Christmas gifts can be so fun to make. But some people are just really difficult to buy meaningful gifts for at a price point that fits into the Christmas budget. My sister actually came up with this idea. She was looking for single recipes that her teens could make themselves without destroying the kitchen. What a great idea! I started thinking of the possibilities: college dorm rooms, after school snacks, even moms that are on different diets than their families… endless possibilities for a holistic nutritionist. Her family of course eats differently than mine. This is the beauty and problem of this gift. I can’t test the gluten-filled recipes, so I had a friend check them out, two thumbs-up from her kids. (A big shout-out to my great friend over at https://ouramyablefarmhouse.com.) Meanwhile I went to work on quick paleo recipes. I wouldn’t have a microwave if it wasn’t for my husband, so now I’m glad he wouldn’t let me throughout all of them. Even though paleo isn’t a fan of … [Read more...]

Sunscreen or Sun-Scream
Why current Sunscreen is bad? Endocrine disruptors and coral killing compounds are not good for you or the planet. One application of sunscreen is equivalent to a daily dose of estrogen therapy. That is going into the water and can’t be filtered out. It is washing into our streams, coral reefs, and into our water systems. Sunscreen is often made of ingredients that degrade in sunlight which adds to the free radical damage of your skin. Zinc oxide (non-nano) does not degrade in sun so it continues to protect your skin longer. The natural recipe I am going to share with you is full of healthy oils that will make this natural sunscreen water resistant as well. There has been a long standing campaign for everyone to “protect” their skin with SPF lotions. Although there are good times to do that, across the board-all-the-time, isn’t the best solution.
