Have fun, be safe, and share your findings!


Mimosa hostilis is also a evergreen tree or shrub which is native to northeastern Brazil and as far north as Mexico. Besides its medicinal uses to treat burns and lesions, the bark of Mimosa hostilis, as recently discovered contains 1% DMT and has been considered a teacher plant and spiritual guide by Central American civilizations since the ancient Mayans. So before you make the assumption that Mimosa's works (the dubstep artist) are merely a cure of your hangover, remember that they be your spirit guide too.

This fast-growing, deciduous tree was introduced into the U.S. in 1745 as an ornamental. It is relatively short-lived, although hardy to -30ยบ and in California, grows at least 25% to 40% taller than its generally accepted height of 25' - 30'. Here, there are some quite large specimens and in bloom, at some distance, they look a bit like a huge pink toilet brush. The species was named for the Italian scholar Albizi, who introduced the plant to Europe in the early 18th century.

The genus Albizia is of the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family and grows in most tropical and subtropical climates. The bark or cortex is used to heal bruises and as a vermicide. I was surprised to notice that the flowers have a distinct sweet smell, usually only close up - otherwise, the scent is very faint and not localized.

The tree's Persian name is Shabkhosb, "the Night Sleeper" and in Japan Nemunoki, or "Sleeping Tree", from the leaves' habit of slowly folding downward at night as if it was sleeping. In Haiku, the flower's name represents summer.

The leaf movement mimics a true Mimosa, Mimosa pudica or "Sensitive Plant", native to Mexico and Central America. In Hawaii and a number of other areas it has become an invasive weed. It is one of the few plants, along with the Venus Flytrap and the Telegraph Plant, that are capable of rapid movement.

Deputy of U.S. initiative says the fight against malaria is working

Meghan Parmentier, GHLI intern

Dr. Bernard Nahlen visited Yale to recognize National Malaria Day (April 25) and to speak at the Global Health Seminar about efforts being made in the fight against the disease. Dr. Nahlen, deputy coordinator of the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), outlined the burden of the disease, what the PMI and global support are doing as part of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership and how the fight against malaria is making positive strides.

Because the funding for the prevention and treatment of malaria has increased, Nahlen described how the global burden of the disease is decreasing. In fact, the statistic of one child dying from malaria every 30 seconds has gone down to one child dying every 45 seconds. Still, he said, there is immense work to be done for the 3.5 billion people at risk.

Among regions most affected by malaria, Nahlen highlighted Africa and described the vicious cycle of how the treatments, repeated bouts of the disease, and impact on labor productivity keep the areas in poverty. He estimates that malaria causes an annual loss of growth up to 1.3 percent each year.

Having lived in Western Kenya for many years, Nahlen spoke from experience recounting how in malaria-prone areas, many children can receive five or six infected bites a night. Thus, the latter half of his presentation focused on the life-saving interventions the initiative is implementing. The two most effective include insecticide-treated nets to hang over sleeping areas and indoor residual spraying. According to Nahlen, studies already show these efforts are killing the infected female mosquitoes before they get a chance to bite, resulting in a large reduction of children coming to clinics for malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea, and even reducing the risk of infant mortality.

“There is strong evidence that the major scale up of malaria prevention and control interventions contributed significantly to the 45 percent reduction in all-cause under-5 mortality in Mainland Tanzania during the period 1999 to 2010,” he said during his presentation. Now, they are doing the same thing country by country.

How I Wore It :: 38 Weeks


I have officially discovered my new favorite maternity dress! Towards the end of pregnancy when my stomach is super size, I am not a fan of baggy clothing. I think tighter fits show off the bump nicely and I don't like feeling as though I'm wearing a big huge sack, so when I came across this Nicole Miller via A Pea in the Pod I was thrilled...and even more excited when I received it and it actually fit as I was hoping! Typically more than I spend on maternity clothes {Old Navy is my go-to store during these 9 months}, I was ok with the $250 splurge because we have several parties coming up in the next few weeks and I definitely want to be feeling my best appearance-wise for all of them. Not disappointed with the dress in the slightest and I highly recommend!

Had to include a snapshot of Biz. He will never ever EVER x 1 million go for a How Biz Wore It, but at least I can give y'all a taste of his awesome style. Definitely brave. Heartsies :)

Monday Giveaway :: Cannon Lewis Jewelry!


I have giveaway fever right now! Such a special treat to share with you this morning from Cannon Lewis. Aside from having the best name ever {you know a gal named Cannon is cooler than you are...me included}, Cannon creates some of the most special pieces of jewelry I have come across - her refined bohemian aesthetic has me sold, hook line and sinker. Although her designs feature some of the world's most precious metals and stones, the pieces themselves remain easy to wear yet elegant. All in all, the perfect combination!

From her Life Collection, these Large Willow Earrings are 14K gold vermeil and feature a tiny diamond on each one. A quote from Cannon's grandmother is engraved on the back: "Be a Willow, not an Oak. Willows bend, Oaks break." What a wonderful reminder to stay flexible each day! 

Poke around her website if you have time to browse through her other magnificent creations. My favorites are the teeny gold leaf post earrings, large egg shell earrings and of course the adorable silver baby spoon!

To enter, simply leave a comment below, and I'm sure Cannon would appreciate some love on her Facebook page, Cannon Lewis Jewelry. I'll run the giveaway through Wednesday! Good luck!
