One of my favorite things on this planet is coconut oil. It has recently become a very popular thing online, and quite often I see articles written about the benefits and many uses for coconut oil. Those uses are very true! Today, though I want to talk about one way that I use coconut oil - as toothpaste. Then I'll share with you how I make it. My Decision to Try Coconut Oil as a Toothpaste Several years ago, I read an article about coconut oil, and the individual who wrote the article shared ...
Take This Cup by Bodie & Brock Thoene
Review I have always enjoyed the Thoenes' books. They are able to take the Scriptures and add fictional aspects that make the original stories come alive. This particular story is written about a young boy who has been born to be the cupbearer of the Lord. It was young Nehemiah's job to take the chalice cup that was bestowed to him and to clear the years of tarnish and give it to Jesus at just the right time. Obstacles stand in his way throughout the journey, and Nehemiah finds himself ...
GIVEAWAY! My Favorites – Beauty Go-To’s
I promised that when I reached 100 Likes on Facebook that I'd do a giveaway! We reached that point last week quite quickly, and so I had to scramble and make a shopping trip for three of my favorite beauty items.

National Pistachio Day!
Did you know that today is National Pistachio Day? It is! I love pistachios, and thankfully they're a guilt-free treat as long as I eat them in moderation. :P Here are some neat facts about pistachios: They're full of fiber - one serving of pistachios gives you as much fiber as you'd get from eating 2 plums! It is one of only two nuts mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 43:11). It takes at least eight years before the first crop is ready. After that time, it's able to bear fruit for ...
New host & Fresh beginning!
I've decided to make a fresh start with my blog, and to launch my own domain name. It's been a big step, and it has been a lot of work. It took a lot of time to dig through all of the free themes, all of the neat plugins at Wordpress, and then setting everything up seemed like an endless task! I began writing things down that needed to be done, because I found myself with as many as twenty open windows on my browser. I was overwhelmed! This is all a learning process for me. Learning about SEO ...
