Who Made Me CryI was so excited when I found out that I was going to be getting health insurance through my work place. With my employer covering half of the cost of the premium I finally would be able to afford Health Insurance.<br />
<br />
I eagerly awaited the day my insurance would kick in and I would be able to find a Dr. I hadn't had a primary Dr in 13 years....with the only health care I had that was routine being my 2 pregnancies and yearly well woman visits at Planned Parenthood.<br />
<br />
I called several Dr's first that my family members went to. None of them were taking new patients. Then I saw a sign at a Dr's office that said they were. So I called to get some more information. They asked that if the Dr was unavailable if I was okay with seeing the Physician's Assistant in their office. Since this is all I had been seeing anyway going to Doc's in a Box I said sure. Why not.<br />
<br />
<br />
I got approved and made my first appointment. I arrived 30 minutes early anticipating tons of paperwork to be filled out and lots of "get to know my medical history" questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
None of that happened.<br />
<br />
<br />
The gentleman who called me back was so very nice, it made me glad I chose this office. He listened to me, let me finish saying what I was saying before following up with questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
He left to go get you. I had started this morning nervous and excited. I was finally going to be able to afford routine health care! I was finally going to have a Dr's office that would be mine and would help me get back to where I needed to be.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is so much going wrong with me. So much. Mostly due to my not being able to afford the tests and procedures that I needed.<br />
<br />
Then you walked in and right away, I knew, you judged me.<br />
<br />
I want to start off by saying in no way am I skinny girl. I have never been a skinny girl and short of a miracle or medical intervention I don't ever see myself being a skinny girl. I am taking steps to make myself healthier. Watching what I eat, cutting out the bad foods, increasing the good foods, making an effort to be more active....<br />
<br />
You didn't ask me any of that. <br />
<br />
<br />
You asked me the standard follow up questions to what the nice gentleman had asked me previously. You check out a few things that I had mentioned. You suggest sleep apnea being the reason I am so tired. You wanted to do a sleep study. You asked me if I wanted one. I told you that I would do any test you wanted me to do as long as I could afford them. My insurance is new to me, and I am not sure yet what I would have to pay to be able to do one.<br />
<br />
You then mention a couple of the other items that I had mentioned and then the words come out of your mouth that I was waiting on.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Most of the issues you are experiencing can probably be handled with proper weight management. Less soda, less junk, less carbs, more protein, exercise 4 to 5 days a week and a 1200 calorie limit."<br />
<br />
and right there in your office my heart broke.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was all I could do not to cry, which I ended up happening as soon as I got in my car.<br />
<br />
You didn't ask me if I was currently doing anything to manage my weight.<br />
<br />
You didn't ask me what my daily diet looks like.<br />
<br />
You just assumed because I was over weight that I was not doing anything to prevent it.<br />
<br />
You just assumed that since I was over weight that I was ignorant of some of the health implications due to my increased size.<br />
<br />
You took one look at me and judged so many different things about me......things that were completely wrong.<br />
<br />
<br />
You didn't ask so you didn't know<br />
<br />
How I have completely changed my diet in the last 6 months.<br />
<br />
How I used to walk all the time until my foot, which I didn't dare bring up, starting hurting and swelling so bad that I could barely walk to the bathroom without crying in pain.<br />
<br />
How I have basically tripled my water intake from previous years and have drastically reduced my soda intake.<br />
<br />
<br />
How I have been doing everything that I can right now, this minute, on the budget I have with the tools I have available to me, to make myself and my life better.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You didn't ask, so you didn't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I left your office feeling crushed. I want to think that wasn't your intent. That your intent was to possibly motivate me, more than I am now, to shed the pounds that I need to lose. But instead you made me feel more defeated, more hopeless and above all a failure.<br />
<br />
I know you will never see this. I know that you will continue to treat people as you have been for 14 years at the office where you work. I just hope that one day you learn how to listen to the person sitting in front of you and value them as an individual and not judge them based on outward appearance.<br />

<br />
Hoping to find yourself.....<br />

Hoping to make the pain go away........<br />
<br />
Hoping to make yourself feel a little less alone.........<br />
<br />
<br />
Take your time finding someone new..........<br />
<br />
Take the time to explore all the dark and dusty corner's of their mind............<br />
<br />
Find out their secrets like a well worn, well read book that you just can't put down.......<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't rush when meeting people.....<br />
<br />
<br />
Let it take days........<br />

<br />
Months.......<br />
<br />
Years if necessary.......<br />
<br />
<br />
Take time for you.......<br />
<br />
To find you.......<br />
<br />
To be you.......<br />
<br />
Because if you rush to lose yourself in another person.......<br />
<br />
How do you really know who you're rushing to lose?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13573594841089186701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282473682336529104.post-16013910234074102702014-08-22T14:40:00.000-05:002015-08-10T17:49:47.173-05:00What I've Been DoingPeople have been asking me lately what I have been doing since George* left. True, we had not been in an actual relationship for upwards of 6 months. That's two birthdays, three trips home to my family and a holiday or two. We still outwardly portrayed everything a relationship is supposed to be. <br />
<br />
<br />
When we were around people we laughed and joked and smiled and were perfectly pleasant with each other.<br />
<br />
Behind closed doors was a different story. Behind closed doors we were marginally civil each doing the bare minimum we could do to keep the peace. Most of the time we existed on a very tight rope of civility and mutual respect of the other as a human being.<br />
<br />
<br />
More often than not we fell into patterns of silent resentment and attitude. I still cooked dinner, did dishes and laundry and all the tasks that I did prior to our break up. He still played his video games, sometimes picked up around the house and took out the trash.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironically he helped more around the house in the last month of our "relationship" than he had the whole time we "were together."<br />
<br />
<br />
It actually was appreciated.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then he moved and although he claimed to be able to move in a day it has stretched into a week.<br />
<br />
<br />
People have been asking me what I have been doing, if he's gone and some other very personal questions that frankly I feel they have no business asking as they don't pay my bills.<br />
<br />
<br />
If they would like to pick one and pay it I will be glad to fix us some tea, sit down, and have a heart to heart with them.<br />
<br />
So for the well meaning and only trying to be supportive few here is what I have been doing:<br />
<br />
<br />
Putting my apartment back together. When you have lived with someone for almost a year and they move out things are a bit hectic and scattered and messy.<br />
<br />
I have been working on this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not zealously and not devoting all my time to it. I'm taking my time, bit by bit, putting things where I want them, without regard to the opinions of another human being, going through things and getting rid of the ones I do not want anymore to make room for things that I do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Things that represent me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Who I am.<br />
<br />
<br />
Something that I usually, sometimes unknowingly, sacrifice for the person in my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So that is what I am doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am putting my life together. I am finding my peace. I am finding, for the first time since I've moved in, MY home.<br />
<br />
<br />

I picked Clara* up and we go to work. I get to work, have my oatmeal and coffee, maybe orange juice if I've remembered to buy some at the shop and start my mornings work.<br />
<br />
Routine. My comfort.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love the predictability of my routines, the ebb and flow of a life I try to construct perfectly. Like an orchestra of emotions, actions and consequences.<br />
<br />
Life isn't perfect though. Is it?<br />
<br />
<br />
Life is a roller coaster of twists and turns and belly rolls and yes, sometimes, even crashes.<br />
<br />
<br />
My roller coaster crashed this weekend.<br />
<br />
<br />
This weekend filled with so much emotional upheaval and heart breaking emotions that even if I wanted I couldn't name.<br />
<br />
<br />
I came out on the other side. A little bruised, a lot broken, and trying to get my routines back in line.<br />
<br />
<br />
But this morning.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not hungry.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't fix my oatmeal, or my coffee, and I didn't pick up orange juice at the shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
I sit here at my desk and stare at my computer, knowing I should be doing something but lacking the energy to even try.<br />
<br />
There are files to process, books to balance and financials to print.<br />
<br />
<br />
And I can't seem to find the will to start them.<br />
<br />

10:45 driving home from a friend’s house Saturday night I
wrecked my car. I am 29 years old and
have never been a wreck before. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was freaking out. I
called my ex and told him he needed to get there- Now. He doesn’t have a car yet but he found a way
there. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He kept calling me back and asking me questions. What happened? Where are you? Whose fault was
it? Where was I parked now?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The questions never seemed to end. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then he asked the big question. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Can you drive the car?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The answer was a resounding “Nope.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wasn’t sure what was wrong, but it took all I could to get
my car in the parking lot where my ex eventually found me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By this point the cop has shown up and done nothing, the guy
I hit and I had exchanged information. I had photographed not only his car but
mine and had already gotten in touch with my grandfather and father. My mother didn’t answer so I text her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone was worried about me, physically I was fine.
Emotionally I was trying so very hard not to cry. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My ex had a friend look at the car, and he told me some technical
mechanic terms but basically…I need a new tie rod. He then explained what those
are. I can’t even try so if you really
need to know. Ask Lord Google. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s fast forward to Sunday morning and my friend George* because
the only thing that is left is me crying at two a.m. while eating ice cream out
of the carton. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When he heard about my wreck, being that he is very
mechanically inclined he offered to help.
The part he said was about $60 and he could have it on in an hour. My car would not be pretty, but it could be
driven. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was so stinking happy. Unfortunately the part was not in
stock anywhere in town. We got the part ordered and went to check on my
car. It was still there, looking sad…and
as I talked to the insurance company we waited for the wrecker. While waiting we
sat in his truck and chatted. Caught up on recent events and had a pleasant
time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once the car was
towed to my apt George* graciously bought me lunch and even went and picked up
my chest freezer I had ordered for me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He really was my knight in shining armor that day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then my ex decided to let in on me or as he puts it “have a
heart to heart” which translates to:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’ve done something I don’t like so I’m going to make you
feel like shit.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So yeah, I was genuinely confused. I didn’t know what I had done. Yeah, George and I had been intimate in the
past, we weren’t anymore, we still talked, but just as friends, we hadn’t seen
each other in months, over 5 of them to be exact and all of this was before my
ex and I had gotten together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
George offered to help me, because he is a nice person and
my friend and he knows how bad I need a car and that I can’t logically wait the
extraordinary amount of time the insurance company is going to take. He saw a
friend who needed help, despite our past, and he was there to help. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My ex on the other hand only saw the fact that I had slept with
him, months before I had met my ex mind you, and accused me of sleeping with
him again, like that weekend, and of that being the only reason George would
have helped me, basically saying that I was unworthy of kindness unless I was
sleeping with the person. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><u>Like I, even though I am human being, am unworthy of a friend who
wants to help, just because we’re friend without any ulterior motive or coercion.</u></i></b>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I couldn’t understand where all of this came from. I was so happy that I would be getting my car
back in a week instead of months and here he is accusing me, yelling and
cussing at me, accusing me of sleeping with someone that I haven’t seen in
MONTHS. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt ashamed of accepting his help, of wrecking my car, of
all the things that had made me so positive that day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I shouldn't have let him make me feel that way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did nothing wrong. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I accepted help from a friend that was gracious enough to
help me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is no harm or shame in that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I should be ashamed that I let him make me feel that way-
like I deserved less, like I was less, for accepting help from George*. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It boils down to he was jealous. He doesn't want me, but the thought of
someone else wanting me burns his biscuits. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, I hope he likes them burnt black. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

Reaching for antacids all the time?</h1>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Do you stash bottles of antacids in your car, office and home? Or do you experience less frequent but still very uncomfortable bouts of heartburn? Then <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">your body is telling you something… and the message is NOT to take a swig of liquid antacid medication or pop some pills</span>.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
Heartburn: a vicious cycle</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Both acid blockers and antacids, the common treatments for heartburn, actually perpetuate a vicious cycle of attack on your poor esophageal lining. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">That’s because heartburn results from too little stomach acid, not too much. Counterintuitive, right? But it’s biology, folks. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Stress and poor diet reduce gastric juices instead of increasing gastric juice.</span> That is one reason why we see skyrocketing numbers of heartburn sufferers in our stressed and unhealthy world. This low stomach acid not only leads to heartburn but also bloating, hormone problems, peeling nails, thinning hair, gas, constipation and more.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Acid reducers and acid blockers further lower our stomach acid. This reduces the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">sensation</em> of heartburn by making the stomach contents more alkaline, but <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">it doesn’t prevent the stomach contents from leaking into the esophagus</span>. And the more alkaline the food in the stomach, the less it gets digested and the more problems it causes when it goes lower down into the digestive tract.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">When our stomach is producing adequate acid, then the valve at the top of the stomach is signaled to close tightly</span>, preventing the acidic contents from leaking into the esophagus.

A natural heartburn remedy… that works!</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
This effective and natural heartburn remedy works the opposite way of Tums or Gaviscon or [insert heartburn medication of your choice here]. It makes the stomach more acid, not less acid. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">This signals the valve at the top of the stomach to close and the valve at the bottom of the stomach to open – so food goes down, not up!</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Mix together and drink at the first sign of heartburn. You can continue to take this every 5-10 minutes until you have relief, but one serving usually takes action within just three minutes. If it tastes too sour for you, add a teaspoon of <a href="http://amzn.to/15c6Qor" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; background-color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; color: #638f67; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">RAW (also called unpasteurized) honey</a> or reduce the vinegar to 1 tsp.

Every time there is a new<a href="https://us154.infusionsoft.com/go/geteducated/a180/" style="color: #4c3d87;" target="_blank"> bundle sale</a>, I go crazy making natural body care products, new recipes, and home remedies.

<div style="line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
This time I made solid perfume (from the MadeOn Personal Care Edition in the Natural Skincare section of the <a href="http://adelightfulhome.com/dont-miss-the-bundle-of-the-year-86-ebooks-12-weeks-mentoring-9-bonuses/" style="color: #4c3d87;" title="Don’t Miss the Bundle of the Year: 86 eBooks +12 weeks Mentoring + 9 Bonuses">Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle Sale</a>).</div>

2 tablespoons sweet almond oil<br />1 tablespooon apricot kernal oil<br />1/4 cup beeswax pastilles<br />3/4 teaspoon essential oil (like lavender or sweet orange)</div>
<div>
<strong>Instructions</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
1. Add beeswax and oils to a heavy duty glass measuring jar (make sure it’s heat proof. Use a canning jar if you are not sure).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
2. Place jar in a pot and pour water into the pot so it comes up the sides of the jar (past the ingredients inside the jar).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="solid perfume ingredients" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9671" data-id="9671" height="421" src="http://adelightfulhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/solid-perfume-ingredients.jpg" style="display: inline; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 100%;" width="600" /></div>

3. Warm the water and ingredients over medium heat.</div>

(You could also melt everything in a double boiler instead).</div>

3. Remove from heat, stir in the essential oils and pour into lip balm tubes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I want to share my favorite eye cream with you. It is super simple to make using only two ingredients - coconut oil and Vitamin E. In <a href="http://ramblingsofahappyhomemaker.blogspot.com/2011/11/moisturizers.html" style="color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none;">yesterday's post</a> we learned that coconut oil is a protective antioxidant and supports tissue repair and healing. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what <a href="http://www.healthy-skincare.com/benefits-of-vitamin-e.html" style="color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none;">www.healthy-skincare.com</a> has to say about Vitamin E:</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In terms of skin health and skin care, vitamin e benefits are numerous. In fact, skin care products that contain vitamin e have become an essential part of healthy skin care.</span></i></div>
<div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Antioxidant</span></b></i></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all, because of its antioxidant activity, vitamin e is vital in protecting skin cells from ultra violet light, pollution, drugs, and other elements that produce cell damaging free radicals. It is believed that vitamin e is most effective in its natural alcohol form rather than its acetate form where it is a less effective antioxidant. Watch for this in the labelling of skin care products.</span></i></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The vitamin e benefits for healthy skin care also include its ability to regulate vitamin a in the body, which itself is important for healthy skin.</span></i></div>

<div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vitamin e added to lotions, creams, and other skin care products, as well as taken orally, plays a role in the anti-aging of skin. It helps skin look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, free radicals are believed to play an important role in skin aging and therefore the antioxidant activity is quite valuable for this skin problem.</span></i></div>

<div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vitamin e can aid in the treatment of various skin diseases or skin conditions. Topical applications such as those used to treat <a href="http://www.healthy-skincare.com/psoriasis.html" style="color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none;">psoriasis is one of the benefits of vitamin e.</a> Orally ingested vitamin e can help treat erythema (a skin inflammation that results in reddish, painful, and tender lumps).</span></i></div>

<div style="border-spacing: 2px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most important benefits of vitamin e is the prevention of skin cancer.

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-spacing: 2px;">Overall for skin care, more benefit is obtained from topical application of vitamin e through creams or lotions rather than taking vitamin e orally. Skin is able to absorb natural vitamin e effectively. However, taking vitamin e orally is important for the good health of other areas of the body.</span> </span></i><br /><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that you know <i>why</i> we're using coconut oil and Vitamin E, let's find out <i>how</i> to turn them into an eye cream. First you need to find a container to make your cream in. The one in the picture is a miniature jelly jar. My guess is that it is between a half and one ounce. In the past, I've just used clean eye contact containers. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fill your container with coconut oil. It is solid at room temperature and doesn't begin to melt until it reaches 76 degrees Fahrenheit. So, at this point I put it in the microwave for just a couple of seconds until it begins to melt. Next, you poke a hole in your Vitamin E capsules and add to the melted coconut oil. For the jar above I used 3 capsules. I use 1 capsule per side when using contact containers. Then, I use a tooth pick or wooden skewer and blend them together. At this point I put the cream in the refrigerator to become solid again. After that happens there is no need to keep it refrigerated. The oils will not become rancid. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's all there is to it. When my sister was here visiting I let her try it and she was immediately hooked. So I made her up a batch and sent it home with her. About a week later she sent me an e-mail telling me that she LOVES this eye cream. She said it was better than the expensive stuff she was buying. And this costs nearly nothing per batch. :0)</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

*You can double the recipe</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Directions:</span> In a double boiler, sauce crock pot, or microwave safe dish place first 4 ingredients and heat slowly until melted. Pour into a blender and let cool. In a separate bowl, mix together aloe vera gel, vitamin E oil, lemon essential oil, and honey. Once the beeswax oil mixture has completely cooled and become almost the texture of lip balm, mix it with a spoon a little to break it up, and add the aloe mixture into the blender. Blend until well combined. Place back in a <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">non-metal bowl</span> and add 1/2 tsp bentonite clay, and stir with a non-metal utensil. DO NOT LET IT COME INTO CONTACT WITH METAL! You get the point :). Place cream in a glass or plastic container and store in cool dry place.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve been using this cream for a little while now and I love the way it feels on my skin. I can see a difference in my skin! Brighter, hydrated, and the puffy eyes/dark circles have decreased a ton. Plus, you know exactly what ingredients are going in and you don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals. I feel like a say this every time I do a DIY skin care recipe! It’s true though!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
The reason this is a night cream is because it contains lemon essential oil which can cause photosensitivity in the sun. If you want to make this a day time cream just eliminate the lemon essential oil. You could make one cream for day and one for night!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Side note: Some people believe that aloe can boost hair growth. I could not find z scientific study proving this and from personal experience on using aloe vera on my face for a long time I have not grown facial hair :)!</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Aloe can increase absorption of steroid creams so you may want to avoid aloe when taking them.</em></div>

If you’ve read my blog lately…you’ll know I’m kind of on a <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f25851;">“homemade” kick.</span> Not necessarily homemade cookies, cakes and buns….but more along the lines of cleaning supplies, beauty products, etc.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I haven’t gone off the deep end and started making my own dishes or shoes or anything like that (of course, never say never!) but more and more I find myself looking for alternatives to the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff9900;">high-priced, over-packaged, chemical-filled stuff.</span> Sure it’s <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #339966;">economical</span>, sure it’s the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #339966;">“green”</span> thing to do…but quite frankly…what I like MORE is the feeling of accomplishment and “sticking it to the big corporations” that market this stuff. :-)</div>

But<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f25851;">ANOTHER</span> problem is…the cheap ones are <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f25851;">CHEAP</span> for a reason. They aren’t as soft and/or moist as their more expensive rivals. The last couple of months I have started adding my own lotion to them before I use them and it’s been a HUGE improvement! Makeup comes off much easier without unnecessary rubbing and pulling on your delicate eye skin…and it leaves your skin moisturized!</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #339966;">Directions:</span></h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Cut a roll of paper towels in half, place each half in a container with a tight-fitting lid, then soak each half with 2 cups warm water and the desired mixture (see below). The ingredients differ only slightly <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #339966;">depending on what kind of wipes you’re making.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
After you have added the water, snap the lid on (you’ll have to smoosh it a bit to make it fit) and turn it upside down. Wait 5 to 10 minutes then turn the container right side up, take the lid off, and remove the cardboard tube in the center. It should come out easily. Now grab the first towel in the center of the roll and pop it up for easy dispensing!</div>

I’m just going to go ahead and say it – I hate taking baths. Just thinking about lying in the tub, staring at the walls, trying to relax starts to stress me out. There’s too much to do! The kids are probably tearing down the house! A shower is <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">way</em> more efficient. I was in and out of the shower in less than 4 minutes today, with a crying, croupy toddler peering around the curtain the whole time.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 3rem; padding: 0px;">
This column of bath & body recipes is supposed to be called “Taking Care” because moms (cough, me) gotta start taking better care of themselves. But I just can’t do it yet – not with a straight face anyway! For stressed out mamas a relaxing vanilla bubble bath recipe is just the place to start. Preferably with a glass a wine.</div>

According to my daughter, baths rock. It does seem like “growing up” means giving up all the fun stuff doesn’t it?</div>

My first attempt at making bubble bath a couple of years ago was a total bomb. The secret is the egg white! It helps create bigger bubbles that last longer.</div>

I have pretty dry hands and during the gardening season they get even worse from the rough scrubbing needed to remove all the resulting dirt. They quickly become chapped, especially around the cuticles. I’ve tried many different brands of hand creams, but I have never found one that I liked both the <a class="kLink" href="http://thehappyhousewife.com/home-management/homemade-hand-cream/#" id="KonaLink0" style="background: none transparent !important; border: 0px none transparent !important; bottom: 0px; box-sizing: content-box !important; color: #8c6239; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; left: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static; right: 0px; top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: content-box !important; color: #8c6239; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background: none transparent; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; box-sizing: content-box !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">scent</span></span></a> of and had the power to keep my hands looking good. Plus, the ingredient lists on these creams were SO long…surely a hand cream could be simpler, couldn’t it?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: content-box !important;">
Yes, I’ve found, it can. When you make your own Lavender Hand Cream you’ll get simpler ingredients, a foolproof method (no worries about separation), a wonderful light scent, and a cream rich enough to not only keep your hands and cuticles looking good, but also work wonders on your elbows and dry heels as well.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: content-box !important;">
Since it’s made with real oils and beeswax, it is, well…<em style="box-sizing: content-box !important;">oily</em>, so I wouldn’t apply it right before working on the computer or reading a book. It’s perfect, however, for applying before putting on gardening gloves and before going to bed at night, where it has a chance to soak in – protecting and replenishing the skin we can be so rough on during the day.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: content-box !important;">
Lavender hand cream also makes a terrific gift and can be adapted to use different scents or even be thinned to use with a pump.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I’ve gotten several requests for my natural lip balm, lipstick, and Chapstick recipes, and while I’ve been making these for years, I finally got around to actually measuring the ingredients so I could tell you the recipe (I usually just made it by eyeballing the amounts).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Surprisingly, <a href="http://www.thedailygreen.com/living-green/lipstick-ingredients-020410" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border-bottom-color: rgb(41, 142, 2); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #298e02; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">lipstick can be a source of harmful chemicals</a> and since it is used on the skin (lips) and near the mouth, these chemicals can be easily absorbed. These homemade variations let you create a personalized lipstick color that is chemical free and inexpensive to make.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
If you aren’t a fan of colored lip sticks, you can make this recipe without any added color options to achieve a basic natural lip chap.</div>

<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 3rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 1.6rem;">
What to do</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Melt the beeswax, shea butter/cocoa butter and coconut oil in a glass jar without a lid in a small pot of simmering (not boiling) water. It should melt quickly because so little of each ingredient is used.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
When melted, remove from heat and add any optional ingredients like color or scent. To get the hue in the picture above, I used a tiny pinch of beet root powder (1/8 tsp or less), 1/4 tsp cocoa powder, 1/8 tsp bentonite clay, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and a drop of peppermint essential oil (just because I like the smell). I think I added slightly more cocoa powder after mixing to darken it up slightly but I didn’t measure that one.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Once all ingredients are mixed well but still liquid, use a dropper to pour into the lip chap container. I used the glass dropper from an old tincture bottle. Fill just below the top as it will expand slightly as it cools. Leave to cool for at least half an hour. Store in a cool place (under 80 degrees) or it will soften.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Enjoy!</div>

I have a confession-I don’t like hand sanitizer. In fact, every time I see those bottles of gel, I rage a little bit inside. I am of the firm belief that we need germs, and killing every last one is a losing battle that lands us with weakened immune systems and possibly resistant strains of bacteria popping up left and right. Now that I’ve ranted, you’re probably wondering why I am doing a post on hand sanitizer if it irks me so. The truth of the matter is that sometimes the best method of getting clean hands-using plain old soap and water-just isn’t an option (think like when you’re on the road, and you just can’t bring yourself to touch the crusty sink at the gas station.) In these times, hand sanitizer is an asset, and in making your own you can avoid the harsher sanitizers that seem to be everywhere these days.</div>

It wasn’t until recently that actual studies have begun to show that lavender does indeed wipe out some forms of bacteria, and it is particularly effective against fungus. A UK based study found that lavender oil consistently inhibited the growth of MSSA and MRSA (methicillin-sensistive and resistant Staphyloccous aureus.) Translated that means it stopped the growth of the microbes that cause staph infections that have become resistant to current day medicine.</div>

While witch hazel does not contain the 70% concentration of alcohol that would be needed to match store-bought hand sanitizers (60%-70% is usually the baseline suggested for making a true dent in killing germs) the added essential oils are what we rely on to kill a lot of the illness causing germs and bacteria. It does add a boost to the recipe, but isn’t necessary if you want to avoid alcohol all together.</div>

In a bowl place 9 drops each of lavender and clove oil, and 25-30 drops of tea tree oil. Stir these together add 16 tablespoons (8 ounces) of aloe vera gel and 1 tablespoon of witch hazel (if you are using it.) Blend everything together and store out of direct sunlight in a cool place for up to 1 month. Note that because it doesn’t have the same level of concentrated alcohol content as store-bought hand sanitizers, its shelf life is not indefinite, and you can make it in smaller batches if you prefer.</div>

Americans spend $175 million a year on hand sanitizers-and use much more of the free stuff- but I maintain that there’s a difference between being clean and being sterile, and the latter is not necessary in the everyday home. Hospitals yes, homes, no. Making your own hand sanitizer isn’t as cheap and easy as grabbing a bottle at the store, nor will it wipe out 99.9999% of germs and bacteria, but in spite of all of that I have to say I am quite fond of this little concoction (and that’s saying something, given my above rant against hand sanitizers.)</div>

Cover and let it sit for 24 hours to make sure you’re good to go. Enjoy!</div>

Whether we know it or not, we’ve all met some form of the typical “Miss Independent.”</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Some of us know her better than others; some of us claim that title ourselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
She’s the self-sufficient, somewhat mysterious go-getter with big dreams and an even bigger heart, though not everyone sees it at first glance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Some might see her as cold and distant, because she needs a significant amount of alone time to keep her from feeling scattered and spread so thin that she disappears. Sure, she has family and friends with whom she loves to spend much of her time, but it’s in her nature to crave those precious hours of solitude—being only with her thoughts, completely alone in a crowd or in the vastness of a quiet scene.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Some call it antisocial; she calls it sanity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
For any or all of these reasons and then some, she’s never been the type to “fall in love.” In fact, if she has ever been in a relationship to any degree, it was likely one of the most difficult and confusing things she’s ever experienced—and she’s not usually one to be deterred.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Perhaps she’s <a href="http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/three-keys-to-setting-mindful-goals/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3300; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;" target="_blank">too focused on her goals</a> to realize that love could be knocking on her door, or she’s so comfortable with being in control that the thought of surrendering even a little bit to someone else makes her uneasy. There’s also a chance that, despite her outward confidence and undeniable potential for success, she’s extremely insecure.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Or, maybe she’s simply afraid of opening herself up enough to be loved.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Whatever the reason, it comes down to the fact that this girl probably doesn’t know how to handle the love that a suitor might want to give her. It doesn’t mean she’s a lost cause, it just means that developing any kind of relationship with her will require an approach that’s more sensitive to her guarded heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
In an effort to offer some insight, here are a few pointers for learning how to love a girl who doesn’t know how to be loved:</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
1. Be patient.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Don’t expect her to feel comfortable with diving headfirst into anything even <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">slightly</em> resembling romance. Keep in mind, it’s probably taken her a great deal of contemplation and courage to even consider spending her time with you. And if she does appear comfortable responding to your first moves, it’s quite possible that she’s actually terrified of what you’ll think of her if she asks to slow things down. So, she just musters the strength to submit herself to the moment, only to spend all night feeling horrible about her dishonesty and inability step on the brakes. This will freak her out enough to make her sever whatever ties were made and withdraw immediately—something she’s not afraid to do.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
To avoid that, let things unfold at a pace that feels natural, which might be slower than what’s considered “normal.” Remember, she’s not used to this, and too much at once will surely send her over the edge. Showing sensitivity to her pace will let her know that she doesn’t have to fear being out of control, causing a miscommunication or feeling the pressure of time.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
2. Talk.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Because she spends so much of her time alone and in her head, this girl might be under the impression that her thoughts and opinions are a bit too intense for others. She rarely shares the things on her mind, as she fears that whatever’s in there is so deep and inquisitive that people will think it’s overdramatic, oddly philosophical or <a href="http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/07/why-its-good-to-be-really-weird/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3300; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;" target="_blank">just plain weird</a>. She values deep conversation, but feels that she can exercise this pleasure with relatively few people, if any at all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
So talk with her. Let her know that she can say what’s on her mind, and don’t be afraid of her ability to dissect every possible meaning of a theory she’s been hung up on for weeks. If she apologizes for rambling about it, tell her she doesn’t need to be sorry, she doesn’t need to suppress it. Make her feel that although she is certainly unique for having such thoughts, she isn’t crazy or abnormal.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Tell her it makes her all the more beautiful.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
And then, give it right back to her. Be sure to engage in her contemplations just as much as you listen; she wants to hear your thoughts more than you realize.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
3. Support her.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Part of this girl’s struggle with letting herself be loved could be that she is relentlessly focused on her dreams and goals, so much so that she forgets to make room in her life for other things—like relationships. It’s not something she does intentionally, she’s just extremely determined to achieve whatever she has set out to do.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If she is forced to make a choice between a love life and her goals, she’s already chosen the latter. So don’t make her choose.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
And certainly don’t make her feel guilty for not spending more of her time with you as a result—she’ll take that as another sign that she needs to sever the ties, even if they’re stronger at this point.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Instead, support her. If you really love this girl and she really loves you, then she’ll welcome the encouragement. She’ll want to support you, too. Let her; with a heart as passionate as hers, you’ll want her on your team.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
4. Don’t be <a href="http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/11/you-arent-a-half-youre-a-whole-the-been-there-chronicles-part-iii/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3300; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;" target="_blank">two halves of a whole</a>, be two wholes that make an even greater whole.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Remember that this “Miss Independent” is just that—an independent chick with an ability to fend for herself. She might even be afraid of relying on others, no matter how much she trusts them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Therefore, don’t think of a relationship with her as one that joins two halves together to make a whole; she won’t treat it as such, and she definitely won’t feel comfortable if you do. Rather, see it as two wholes becoming an even greater whole—two individuals who love each other enough to respect the other’s independence and uniqueness.</div>

This includes honoring her need for alone time. She realizes that you are a person with or without her and asks that you see her in the same way. Being able to spend time apart is important to her; she doesn’t want to rely on your presence, nor does she want you to rely on hers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Don’t try to spend every hour of every day with her unless you want her to feel so bombarded that she tailspins into a mess of tears, word vomit and utter confusion, ending with her breaking it off and swearing to never interact with another human ever again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
But when you are together, be together. Completely. Let her know she is loved until she begins to understand what that feels like, and then keep doing it. If it’s right, she’ll come around. And because she’s loyal by nature, she’ll<em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">stick</em> around, too (so don’t give her any reason to think that you won’t).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Truly, this girl has <a href="http://www.elephantjournal.com/2014/01/today-she-only-wants-to-give-love-edith-lazenby/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3300; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;" target="_blank">a lot of love to give</a>, even if she’s a bit awkward in showing it at first. She just needs time—time to figure things out for herself, to better understand how this works.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Let her figure out that deep down, she just wants to love and be loved—just like everyone else.</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If she happens to let you close enough to love her, take it seriously. It means she’s trying. It means she wants to love you. And remember that helping her learn how to be loved in return is the surest way to win her heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #343434; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

It seemed only natural to make my own homemade blush after trying my hand at <a href="http://thankyourbody.com/all-natural-homemade-mascara/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">mascara</a>, <a href="http://thankyourbody.com/make-lip-balm/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">lip balm</a>, and<a href="http://thankyourbody.com/homemade-bronzer-all-natural-and-so-easy/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank" title="Homemade Bronzer: All natural and so easy.">bronzer</a>. But I really didn’t think about doing it until someone left a comment requesting it. (See how useful your comments are!) But I really loved how this all natural homemade blush turned out. It’s perfect to “awaken” my sometimes ghostly white face.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Of course I don’t need to tell you why homemade blush is a good idea, right? Besides putting the power back in your hands, you avoid any nasty chemical toxins that may be commercial brands. Plus, like so many of my recipes, it’s easy.</div>

Time to experiment</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Keep in mind that with all makeup there is a continuum of “what works” for every individual. This is especially true when we start making things like bronzer, blush, or foundation. What works for me may not work for you. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to adjust and adapt this recipe to work with your skin tones and desired outcome.<span id="more-5066"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
With that in mind, you should probably know that I’m extremely pale. And I’m not a huge makeup person. Therefore, my blush of choice is light and subtle. So rather than give you an exact recipe, I’m giving you the jumping off point to find your perfect shade. Are you ready?</div>

arrowroot powder<br />hibiscus powder (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008W19X6Q/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008W19X6Q&linkCode=as2&tag=than01-20" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">like this</a>)<br />cinnamon (optional)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">Directions:</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Start with a base of arrowroot powder, about 1 Tbs. Add in the hibiscus powder one teaspoon at a time until you get the desired color. Add cinnamon for a little depth and glow.</div>

<em>*Note: Hibiscus powder gives a nice subtle pink glow, but for some it may seem too subtle. You could also try<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TACSK8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008TACSK8&linkCode=as2&tag=than01-20" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">Alkanet Root powder</a> which has a richer, more reddish, tone. But in either case, add the color gradually. You can always add more arrowroot powder to lighten back up, but if you get too heavy handed you’ll end up with a whole lot of blush on your hand.</em></div>

Why homemade mascara? For some time now my entire makeup routine has been a dab of <a href="http://thankyourbody.com/make-lip-balm/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank" title="Make lip balm! (All natural, of course.)">lip balm</a> and a quick brush of mascara. But I still wondered if these two little “makeup essentials” were really good for me. Being the hippie-lovin’-green-livin’ type gal that I am, I was pretty sure the answer was “no.” And that’s why I’m here to share my all natural homemade mascara recipe with you.</div>
<h2 style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 31px; line-height: 40px; margin: 1em 0px 15px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
What is in mascara anyway?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Mascara dates back to ancient Eygpt. Most formulas contain the same basic elements: pigmentation, oils, and waxes. But most mascaras on the market these days have plenty of other “stuff” lurking about them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Cosmetics are <em>very </em>loosely regulated by the FDA. There is a great deal of freedom for the beauty industry in the formulation of cosmetics. There are some concern for some ingredients found in mascara since they have been found to cause cancer in mice, and others are known to be highly toxic to the human body. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mascara" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">source</a>)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
I’ve been using an organic “all natural” mascara for the past couple of years. In fact, I made the switch long before I <a href="http://thankyourbody.com/hidden-toxins/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank" title="Hidden toxins in your home: Seek and destroy!">ditched all my other toxic beauty products</a>. My old “volumizing” mascara made my eyes red and itchy. Apparently allergic reactions are common with mascara users. These reactions are usually attributed to methylparaben, aluminum powder, ceteareth-20, butylparaben, or benzyl alcohol that are often found in mascaras. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mascara#cite_note-33" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">source</a>)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
But even this (more expensive) organic brand was full of ingredients that I didn’t quite feel safe about. And I’ve been on a “<a href="http://thankyourbody.com/diy-all-natural-care-products/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" title="diy all natural care products">make your own</a>” kick, so why not homemade mascara?<span id="more-2772"></span></div>
<h2 style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 31px; line-height: 40px; margin: 1em 0px 15px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Why I love my homemade mascara</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
My first attempt at homemade mascara wasn’t very impressive. It worked, but it the results were so subtle that it didn’t seem worth the time. I played around with the mixture, added in some <a href="http://amzn.to/15AWvW0" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">beeswax</a>, and am much happier with what I now have. I can’t call it “water proof,” but I haven’t had any unfortunate raccoon eyes… even after a sweaty dance class. (You can always add more beeswax than what I have in the recipe below to get more of a thicker, waterproof mascara.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
This homemade mascara does a great job darkening, separating, and conditioning the lashes. And my eyes feel so much better using it! I probably won’t be asked to model for Maybelline anytime soon, but I think it does the job nicely. :)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
The recipe is really easy. The hardest part is getting it into the blasted tube. If you have a long syringe (<a href="http://amzn.to/191ARFO" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">like this</a>) that would probably be best. But I think I’ve come up with a handy little way to get your homemade mascara where it belongs if you don’t have one. Check it out:</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
* Update: Due to temperature differences you may want to add more beeswax to give more “hold” to your mascara. Keep in mind that coconut oil is a liquid above 75 degrees. I’d increase the beeswax to 3/4 or even 1 tsp if it’s really warm where you live… or if you want more of a “waterproof” mascara.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em>**Activated charcoal can be found in most health food stores or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G7R2WK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001G7R2WK&linkCode=as2&tag=than01-20" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">online</a>. This is <strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">not</strong> the same stuff you use to get your grill going, okay? Also, some people have responded in the comments that activated charcoal might not be good to use close to your eyes. If you’re worried, go with the cocoa powder to be safe.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">Directions:</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
1. Put coconut oil, aloe vera gel, and grated bees wax in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until beeswax is completely melted.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
2. Open 1 – 2 capsules of activated charcoal (depending on desired color, about 1/4 – 1/2 tsp) and pour into oil mixture. Stir until completely incorporated. Remove from heat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
3. Pour into a small plastic bag, pushing the mixture down to one corner. Then cut a very small hole in the opposite corner of the bag.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<a href="http://thankyourbody.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/tipbag.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[2772]" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; border: 0px none; color: #66b98d; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;"><img alt="All natural homemade mascara." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2776" height="431" src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.thankyourbody.com/thankyourbody.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/tipbag.jpg.pagespeed.ce.oU6HwD0DNf.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; line-height: 0; margin: 5px auto; max-width: 100%; transition: all 0.2s linear; vertical-align: middle;" title="All natural homemade mascara." width="650" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
4. Fold the corner with the cut whole until you have a small tip that you can push into the empty mascara tube. (It’s much easier if you have an extra set of hands nearby to hold the tube in place!) Make sure the tip goes far enough into the tube or you’ll have a big mess on your hands!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
5. Keep the small-hole-end securely in the tube (or get your helper to hold it in place). Begin pressing the mascara mixture toward the tube. Don’t move too quickly or it will come out and you’ll have mess to deal with. (I highly recommend doing this with a paper towel or napkin underneath.) Keep moving the mixture into the tube until it’s all in.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
6. Place the inner cap in place and then twist the wand on tightly. Viola! <strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">Homemade mascara!</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<img alt="All natural homemade mascara." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2778" height="431" src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.thankyourbody.com/thankyourbody.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/mascara.jpg.pagespeed.ce.GqmbrdWX1-.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 5px auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="All natural homemade mascara." width="650" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Note: Like all mascaras, it is important that you use this homemade mascara wisely. Proper use of mascara includes disposal of tube and brush after four to six months. Mascara should also be disposed of if found to smell different, strange, or especially pungent. It is unlikely and unusual, but <strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">all </strong>mascara does have the capability to grow bacteria.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Make sure to keep the lid on tightly or this stuff will dry out.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Growing up, I used to not be so proud of my super white skin. I would go tanning and use fake tanner all the time. Not the smartest thing in the world, but my priorities were a little different in high school. As youngsters we kind of have that feeling like nothing bad will ever happen to us. But with skin cancer running in my family I gave up the tanning and embraced my super white girl. (Trying to make myself sound “fly” here… still not working?)</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Even though I’ve excepted and love my naturally white complexion, sometimes I want to have a natural looking glow without looking like “dang girl where have you been?” So taking some items in my pantry I created this simple and all natural tinted moisturizer that can double as a sunless tanner.</div>

</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Directions:</span> Slowly mix coco powder into miracle cream or other natural moisturizer until you reach desired color. I added approximately 1/4 tsp cocoa powder to 4 oz of cream for a very subtle look. Test on the back of your hand or neck. Add more cocoa powder if you want a darker color.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
This is a super easy and inexpensive way to get a “natural” glow. You can use it on your whole body as a sunless tanner! Just allow to dry before putting clothes on.</div>

Here are three fresh and easy mouthwash recipes. | GNOWFGLINS.com" class="aligncenter wp-image-22436" height="429" src="http://gnowfglins-gnowfglins.netdna-ssl.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/all-natural-mouthwash.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 10px; max-width: 100%;" title="Homemade All-Natural Mouthwash" width="700" /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
I like mouthwash. It makes my teeth feel clean and my breath fresh. But I don’t feel comfortable buying the commercial brands. My family and I strive to use <a href="http://adelightfulhome.com/natural-dental-care/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; color: #56992f; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">natural dental care</a>, but it was only recently that I discovered just how easy it can be to make mouthwash.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Happy discovery! It cleans teeth and gums naturally, it’s inexpensive, it’s made from good and simple ingredients that I recognize (no chemicals or unnatural dyes!), <em>and </em>it<em> </em>gives me peace of mind.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
The first mouthwash I’m sharing is a great starter recipe because it only contains two ingredients: water and cloves. Cloves are found in most grocery stores, so anyone can make it.</div>
<h3 style="color: #80695b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 2.8rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Simple Clove Mouthwash</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
A little spicy, it may not be suitable for younger children. On the plus side, it will leave your mouth feeling quite fresh.</div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">1 tablespoon <a href="http://gnowfglins.com/cbulkherbs" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; color: #56992f; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">whole cloves</a></li>
<li style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">1 cup boiling water</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<em>Makes 8 ounces.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Place cloves in a heat-proof container (such as a canning jar). Pour boiling water over cloves. Cover the container with a lid or plate and leave mixture to cool. Once cool, strain out the cloves and pour the clove-infused water into a clean container. Rinse mouth with approximately 1 teaspoon of the mixture. This mouthwash will keep approximately one week.<em><br /></em></div>
<h3 style="color: #80695b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 2.8rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Parsley Mint Mouthwash</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Parsley and mint are helpful in killing bacteria and freshening breath. Since this recipe includes a small amount of vodka, it will last longer than the simple clove mouthwash above.</div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">2 tablespoons fresh parsley</li>
<li style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">2 tablespoons fresh mint</li>

</ul>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for about 2 minutes (or until everything is mixed well). Pour through a strainer to remove any residual herbs. Pour into a clean jar and close tightly with lid. Rinse mouth with 1 tablespoon of mixture.</div>
<h3 style="color: #80695b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 2.8rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Salt Water Rinse</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
A salt water rinse is not a mouthwash per se, but it is especially helpful for healing sore gums and ridding the mouth of bacteria.</div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">1 cup warm water</li>

<em>Makes 8 ounces.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.8rem; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="line-height: 1.5em;"></strong>Mix together the warm water and salt. Gargle and rinse with the mixture.</div>
<h3 style="color: #80695b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 2.8rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Making your own mouthwash is simple. It’s a great way to save money and good step in the direction of all-natural dental care. Have you made your own mouthwash? What is your favorite recipe or tip?</h3>

The addition of water to this recipe makes it squeezable, but also shortens the shelf life. I haven’t been able to test it past a few weeks because we use it so quickly, but it has lasted at least that long at our house. A reader suggested adding vodka in place of the water.</div>

Mix all ingredients except clay in a mini-food processor and mix well to incorporate. Once smooth, slowly add in the bentonite clay and mix by hand with a plastic utensil (bentonite clay should not come in contact with metal). If you don’t have a food processor, you can use an immersion blender or even a whisk/fork in a bowl. Do not use an air-tight blender like a magic bullet as this create too much pressure</div>

Due to the nature of the coconut oil, this homemade toothpaste will be thicker when cooler and thinner when heated but should be a squeezable consistency at normal room temp (70-75 degrees). If it is too runny or too thick, try adding more water or calcium to get desired thickness. Use essential oils to taste.</div>

Likely, you used calcium magnesium in a closed container, which apparently can cause a pressure reaction in certain situations. I recommend mixing my hand or in a container that is not airtight. Magic bullets seems to be the culprit in most cases.</div>

Always check with a dentist before changing a dental routine especially if you have any dental conditions. I personally use this on my kids and on my own teeth with a couple non-amalgam fillings (<a href="http://wellnessmama.com/3650/how-to-remineralize-teeth-naturally/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border-bottom-color: rgb(41, 142, 2); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #298e02; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" title="how to remineralize and heal teeth">before I knew about remineralization</a>).

I personally didn’t have any reactions, but it seems that some people do experience sensitivity for the first couple of weeks of using homemade toothpaste, especially if they’ve been using commercial products for a long time or have had recent fluoride treatments as the clay can bind and pull out toxins. This seems to be less of an issue with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004421K68/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004421K68&linkCode=as2&tag=herbkati-20" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border-bottom-color: rgb(41, 142, 2); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #298e02; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="calcium powder for teeth">calcium powder</a> and seems to resolve itself within a few weeks, but again check with a dentist.</div>

This is largely a matter of opinion. Some studies show that xylitol is good for the teeth, while others show it can be dangerous. It is dangerous to animals, so be very careful to keep it out of the reach of any pets!

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
This recipe works just fine with water, but many people have successfully used vodka in its place to extend the shelf life (it lasts pretty long either way.</div>

Why NO glycerin?</h4>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
There is some evidence that glycerin can coat teeth and prevent them from absorbing minerals. The research definitely seems mixed on this one, but there is no evidence that glycerin is needed or beneficial to the teeth, so it is best avoided. On a personal level, I’ve seen relatives teeth turn brown after using glycerin based toothpaste and return to normal once switching to a different brands.</div>

I have received dozens of emails from people who have used this toothpaste or my regular remineralizing toothpaste and had good results. One reader, Jennifer, backed the idea of using calcium and not calcium magnesium: “I’ve always made it with calcium powder and love it. We bought the calcium magnesium powder this time and it tastes and feels like tingly, bitter metal – and not tingly in a good way. We will stick with the regular calcium carbonate powder.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Tina offered these changes: “I started adding a bit of hydrogen peroxide to mine. That made it squeezable. I do not use the bentonite clay. Instead I use baking soda. I also add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract to mine.There is still the fact that coconut oil is more firm in cooler temps. Thanks for sharing the container information! I have tried using pastry tips with disposable plastic bags.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Melinda adds: “I love this toothpaste recipe and have been using the original but my paste always dries up. I’ll have to play with it more. This recipe really does make my teeth look and feel fantastic. I love it! May have to get a squeezable tube and see how that goes.”</div>

Honestly, I don’t sweat that much.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">TMI?</em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I mean, I wish that I would sweat more (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">as weird as that might sound</em>). Sweating is your body’s natural way of ridding toxins, so it’s really a good thing. On occasion, I do wear deodorant, especially if I know I’ll be in a situation where I’ll likely sweat.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Since I started my *real* journey toward better health from the inside out AND the outside in, I’ve been going through all of my products and eliminating toxic ingredients…things that are bad for me and the environment. <a href="http://www.controlyourimpact.com/articles/deodorants-antiperspirants-and-your-health/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">Here</a> is a simple, easy read regarding deodorant and antiperspirant (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">which I will never use again</em>). I looked at the label on my deodorant at home and was shocked. It was jam packed full of nasty, harmful ingredients. It’s pretty scary, really.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Many deodorants (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">even those that claim to be “all-natural”</em>) contain aluminum &/or aluminum derivatives (as these serve as an antiperspirant…<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">which we do NOT want</span>). This has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and a host of other horrific health concerns. Parabens are in many deodorants…also downright despicable. <a href="http://www.scratchmommy.com/whats-in-your-skincare-products/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" title="What’s In YOUR Skincare Products?">Read this post</a> I wrote a while back to learn more about parabens.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Sooooo, off I went to create my own homemade DIY deodorant recipe. It had to be effective, yet gentle, and (of course) non-toxic.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.scratchmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DeoMain.jpg?6b2415" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;"><img alt="DeoMain" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7601" data-jpibfi-indexer="0" height="333" src="http://www.scratchmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DeoMain.jpg?6b2415" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 2.4rem; max-width: 100%;" width="500" /></a></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: teal; font-size: 14px;">Now, I know what you might be thinking…</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: teal; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Yeah, and there are already about a million other homemade deodorant recipes out there.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Yup, there sure are. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">But now, there are one million and ONE.</em> Hehe.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I am proud of my deodorant because it contains a few ingredients you may not typically see in deodorants and I’m not really sure why.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I’m ready to share it with you. It is effective, said by not only me (the not-so-heavy-sweater), but also by my husband (probably-your-typical-sweater). Oh, and it’s easy, to boot. Yay!</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;">First, a little education about why I am using each ingredient…</span></div>
<hr style="box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px;" />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Coconut & Almond Oils</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Raw, unrefined coconut oil has wonderful antibacterial properties. This is important in those armpits, right? Coconut oil will liquify at 76 degrees; below that and it’s in a semi-solid state. I like to add another oil to help the deodorant stay more fluid, if you would. Enter almond oil.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
I’ve already written a bit about almond (and coconut and jojoba) oil <a href="http://www.scratchmommy.com/jojoba-almond-coconut-oils-gifts/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" title="Jojoba, Almond, & Coconut Oils – Gifts!">here</a>. You’ll see below that you can easily substitute a different oil that is liquid at room temp oil, but I really like almond oil.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Shea Butter</span></span></span>This is another one of those amazing things that nature gives us. Raw and unrefined shea butter is high in vitamins A and E and is incredibly soothing for your skin. Sounds like a good thing to put in such a vulnerable place, like your armpits, huh!? You can read more about shea butter <a href="http://hugatreewithme.com/3/post/2013/05/the-benefits-of-raw-shea-butter.html" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;">Beeswax</span></span></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Raw beeswax (all-natural, unrefined, no additives, etc.) helps to stabilize this recipe so it isn’t runny. Beeswax is another inherently excellent choice in skincare products, as it does not clog pores, but it does help the moisturizing properties of the butters and oils in this recipe to ‘lock’ into your skin so they can do their jobs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;">Arrowroot Powder</span></span></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This is a go-to for deodorant recipes, for good reason. Actually, I always have some on hand for both food and skincare recipes. Arrowroot not only helps to serve as a thickener in this deodorant, but it also has the power to help draw out toxins. Sweet! Since when we sweat we are eliminating toxins, why not help draw them out!? Learn more about arrowroot <a href="http://girlmeetsnourishment.com/arrowroot-vs-cornstarch/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: underline;">Diatomaceous Earth (DE)</span></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Here’s where things may really get a bit different than what you typically see in homemade deodorant recipes. Food grade DE is another super thing to keep around your home. I use DE in my toothpaste, garden, once to rid my house of a few fleas, as a means to exfoliate, etc etc etc!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
DE is almost entirely silica, which is a crucial trace element needed by our bodies, and one in which many are deficient. By adding DE into your homemade deodorant, you are giving your sensitive skin a nice dose of DE (essentially, silica) which helps with sensitive areas of skin that might become rashy and it also helps to draw out toxins.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
So, not only does DE help draw out moisture and remove toxins, but it also helps to ease sensitive skin. Win! You can read more about DE <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/039326_diatomaceous_earth_detox_mercury.html" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">here</a>. Oh, and remember to purchase<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">food grade</em> DE (and don’t breathe it in…best not to get it into your lungs as it is super finely ground stuff).</div>

Oh, and Lavender has some super qualities for skincare (read about essential oils in a post I wrote <a href="http://www.scratchmommy.com/essential-oils-101/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a9cc60; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="Essential Oils 101">here</a>). I’ve also used Tea Tree EO, as it also has great antibacterial qualities. Remember though, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">less is more with EO</em>!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The consistency of this lovely deodorant is firm, yet extremely spreadable. I use my finger to dip out a SMALL amount (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">seriously…you really do not need much</em>) and just rub it into my armpits. I have not tried this in a roll-on stick, but I do believe it will work, as it is of similar consistency to those that are in roll-ons (but mine is much more smooth and it feels…well, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">more real</em>, I guess because it is). If you try this in a roll-on, please stop back by and let me know.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: teal;">And there you have it. Think you’ll give it a try? Let me know when you do! Until next time…</span></div>

One of my favorite beauty recipes to make is Whipped Shea Body Butter. This luxuriously whipped moisturizing creation instantly penetrates your skin and provides long-lasting protection and moisture. You may choose your favorite liquid oil, but I recommend you try Kukui Nut Oil which has high penetrability and soothing properties and can help soothe chapped skin as it contains high levels of the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic. Great for dry skin, psoriasis, eczema and sensitive skin. Choose your favorite blend of Essential Oils or leave it "naked" and enjoy the natural scent of the unrefined Shea and Cocoa butters. </div>

Gather your ingredients (I use <a href="http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/index.php?AID=121661" style="color: #4d469c; text-decoration: none;">Mountain Rose Herbs</a> products). Cocoa butter is really hard and is sometimes tricky to break into chunks, be careful!!!</div>

Just for fun, I like to place the body butter in a piping bag, snip the end and pipe it into my containers. Make sure to use your body butter within 60 days. Keep in a cool and dark place. Hot temperatures will cause it to melt. I like to keep a batch in the fridge during Summer. Just make sure you clearly label your container. </div>

So today I decided to <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff9900;">put “the baby” down</span></span> for a nap and <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000;">MAKE</span></span> some time for this.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">

Mixing up the ingredients was a SNAP. Just three ingredients that you mix with a spoon. No heat required.</div>

After I mixed it up, I decided I would be really smart and put it in a plastic baggie so that I could “pipe” it onto my hair. I <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff9900;">THOUGHT</span></span> this would be less messy, but it really wasn’t. So I wouldn’t bother with this step next time. I’d just use my hands and glop it on that way. Either way it’s a little messy…but nothing that a little soap and water won’t wash right up.</div>

So I ended up fashioning a turban of sorts out of plastic wrap! Now that was quite the sight! lol. I toyed with the idea of taking a picture of <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #339966;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">my plastic-wrapped head</span></span>…but I just couldn’t bring myself to. ;-)</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000;">Once your head is appropriately shrink-wrapped</span></span>, then you’re supposed to apply heat with a hair dryer. I did this for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then you leave the conditioner on for 15 to 30 minutes. I got distracted by something (big surprise!) and ended up keeping it on about 45 minutes. After that I hopped in the shower and shampooed and conditioned as usual.</div>

As I got out of the shower I wasn’t sure I could tell any difference while my hair was still wet…but by the time I was done drying my hair…<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366ff;">I definitely noticed a difference!</span></span> My hair felt much smoother and looked shinier. All afternoon I kept running my fingers over my hair because I wasn’t used to it FEELING so nice. I even snapped a picture so you could see my mostly gray hair looking <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff9900;">extra smooth and shiny</span></span>. (Which, as you know if you<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">have</span></span> gray hair, is quite a<br />

Make sure all ingredients are room temperature —the coconut oil should be rich and thick.<br />
Measure the coconut oil into a bowl and stir well. The heat from the mixing will give the oil a smooth texture.<br />
Add the jojoba oil and continue to stir until the mixture is even and well-combined.<br />
Add the essential oil.

Stir all the ingredients together until they form a thick, oily mixture.<br />
Apply to the hair from roots to ends, paying particular attention to any dry areas.<br />
Cover hair with a plastic bag or shower cap and use a hair dryer to warm the hair. Leave on for 15-30 minutes.<br />
Wash and condition hair as usual. Use it once a week for the fullest benefits.</div>

If you’re going to wake up and smell the coffee, you might as well go all out and incorporate the coffee into every aspect of your morning. I know you’ve got the drinkable coffee bit handled (and if you don’t I’m afraid I can’t be of much help), so I’m going to introduce you to latté soap/shampoo. Now you can have coffee in the shower without worrying about watering it down or getting scalding coffee burns in awkward places.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="13-01-11-pic03" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4159" src="http://www.humblebeeandme.com/wp-content/uploads/13-01-11-pic03.jpg" height="332" style="border: 0px; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /><span id="more-3669"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Because I wanted milk and coffee swirls, this soap got tricky. This is because the coffee and the milk would usually be the bases of the soaps, not add-ins. They’re what you mix the lye into. So I could make two separate batches of soap, and combine them in the mould. Or, I could not. What a pain in the butt.</div>
<br />
<figure aria-labelledby="figcaption_attachment_4160" class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_4160" style="-webkit-box-shadow: black 0px 0.7em 1.5em -14px; background: rgb(240, 240, 240); box-shadow: black 0px 0.7em 1.5em -14px; clear: both; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px auto 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 4px 14px 4px 4px; text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img alt="Whole milk powder and white kaolin clay." class="size-full wp-image-4160" src="http://www.humblebeeandme.com/wp-content/uploads/13-01-11-pic01.jpg" height="332" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 5px 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 500px;" width="500" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="figcaption_attachment_4160" style="color: #006a80; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetia, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 17px 5px 14px;">Whole milk powder and white kaolin clay, for the milk half.</figcaption></figure><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
So, a quick work-around was in need, and it appeared in the form of powdered milk and instant coffee, because I could add powders after dividing the final, traced batch into halves. Then I could swirl everything together, and it would be wonderful!</div>
<br />
<figure aria-labelledby="figcaption_attachment_4161" class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_4161" style="-webkit-box-shadow: black 0px 0.7em 1.5em -14px; background: rgb(240, 240, 240); box-shadow: black 0px 0.7em 1.5em -14px; clear: both; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px auto 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 4px 14px 4px 4px; text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img alt="Instant coffee and course rhassoul clay, for the coffee part." class="size-full wp-image-4161" src="http://www.humblebeeandme.com/wp-content/uploads/13-01-11-pic02.jpg" height="332" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 5px 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 500px;" width="500" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="figcaption_attachment_4161" style="color: #006a80; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetia, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 17px 5px 14px;">Instant coffee and course rhassoul clay, for the coffee part.</figcaption></figure><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
I also added clay, for it’s general awesomeness. I mixed white kaolin clay into the milk half of the soap, and brown rhassoul into the coffee half. The general rule of thumb when adding clay to soap is 1 tbsp per 500g of oils, so you’ll need to split that amount between the two kinds of clay.</div>

You’ll want a fairly light trace, something just a bit thicker than coffee (though I found this recipe thickened quite quickly—if it decides you’re not getting a thin trace, just be sure to do some good swirling in the mould with your spatula). Add the essential oils to the entire batch and then divide it in two. To one, add the milk powder and kaolin clay, and to the other add the rhassoul and the coffee powder.</div>

Swirl together in your prepared mould, let set for 24 hours, slice, and age. Voila!</div>

Being around essential oils all day has spoiled me. I want everything to have the rich, vibrant scent of real botanical extracts. Department store and drugstore products often don’t smell “quite right” to me, so I’ve turned to concocting my own versions of body washes, skin oils, linen sprays — you name it, I’ve probably tried to make it.</div>

This body wash is a particular favorite of my boyfriend, and I <del style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">steal</del> borrow it all the time for myself. It is the perfect combination of herbal, citrus, and minty fragrances, and it REALLY gives you a boost during your morning shower. Plus, it’s super-easy to make. Below are the ingredients you will need to make your own. All of these items can be found at your local health food store or Whole Foods. The ingredients might seem pricey, but you can make several batches from this, and a little goes a long way! Feel free to play with the number of essential oil drops – some people like a lighter scent (I like mine strong!):</div>

Note: If you prefer a thicker or foamier texture, you can add a bit of vegetable glycerin or aloe vera gel to this blend.
