I read an aticle that Claudia emailed me last year about Peroxide vs. Bleach. The article claim that bleach was developed as part of the military chemical weapon arsenl in the 1940s before World WarII. Peroxide(H202) on the other hand was brought into use earlier in the 1920s during World WarI as a non-toxic solution to clean hospitals and provide sanitary needs for the troops. The artical went on to say that peroxide was better for cleaning, disinfected, healing of wounds, mouthwash, laundry and etc. Claudia and I decided to put this to the test. Both of us had a bottle of peroxide, as most people do in their homes. The first thing that excited me about using peroxide was the low cost and through this article you will see how much money can be saved. There are so many different products, this product will replace and you can buy a gallon of peroxide for under $2.00. That is priceless in it self! Starting with what peroxide can do for your homes. I replaced my glass cleaner with it. I take 50/50 peroxide and water. Cleaning your glass with this is amazing! It cleans the glass and mirrors in my home really well and no streaks I have to deal with. Sometimes I would have to go over my glass twice, with my old glass cleaner. You can use it to clean your countertops, bathroom vanities, toliets, dusting, etc. It gets them clean, disinfected and give your home a nice fresh natural smell. If you put a cup of peroxide in your whites(laundry), it does the same thing as bleach; but without ruining the material over time. Soak your tooth brushes over night in a cup of peroxide, it kills the bacteria. If you brush your teeth with peroxide, they will get whiter. Use as a mouth wash, like I said it kills bacteria so helps freshen the breath. Claudia and I now use peroxide for our skin toner. Peroxide is the real toner! Using this as a toner, my skin is alot more even and toned than it has been in a long time. Spray 50/50 peroxide and water in your hair after wash, you will find that your hair over time will get it’s natural highlights. If you spray your 50/50 solution in your nostrils it will kill the bacteria of colds and plugged sinus; just hold for a minute then blow your nose. For tooth pain 3% peroxide in mouth will lessen the pain greatly. Soaking your wounds in peroxide heals wounds better than most store brought product. Claudia just told me about a kid that got poison ivy and his mother cleaned and soaked in peroxide, then took the vacuum hose against the poison ivy; “stopped itching and healed faster than any store brought product has”. I’m just saying people! It gets blood stains out of clothes! The best way for it to completely take the blood out is to pore it on the stain right away, it will total lift the stain out of the material. I was proud to switch to this, it saved me money on so many products that I will never use again. This product does a better job than most high priced cleaners and other products that you use at home. You know we are all about keeping it beautiful and the beauty in this is that saving money and getting the best results from it. We are a true wittness to the fact! Try the switch you will not be disappointed, it is truly my favorite over all beauty product…

I had a relative of mine ask me to do a article on how bee pollen is benefical to us. Taking it regularly makes her feel more energized through the day. So when I told Claudia about it, she had taken once regularly and knew it had some healthy benefits also. I had never heard anything about bee pollens benefits. This is why I do what I do, because sometimes we just don’t know. Well I am here to tell you guys what I know; thank to my cousin Kneene for messaging me and asking me to do a article on the benefits of bee pollen. It is said that bee pollen enhance your immune system with a high content of vitamin C. Our body doesn’t store or produce vitaminC, so it is important to aquire it daily. It also is a prevention of cancer, helps in weight loss, and good for better looking skin. It is packed with lots of vitamins and minerals that our body needs. It contains plenty of enzymes that attribute to your body’s ability to digest food and properly absorb nutrients. Enzymes are important for breaking down the “fibrin” coating that protect cancer cells from the immunocytes that normally destory’s them. The amino acids in bee pollen helps your body burn more calories. Your body has to work extra hard to break the molecules down. Bee pollen benefit it’s ability to prevent acne and wrinkles. It is flooded with various different vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, which are great for keeping youthful skin. The key ingredient vitamin B yield multiple effects; including decrease hyperpigmentation, stress relief, and the cleansing of toxins. The vitamin C and E in bee pollen can protect you from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. We found that bee pollen’s minerals, such as calcuim, iron, potassium and zinc can increase your mental focus and learning potentail. These minerals can be essential for the proper functioning of the heart, kidney’s and nerves. Also helps with muscle contractions and promotes the release of neurotransmitters. The vast amount of iron will supply your cells with the elements they need in order to maintain your good health. Out of everything Claudia and I research, this has the most benefits to me so far. Just keep in mind that if your going to make bee pollen a part of your diet, it is crucial that bee pollen is harvested from a healthy region and preserved in the proper fashion. The regions we harvest bee pollen from, must be free of pollution. Suppliers who do not adhere to proper preservation methods, risk spoiling their bee pollen; inevitably result in the production of low-quality supplements. When you check a bee pollen supplement out, make sure the pollen was freeze dried. That is the best way to store it.

Whole grains contain vitamin B6, which aids in reducing homocysteine levels. Which is an amino acid used normally by the body in cellular metabolism and the manufacture of proteins.

(HOT COCOA), two tablespoons of pure cocoa powder is almost two times stronger than red wine, two to three times stonger than green tea and four or five times stronger than black tea.

Wow, Claudia found out the amazing things we can do with coconut oil! We are big on natural benefits. Our goal is always to be healthy on the inside out; so we love things that can be used both in and outside of our bodies. Coconut oil is a rich moisturizer, doesn’t cost very much and is versatile. This oil can be used for cooking, skin, shaving, hair treatment and even sex. Of course we love focusing on gluten-free products and coconut oil is one of those things that are. It has a haunting, nutty, vanilla flavor; so it has benefits in baked goods better than butter. We found that this oil is rich and milder tasting. The natural sweetness shines in baked goods. Not only is this oil tasty in baked goods, Claudia found that it good to swap coconut oil for roasting and some frying. Baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussell’s sprouts, carrots, asparagus, broccoli and other veggies are also foods that are great to cook in coconut oil too. Those are just the things internally you can use it for. If you use it for shaving, you get a closer shave and don’t have to moisturizer after. Put a little on your cheek bones after you apply your make up and leave it alone, watch how your skin will look natural and glowier than ever. If you have heat damage or dead ends, this oil is great for deep conditioning. Once a week sleep with a handful of coconut oil. Rub it in and comb it through, put your hair in a bun and go to sleep, shampoo out in the morning; seems to make a huge difference in look and feel of your ends. Coconut oil is also good for taking off waterproof mascara. When your with your mate, sex buddy or yourself, it can be a personal lubricant, it works people, just try it. Just know that it is not compatible with condoms at all. Also wouldn’t use for a complete face moisturizer, it is ok to use with make-up on cheeks; but a everyday moisturizer wil only cause acne. I have found that the only oil good enough for your face is olive oil( That is a another article). Any other part of your body inside and out coconut oil is golden. So lets go get started reaping the great benefits!
