Chicken Salsa

This is an easy and very yummy crock pot recipe. 

* Chicken Breast (or any chicken you choose.  Try to use boneless)
* Taco Seasoning
* Diced Tomatoes ( you can use canned diced tomatoes)
* Salsa
* Garlic
* Red Onion chopped up
* Green onions
* Shredded Cheese
* Sour Cream (optional)

Add the chicken breasts and season it with the taco seasoning.  Then add the diced tomatoes, salsa, chopped garlic, chopped red onions.  Let is simmer on low for 6-8 hours in the crock pot.  When its done, shred it with your fork and garnish with the green onions and cheese. 

When I put it on my plate I add sour cream.  This is good by itself, on top of chips to make chicken nachos or on top of rice.

Hard Water

 

 

I know this is gross, but if your shower head looks like this, more than likely you live in an area with hard water.  There are some things that you can do to help with the hard water.  You can purchase a hard water shower head. 

 

For those of you that don't know, hard water comes from the excess calcium and minerals that are in the water.  The shower head that is made for hard water will help filter the water.

 

If you cant afford a hard water filter, you can just clean your existing shower head with vinegar.  If you are able to remove the shower head, place it in a bucket of water that has half water and half vinegar.  If you can't remove the shower head, you can half fill a gallon sized Ziploc bag with half vinegar and half water.  adhere the Ziploc bag with the water vinegar solution to the shower head with a rubber band.  

 

Which ever method you decide to use, you may need to use a tooth pick to get into the holes and an old tooth brush to clean the head.  When you are done cleaning it, let the water run through the shower head for 2-5 minutes and your shower head will be like new.

Heathly Smoothie Reciepe

Smoothies are a easy way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.  Try to use a green veggie (spinach and kale) and any fruit that you like.  Below is one of my favorite recipes.

* Two handfuls of spinach
* Banana (freeze the peeled banana and it will be yummy)
* Apple (don't put in the seeds)
* Cup of Vanilla Greek Yogurt
* 12 oz of water (use less water if you want it to be thick)

It is so yummy.  If you need to make it more sweet add a natural sweetener like stevia or even add more sweet fruit.

Enjoy

Baby Its Cold Outside

Wow this has been a really cold winter.  You know its cold when Chicago closes schools because the wind-chill factor is 40 below zero.  When I hear those kinds of forecasts, it makes me happy about my decision to move to North Carolina.

It is very important to keep your skin moisturized especially in the winter months.  The winter months will cause you skin to be a little more dry than normal.  All Over Butter will help with that problem.  Its made with 4 luxurious butters, coconut oil and scented with essential oils. It will help keep your skin soft and moisturized.  You can also use it in all hair types.  If you have very fine straight hair, you can rub a dab in the palm of your hand and apply it to your ends.  If you have a relaxer, you can use it to help stretch the time in between relaxers.  If you are natural, you can use it to seal in the moisture. regardless of your hair type, it works best when your hair is wet.

Let's Get Healthy

You know I always say, "What you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body."  Well I must confess that for the past few years I have neglected my body.  I cared more about what I put on my skin than what I put in my body.  Not realizing that what I put in my body effected the health of my skin.

At the beginning of 2013 I weighed 220lbs.  I am now down to 202lbs.  I was slack last year because I only lost 18lbs.  I know that I shouldn't be hard on myself because at least I lost something, but I am hard on myself because I didn't put in much effort.  I barely exercised.  I went hard on the exercising for a few months and then fell off the wagon. This year I vow to do much better.  I will exercise 3 times a week and eat more healthy.  I don't want my bad habits to rub off on my grandchildren.  I try to drink a fresh homemade smoothie everyday and drink plenty of water.

Lately I have been very cautious about what I put in my body.  I now not only read the ingredients of my body care products, I also read the ingredients of my food. 

From now on, we will post a healthy recipe a week.  Email your favorite healthy recipe to care@naturallyme.us and put your name and Healthy Recipe in the subject line. If it is posted, you will receive a special gift from Naturally Me.  The gift will be a surprise.  It will be anything from a gift card to get some fresh produce from your local grocery store to a fabulous gift set from Naturally Me.

Every Naturally Me order will include a fitness tip and a healthy recipe.  We want you to be healthy on the inside and out.

Ceramides - Very important word for eczema suffers

Most people who suffer from eczema have a low level of ceramides on the top layer of their skin.  Ceramides are one of the major factors that help your skin to retain moisture.  Ceramides are lipids (fats) naturally found in our skin to help our skin retain moisture.  Lack of ceramides causes dryiness of and disturbs the skin barrier. Applying natural oils that are rich in ceramides can help strengthen the skin barrier. Below is a list of ceramide rich oils.  Although there are lots of oils, these are ones that have high concentrates of ceramide.   

·         safflower oil  

·         grapeseed oil

·         poppyseed oil

·         sunflower oil

·         hemp oil

·         canola oil

·         wheat germ oil

When selecting a body oil for your little one, make sure that it primarily contains ceramide rich oils. Naturally Me’s Eczema Oil is made of safflower oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil and canola oil.
