Was not really going to walk into the city today but something just made me get up and go. I walked around and really tried to stay firm with myself and refrain from buying myself something I did not need.  There was a voice in my head...I hear this voice often lol that told me to just take a sneak peek into my favorite store... so i did. Lots of amazing deals for ending season. I walked about a mile in that store alone just looking , picking up, looking, carrying around, putting back down...walking back to get because i feel I might need it. I will address this problem in another challenge ... I finally came to a decision though and stood in the long line I tried to shrink with mind power.. I stood there ...looking around and saw out of the corner of my eye a profile i recognized...I turned to get a better look... There at the cash register was my long lost friend...that i lost touch with 12 years ago! I have been looking for him since I moved to Nürnberg. We hugged so tight and I knew instantly our friendship would be the same as it was when we first became friends. Happy day.

COCONUT BUTT

The coconut palm harvests matured coconuts that contain a kernel which edible oil is extracted from and for generations, this type of high quality vegetable oil has provided the primary source of fat in millions of peoples diets and also has medicinal qualities that can promote cellulite reduction. And it's safe to say that by using a dry shower brush to massage coconut oil into any of your trouble areas where cellulite accumulates for about 10 minutes daily encourages new skin growth and exfoliates your epidermis, while also stimulating blood and lymphatic flow which can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite on your thighs, butt, stomach, lower back and even underarms.

Today I feel quite well. Cravings are at a minimum and I have no dizzy spells. I spent the day working on some music business and exchanging ideas with friends. The down time is sometimes the best time to find your next step and which direction to take it in. Positive vibes for exciting times.

Last post for the year. Successful start to the new parts of my journey that I have planned.

Tomorrow starts a fasting process. The first 2 days I will be taking it quite easy movement wise because I will to start only be taking in water. Fresh and clean the body deserves this new beginning.

deal on what you bring to the New Year.”

Slide into the new year with grace and class.

journey will all be worth it in the end.

Whipped Coconut Oil Body Butter

 Less than $2 a jar this lotion works wonders.

    Super simple to make and literally only requires one

ingredient. Vitamin E oil and essential oils completely optional.

Wrap it in a up in a pretty jar and share it with a friend.

What you need:

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vit E oil (optional)
• a few drops of your favorite essential oils for fragrance (optional)

1. Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Note: Do not melt the coconut oil first. It will only whip up if it’s solid.

2. Mix on high speed with a wire whisk for 6-7 minutes or until whipped into a light, airy consistency.

3. Spoon the whipped coconut oil body butter into a glass jar and cover tightly. Store at room temperature, or in the refrigerator if your house is so warm it melts the oil.

Tip: An electric hand mixer will work just fine or a high tech kitchen mixer will also do an awesome job.  Do not use a  blender or food processor with this coconut oil recipe, because they tend to warm the oil too much and prevent it from whipping up.

SideNote: Whipped oil should stay quite soft and not eventually harden up like it would in the glass jar just in its regular state. Some beading as it sweats is normal.
