Homemade Toothpaste

Homemade Toothpaste

Call me hippie, granola, whatever you wish BUT I love me some all natural, homemade, wholesome, healthy, products! I've been oil pulling for quite awhile now (find out more here from Wellness Mama ) in addition to making my own toothpaste. I feel like I've finally found an amazing recipe for toothpaste that really works SO here ya go:

1. 2 TBS baking soda
2. 1\2 TBS coconut oil
3. 1\2 TBS peroxide
4. pinch of pink himalayan sea salt
5. 1-2 drops peppermint extract

Quick & Easy Sauerkraut

What do ya do with all that extra pickle juice after you've eaten all the pickles? Make sauerkraut of course!

I like to find a quick easy way of doing things & since I had all this cabbage (don't judge us; we're a cabbage eating family) and of course a whole half jar of pickle juice after pulling out the last pickle, I decided some sauerkraut is just what we needed.

Just shred it up and throw it in that pickle juice. It's krautie (my own word) after about a week.

Fermented veggies are SOOOOOO good for you! More on that to come ;-)

This is day 2 of my 10 day juice cleanse.  For the first 4 days I'll be drinking this yummy Green Goodness that I picked up from Wal-Mart.  I'm making sure to get my exercise still. Yesterday I did a 15 min. cardio/strength combo work-out and today I went over to the gym and took a 1 hr. Pilates class. I feel great! Now off the homeschool my sweeties. ~Amy
