The Year 2014 to Date

So far this year has been an eventful one. I switched schools this year to attend Liberty University Online, Jeremy switched from being a full-time technician with Vivint to a part-time technician there so he could become the full-time technician with Tytan Security, we traded in both of our cars for new ones, Briar turned 2 in January and holy cow does it show, my younger sister just had her first baby Knala in February, and we have started the process of having a garden this year! Just over two months into the year and thing are starting to look up so far! I have the first Craft Fair of the year coming up in April, and have opened a new Etsy shop to focus more on the few things that I love to do most out of all my products, and the house is finally staying relatively clean most of the time. Briar has decided that naps when we want them are no longer happening, although occasionally he just zonks out regardless!

Oil Pulling.....Sounds Odd Right?

I am sure that most of you have heard about the technique of Oil Pulling, since I found out about this from a Facebook post I am sure it has gone Viral by now. I am thinking about trying this out, since I already use Coconut Oil in most of my beauty products that I make this should not be much of a stretch. I am already aware of a lot of the amazing properties of Coconut oil, which is why I use it a lot, but I am just wondering how accurate this stuff really is from a Scientific point of view. As far as research, it seems to be a legitimate technique that is quickly growing in popularity, so I think that I will be giving this a try very soon! I am however, a bit hung up on the idea of just sticking a clump of coconut oil in my mouth! I am wondering what the potential would be for maybe adding a little flavor with some DoTerra oils?!!? I will give this a try after the initial trial of about a week and see if I notice any more/less results than with the first week. I have incredibly sensitive teeth so my number one goal here is to see some results there, and maybe I can start saving on my toothpaste bill! ;)
