Coconut Whitening Toothpaste

We all know my obsession with coconut by now, so you can imagine how excited I was to see Jason's new coconut toothpaste. The Simply Coconut Whitening Toothpaste just launched. It comes in four flavors, coconut creme, coconut mint, coconut eucalyptus and coconut chamomile. I got the coconut creme and i'm in love.

It's made with virgin coconut oil, bamboo powder, strawberry extract and pineapple enzyme to give your teeth a stain-free sparkle. It has a very creamy texture and a little bit goes a long way. I can definitely taste the strawberry extract. It's also 99% earth sourced.

The Jason Simply Coconut Whitening Toothpaste promise: no fluoride, no SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), no parabens, no artificial sweeteners, no saccharin, no propylene glycol and no gluten.

I like it so much, I think i'm going to order the coconut mint one too. I always complete my routine with my Jason Coconut Mouth Rinse. This is the best mouthwash I have ever used. You can buy them both on Amazon.com, Luckyvitamin.com, or at Whole Foods.

Let's Talk About Wrinkles..

Age, sun, smoking and regular use of facial expressions all contribute to wrinkles. We all want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles as much as possible. Before reaching for the expensive, chemical-ridden, anti-aging products, try these natural remedies first. 

Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. This can flush your body toxins and promote healthy, glowing skin. The moisture can also plump up your skin and temporarily fill wrinkled areas. 


A perfect anti-aging serum can’t be made without lavender oil. Mix 15 drops of lavender oil to 1 ounce of jojoba oil and also add 5 vitamin E capsules and store in a glass bottle. Apply on your face twice a day to remove wrinkles. Lavender oil helps restore the skins elasticity. Jojoba oil is one of the most hydrating oils in the entire world. The antioxidants in jojoba oil soothe fine lines wrinkles and slow down other signs of aging. 


Apply witch hazel to your wrinkles before going to bed. Witch hazel contains tannins, which can help smooth out wrinkles by tightening your skin. Apply 4 to 5 drops of witch hazel to a clean cotton ball and gently massage the affected area in small circular motions.


Make castor oil your best friend. Castor oil is one of the oldest-known wrinkle treatments. At around $3 a bottle, it's also the cheapest. By applying castor oil to the skin, you help to soothe your skin, restoring its natural youthful appearance and helping to diminish unsightly wrinkles. 

Sleep on your back. Sleeping on your side causes you to get wrinkles on your cheeks and chin. Sleeping on your stomach causes you to get wrinkles on your forehead. If you can't get out of the habit of sleeping on your side or stomach, then make sure you are sleeping on a satin pillowcase. 


Exfoliate. Exfoliating gets rid of all the dead skin making your wrinkles less noticeable. Just don't overdo it, I only exfoliate my skin 2-3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin, you should only exfoliate once a week.
