Good morning peeps!
Today I'm impatiently waiting for my mail to arrive. If you check out my routines, you'll see that I plan on using quite a few products. Most of them I ordered and am awaiting on. My hope is start all this fun stuff on Aug 1, 14. So fingers crossed my products make it in time!
Yes, I'm the person that likes starting a plan on the first of a month or a Sunday cuz that's the start of a calendar week lol. It's the planner in me, can't help it.
Since this is my coffee chat, let's talk coffee! Today I'm having a hot cup of Folgers. I take mine with non dairy powdered creamer (I don't measure it, just pour it until it's the color I like) and sugar (way too much actually, I do a little less than 1/8 cup. Odd measurement, I know lol, but there's a 1/4 measuring cup in the sugar container and I use less than half of that) So when I say "normal coffee", that's what I'm referring too :)
(Brand may change, doesn't have to be Folders. I basically have anything on sale)
What's in your cup? How do you like your coffee? Do you drink coffee? Tea?
Speaking of tea, also on the first of Aug, I'm going to start having green tea. I drink WAY too much pop (yes, pop lol!! I'm from the Midwest. Do you have pop or soda?) So, I'm gonna try to sub out pop with Green Tea. Way better for me. I'm getting old so it's time to really take care of myself. Baby steps lol. But yeah, I think drinking a few cups of green tea and slowly removing my pop (caffeine free diet coke) is a pretty good idea.
Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Oil Pulling
Oil Pulling? What in the world is oil pulling?? Click HERE for more info on what it is and how it works.
How I chose to do it:
Pick your choice of oil. I chose an organic, unrefined, virgin, cold pressed Coconut Oil.
I do it once a day for ten minutes. I put 2 teaspoons in my mouth as soon as I go into the bathroom in the morning, start swishing to be sure to coat every bit of my mouths surface (do NOT gargle or swallow). Then as I'm swishing I do my morning routine, which is listed at top of page if you`re interested!. After I've squished for ten minutes, I spit it into a paper Dixie cup and throw away (or directly into garbage can)
I only do ten minutes in the morning for now but am going to work my way up to another ten during my night time routine as well. I have horrible teeth. Calcium deficiency, added with the birth of each child my teeth are simply crumbling. So I'm a bit nervous lol, but if the ten minutes does ok, I'll add another ten at night! I'll keep you updated! :)
*Remember to never swallow or spit into a sink or shower. The oil will harden later and over time can cause plumbing issues*
{I will insert a pic here of mine plus the price asap}

I have not done this yet, but is my plan on how I'm going to do it. I'll be sure to make a post about my first time oil pulling!!
