I have recently read that there is a link between aluminum and Alzheimer's. Metal toxicity is responsible for many health issues.

Plant Therapy has a great wood grain diffuser that I have my eyes on. It gets great reviews and has timer options, which are a must have in my opinion.

No. I dislike MLM companies that claim their said company has the only pure oils on the market, astronomical prices, and promote unsafe usage. I like Edens Garden for affordable oils with transparency of third party testing of purity. Plant Therapy is another good one.

Oh my goodness, you are right about xylitol! I didn't know that,and I usually check if ingredients are ok. I will stop giving him the Barleans and go back to Nordic Naturals. Now I feel like a terrible dog owner. Thank you for warning me.

I add Barleans key lime flavored fish oil and a plain yogurt to dry dog food. My dog gobbles it right up and it is good for him. He also loves coconut oil. I also give canned food. I buy it from Trader Joe's and can get three servings out of one can. Just enough to moisten the dry food and for extra flavor.

We don't take a supplement, but brew our own Kombucha.

Interesting, Rosie! I am fairly new to brewing Kombucha, been brewing for a few months. I keep hearing from other seasoned brewers to never use teas with added flavors or oils because it can ruin or alter the culture, and to always add flavor in the second ferment.

I have found Old Navy curvy fit me the best.

Another option that is not invasive and very accurate is to do Nutritional Response Testing. Our Nutritional Therapy Practitioner helped us figure out the underlying problems our son was having. We thought he was sensitive to gluten, but it was more than just gluten. He is so much better since we started going to the NTP.

Morgage and food expenses are about the same.

I am still a newbie on brewing Kombucha, but you should never store scoby or starter in the fridge as it will kill off the yeast and bacteria, making it susceptible to mold. The Kombucha Nation FB group is a great source of reliable and knowledgable information on all things related to Kombucha making.

Pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans.

My son has enjoyed IEW Fix It! Grammar, IEW Student Writing Intensive Group B, and WinterPromise American Culture.

I use Mitchum. It is far better than the clinical strength deodorants out there, and it is much cheaper. The natural deodorants never worked for me.

I use Norwex cloths, too. You are not supposed to wash them with anything linty. I wash my cleaning rags with my whites. So they get thrown into my designated whites hamper until laundered. Washed with bleach on a heavy duty hot water cycle.

"And finally, Jessa's husband just seems like a bit of a butter knife. Not too sharp. Maybe the dim bulb in the bedroom was a metaphor. They also were talking about planning to adopt and they just sound like they are in La-La Land." Well, he may seem dim witted, but he has a poly sci degree.

The Conjuring. So scary.

I agree about the Zoom Groom. It works very well on my short haired dog's coat, and he loves it because it feels more like a massage.

This is my favorite chicken recipe. It is so flavorful and yummy! http://paleoleap.com/roasted-citrus-herb-chicken/

Yes! I love the 94 version. I also watch it every Christmas. Susan Sarandon as Marme is brilliant!

This Christmas was extra special to me because this was the first Christmas in several years to be able to buy gifts for family. It was fun being able to shop and pick something special for each person. The kids and I bought my hubby gift cards to Scheels so he can pick out what he wishes. Seeing him open them up was such a great moment. I explained to him that usually when he receives cash as a gift he always ends up using it for us or things we need, as he is so thoughtful and considerate of our needs. So we bought gift cards so it would only be used for him. He teared up a bit. Best moment! I was grateful to receive a nice set of tri ply stainless steel pots and pans. We really needed to replace our old ones. I don't have a lot of cabinet space for them so we will be getting a pot rack.
