I really enjoy coconut water and it is so good for you. I only buy organic coconut water because there is a big difference in flavor if you ask me. Cocozia is USDA Certified Organic and I love the real deal! Cocozia's coconut water is crisp and light and has a great mild flavor. It is a delicious way to hydrate and my favorite time to drink it is before I run a race and after to rehydrate. It is also a perfect way to cool down after being in the sun all day and to help replenish your body with necessary nutrients. It is high in magnesium which is essential to our bodies and also has calcium, iron, phosphorous and potassium. A great way to get electrolytes without added sugar. One of the great things about this coconut water is that you can use it not just for drinking but for baking as well. Use it in breads in place of warm water or in hot oatmeal in the morning. My favorite way is to muddle herbs and fruit in the bottom of a glass and add coconut water to it. Very ta...

Photo courtesy of LeliaSea I thought LeliaSea nailed it with there hand cream! There body lotion is no exception.

It also contains Dead Sea Salt which has magnesium, calcium and potassium in it which is amazing for our skin. Photo courtesy of LeliaSea I use lotion daily, so having one that works great on top of smelling great is what I look for. This lotion leaves my skin silky smooth and smelling so good. The light floral smell is just the right amount of scent and it actually reminds me of my mom, making it that much more appealing to me. A little goes a long way as well! You don't need much to cover a large area, which I think everyone appreciates since you get more bang for your buck.  LeliaSea always maintains the highest in standards for there products and it shows. None of the products have any in...

As a renter, I have always wondered how I could protect my home better than just security doors around the building I live in and an intercom system. We aren't allowed to put chain's on the door for extra protection aside from out dead bolt. It really makes me worry and I was born a worrier. For the first time ever, renter's now have an option for a security system that requires no set-up or monthly fee's. Just purchase once and you are set. It is called the Canary This world is a crazy place and things happen that some can't imagine happening to them. But they can happen to anyone.

Not only that, what about watching for the kids to come home from school and make sure they made it? Or keep an eye on that pet that keeps chewing on furniture or just a simple check in? That is where Canary comes int...

My dad holds a special place in my heart. He has done more for our family then most men do. See, when I was 9 years old my mom married him and he adopted myself and my 3 siblings. He took us into his home and raised us as his own. He is always there for me when I need him and is such a wonderful man. I couldn't ask for a better person to have been my father in life than him. We have done a lot of fun things together, just me and him. He took me to Bristol, Tennessee to a Nascar race one year and that was a fun experience for a little kid! We've gone on canoe/camping trips together and I'll never forget the night I actually got to see the Northern Lights on that canoe trip. And those are just two that stick out in my head at the moment. He gave us opportunities we wouldn't have had otherwise in life. He taught me how to drive a stick, and I'll never forget one night out practicing driving and I hit a bear! A BEAR! Who does that??!!! Me and dad LOL. S...

It started a few small bumps one day that I brushed off as nothing more than a few bug bites. It is summer after all and we are outside a lot of the time. It sparked worry when the following day the bumps had spread to his legs, arms and torso. But he was vaccinated! He is up-to-date on all of his shots so why did this happen? At first I didn't think it was possible until I did research and talked to his doctor. Apparently my son isn't alone. About 1 out of 10 people who get the vaccine still get a mild case of the chicken pox in their lifetime. It is usually a very mild case, like Benjamin's, with very few lesions and a very mild to no fever and the illness doesn't last as long. If a child gets the Chicken Pox sometime after vaccination it is known as a "breakthrough" Varicella. Benjamin actually showed no signs of the Chicken Pox in the days prior to the bumps appearing, though I do recall him feeling warmer than usual but I just figured it was bec...

Hyaluronic Acid is a carbohydrate found naturally in our bodies. It is most prevalent in the eyes and in our joints, but is found in almost every cell in our bodies. It binds with water in our bodies to create a sort of gel to help lubricate muscles and joints for better function. So why do we use it on our skin? Well our skin is highly elastic when we our younger because it is sufficient in collagen and hyaluronic acid. As we get older, we start losing elasticity in skin because the concentration of hyaluronic acid in our skin starts depleting. Add that to collagen loss and wrinkles and significant signs of aging occur. Just think of it as a sort of lubricant. A hyaluronic acid serum will add to the depleting acid in our skin cells to help build it back up again. It works with our skin to hydrate and moisturize. With that in mind is it easy to see why it has been called "The Fountain of Youth". It helps minimize signs of the aging process on the skin by making th...

July 11, 2010 Today marks my husband and I's 5th Wedding Anniversary. It is a special day, and rainy, just like the day we were married. They say rain means good luck on a wedding day. This is superstition of course but it is said to bring cleansing to the marriage of the past, the tough times and the bad memories. It is supposed to signify that the marriage will last, along with the blessing of fertility and that it will be the last day the bride will shed tears. Obviously these are superstitions but it is interesting as it was rainy then and is rainy now. I find it beautifully calming. These last 5 years have been a roller coaster of emotions. Every marriage is rough, I just feel blessed that we have made it through those tough times. Lawrence and I didn't have a traditional wedding to say the least. We had been dating a little over 5 years when I got pregnant with Benjamin. We had a shot gun wedding at the courthouse. Some would say that we had eloped. It wasn'...

I love a good chicken dinner. I wanted something different though. Different flavors to eat together. So I created this! Ingredients: Whole Chicken, rinsed and giblets taken out or off (mine was a little over 4 lbs) 1 medium sized onion, peeled and cut in half 3 stalks of celery, washed 1 small lemon 3 carrots, peeled and cut into big chunks 7 cloves of peeled garlic 3 bay leaves Spice Rub Blend (1 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and thyme. 1/2 teaspoon of sage, rosemary and basil.) 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar Sunflower Oil Take the spice rub blend and rub it under the skin and the remainder on top of the skin. Do the same with the brown sugar; first under the skin then on top, making sure the spice rub and brown sugar are rubbed in well for better flavor. Take the lemon and zest it over the whole chicken as evenly as you can. Then slice the lemon in half and juice in a container to remove and seeds the carefully pour the lemon juice over the ...
