Free Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions!
If you happen to be on the computer today, you absolutely must take advantage of this offer!
Tropical Traditions is offering a FREE 32 oz. jar of their Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil through midnight, December 25th.
You must make a minimum purchase of $12.99 and pay shipping of around $6, but don't let that scare you.
The 32 oz. jar is normally $40, and this is about the highest quality coconut oil you're going to get.
As an idea to get to the $12.99 mark, the quart jars of expeller pressed coconut oil are on sale for $14.99, so you would end up getting that and 32 oz. of virgin coconut oil for $14.99+ shipping! Regular prices for both of these would be $62.50!
I'm definitely getting my order in!
To get yours:
- Go here and add the 32 oz. jar of Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil to your cart. (FYI: There are several places to add the 32 oz. jar, but there is one specifically that lists the price as $0. It won't work unless you click that one!)
- Add another $12.99 worth to your cart. (The expeller pressed coconut oil is toward the bottom of this page if that's what you want.
- The price of the virgin coconut oil will automatically be deducted at checkout.
Hurry! This offer is only available through the end of Christmas day!
(Disclosure: I receive a small gift code from Tropical Traditions when you make a purchase through these links. I greatly appreciate it!)
Healthy Homemade Hot Chocolate
Those who know me know that I am a hopeless chocolate lover. Just absolutely hopeless.
But, nonetheless, I have been somewhat better about letting myself indulge lately. I know I don't need the sugar. But it's hard. It's really hard.
So here's a way I can indulge in a healthy way! A complete win-win!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao (maybe a little less if you don't like such a strong chocolate taste)
- 4 tablespoons raw honey
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly. When heated to your liking, serve and enjoy! Makes 2 servings.
Note: You could also use cocoa instead of the raw cacao. I just like to use the raw cacao because it is better for you and also has a richer taste. I get it pretty inexpensively at Thrive Market.
Are you a chocolate lover like me? What's your favorite healthi(er) chocolate treat?

DIY Peppermint Spice Lip Balm
I love this DIY Peppermint Spice Lip Balm! I intended to make it for gifts, but I ended up keeping it for myself!
It's so easy to make too! Here's what you do:
Melt the following in a saucepan:
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon beeswax beads
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa butter
When everything has turned to a liquid state, add 3 drops peppermint oil. Pour into desired container (I used an old tin from a pack of mints.)
Enjoy!

Why I Don’t Get Up Early
Read any book or blog post on time management and productivity, and chances are pretty good you will be told to get up early.
I agree – getting up early helps my days run more smoothly and helps me be more productive.
But I don't get up early, and I have a very good reason.
Right now is not the right season of life for me to be getting up early.
I have a 3 week old baby. She's doing really well with sleeping, but nonetheless I am still running on too little sleep.
A lack of sleep is a large contributor to imbalanced hormones. Imbalanced hormones are almost a surefire way to send me right back into chronic fatigue. I don't want to go there.
I could beat myself up for not toughing it out and getting up and getting going on my day. Or I could recognize that there are seasons of life and get the proper rest until this season passes.
What season are you in? Are you feeling guilty because other moms seem to do so much more than you do? Do you need to recognize the season of life you are currently in, and do what's right for you at this time?
You're not them, and they're not you. It's okay to sleep in. In fact, it may be more than okay – it may be good.
Do you have little ones who won't sleep in? Sleep as long as you can in the morning and take a nap in the afternoon.
There will be a time and a place to get lots done. Maybe now is not that time and place.
For more information on sleep and other factors which can help you overcome fatigue, check out my new ebook, Farewell, Fatigue: How I Overcame Chronic Fatigue the Natural Way.
