#FeedaBee!!!

Hey guys!

I am always trying to give back to our planet and my community! I feel that God has blessed us with a beautiful planet and it is our responsibility as Christians to see that our God given resources are not wasted! I think that small efforts as just as important (or more important) as the big efforts we make. I believe that if we all do small things to make change (and/or progress). We can make a difference.

A great opportunity to do small effort with a big impact is to order free seeds from http://feedabee.com/ . They will send you seeds and once winter decides it is actually over, you can plant them. They are wild flowers that will look great in your garden and do great things for the environment as well! So order you seeds and #feedabee!

Just by making this Facebook post I got ten people on my friends list to order seeds as well! That is 11 people making an effort to change the world. Small things do matter!

Metabolism Booster Drink THAT DOESN'T SUCK!!



One glass a day before coffee and you will see results. Also great to drink before a work out. 

So this drink has a little bit more calories than other detox drinks but works just as well and has flavor. 

Drink Mix: 

1/4 cup grapefruit juice
1 small orange (I use halos because I like them better)
1 lemon
Fill container 2/3 of the way with water
1/3 cup of cranberry ( I used cran-pom)
Add 5 black berries 
Seriously try it for a week and you will notice a difference. 
At least once a day. You see how small that glass is! Let me know!

Ultimate DIY Anti-Aging Face Mask

Super awesome, super easy, great results and lasts for five days. You can use daily and I would recommend. 

Recipie:

1 whole avocado
1 egg
2 table spoons of turmeric
3 drops lavender oil
2 table spoons of honey
3 table spoons of lime juice
2 table spoons of ginger
3 table spoons of rose water

The mask is awesome makes your face super soft, I recommend using a food processor to mix the ingredients.
It looks like guacamole but don't eat it! 
Apply to your face till it looks like this and leave on for ten-fifteen mins before getting into the shower. And like I said use daily!!! 
(You do not need to cover your face in goop it does not make it more or less effective. Your face will look green though you can't tell from the pic)

Charity Miles

Seriously guys this is more a public service announcement. Charity Miles is am amazing app that allows you to do a good thing while you do every day things!
Took my dog Harley for a walk and look at all the good we did just by remembering to turn on an app. 




The Cut The Crap Detox Bath!


So I am total advocate for preventive medicine and that is what is so fantastic about this (and all) detox baths! This particular formula is perfect for when you feel gross. Whether its because you ate at too many fast food (or other crap) too many days in a row or because you have had a migraine for a few days. It also helps boost immune system and makes your skin super soft. 


Recipie:

So ALL detox baths have the same base:
1/4 baking soda
1/4 Apple Cider (or white) vinegar
1/4 Epsom Salt
1/4 Hydrogen Peroxide

^^^^^^ This is the base that actually is pulling the toxins from your body. Everything else you add into the bath is for your personal health benefits. So please mix and match and send in because I would love to hear other formulas!!!

For the Cut the Crap formula:

4 tablespoons of Rose water (if you do not know how to make rose water I have the instructions here)
4 drops of Lavender oil (you can add as much or little as you like)
1/3 cup of Bee Pollen ( I got mine from a local Native American Pow Wow but there are plenty of options, you can also use honey but I don't because I am the one who will have to clean it when I get out)
1/3 cup of fresh Lavender (you can use more oil but that stuff is expensive)
4 table spoons of Cinnamon
3 table spoons of ginger (you can use fresh but remember you have to clean it)

Once you are done the bath will look like this:

When you get out it will look like this: 



Yeah its nasty but remember that nasty is what is coming off of you. I love it for migraines! I also recommend to get into the bath feet first. The bath needs to be as hot as you can stand it. Let your feet soak and get used to the heat. Then put your hands in and then lower the rest of your body. Trust me it works!

The Post Virus Cleaner.








 Spring cleaning has begun and like always it is much needed. This is a recipe I use to deep clean my fixtures, shower, toilet, and kitchen sink! This is a strong recipe, I would recommend wearing  gloves. It is dirt cheap and gets the job done. This is not a recipe for everyday cleaning! This is a recipe for something you should do once a month max. This is to sterilize and make sure it is clean. A great cleaning tool if a stomach virus is going around your house. The container should be used for mixing chemicals only and so should the spoon. I save all of my old jars to make these and then I can send to recycling center so it can be reused again! If you're like me and want to make your cleaning supplies full time, I would recommend going to goodwill, salvation army, and invest in a pot just to mix things.

This is being made in an old tomato sauce jar.



 1/4 cup of Bleach!




 If you are like me and buy lemon juice in a bottle (another great investment btw), two good squeezes (count two Mississippis for each one). Or approx. half a lemon.

3 Table Spoons of rubbing Alcohol. 
Then do about 2 table spoons of blue dawn. It doesn't matter technically. But I don't trust another brand. 
And in this pic you can see there is witch hazel. You can add a table spoon. It is not required I put it in because my grandma used it for everything so its habit. 

Seriously Check out all the things you can clean: 

Kitchen Sink:

Before:


 My Sink has begun to flake by the drain, this cleaner lifts that flakey stuff. If you have a sink you do not want the following to happen I would recommend not scrubbing or soaking,

After:


Toilet: works great! Gets stains out too if you can let it soak. I have no after pic because my hubby used the bathroom while it was soaking. But you guys will see for yourselves. 


Shower fixtures:



So the dryer sheet trick really does work and I take a rag and rub cleaner on the fixtures and then I scrub with dryer sheet.
