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!

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Savvy Wash

Dishes and laundry are two household tasks that we all know well.  These are chores we picked up on way back in our teen years, if not younger.  You have probably got them down to a science, but how about I give you a few interesting facts and tips that can save time, energy, money, and protect  the environment.  Read on! We have an understanding that using the dishwasher is greener than washing by hand. This is true in most cases, and even more so if you have an energy-efficient dishwasher.  Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind to be even greener and cut costs on your water and electricity bills. Reduce your water consumption: Avoid pre-rinsing and only run full loads.  If you are neat freak and just hate to go to bed with a disorderly kitchen, throw the dishes in the dishwasher and run it once full. Try using the cold-water setting if this is an option on your dishwasher. Also let the dishes air dry, versus using the heat dry option.  The h...
