Grapeseed Oil

 
 

So grapeseed oil is one of those items I frequently alternate off and on between coconut oil.  I'll pretty much grab whichever one I can pick up faster in my house.  My top favorite things to use grapeseed oil for would be my face.  I apply daily after I use blacksoap on my face. 

It's perfect for applying to my hair before shampooing and conditioning.  Simply saturate the hair in the oil, and apply a shower cap for an hour, or as long as you choose- can't hurt.  You can also use it once you've cleansed your hair and scalp, as a routine hair oil.  This oil moisturizes the hair in addition to conditions and strenghtens those ragged ends.  Their is little to no smell, so it should not conflict with any other products you may use.  It's perfectly safe for children as well (hair and skin).  Apply the oil to dry skin daily, to heal dried and skin and cracked heels.  Moistuize the cuticles and nails to strenghten and help those nails grow too!  So that's pretty much all that I do with grapeseed oil, in addition to cooking of course, but here's a link below that offers a list of 20 things to do with grapeseed oil!  Who knew?

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,  introducing into your daily die

Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns.  I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult.  But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon.  Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body.  It is so easy, and close to free-  so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost.  Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body.    Choose the oil of your choice.  I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower.   Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), swish around for about 15 - 20 minutes.  You can do this daily,
