You might have heard of Jordan Rubin, author of the Maker’s Diet and founder of Garden of Life. In April of this year, he started a new company, and in these videos he shares his passion about his vision for health, the company and the world. Jordan encourages eating food that is biblically kosher and his meat is slaughtered accordingly. I hope you will enjoy these as he reveals his heart and his passion for our Father.

No Shampoo? No Problem!

I have a confession to make =) I have not used shampoo since July 6th.
Why would I do a crazy thing like that?
A couple of reasons.
- One, it saves money
- Two, it is healthier for my hair
Just like the bar of “soap” you buy at the store, shampoo strips your hair of it’s natural oils. Actually, most of the bars you purchase are not really soap at all, but detergent in bar form. They are full of chemicals and additives that dry your skin. Shampoo does the same thing. Even some organic shampoos, which are very expensive. It may not save a whole lot for one person to give up shampoo, but what about a family of 7?
I read about not using shampoo quite a while ago. It’s often called the “No poo method”. I even attempted it, but there is a breakthrough period and I gave up too soon. This time around I determined that I would wear hats or whatever I needed to get through it and I can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks already!
Here is a picture my daughter just took for me. It’s breezy outside, so my hair is blowing, but you can see how healthy it looks.
3 weeks with no shampoo
The first time I also tried to “wash” my hair with baking soda and it was gritty and I didn’t like it. This time I have only scrubbed my scalp with my fingernails and then twice I have rinsed with apple cider vinegar (ACV). I think I’m going to make it! =)
I like finding little ways to save money and be more natural. I now only use my homemade soap, homemade deoderant and it looks like I won’t be using shampoo any more either. Next is toothpaste. =)

I don’t very often do this, but I am starting a new business and wanted to let you all know about it. I posted in the last year or so about a book I have titled “The Makers Diet” by Jordan Rubin. I lend it out all the time… in fact, it is lent out right now =) Well, one day a few weeks ago, I was visiting some of my favorite websites and as one thing leads to another, I ended up on a website watching a video on how to make a healthy smoothie using my Vitamix. As I browsed around that site, I discovered that Jordan Rubin was starting a new business and looking for business partners. I highly respect Jordan, so after reviewing the products and philosophy, I decided to join. I have been going back and forth about having a home business. I have so thoroughly enjoyed not working, but I believe that this is the best way for me to be a helpmeet for my husband at this time. His type of work is seasonal and this year has been challenging even during the on season.
So, I am letting you all know for two reasons.
- I am looking for business partners who desire to work from home.
- I am offering some amazing organic products and if you purchase these types of foods already, why not support a sister? =)
You can buy occasionally or you can have a regular shipment for a discounted price. So far we have organic green-fed beef, organic raw cheese, probiotic chocolate, pure spring water and several probiotic kefir-type beverages. The prices are competitive with organic prices.
If you would like to read more about the products, visit my website at http://BeyondOrganicFood.KareSolutions.biz There is also information about the company there for those who are interested.

I’ve been learning some amazing things about the seeds and herbs our Creator put on this earth and how they can be used for our benefit. I am in awe with all He has given us to provide for our needs.
Watch Shoshanna in Action and Learn How Simple Herbs Can Be!
Lately, we have taken to watching herb remedy videos on YouTube (by Shoshanna) in the evenings. This is the same energetic young lady who runs the Bulk Herb Store ~ which I have a link to on the right side of this page. She is a wealth of knowledge! I feel like I will have to watch these every day in order to soak up all of the information.
Shoshanna will show you how to make simple tinctures, teas, syrups and more, to help you with issues such as parasites, poison ivy, liver problems, sleeping and so much more! And then, if you’re like me, you will have a hard time keeping your order within your budget. =) My latest order is partly for fun and partly for our health. We ordered 1/2 pound of Rise and Shine Tea, 1/2 pound of Red Rooibos Chai Tea, 1/2 pound of Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea and 1/2 pound of Double E Immune Booster Tea.
So go on over to the Bulk Herb Store and check out the videos and other great things she’s got there! Oh, and I don’t earn anything from your order there, so my zeal for her site is just that, excitement over a treasure I found!
By the way, Shoshannah’s mom, Debi Pearl is the author of the book Created to Be His Helpmeet, which I did a short review on earlier in the year.
