This Week's Recommendations

Silver in your toothpaste? YES! The antimicrobial properties kills bacteria causing plaque, bad breath, and decay. However, it won't start foaming like you are use to because  it is free from SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) which is the foaming agent found in most popular toothpastes and a potential carcinogen (yup, cancer!). A great option for those with sensitive mouths.

Time to dump that colored beverage packed with electrolytes that you thought you needed for hydration. Those drinks are packed with sugar, carbs, and artifical gunk. Celtic salt is pure sodium and contains trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. While store bought beverages use sugar and sodium to speed up water absorption into the bloodstream, celtic salt uses its natural minerals. Put a pinch into your water bottle or sprinkle over avocado slices, salad, or a sandwich after an intense workout!

I'm an ardent fan of 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Oils for the face and body. I have really done away with most creams and lotions, even the high-end ones costing hundreds of dollars. Evening Primrose Oil was the first alternative to expensive face creams that I introduced to my skincare routine over 20 years ago, and it's still one of my daily musts. It has a high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) an essential Omega-6 fatty acid. It helps to calm skin redness, swelling, and irritation associated with acne, rosacea, and eczema. It also supports the skins natural cell turnover cycle while enhancing elasticity and firmness. This oil used on a regular basis will definitely give you that " I just got a facial" look.

Applying magnesium topically can relieve muscle soreness, improve sleep, reduce stress, headaches, and boost your blood levels if you have a deficiency. If you have trouble sleeping, massage some lotion or spray on your feet and enjoy a good night's rest. I can't say enough about Life-Flo. Clean ingredients and unscented.

Next time you are at the grocery store, pick up a leaf of aloe vera. The benefits of applying fresh aloe topically are endless. For only a few bucks, the gooey liquid under the skin can be applied to face and body to moisturize, reduce acne, fight aging, sunburn, lighten blemishes, treat eczema and psoraisis. I even use the liquid as a dry shampoo. Just rub a dime full onto the scalp and hair and blow dry. Instant volume naturally!  And NO, I do not recommend anything green claiming to have aloe in a plastic bottle! 

Batana Oil is the chemical free answer to your hair growth needs. From the rainforests of Honduras and Central America this oil is packed with fatty acids, Vitamin A and E, and antioxidants. Just small amount massaged into your scalp and hair a few times a week will promote hair growth, repair damaged hair, and condition your hair without the heaviness of castor or avocado oil.
