Wordless Wednesday: "Greater Than"

How I Made The Switch To Natural Deodorant

So my journey in clean eating isn't just about food. Rather, it's an entire lifestyle change. If I really want to change, I have to look at what I put on my body. That too is seeping into my skin. I have really been questioning every little thing lately, including deodorant. I wanted to get rid of the aluminum, parabens and other non natural things that are often found in deodorant/antiperspirant. So I have made the switch to Crystal Deodorant. It comes in roll- on, stick or spray form. One very important part:put it on clean skin. I always apply it after I shower. I do find it does a good job of masking odor. The other secret: baby powder. The powder helps in relieving any wetness you might have since the Crystal is only a deodorant. I would like to try a more natural power as well. Perhaps arrowroot. I am also interested in making my own deodorant with coconut oil. But for now this is a great alternative to the crap I was buying!!

Foodie Friday:Crock Pot Lasagna

I am taking part in The Feminist Breeder's Family Food Friday, by posting recipes every Friday. I hope to share some healthy and delicious recipes with everyone. This is a favorite of mine because it's really simple. Just layer ingredients in crock pot and you are good to go!
You Will Need:
1 lb. ground beef or turkey or chicken ( I use grass fed, organic)
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
16 oz of cottage cheese
1 bag of spinach
Whole wheat lasagna noodles (uncooked)
shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)
To Prepare:
1. Spray crock pot with some kind of non-stick coating. I like to use an olive oil spray.
2. Brown your meat and add whatever seasonings you like.
3. Layer in crock pot: noodles (enough to cover) half of the beef, half of the sauce, half of the cottage cheese and however much spinach you want. Add some cheese. Repeat layers again and top with cheese.
4. Set on low and cook for 4 hours.
See how easy? It turns out a little soupy, but delicious!! Manja!

Movie Review: Vanishing Of The Bees

You really must see this movie. Why? It effects every single one of us. (Unless you don't eat.) If you haven't already heard, honeybees are disappearing. Quite mysteriously too. There are no dead bees, they just vanish. This is such a serious issue because without bees, we don't have food. The good news is we can actually help to fix the problem. I don't want to give too much of the movie away, but pesticides may be to blame for the problem. You can help by buying organic foods, planting your own garden or beekeeping. There really is a positive message at the end of the movie. Ellen Page narrates, which is cool too.
