christmas!

It's that time of the year again! It's that day we grew up thinking was magical and our personal journeys in adulthood have determined our current perception of it; Christmas! No matter what you've been through or how you view Christmas, take the time to take advantage of this holiday. Spend time with family. Help out at a soup kitchen. Give some kids at a children's hospital the Christmas you wish you had. Shit, learn how to cook...and share the food only with yourself. No one wants experimental food from a novice cook, especially on the holidays. Unless you're Chef Roble or something. I'd try his culinary experiments all day. Whatever you do decide to do, make it a LOUD holiday!

I've decided to take advantage of this time to reflect and look back at young Miz Kane's Christmas' of yesteryears.

O Holy Holiday Miracle Oil: The Amazing Benefits of Peppermint

I'm a sucker for the holiday season. Don't get me started on how much I love the fact that there are three consecutive months full of marketable holidays. If you include New Year's, you got four. The more the merrier, I say.

I'm definitely not one of those people you have to worry about falling out of the holiday spirit. I'm down for keeping it up all year. And I do. The fact that I play Christmas playlists on Spotify and Pandora all year round are a pretty good indicator of that.

With all that being said, it is no wonder that I have jumped on this train of being a peppermint fiend. Yes, peppermint. Not a statement you hear everyday, I know. In all actuality, it all started as me just trying to find something, ANYTHING, to help with those wonderful monthly bouts of pain. AKA, monster cramps. In dispair, I heard a voice in the back of my head say, "Eat the candy cane next to your bed." I swear my body naturally directs me towards homeopathic, Ayurvedic solutions more and more as I get older. Would you believe chewing on a candy cane helped relieve my pain? As if magically??

Am I crazy or is peppermint really a miracle oil??? Find out after the jump.
