Lemi Shine

Recently, I was asked to try Lemi Shine Machine Clean. The stuff is amazing!! We have hard water and regularly get mineral build up. We have tried many options to clean and prevent this build up, but nothing worked like this Lemi Shine Machine Clean. After using it, we are not getting spots and white minerals on our silverware nor our cups and bowls! Thank you, Lemi Shine!!!

Couponing

My sister recently introduced me to couponing.  I did the coupon thing years ago when we lived in CA, and it was time consuming.  So much so that I gave up.  I was hesitant to try it again, but HOLY COW! I am loving it!


She gave me a few websites to go to and a couple ideas of how to keep it simple:
1- Start with one store! 
She recommends Rite Aid since they have amazing deals and their coupon policy is so flexible.


2- Buy the things that you use.  
Don't go overboard buying things you'll never use, unless they are totally free.


3- Her favorite websites are:
www.hip2save.com (I go to stores and look at store deals individually)
www.totallytarget.com


4- One more website I love:
www.savvyshopperdeals.com (they often have things hip2save doesn't have and vice versa)


5-Lastly, I don't get a Sunday paper, but there are TONS of printable coupons and those sites above will put links to the printables next to the deals!


Happy Couponing!!

Coconut oil for Dry Hair

You can use coconut oil as a deep conditioner.  It can be used prior to shampooing, or as an overnight conditioner.  I've found it works best to apply it to dry hair.

• Take a tablespoon or two of coconut oil (depending on how long your hair is) into your hands and rub together to melt it.  
• Rub your hands in your hair all the length of your hair.  
• Massage into scalp as well.    
• Leave on at least 15 minutes before shampooing.  
• If you are using it as an overnight conditioner, put a shower cap on your hair to protect your pillow.                      
• Shampoo out in the morning.  
• Enjoy your shiny, healthy hair!!  

There are lots of articles on how great coconut oil specifically, is the best oil for dry hair!

Another way to apply it if you are going to take a bath with coconut oil in it is to just dip your hair in the water and squeeze the excess water out.
