Underarm odor is in the top five embarrassing body odors. (Odors downtown, farts, bad breath, and decaying flesh round out this group.) The thing is, there are ways to get rid of underarm odor without the use of deodorizing products. Before I get into the goodness of keeping things fresh in the armpit department, let me touch on something pretty important. Pits are a detox pathway. They have a lot of active sweat glands. Sweat is a good thing. It is the body’s way of getting bad stuff out. ... continue reading...
Easy Coconut Milk Rice Pudding
We don’t eat a lot of grains in our house. White rice and millet are about the only two grains that sneak in once in a while. When I do make rice, I typically just serve it plain. But lately, Tiny has been asking for rice pudding. I have no idea where she learned about it but I decided to oblige and create my version of rice pudding using coconut milk, coconut oil, and some other goodies. The results were delicious. I steer clear of all grains but couldn’t help myself! This was really, ... continue reading...

Motion Sickness Remedies
I was a parent’s worst nightmare as a child. I was the extreme definition of a ‘motion sickness.’ Swinging on swings, merry-go-rounds, even teeter-totters would send me into a fit of salivation and nausea. Car rides? Yeah – not pretty. Even a drive around the corner to the store was an adventure. My parents pretty much had to drug me to get me from point A to point B. I could manage short drives if I sat in the front seat and looked straight ahead, perfectly silent and not moving a muscle. ... continue reading...
Coconut Oil For Prostate Health (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
Prostate enlargement, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is extremely common in men as they age. Prostate enlargement can start after the age of 40 and becomes more common as men get older. It affects nearly all men, though some men do not have any symptoms even though their prostate may have started to grow larger. More than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90% of men in their seventies and beyond exhibit some symptoms of prostate enlargement. What is the prostate? The ... continue reading...
Salted Chocolate Buttercream Soft Fudge
I shared my Whipped Mousse recipe disaster turned miracle last week and promised you that I would divulge my next creation soon. Well, here it is. In reality, I did not make two separate batches of the botched recipe. I actually poured out half of my original chocolate soup and simply popped it into the freezer and made soft fudge out of it while I turned the rest into the Whipped Chocolate Buttercream Mousse. But the result was sooooooo incredible that I decided to make a full blown recipe ... continue reading...
Natural Pest Control for Spiders
If you have arachnophobia, you do NOT want to come for a visit at my house. At least not right now. My yard looks like something out of a horror movie – spider webs in and around EVERY bush, tree, flower, and vegetable. At night, they come out and fling their webs around in a showcase of web building prowess. Who they are trying to impress is beyond me. All I know is that I get wrapped up in more than one web per day, usually one that stretches the length of a football field. (Not ... continue reading...
How To Tackle Unpleasant Odors South of the Border (AKA Vaginal Odor)
What on earth is THAT smell wafting up from your nether regions? Now THAT is NOT what you ever want to have someone tell you. Am I right? I mean, not only is vaginal odor embarrassing and makes you self-conscious but it can definitely ruin the mood if you catch my drift. No one wants to offend “down there.” When I was in high school, I remember girls teasing each other for smelling like something akin to what you might find swimming in the ocean. You all know what I'm referring to. The ... continue reading...
Fried Dandelions + Candied Dandelions
When I think of springtime in my youth, I always picture myself at about 6 years old, laying in the grass, blowing the seedy tops of dandelions up towards the blue sky. We lived in a desert area so these precious treasures were few and far between. Whenever I stumbled upon one, I would savor the moment, watching the seeds fly off in every direction. Little did I know that 30+ years later, I would be frying up the yellow dandelion flowers and eating them as a side dish or adding the fresh ... continue reading...
10 Hobbies For Families With Young Children
I grew up in a household of hobbyists. My dad is a fisherman, a hunter, and skilled cribbage player, chef, gardener, and bowler. My mom is an avid reader, pianist, flutist, singer, sewer, cross-stitcher, macramé creator, Ikebana flower arranger, Haiku writer, and so much more. I vacillated between all of my parents' hobbies as I truly loved everything they did in addition to taking up my own hobbies like Karate, dance, playing piano & keyboard, painting, and writing. As a family, we loved to ... continue reading...
Homemade Gemstone Elixirs – Capture the Vibes of Mother Earth
Did you know that everything, I mean absolutely everything on this planet (including you, me, and the Earth itself), has a vibrational frequency? In fact, scientifically speaking (and this one will blow your mind), that is how everything exists in the first place, as we are all REALLY just light vibrating at a specific frequency...in the grand scheme of things that means that everything that seems solid is really just pure energy vibrating at a specific speed to hold it's shape. Doesn't that ... continue reading...
5 Buzzworthy Natural Insect Repellent Ideas
When you're having a fancy garden party at the height of mosquito season, would you rather: a) Douse guests in a toxic cloud of commercial bug spray as they walk through the door; b) Forgo the bug spray in favor of sending guests home with bug bites that looks like some form of the pox; or c) Stylishly decorate to repel insects with plants and other safe materials, and offer guests a subtle, non-toxic, natural insect repellent to help ward off bites. If your answer is A or B, move ... continue reading...
