Island Fresh Coconut Oil - OMG!

The owner of Island Fresh - Mark Anderson blessed me with this oh so generous 54 fl oz organic, virgin, cold-pressed, non-gmo, unrefined coconut oil. The product arrived packed snugly. Anyone who complains that their item arrives leaking is honestly just simply lying! The seal was so tight as well as the cap that I had to get my husband to help out and open it and he struggled. This type of packaging ensures that this item is pure and untouched from any oxygen which would alter its freshness.

I love the simple approach this small company employs in regard to the labeling. I also appreciate the design of their website http://www.island-fresh.com/ . Good health does not have to be complicated!

The taste! OMG! Fresh coconuty, just a tad unctuous. I started out taking one tablespoon before bed. I have to tell you that my digestion (sparing you the details) has been better and I prefer this in place of fiber at night. Taking some oil before bedtime helps my liver out and is better than dessert! Google the benefits of coconut oil - guaranteed that your findings will be ala Bubba shrimp... 

I gave this oil to my dog on a dinner plate. It was gone lickety split! And I also scooped some into a glass Ball jar. Now when she sees me pick up the jar she comes a runnin'. She thinks I am going to feed it to her, but I apply it to her skin as she tends to have dry skin. As soon as I apply it she is licking it off! The benefits are twofold.

Since I have just been diagnosed with hypothryroidism (with supplementation I dodged the "Armour Thyroid" meds bullet) I was interested in coconut oil as thyroid support as mentioned on the label. 

I liked applying the oil to my hair (yummy smell), but found it was a bit too oily even after I shampooed it. However, this item is a great after shower moisturizer! I have added to a glass cosmetic jar and use it in place of expensive lotions which I have found even though gluten free, and contained wonderfully beneficial plant-based ingredients - just don't do much for my suntanned skin.

I could sing praises of Island Fresh Coconut Oil all day long long into the night. This jar has a special place in my kitchen away from heat and light. It proudly waits for me to open it and enjoy throughout the day. I will be a consumer of this product for a very long time. Thank you, Island Fresh!!!

Lavender Essential Oil by Elrique Naturals

I grew up with a garden-loving Mom. She grew lavender in our backyard. She would snip it in the warm months and then let it dry and crush it. I remember placing the fragrant buds in a glass bowl and smelling it all year long. Looking back now, this was a wonderful fragrant blessing to have in my yard! Living in Florida now, no lavender will grow here. But - - I can still enjoy it all the time via fragrant blends as well as Lavender Essential oil all by itself as it does not need a carrier oil in order to apply to your skin. This oil is my favorite!

For this product testing, I made homemade laundry detergent (email for me for the "recipe"). Since the detergent is not that smellylicious (my own word), I needed to find a natural way to scent the detergent without a residue or artificial scent. Every load of wash after filling the soap tray, I add 4 drops of Elrique Naturals Lavender Essential Oil. It is the perfect scent and better than "Mrs. Meyers" lavender soap and it costs not even pennies per load!

I make my own body products as well as household products not only to save money, but also for convenience and health. You do not need a lot of time to get organized in your laundry room or your bathroom to begin a healthier lifestyle.

Elrique Naturals has made it easy to begin saving and enjoying a healthier lifestyle. I recommend this product because it has 1 ingredient which is 100% pure lavender.  I could write many blog entries about how to enjoy lavender essential oil (ala Bubba in Forest Gump)...

I may not ever successfully grow lavender in my backyard as long as I live in sunny South Florida, but I can head to my laundry room or bathroom any hour of the day and inhale it's fragrant goodness. I just don't tell anyone that I am always thrown back to my teens standing in the Jersey grass in my bare feet next to the above-ground pool when inhale this oil. Life is good! Lavender always puts a smile on my face and now a familiar fragrance in my laundry room. Find your signature "fragrance" today!

Clear Scential by HealthBizDirect, Inc: Best Essential Oil To Diffuse!

This has been a truly enjoyable product to review! I test drove this synergistic blend of Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Sweet Basil, Spearmint, Lavender, Ginger Root, Ravensara, Cinnamon Leaf, Lemongrass in two distinct ways.

I have 4 cats and a dog. I am always looking to refresh my living room, which is the main room in which all 7 beating hearts congregate (humans included). Many times I have little time to clean and scrub. I don't mind sharing my secrets to make the house seem cleaner than what it really is. I spray bleach into the toilets and let this super disinfectant sit a bit. I don't know what it is about bleach, but the whole house some how seems so much cleaner! Anyways, in place of bleach, Scential Health Clear Scential in a diffuser or 3-4 drops in 12 oz of distilled water and sprayed in place of chemical air freshener - is truly delightful!

Lavender and Lemongrass are clearly on the forefront of this yummy essential oil when added to another liquid. I do not detect Ginger Root or Cinnamon Leaf. Because of the Lemongrass and herbaceous ingredients, this is the perfect essential oil to add to distilled water for a counter spray!

Peppermint is the prevalent scent if you twist off the top and breathe in deeply. Oh my goodness! How wonderful is Clear Scential. I have not come across an essential oil which is so versatile and has so many facets. Breathing in deeply this essential oil can enhance mental alertness.

I cannot get enough of this unique essential oil! SCENTIAL HEALTH Essential Oils Are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils SCENTIAL HEALTH Essential Oils Contain No Fillers, Additives, Bases Or Additives.

Body Mind & Health: Discovering God's Solutions for Total Health by Monte Kline, PH.D.

This anointed work by author Monte Kline PH.D was an interesting, helpful and eye-opening read from beginning to end. I appreciated Scripture throughout. I respect an author who does not merely state something as true, but refers to the Bible for Truth. Well done!

As I seem to always be on some kind of cleanse, naturally (no pun intended!) my favorite chapter was Chapter 3 Cleansing That Purifies. At a church we used to attend, every January would be Daniel Fast month. Like clockwork, the saints followed the 21-day Daniel Fast but did not take probiotics during the cleanse. Oh my goodness! I am so grateful that a friend pointed out to me why everyone was sick in bed the following month.

Yes, everyone looked quite holy and lost a few lbs. but it was a very brief mountaintop experience. Actually, 4 members under the age of 45, had to have their gallbladders removed after the 3rd diet. Toxins are now a reality as well as a decrease in digestive enzymes. Dr. Kline wisely points out so many necessities for our good health in this chapter.

My all-time favorite tip for natural sunscreen is in Chapter 5. Broccoli and Green Tea? Who knew?! D3 is so important and after reading this book, I can tell you that D3 proudly sits on my kitchen counter now.

Chapter 12 is basically an altar call. I could read this chapter every day! This chapter is so inspiring. For this reason, this book could be presented to groups of all denominations. I would pass this book along to a health conscious un-churched person. I may never get him/her to meet me at church, but I can bring church to them in Body Mind & Health!

You can find so many products and resources for healthy living in the Footnotes section. For this reason alone, this is an invaluable book for any library.

The author is all about the question. I really appreciate his provoking me to research, to dig and want to know more. I feel Christians (from my experience) tend to put western doctors on a pedestal. A doctor says to take a pill and they take a pill. A doctor says to get an operation so an operation is performed. Where is God in this decision making? More questions need to be asked. Some women in my small circle know now that I do not take drugs unless I am on life support or in extreme pain. Sometimes information is shared about an antibiotic being taken, etc. and I actually witness a hush as I begin listening. I am not judging, but I pray that Christians can take the blinders off when it comes to taking care of our temple! I know my mere presence during these chats can be slightly irritating. Oh well!

I cannot say enough about this amazing book. Please visit the author's website www.pacifichealth.com. You need this book! I will not even loan mine out. It is that good and so much more!

Wellness Scential by HealthBizDirect Inc.

Sweet Basil, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Ginger Root, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Orange, Peppermint, and Ravensara - blended goodness in a bottle. This essential is a one-of-a kind spa in an amber bottle! 

Upon twisting off the top, I immediately inhaled an indescribable scent. I have never smelled Ravensara, so I do not know if the Ravensara was the predominant essential oil in this blend - but I loved it. First, I added 4 drops to my diffuser. As the essential oil filled the air, the predominant note was clearly Eucalyptus.

Because ginger root is great for digestion, lavender my favorite flower and lemon a great tonic, I applied a few drops to the palm of my hand, rubbed to warm and applied to the soles of my feet and then put on thin linen socks.....the scent wafted up through the thin sheets (it's hot here in sunny S. Florida so we sleep in skinny sheets). I felt refreshed in the morning and pampered. Essential oils on the soles of your feet is a wonderful way to enjoy any oil. Because Scential Health essential oil contain no fillers or additives, they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. What does this mean? You can apply it topically with full confidence that it will be good for you!

I intend to keep this bottle handy. I also like to unscrew the cap and just - - - inhale! There is something so simple yet so satisfying about taking a deep breath but it is a double blessing to inhale Wellness Scential!
