How to loose weight fast with GOOD NUTRITION

Weight Loss Weight loss is the beginning of having a good nutritious diet. The simplest way of losing weight is to change one's eating habits, for life!. This sounds difficult, right? In fact it takes just 7days for a person to form a habit, so it will just take 1week to get used to your new eating plan. Bear in mind that one should not go onto a " Diet", but rather  change one's eating pattern and stick to it, or even improve it as time goes by. As a mother of 7 kids, with the eldest one being only 8years old, I cannot allow for any illnesses or allergies to occur as I would have no time to spend in waiting rooms at Doctor surgeries or Emergency units  at the Hospitals. My 7th baby is now 4 months old and I am still wearing size small clothing! Sounding impossible? So whatever it is that we are consuming is definitely working. If it was not for my husband, then I would probably be failing in everything that I do. When I decide on a certain eating plan for

Getting rid of grey hairs

Image
Initially one would say that its highly impossible to reverse your grey hairs back to its original colour.. Actually there are quite a few steps that does the trick ( depending on the severity of the grey hairs). The trick that I could truly vouch for and conform that it works would be 'coconut oil'. Yip, just a little bit of pure coconut oil massaged onto the grey haired areas and like magic it seemingly vanishes! Try buying a good quality coconut oil so that there is no stench coming from your hair. We use Palmer's Coconut oil for body. It actually does not look that bad, resembles a gelled hair effect. Well that is for a temporary quick fix on grey hairs. The long term disappearance of grey hairs results in your diet. As I have done a bit of research I have discovered that a diet high in Vitamin A and VitaminK are essential in keeping your natural hair colour for longer. Here again it would be coconut milk. There are lots of other food products that one co

Home made Butter from Raw Cows Milk In this post I will explain how to make pure butter using only cows milk! It is very good to eat when you are suffering from skin allergies as I have discovered with my 5year old son. Ok, once you have purchased your raw cows milk, place them in glass jars. I use Console. Let them sit in the fridge for at least 12hours so that the cream can move to the top of the milk. You do not need a cream separator , in fact I only use a deep dish up spoon, but you could use a ladel. From 10litres of milk I usually get 1 litre of cream out, depends on the type of cow that was used. The cream needs to go into a glass jar as well and sit on your counter top for 12hours in order to culture. Thereafter I just simply place all the cultured cream into my blender and blend it on Speed 2, until small blobs of butter starts forming. Lower your speed to 1 and continue to blend until it gets thick and struggles to move in blender. Scoop it all out and strai

About Me

Having a life filled with beauty is priceless. At the end of the day everything turns into a sparkling jewel. All you have to do is reach out and follow the path to that jewel.. Precious.. My husband, being my best jewel , always makes sure that everything goes smooth (with kiddie mishaps in between). He is my anchor to sanity, rescues my difficult moments and takes over, leaving me to destress with a cup of tea and cookies.  When he is not home and my 7kds are around me whole day life gets pretty tough at times, and feels unbearable. But then all of a sudden I hear little voices calling out my name and tiny fragile arms hugging me. A smile cannot help but to creep up onto my lips erasing all the negativity I just felt. That's the 'jewel'... Life..
