How to Make Your Own Almond Milk

As kids we were all forced to drink a cup of milk at dinner.  I remember it as a kid.  I could not stand the taste of milk and would often times sit at the table well beyond the time my family was done eating just to try to drink my glass of milk.  "It is good for your teeth and bones," my mom would say.  However, did you know that it actually does the opposite of what it's supposed to?  Cow's milk actually makes us calcium deficient.  Since milk is alkaline, when we ingest it becomes acidic, breaking away all the calcium it had in the first place.  We still do drink cow's milk from time to time.  My daughter requests it as a special treat when we go out to dinner and we enjoy it in a bowl of cereal every so often, but we try not to make a habit of drinking it.  There are much better choices.

Cow's milk was intended to be for baby cows, but overtime people have been drinking it.  Cow's milk is so terrible for you, even the organic milk.  It is filled with pus and even though it is heated, it is not clear, so you are literally drinking dead pus cells.  Dairy in general is not good for your body and if you limit your intake, you will notice a drastic change in your body overtime.    A better choice would be coconut or almond milk.  The problem with store bought almond milk is that it only contains a few almonds and it has more sugar in it than what you would expect.  Making your own almond milk is by far the healthiest choice.  You only need a couple things to make the almond milk:

-water
-cheesecloth or a nut bag
-blender
-raw almonds

First, you will want to soak the almonds in some water overnight.  This will soften them up and loosen up the toxins.  The next morning, rinse the almonds well with some tap water.  You don't want to use the water you rinsed them in because you are trying to drain out all of the toxins.

Next, add water and the nuts to your blender.  I use about 1 cup of raw almonds to 4 cups or water.  Blend until it is smooth.

You will then want to take your cheesecloth or your nut bag and pour your milk into it, straining out all of the almond pulp.  There are lots of recipes you can use with the pulp, or you can just toss it.  Once almond pieces are out, that's it!  You can now drink your delicious almond milk.  Enjoy!

Free Cedarwood Oil

Barefut Oils has a free cedarwood oil this month.  It isn't the best smelling one for the diffuser, but it is a great way to repel ticks or to mix with your bug spray while camping.  We make our own homemade bug spray using eucalyptus, cedarwood, peppermint, lemongrass and rosemary.  I can post the recipe in the nearby future if I have anyone who is interested.  Stop on over to Barefut Oils and order your free cedarwood oil.  They usually have two free oils for the month, so be sure to order your oil before the new free oil comes out.

New Oil This Month LAST DAY

Sorry that it has been a while since I have blogged.  I've been busy preparing for the new baby and keeping my five year old busy with various activities.  This month Barefut Oils had two free oils again.  At the beginning of the month the oil was clementine and now it is Energy Eternity blend.  I am really excited to get this blend as it is blended with rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint and lemon.  This should be a nice one in the diffuser.  Today is the last day to order this free oil of the month so get it now while it is still free!  Tomorrow there will be a new free oil.

Free Oil of the Month: Lime

Barefut Oils company is yet again giving away a free oil this month as long as you pay the $3.95 for shipping.  I got mine in the mail a few days ago.  The original price is $13.69 for this oil so getting it free is quite the steal.  This month it is a 15 ml lime oil.  It smells like the other citrus oils; just like the fruit and without that chemical smell.

Lime essential oil has many benefits including increasing a person's appetite, preventing and treating viral infections, reducing joint pain and boosting person's immune system.  If applied to the skin, with a carrier oil of course, it can fight off an infection caused by a wound.

Why is There Bleach in Our Dishwasher Soap?

Before I started making my own dishwasher soap I tried to get soap that would properly clean my dishes, but one that had less chemical ingredients in it as well.  I found this one and since I was in a hurry I just grabbed it.  It is Palmolive brand and since it is phosphate free and eco friendly I thought it would be safe.  At the time, I didn't even think about looking at the ingredient list.

Recently I spilled something on my stove and nothing was cutting through the grease so I tried this soap right on the stove.  I grabbed  towel and scrubbed it.  After washing it, I realized that my towel was stained!  THIS DISHWASHER SOAP BLEACHED MY TOWEL! WHY is there bleach in our dishwasher soap????

I checked the ingredient list on the back and there was none.  I tried researching the ingredients online and couldn't find the full ingredient list but I did find that there was ammonia in there. This is a problem.

The Cause of Peanut Allergies

I recently saw a post that stated, "Why can't I bring peanut butter to school, but you can bring preventable disease?" This statement just basically contradicts itself.  I guess I should call it a question, but I know their intent.  They were trying to make it a statement.

The person who posted this is absolutely correct!  We should definitely keep those who are vaccinated out of schools.  According to the inserts right from the manufacturers, vaccines shed and they are getting healthy unvaccinated children sick.  Vaccinations cause outbreaks not healthy kids without diseases.

Secondly, your vaccinations cause peanut allergies in the first place!

The main reason why so many kids are allergic to peanuts is because they are injected with the vaccination which has peanut oil in it at such a early age.  They have been using peanut oil in vaccinations since the 1960's.  You can look up the statistics, but before this era it was extremely rare for people to have peanut allergies.  Now it seems like half of the children in America have this type of allergy.  Many people suffer from this allergy so terribly that they need an Epi-pen.

Injecting the child with peanut oil at such a early age causes hypersensitivity in the child.  This will cause a person to be allergic to peanuts for a lifetime.  It's not a risk I would be taking.
