A few at home things that make me feel a little better!

I'm just starting week 4 of the parasite cleanse and I wanted to share a little bit more about what I'm feeling and doing at home.

My energy is so incredibly awesome that I have been getting a lot of deep cleaning done around the house that I honestly didn't have to motivation to do before this cleanse. I tell ya what, just the energy boost alone is enough to make me want to do this twice a year!

Along with the cleanse, I have been doing a few more things that I always "wanted" to do or felt I needed to do, but never did.

~My hair is in a horrible state right now, but getting better. Again, I can't stress enough how many different areas of my life/body this cleanse is benefiting. So, I have been doing coconut oil hair masks. I literally take a tablespoon of it and melt it, then saturate my hair and leave it on anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours...YES, I totally had greasy hair in a messy bun for 10 hours today! Itchy, flaky scalp BE GONE! It also helps my poor ends!

~Dry brushing before my tubby's. Yes, I am a grown woman who still takes tubby's. I ordered my dry brush from my Beachbody site (I get a discount and love their products), but I suppose you can get one from wallyworld. I just start at my feet and work towards my heart and scrub away that nasty dead skin! Probably for a total of 5 minutes a time, 3 times a week.

~Detox tubby. I like my water so hot that no child dares to put a finger in it! Haha. I add 2 cups of Epsom salt, 2 cups of baking soda and about a tablespoon of ginger. Then I soak in a Heavenly bliss for 40 minutes...door locked, candles lit and all! I also do this 3 times a week.

~Then I get out and apply castor oil as a full body lotion, besides my privates, face and neck. Really helps with winter dryness and supposedly helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks. We shall see about that, I just started this one.

~I have one of those ped egg things, and I really enjoy shaving the bottom of my feet. Feet are gross.

~And since I still battle this nasty body odor (which I am hoping goes away soon), about once a week I apply a lemon juice and baking soda paste under my arms at bedtime. I'm starting to think at this point its not actually ME, but it's my clothes harboring the nasty smell. Gross, right?!

~Oil pulling. I TRY to do this every night, but the days get absorbed fast with other stuff sometimes. I like to do this while in the tubby. Just spoon some in my pie hole 20 min into it and swoosh it for 20 minutes or so, lean over and spit in the garbage and brush my teeth right after my tubby is over, before I swallow any of it.

~I also just started brushing my teeth with activated charcoal too. It's supposed to whiten them and such. About once a week I think I will do.

Holy buckets, listing this all out makes me almost feel like a Beverly Hills wife who does NOTHING productive all day but pamper herself! Haha....For real though, I am a busy bee around the house and all of this is done after the children are in bed, promise!

See anything you are wanting to try? DO IT...and then post below your thoughts on it :-)
