My Three C's




Coconut oil, cucumber, cod liver oil!  These are three products that you will want to get your hands on after reading this post.  I've found them to be life savers in countless ways. These are all-natural, good-for-you products, easy to get your hands on, and super affordable!

Coconut oil does wonders for the body, and in so many ways. I started using the oil in my hair this past summer, but have since discovered the many other benefits I could use in my life.  Of course you can cook with coconut oil, but try using this product for soothing and healing dead skin. Massage into the dry areas of the body, including the scalp, and you'll quickly see a noticeable improvement.  Experience growth in your eyelashes by gently rubbing on your lashes daily.   I only use organic virgin coconut oil to ensure that I get the most use out of the oil, as this is naturally unrefined

The cucumber is rich in fiber, and recommended for improving the complexion -hydrating and refreshing the skin. Suffering from heartburn, gas, ulcers?! Try introducing cucumber to your diet. It eliminates swelling and soothes the eyes. Cucumber juice can help to control eczema, arthritis and gout! Cleaning with the cucumber-clean faucets, sinks, or stainless steel.

Cod liver oil!? I consume one teaspoon daily to serve as a natural cure and preventive method from illnesses, diseases and ailments. It has been proven to serve as an anti-depressent, and also helps fight against memory loss and old-aging, keeping the body in tact. This oi is so powerful, it can fight off heart disease, as well as strengthen eyesight and the bones. Yes, the taste and oily texture is challenging for most to stomach, but believe me when I say, the many benefits of this oil outweigh the taste. By the way, you can purchase flavored oil (lemon or cherry) but honestly, the taste is pretty much the same.

I strongly encourage you to consider these items as natural remedies, preventatives, and solutions to the dilemmas in your life.

Please tell me if you have tried any of the C's listed and your experience! Post a comment here or through Facebook!

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries.  Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price.  Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange!  Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack.  But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level.  Okay, that's a little extreme!  But seriously,  it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible,  introduc...

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me  even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath.  It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling  overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care.  Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....

Zinc

Boost your immune system, and start repairing your body internally with zinc.  My (functional medicine) doctor recommended that I incorporate zinc into my diet, by taking a daily supplement, but preferably considering zinc in my food choices.  It was explained that zinc could assist with reversing some of the internal damage of my stomach.  For most of my life, I've been consuming gluten, probably daily, never realizing that it was wreaking havoc on my intestines. In the beginning, I mainly suffered from constipation.   As I got older, bloating and stomach discomfort became a daily thing, along with the constipation.  My stomach issues became my life, and began controlling my life, and even my wardrobe.  Yes, my scarf collection, and flowy tops expanded.   Keeping a scarf on hand daily, in case I needed a cover up for my distended belly.   Then came the hiatal hernia and belching, after almost every meal, and I'd sometimes e...
