I'm showing you a fantastic kitchen hack that will change the way you open and deseed a pomegranate forever! When I was a kid we had a neighbor with a big pomegranate tree that hung over his fence and onto the sidewalk. He gave all the neighborhood kids permission to pick as many as they could while they were in season. I LOVED those pomegranates... but my mom wasn't a huge fan!

I ruined a number of shirts as a little girl trying to cut and deseed them by myself - that juice sure can stain! I passed on my love for pomegranates to my kids - they can literally eat them like candy! But until a ... [Read More]

Coconut Oil – 5 Beauty Products You Can Now Replace

Toss the expensive beauty products and bring in the coconut oil! Use it in your hair, on your face, for shaving and more! Because coconut oil is naturally antibacterial, anti-fungal, and amazingly moisturizing....it's no surprise that people (smart ones) are running to it for their skin.

If you don't, here are my top 5 favorite beauty products that can be replaced with coconut oil! Coconut Oil Uses Coconut Oil for Face One of my favorite beauty product replacements has ...
