What is that smell? No. No way. It can’t be that woman can it? Does she smell like poop? My gosh. Her body can’t possibly be producing that awful stench. Or can it? That's body odor? Wait. Do I Smell Like Poop? No topic if off limits here as I have covered some pretty sensitive ones. I mean, if you can’t talk about odors “down under” then why talk at all? Why Do I Smell Like Poop? I joke. But in all seriousness, body odor is a very sensitive topic and one that people do not ... continue reading...

Homemade Chocolate Pumpkin Butter Cups
Pumpkin everything ... it's that time of year! November is already flying by quickly, but fall weather is just starting here in Northern California. The leaves are finally starting to turn beautiful shades of crimson red, orange and yellow and some are just starting to fall.

How To Use Coconut Oil For Parasites
“MOMMMMMMM! There is a worm coming out of my butt!” Thank goodness I have NEVER heard this from the lips of my child. I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Not that a parasitic infection in a child is out of the ordinary. SEEING a parasite would be more unusual that actually having an infestation. Before we get to how to use coconut oil for parasites, we need to talk a little bit about these critters. Pinworms, tapeworms, roundworms... all the intentional worms! You see, parasites ... continue reading...
My Experience With Toxic Mold and A Haunted House (Or Three)
Quite some time ago, my friend Emily and I were having a discussion about weird happenings in moldy houses. Specifically, we were pontificating on our spider and ant problems. We dealt with something far beyond your normal seasonal insect issues. We both had nonstop massive invasions. And we both had toxic mold. Shortly after, Andrea from It Takes Time shared a post about moldy homes being haunted. I read that post about a dozen times. I felt vindicated finally. Not just because we had ... continue reading...
Coconut Oil For Erectile Dysfunction

Ever since my 333 Uses For Coconut Oil post went viral, my male audience has emailed me time and time again, asking for more information about coconut oil for erectile dysfunction. We aren’t talking about “too stressed out to make it work today” dysfunction. Or “baby is crying in the other room and my wife is distracted by it” dysfunction. No, we are talking about true erectile dysfunction. The type that tags along with aging, medical issues, ... continue reading...
Gluten Free, Grain Free Sourdough Bread With A Twist
Thanks to my mold fiasco and resulting health issues, I hadn't had sourdough bread (or any bread for that matter) in years. I really can’t remember exactly how long it had been. Maybe 5 years? Sure, I made coconut flour based breads but they had so many eggs that they never were able to reach that “sandwich bread” consistently I sometimes missed. They certainly never came close to sourdough bread. In 2015 I met my dear friend Andrea from It Takes Time and she whipped up a batch of gluten ... continue reading...
Gluten Free, Grain Free Sourdough Starter
I adore a good sourdough. However trying to find a gluten free, grain free version can be tough. I knew my friend Andrea from It Takes Time created a rather popular sourdough recipe and I decided to play around with it. Andrea’s base flour choices are probably more recognizable than mine but I have such a love affair with Tigernut flour that I decided to give it a whirl! The results were fantastic! This gluten free grain free sourdough starter was full of bubbly, fermented ... continue reading...

Does Coconut Oil Clog Pipes?
So you’ve been using coconut oil for a while now. You wash with it, slather it all over your body, brush your teeth with it, cook with it, you even polish your furniture with it. You love this stuff and can’t get enough. After all, it is amazingly beneficial for you, the environment, your pets, your plants, and your stuff.
