Week 4/52…

inspired by this book….but first let me tell you about week 3…oil pulling…well yeah but no but yeah kind of mixed reactions….the thing is I’ve stuck to it…every single day without a fail and it was not as bad as I anticipated…the taste and texture were ok…the downside has to be the time and timing…20 minutes is awfully long, specially first thing in the morning…honestly, who has 20 minutes to spare in the morninsg..20 minutes to just stand there oil pulling…I know what you’re thinking…do something else!!! …I promise you , it’s almost impossible….well , I must say results are pretty obvious but even then there’s got to be an easier way to take care of ones teeth and mouth in general…and there is….which leads me to week 4

Week 4 is going to be about using less chemicals in my body and making my own beauty/hygiene products.

Insh’Allah , I’m starting with a simple toothpaste ….simple ingredients most found around the house….

Next on the list, either a body scrub or a moisturizing face cream……

Feel free to share recipes and tips….

Week 3/52…

inspired by this book….but first let me tell you about week 2….walking….well , I only walked 4 out of 7 days , mind you I did walk an average of 1.55342798 miles …so, I guess walking is not a keeper…or I could always try in the warmer months…the thing is, too cold, too dark and too lonely…I would have stuck to it if I had had someone to do it with but who in their right mind would want to come with me at 7:45 in the morning?…exactly…and you should know by now I’m a social creature….

So, back to this week….I’m giving oil pulling a go….I’ve already started……not sure what to think of it yet…I managed 8 minutes and the recommended time is 20 minutes!!! how is that humanely possible? 20 minutes without talking? mmmm…..I’ll keep trying, should get easier….

The other thing was the taste till the coconut oil liquidized….not bad but weird to say the least…I might try adding some peppermint to it….here is a great tutorial…

Have a nice week…

Salaams y hasta la vista,
