#Sagano Charcoal Powder Review

We love charcoal powder! 

For those that are afraid to use it, keep in mind that they've made charcoal pills for years and years. They help cleanse the stomach. Charcoal is in many tummy meds as well.

It's great for cleaning our teeth! I’ve been using it for many years, and haven’t had any cavities. It scrubs off food and plaque off your teeth. Unlike other teeth cleaners,  Sagano has a natural whitener that doesn’t strip the enamel off. It's also all natural. No aluminum, or other nasty chemicals.

Flavor:

It is a yummy mint flavor.

Just like you can pick other colors with products online, I wish they had other flavor options. Don't get me wrong, I do love mint.

Other Flavors I Think Would be Good as Well: 

• Orange
• Lemon
• Cinnamon
• Spearmint
• Peppermint 

What would be your favorite flavor? What flavor would you add?

Ingredients: 

• Coconut Shell
• Mint
• Fine Food Grade Charcoal Powder

Where to Buy Sagano Charcoal Powder:

You can get it on Amazon Prime for $15.95 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074H1ZHPL. It lasts a long time! You just sprinkle a little bit on your toothpaste. It's a 4 to 8 month supply!

Cleaning the Sink:

It does get dark speckles on your sink. That's kind of annoying. If you think about it there's white speckles from normal toothpaste. Remember charcoal is a cleaning agent. If it gets on the sink, it helps you to clean your sink too.

Radha Argan Oil Review

Well folks it's officially allergy season here. We had one day that was a high of 85 degrees! The temp dropped really fast, and the wind was super crazy! I got a migraine, and was a sneezing mess. 

I got out Radha Argan Oil, and added 10 drops of each essential oil: Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon. Then I rubbed it in my temples and the back of my neck. It was like a weight was off my sinuses.

Not only does it help my skin, my hair, but it also helps with my allergy headaches.

Cost: $49.95 - On Sale For $15.89.

About:

• One Ingredient - 100% Pure Argan Oil - No Fillers. There really isn't a smell at all. You can mix essential oils with it to give it a scent if you'd like. 

• The Highest Quality of Moroccan Argan Oil Found Anywhere - This is a 4 ounce bottle of goodness.

• Moisturizer and Heals Dry Skin and Hair - It naturally freshens, hydrates and softens dry skin, it also repairs and beautifies hair, from roots to split-ends and improves scalp health. It keeps fly away hairs down.

• High Quality Dropper - Comes with a QUALITY DROPPER for dispensing. I take the cap off and throw it away, and keep the dropper in it.  

• Free EBook -  That goes over the uses & benefits.

• Cold Pressed Virgin Oil - It being cold pressed ensures the best quality, highest-grade oil. It's unscented, lightweight & pure for the ultimate healthy glow.

• Certified Organic - Not only are they certified organic, but they are also not tested on animals. 

• Imported From Morocco and Bottled in the USA

Radha also has Fractionated Coconut Oil to try out! 

 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Baked - Dark Chocolate Doughnuts #Recipe

I like to eat healthy. At the same time a little sin with the healthy isn't bad. If I'm going to sin it's at breakfast time. Then my body has a chance to work it off during the day. Mica helped me make Dark Chocolate Doughnuts. 

They aren't totally bad for you. They aren't great for you either. Better than the ones in the stores.

• They have coconut flour in them
• The sugar is coconut sugar
• I used dark chocolate chips
• They are made with Tap Dancers Specialty Coffee

I couldn't get a picture before both boys took bites out of their doughnuts. I wanted a photo of their doughnuts because I didn't put the toppings on Dad's or mine.

I didn't make a special topping recipe. I just melted a little fountain chocolate, added it on top of 2 doughnuts, and used some toffee sprinkles on that I had in the cupboard. There are recipes online for the topping if you want to add it to all the doughnuts. You can try and glaze, or go for a chocolate topping like the boys had. You can use whatever sprinkles you want. 

I'm telling you that it's good without the topping to!

There is coffee in the doughnuts, but not a lot. We didn't have wired children after eating them.

If you don't have a doughnut pan, you can use muffin cups to make them.

Dark Chocolate Doughnuts

I like that this recipe is for baked doughnuts. 

The boys said it was the best breakfast ever! Do you like doughnuts?

Tropical Traditions Coconut Flour Review and Giveaway

Tropical Traditions sent me Coconut Flour to review and giveaway!

I decided to try and make Chocolate Chip Cookies. They turned out more like Chocolate Chip Nuggets. I changed the name of my recipe. They are just as good as cookies, but are healthier. Tropical Traditions Coconut Flour is organic, full of fiber and protein. Much healthier then All Purpose Flour! It works great for things like brownies, muffins and cakes! The package comes with a recipe on the back for brownies.

My little helper was Isaak. He put all the ingredients in the mixer. In this picture, he's getting ready to dump in the Coconut Flour.

I used a metal scoop to form the nuggets. The scoop size can vary depending on how big you like your desserts.

This is what they look like when they are finished:

Isaak polished off 2 small Chocolate Chip Nuggets. He wanted more! I packaged a big plate for work. They went FAST! A couple people were interested in the Organic Coconut Flour.

A Little Bit O' Information About This Flour:

• It is fiber from coconut meat. The oil is extracted to make Virgin Coconut Oil. *The extra fiber I'm sure is why my cookies stayed in the form of nuggets. Like I said it can be used for cakes, muffins and brownies. The Chocolate Chip Nuggets were different, fun and tasted really good! I usually learn more about the product after I've tried it out.
• It is certified organic.
• I love that it is unsweetened.
• Since Organic Coconut Flour contains natural sugar from the coconut meat, baked goods need less sugar added. I actually added less sugar to my recipe.
• This product has not been treated with sulfites.
• Is high in dietary fiber and protein.
• Is 100% gluten-free.
• You can use it to thicken up sauces and soups. Some people add some to smoothies for added protein.
• It smells so good!
• It was packaged well! They actually put it in two thick plastic bags.

Recipe

 Directions
