Measuring Tape

Do yourself a favour, stop standing on a scale. If your interested in tracking your body's size, use a measuring tape. Measure everything. Neck.  Biceps. Above your breasts. Around your breasts (nipple line).  Smallest part of your waist. At your Belly button. Largest part of hips. Thighs. Above your knee. Calf. 
5lbs of fat and 5lbs of muscle weigh the same...5lbs. BUT muscle is smaller than fat. Your standard bathroom scale does NOT measure that.

Mason Jars

Smoothies, shakes, juices, energy drinks, .... all require a vessel to mix and to consume. Utilizing a mason jar, or old jam jar is brilliant. Glass is easy to clean, does not stain or leach toxins. The jars are calibrated to take the guess work out of "how much" is in this? The jars come with seals that are tight fitting, which make the container suitable for travel or storage.

Avocado Oil


Toss away your expensive moisturizer! Avocado oil has a multitude of skin care benefits. 
Easily and quickly absorbed, it moisturizes your skin without the additional chemicals found in store bought moisturizers. When applied to your skin it boosts collagen which plumps skin and reduces the look of aging. Additionally, the oil of this fruit can treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, burns and wounds.

LIME

 It has been said that the use of salt leads to hypertension, water retention and destruction of the flavours in food. Industrial salts like table salt, kosher, and cheap sea salts are not foods they are chemicals.  If salting your culinary creations is a must, consider the use of LIME. Lime hits on the same taste buds as salt, however, it grows on trees.
