Home made conditioner and deodorant

Yep, I have taken it to a whole new level!

We were doing our usual wholesale shopping and I walked passed a huge 36 oz tub of organic non GMO coconut oil, for $10. I mean, how could I resist that? I couldn't. In the cart it went and straight to google I went lol. 

Admittedly, I am not a huge coconut fan. Taste wise that is. I don't cook with it much because I'm not a huge fan of the flavor. I do however love the smell! Not much smells better than some coconut hair products during the summer time! 

So I found a home made conditioner recipe and went to town! My personal review on it- smells great and does make your hair soft. Cons- it's watery. So I used a lot to saturate my hair good. My end opinion, makes a much better leave in conditioner than a shower conditioner (does that make sense?)

Recipe-

1 Can of Coconut Milk
1 TBSP Honey
1 TBSP Coconut Oil

Mix all ingredients together and VIOLA

Edible conditioner! lol I put it in an old conditioner bottle to store.

Home made Deodorant is next on the list.

Recipe-


1/2 Cup Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Corn Starch
2/3 Cup melted Coconut Oil

Melt oil and mix all ingredients together. Put in a sealed container, like a mason jar. Set in the fridge for 2 hours. To use scrap out a dime sized amount, hold in hands for a few seconds to soften it then rub on.

Juicing and the 21 Day Fix!

Image
Does anybody else have a hard time eating in the summer time? Something about the heat and humidity kills my appetite! So, liquids tend to be my regular meal time in the summers. Shakeology, smoothies and my born again love of juicing! While juicing can be a huge pain between Prep and cleaning the juicer constantly it is still really refreshing in the summer time! So, what I started doing for my own little 3 day cleanse/reboot was: 3 raw juices a day  1 shakeology with water  Between shakeology and juice, I am unstoppable! My energy is through the roof and my body just feels good. So good I have been pushing hard with my 21 day fix workouts! I planned on doing les mills combat but, I got hooked on the definition I was getting with the 21 day fix I decided to keep with it!  Week one- I lost 4 lbs!! Love that fix! Which that put me at the rest of my vacation weight lost!  One of the greatest things I have learned about working out at home is who

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Image
Ever since I miscarried 4 weeks ago I have been having a terribly hard time losing weight. Working out and calorie counting wasn't doing it. So, I decided to give the 3 day Shakeology cleanse a try! Given my embarrassing supply of Shakeology I figured I needed to put it to use anyway! I decided not to work out during the cleanse. To keep my energy levels from depleting. Day One- Was actually really easy for me. I didn't find myself craving things, I didn't feel hungry and my energy levels were normal. Day Two- Still felt pretty good! I did have more cravings this day. I didn't feel overly hungry, I just felt the urge to eat! lol My energy levels were pretty normal still. I was tempted to stray until I weighed myself! I had lost almost 4 lbs in a day! That felt good! I felt lighter and slimmer too. So, it was working and I wanted to stick it out! Day Three- When I weighed myself this morning I had lost 3 more lbs! Putting me at a total of 6 lbs in 2 da
