    I was a daily wine drinker. Last night I had none! And my coffee mug has shrunk. I went to a smaller one. Little by little… KT is a huge help!

    How do you do the coconut treatments? Do you just melt a little coconut oil in warm water and then put it in your hair or is there an easier, less messy way to do this? Do you leave it in or wash it out? If you wash it out, how long do you leave it on first?

    Good job! I had a couple glasses of red wine yesterday because I opened the wine for a recipe … but only two and they were small glasses. Most of the bottle is left. KT does make it easier to walk away. I’m going to try and go to no wine for a week starting today (Monday). Coffee intake is way down.

    In reply to: Rita Ladany posted an update in the group Kombucha Kamp Challenge I use 14 products. I make my own body lotion Shea butter with some added oil different each time I make them. Coconut oil and baking powder for […] View

    My feet and hands get very dry in the winter months. I warm up a jar of pure shea butter until it melts, then I rub the melted butter into my feet and hands. Once a week seems enough to keep both hands and feet happy. For my face, after I shower, I use a tiny pit of Avalon Organics Hand and Body Lotion. I also use this on my limbs.

  • I’ve recently changed to an organic shampoo and conditioner. I am just not happy with it. My hair (long, straight) now feels brittle and tangles are awful. It’s better if I use my old conditioner, but I think the shampoo is too strong. I only shampoo once or twice a week. I think I may try something else… but this stuff is very expensive and I…[Read more]

    • I have to switch my organic shampoos and conditioners up ALL the time because my hair is very long and straight and can get brittle if I dont. I had to do that with the typical shampoos as well. I find that doing coconut oil treatments and aloe vera treatments help too.

        • I do it like i used to do the hot V-oil treatments back in the day. I warm it up in hot water and then apply it to my head. Wrap it in a damp warm towel (or dry one is fine too). Leave it in for 15 min or longer, and then wash out. to detangle. I put a very small amount of coconut oil on my hands and put it in the ends of my hair. (don’t…[Read more]

    I was thirsty, but then I got right back on track with the KT yesterday and actually drank a little more KT and a lot more water. Woke up last night and was again thirsty and drank a tall glass of water at 2 a.m. Then I didn’t want to get up at 5 a.m. like I usually do.

    I would love your make-over mac and cheese recipe.

  • Thanks! I have a three gallon crock with a spigot that seems to be working well so far, but I had previously been pulling the SCOBY each time I refilled and let it regenerate from scratch. I will leave it in there […]

  • I have a continuous brew going now. Makes it much easier to keep KT stocked up and ready to drink. I continue to lose weight — slowly. But at least things are going in the right direction. My husband noticed that my face is clearing up. I noticed I’m not so hungry between meals.

    • Those are great observations. Many people report that their skin clears up. I think its because of the detox – when you get rid of those toxins from the inside, then the body doesn’t manifest them on the outside. Keep it up!

  • Ackkk! I got caught up in meetings all day and could not bring my KT. I feel droopy this evening and am working on glass now, but my total intake for today will be far less than ”normal.” I’m interested to see how that affects me tomorrow.

    It means that legally, in Virginia, I can possess raw milk and I can milk my own dairy animal, but I cannot purchase/trade/barter for raw milk from an animal owned by someone else. And a dairy animal owner cannot sell it to me. Most folks in VA who want raw milk legally, are part of a cow/goat share in which a group of folks own a cow and hire a…[Read more]

    Virginia. One of those states where you can possess but not buy real milk

  • I have stupidly low BP. To give you an idea, in the middle of a contraction giving birth, my BP was 90/60. I get dizzy if I bend over to pick up something off the floor. Normal for me is about 70/40. I’m also very […]
