Well its been awhile... AGAIN!
I really should stay on top of this but with my course, our business, and the children I am pretty busy!

So today we are trying a new Shea butter Calendula Cream recipe hopefully this is the one that works! 

I have been off coffee since February 15th and feel great. My face seems to be clearing up and I seem to have more energy. I have replaced it with ACV and honey with a tsp of Maca Root Powder.  That might be where my energy is coming from... however it tastes horrid but its not too bad mixed with my morning ACV,Honey, and hot water! info on Maca Root: 

Working in tandem with the body's natural rhythms, Maca root helps rebuild weak immune systems, re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies, and increase energy and endurance. As an adaptogen, maca works broadly to contribute to overall well being. It nourishes and calms the nerves with calcium, phosphorus, vitamins B1 and B12 , and fatty acids, all of which work beneficially on the nervous system. 

It stimulates the appetite and aids in digestion with calcium, vitamins B1 and B2, B12, and fatty acids. Its phosphorus is a primary building block in the cell fuels Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). 

At the same time it supports the adrenal glands so they don't have to rely on damaging corticol to fuel the body. Its sterols, calcium, and vitamin C help build muscle mass and its starches aid in physical endurance. Its alkaloids help the body assimiliate all these nutrients just where they are required.  http://www.macaroot.com/benefits/index.html
