Amazing Magnesium Chloride lotion for pain relief

9/25/2018

September is national pain awareness month. In this month I found a "miracle" like product that helped my SEVERE ankle and knee tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. Life-Flo Magnesium lotion is a Godsend. It has a light vanilla (essential oil) scent and simple natural ingredients. I have multiple chemical sensitivity and have no negative reactions from its use; only blessed pain relief. It has changed my life and now I am walking without pain and without the need for NSAIDS or other pain relievers. It is made with magnesium chloride which has better skin absorption than magnesium sulfate (aka Epsom salts). I found the best price on amazon.com. You may also try your local natural/health foods market.
You will not regret this purchase. If you know anyone with chronic joint pain, tendonitis or painful legs at night, this makes a great gift of love anytime. I believe God led me to try this product and now I am sharing this information with everyone I meet. Those of you you who know me personally know I am willing to try things if the science is good, and it is for this product.

Vegetarian Treats and Summer Coupon Deals

7/19/2018

Hello Friends,
I have recently stumbled upon some great deals on meatless, vegan and tasty real foods. Enjoy and share.
1. Delicious Dairy-Free, soy-free vegan ice cream is here with Halo Top .Flavors of the vegan and non-dairy ice cream include Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookie, Sea Salt Caramel, Caramel Macchiato, Cinnamon Roll, Birthday Cake and Chocolate Covered Banana. The dairy free is soooooooo amazing tasting, the ingredients are easily recognized, high protein and low calorie (bit of sugar and stevia) and contain no artificial colors. Don’t worry if you are a taster for stevia and hate it as I do. I cannot detect the taste in the dairy-free vegan flavors I have tried. My favorite thus far is the Sea Salted Caramel and Cinnamon Roll. I am working my way through the delicious flavors.

2 Can’t get to your local egg supplier? Nellie’s Eggs are the next best thing.

2018 February Freeebies, Coupons and Daily Deals

2/26/2018

Happy February Friends!
I know it has been a long time since I posted. I literally started the year off breaking my foot (thankfully my left one) on January 2 so I have been very slow in hunting down deals while shopping. I can say Food Lion stores have the most maneuverable motorized shopping carts that go faster and stop quicker than the ones at other stores. I have yet to knock down a display or hit anyone. Yeah!
Amazon Prime is one of my gifts from God with timely 2 day delivery of many shelf stable natural and organic items, facial tissues during the flu season and natural remedies normally found only in health food stores such as Whole Foods or your local co-op. Depending on the deal of the day, you may also find coupons for some of your favorite products. If you cannot find something and are unable to manage multiple store shopping to hunt down the best deals, check amazon.com.
I would like to share some great coupons, daily deals and recent freebies to aid you in your continued healthier, less processed living. Stay tuned for some more quick recipes using REAL foods you can prepare quickly, even with a broken foot.
