But for now, I will enjoy a bit of the Dead Sea at home with Jericho Mineral Skin Care products.You can read the history and benefits of the Dead Sea on the Jericho site. They have a wide variety of products available for you face, body and hair.The ones that I got to try are:* Relaxing Salt Scrub with Lavender Oil - Kudos to whoever thought to add lavender to this. The salt scrub would have been great by itself, but the lavender made it extra special. Made my skin feel fresh and soft and the lavender made it very relaxing.* Nourishing Night Cream - This is sooo creamy. The humidity has been so low here that I had been waking up with dry uncomfortable skin. When I use the Night Cream before bed, I wake up with fresh skin :)* Dead Sea Salt Soap - The soap felt instantly good on my skin. Even my son commented that his hands felt great after using it. With "Salt" in the name, I was expecting it to have a salty texture, but it doesn't. It is a smooth creamy bar with the benefits of the Dead Sea minerals.SPECIAL DEAL ALERT - You can get FREE Shipping on orders of $70 or more - see site for details.PRIZE ALERT - 1 of you will win a set of Jericho Mineral Skin Care products - Relaxing Salt Scrub with Lavender Oil, Nourishing Night Cream and Dead Sea Salt Soap :)"

Squeezing in your workouts
I'll try to add more as time goes on, but this is a great way to stay fit. Put some 3# weights in your bathroom, and every time you visit that room, wash your hands and pick up the weights and do 3 reps of 10 each (this can increase as you get stronger) upper body shoulder, abs, bicep/tricep excercises, and the same with lower body lunges, calves, butt, thigh excercises. Alternate upper body days with lower body days. You will fit in an entire week of fitness in these small increments of time. We all visit that room at least 4-5 times per day.
This works in an office too! Get your friends on board, and you can post a sheet to show participation and progress. Be sure to get your manager's permission. Depends how you spin it. Fit workers work better!! Keeps the brain cells active!!
Stay tuned, and I'll post some really effective, quick excercises!
LOWER BODY
This one is my favorite. Stand with feet apart (shoulder wide) on your toes and lean forward with your arms out and your hands braced on the wall, or a counter. Now, squeeze your butt cheeks and push your pelvis as close to the wall or counter as you can, all the time squeezing hard and staying on those toes. Count to 30, and rest. Repeat at least once.
This gets your entire leg and butt. First time I did it, I had a hard time sitting, I was so sore! Very effective.

My Favorite Secret Beauty Tip
Coconut Oil! Extra Virgin Cold Pressed, of course! All About Coconut Oil
And from the above site: Today thousands of people testify that Virgin Coconut Oil has tremendous health benefits, related to not only weight loss, but to such things as increased metabolism, helping sluggish thyroids, increased energy levels, killing Candida and yeast infections, improving cholesterol levels, clearing up skin infections, killing viruses, improving digestive health, and more! All across America health care practioners, including MDs, chiropractors, nurses, nutritionists, naturopaths, and others are seeing positive results in their patients or clients when using Virgin Coconut Oil. We bring you many of their stories on the pages of this website.
THE BEAUTY OF COCONUT OIL
Anytime you need moisture on your skin, just rub a little coconut oil into it externally. I have little pots of it all over the house so I can moisturize anytime. I use it on my hair too. I use "expeller pressed" oil externally because there is no coconut smell. Sorry, I love coconuts, but I don't wish to smell like one!!
As you know, I'm really old. Starting to notice wrinkles! They visibly melt with an application of coconut oil! The stuff is amazing! And so cheap!!
THE HEALING BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL
As you read above it is great for weight loss and cures all kinds of disease and illness. So the trick is 1 TBSP Coconut Oil (I use Gold Label Extra Virgin for this) 3 x daily taken internally. I'll be posting how I get my coconut oil into my diet 3 times a day and love it. It's a secret recipe that I made up, but once I post it, it won't stay a secret long. I'm still in the process of tweaking it to perfection.
While you wait for my secret recipe, you can try this with coconut oil. My favorite brand is Tropical Traditions, and I am their fan on Facebook. Aside from that, try these ideas.
The above forum has posts from newbies and old timers. Many also oil pull. I do NOT recommend Oil pulling with Coconut Oil. Dr. F. Karach only recommends Sunflower Oil or Sessame Seed oil, so I stick with his recommendations because HE is the one who documented all the great results of oil pulling. Aside from that, you will get tons of ideas from that forum!

- Drink it in your coffee or tea. I love it so much, coffee without that coconut flavor is seriously lacking
- Smear it on your toast instead of butter, and top with jelly or peanut butter. Gives your toast a tropical vacation.
- Use it to saute meats and veggies instead of oil or butter. It has a high heat tolerance, so you can saute on high without the oil burning. Also it keeps forever and does not go rancid!

My Favorite Ancient Cure for Disease
Oil Pulling is so easy to do! I wish I had known from a very young age. Instead I had to get old and search the web for all my little ailments to find it. It costs so little, and is so effective. You should oil pull 3 times per day, and I do it once before I start my day. I can't afford health insurance or dental, and it has been a while since a dental cleaning, BUT within 3 weeks of oil pulling huge chunks of placque came off my teeth, and they look very white now! Also, the gums have stopped receeding and bleeding. Here is a darling video on the subject: Oil Pulling My goal now is to do it once before lunch and dinner also. I hope to be able to come here and tell you more results as time goes on.
This is what attracts me about Oil Pulling:
The result of this healing research has attracted amazement and resulted in further research. This additional research concerning Oil Therapy has now been thoroughly documented, especially with regard to physiological similarities between individuals. It is surprising that through this biological healing method a wide variety of symptoms have unquestionably disappeared without any side-effects. This simple method makes it possible completely heal such a wide variety of diseases which would normally be treated by an operation or by powerful or potent Drugs, usually with significant side-effects.
The simplicity of this healing system in which Oil is swirled backwards and forwards in the mouth, is due to the stimulating effect which it has on the body's eliminatory system.
Through this method it is possible to heal individual cells, cell conglomerates such as lymph nodes and more complex tissues such as internal organs simultaneously. This occurs because the beneficial microflora throughout the body are provided with a healthy continuum. Without this natural bodily intrusive element evinced by the microflora the usual pattern of human health tends to lean towards illness rather than wellness. Dr. Karach anticipates that regular application of this treatment by reversing this process so that wellness is the dominant state of the human body is likely to increase the average human lifespan to approximately 150 years, double the present life expectancy.
Dr. Karach is supported in this view by other colleagues in the world. By means of this treatment {Oil } it is invariably the result that diseases like migraine headaches, bronchitis, diseased teeth, arterio thrombosis, chronic blood disorders such as leukemia, arthritis and related illnesses, neuro physiological paralysis, eczema, gastro enteritis, peritonitis, heart disease, kidney disease, meningitis, and women’s hormonal disorders are completely eliminated from the organism. The benefit of Dr. Karach's method is that the oil therapy heals the whole body in perpetuity. In terminal diseases such as cancer, Aids and chronic infections this treatment method has been shown to successfully replace all others. Dr. Karach has successfully healed a chronic leukemia patient with 15 years of harsh treatment methods behind him. Acute arthritis in 1 patient who was totally bedridden was removed from his body in 3 days with no inflammation apparent.
NOTE: The recommended oils to use are Sunflower Oil, Seasme Oil. We are receiving many emails about which oil to use. Our experience with thousands of people across the globe says USE COLD PRESSED OIL as first choice, if it is not available use REFINED OIL ( which seems to be effective in the process too). We have observed that any oil other than SUNFLOWER or SEASME may not be effective.

I use Sunflower Oil purchased at a Health Foods Market. They don't have it at my grocery stores locally, but Henry's Market and Whole Foods have it.

Giveaway - Tropical Traditions Organic Teeth Cleaner - Ends 10/27/09
Tropical Traditions
Organic Teeth Cleaner! :)
From Tropical Traditions: People living in the tropics where coconuts grow have used coconut oil to clean their teeth long before modern toothpastes were developed. Tropical Traditions has developed a new Teeth Cleaner based on our popular organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil as the main ingredient. This 100% natural cleaner for your teeth contains no fluoride and no foaming agents such as SLS. Along with organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, we have added other natural ingredients to clean your teeth naturally.
The Organic Teeth Cleaner comes in 3 flavors: Cinnamon, Classic and Mint. My family is picky with toothpaste and none of us like the ones that are overly sweet and overpowering, so we were excited to try out the Cinnamon. We love it! It doesn't taste at all sugary to us - just a good clean natural cinnamon flavor. Our mouths feel clean and fresh. And the squeeze bottle works well for us - actually, much neater than a tube.
SPECIAL DEAL ALERT - First time customers can get a FREE Virgin Coconut Oil book with purchase! Use the special code 4827991 in the referred by a friend section and it will be added to your order for free :)
