Just Drowning in my Car.

   I had a dream last night that I was barefoot out side playing in the rain, I miss summer soooo much! We had nice weather again today other than the wind, it was warm and sunny so I shouldn't complain. From my post yesterday you probably know that I'm trying to make healthy changes, like switching the unhealthy foods I like to eat, to something a little healthier, and somewhat low calorie too. I'm also trying to Change my everyday habits though. I exercise more, make my own tooth past and I even tried oil pulling! 

 

    Oil pulling is when you swish coconut oil around your mouth for 20 minutes or so. I try to do it in the morning, this morning I was running a wee bit late so as I was running out the door I just shoved a spoonful of coconut oil in my mouth and ran out of the house. As I started driving though I noticed I might have over filled my face hole. I had a hard time trying to remember to breathe and watch what I was doing and swishing it around ( I don't multitask well ). When twenty minutes were up I was in another predicament, where to spit, I was going to spit it out the window but it was so windy I thought it would come back in my face then I would be blind, and die. I was pretty sure that this was how it was going to end for me, drown in coconut oil, and here I thought I was going to drown while swimming and laughing.        ( again I don't multitask well and can't do both ) Then I found a coffee cup on the floor and just spit in that a threw it away when I got to class. :) I survived my ordeal and my teeth felt amazing! 

  I would check this web site out it explains everything, http://wellnessmama.com/7866/oil-pulling-for-oral-health/ it also tells you how to do it! It really makes my teeth feel clean and fresh and it also whitens them! I love it, if you can get passed the texture, and the swishing forever than you to can enjoy the many benefits of oil pulling! It also helps to like coconut. :) 

At Last!

   I hope you all enjoyed this amazing warm day as much as I did. After what seemed like a never ending subzero winter we had 60 degree weather, and some sunshine!! I think it's just what we all needed! 

 

    I tried a new vegan cheese recipe a few days ago. I have to remember to eat these things in moderation! I can hear my self saying "Hello my name is Brianna and, I am a cashew cheese aholic" lol if you want the recipe let me know. Trying to change my diet a little to get healthy and substitute the bad things I eat with healthier ones, really made me creative!

  For instance as I was standing at the sink shoveling spoonfuls of Nutella in my mouth looking out at this beautiful day and two birds getting down and dirty in my backyard. I decided there had to be a healthier way to get a sweet treat! So I came up With this!!

Now I know it looks kinda weird and like some one scooped out a glop of it with their finger ( note to self photo first then feed face ) but it tastes really good!! I took about a half cup of plain Greek yougurt and mixed it with a tsp of Nutella and added two drops of mint extract!! So good and if you felt like you really deserved it you could add more Nutella and heck maybe even sprinkles, it's definitely something to give a try!! Love it sweet yet somewhat healthy! Can't give up every thing all at once! Have a great night everyone!! =D
