No I've been drinking it for years, my teeth are LOVELY lol. 😁 And plus I don't buy into any of that concerning stuff.. So I dont seem to attract it.
Right!
I've been cleansing using the OCM (oil cleansing method)
Google it for reviews on Makeupalley if you think I'm cray cray 😊
Cherished Oil Cleanser:
The oils I usually add in are:
• 20 Drops Ylang Ylang Oil
• 12 Drops Lavender
• 8 Drops Bay Leaf Oil
• 6 Drop Rosemary Oil
Lately I've just been adding some Tahitian Spa oil!
Add the essential oils to:
45ml Sweet Almond Oil (health food shop- I use Melrose)
Stir well and then add 5ml organic Castor Oil (pharmacy)
Shake
To cleanse, you run a micro cloth under hot water and wring it dry. Place over your face and hold, relaxing. Repeat a few times, until you makeup has vanished! Then splash with cool water and pat dry.
Tone.. Cherished ACV Toner Recipe:
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Clean glass or plastic spray bottle
• Green Tea
• Distilled water
To cut the vinegar smell, you can scent the toner with your choice of Essential Oils. Or not. I often choose Ylang Ylang and Lemon. Sometimes rose or lavender.
What you do:
• Fill bottle with 50ml of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
• Heat 1 cup of distilled water and bring to boil, add 5 green tea bags and let it steep for 30 minutes or longer, then remove teabags. Once the green tea has cooled completely, pour 100ml into bottle with ACV
• Add Oils as desired
The only moisturizer I ever use now are rosehip and jojoba oils- a few drops in my hands and splashed with water.
If you imagine it in your mind..
Believe it in your heart..
Feel it in your soul..
You will hold it in your hand 💞

Ok so first things first!! My favourite thing in the entire universe I think.. is CHOCOLATE!
Which is tricky when you're dieting down lol. Almond Chocolate is the bomb!
SO instead I've found the perfect solution, my vortexy path of least resistance.. I made my own chocolates!!
1/4 cup raw cacao
1/4 cup coconut oil
Liquid sweeter/agave or honey to taste
Almonds
You simply melt the coconut oil (no prob in Oz 😜)
Stir in sweetness and cacao
Pour into mini muffin moulds
Drop an almond into each
Refrigerate
After an hour or when hard, use a knife to lever them out, place in plastic container and leave in fridge.
Coconut oil gas so many benefits, not to mention it keeps you feeling nice and full! So I eat one of my chocolates morning and night as my special treat, and the world is s beautiful place 💜👏🏼🌈
ohhhhhh yumm!!!!!
so i just tested this out :D it is PERFECT! though i ate the first mix all in one sitting so had to make more, then tasting it again i think i added too much syrup so.... ahahaha felt a little sick 
i just left it in a cup to eat like a nutella, and that is perfect too, but i've found that i can pour it into ice cube trays! since i don't have the muffin moulds.
i've heard of the oil cleansing method but never tried it! are the oils usually expensive to buy? it sounds divine!
i used to use an acv toner too a little similar but not quite as nice, i'm going to try this one!
with ACV, how much do you drink in each shot? i'm not scientific in mixing it, i just pour in a splash of ACV then dilute it with water probably 1 part ACV and 4 parts water (?), but only a couple of sips is enough to make me feel... ahhh er energised! lol
progress report for me later today!

I loooove pure argan oil and virgin coconut oil as moisturizer! People always compliment me on my skin and I tell them to ditch their commercial moisturizers AND GET OILY!
I use argan oil in the morning under my makeup and then VCO as a makeup remover at night.
You can also use VCO for your hair once a week. Just soak your hair in it, put it under a shower cap and let it sit for 2 hours, and then rinse!
And VCO as an overall body lotion, too! Some days, I dream about diving into a swimming pool filled with VCO and emerging a super hydrated baby princess lol.

i even love the taste of coconut oil (specially with rice malt syrup lol!) so i would probably end up drinking that swimming pool as well lol!!!! ohh i love your skincare regime, sounds fab. i've never tried argan oil on my skin, i've only had it as an ingredient in shampoos and frankly i think i need to get the pure stuff, because it's barely there in commercial shampoos...
i have naturally oily-ish hair, and i only tried coconut oil once in it, i did it the wrong way.... i put in shampoo then used it as conditioner and too much and just washed it out and my hair emerged REALLY OILY like it's never been before 
i love just using virgin coconut oil on my face as moisturiser...feels so pure! and i even like it on my lips, so softening...
still working on drinking more water (and doing more yoga 
), i keep forgetting though!
thanks veggiepizza for the tips!

I actually think I drink TOO much water hahahaha I'm always the sweatiest person in yoga class. I always have a 1L bottle with me and I refill it at least 4x while at work. I just love water! Try adding lemon and cucumber slices, if you haven't.

Yes to pure argan oil! I used shampoos mixed with argan oil and it's really just a bunch of -cones haha so I prefer spending on the pure stuff.
I dont apply coconut oil on my hair on normal days cos it'll make it super greasy. I even wait til my hair is fully dry before lotioning up with VCO. I've heard jojoba oil is great for cleansing skin but I haven't tried it.

my goal is to shed 6kg by the end of it and to have toned muscles (no flab!) including toned butt lol and just really really fit like i use to be, no, even more fit (or is it fitter???)
oh and since hair and skin are still part of body, i want my sexy bod to include shiny healthy hair (it isn't bad but a bit lacklustre) and a glowing complexion ☀
Hi,
I am in in in..... I have exactly the same goals. & Kilos and getting really fit. My idea was to reach this Goal within 3 months but if it goes faster the better.... I used to exercise a lot. For 2 years now I stopped exercising or only went 2 times a week. Running only 1-2 a week. My nutrition is distorted aswell. I want to pick up my former habits which gave me so much stability:
lots of exercise, good and fresh Nutrition, positve thinking
I will write everyday how it went for me......
