I am a long time advocate of Bentonite Clay. (And warm laundry, too, but I’ll get to that part later…) It’s an amazing product for detox and can be used internally and externally. So, when my sister told me last week that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I shared with her this resource. It’s especially recommended for those with breast cancer but anyone can use it. It does everything from calming nausea to remineralizing teeth but I think its primary value is in its ability to help you detox.
I love the Living Clay Detox Clay Powder, you can find it on amazon. www.mountainroseherbs.com sells a different brand of detox clay. I haven’t tried that particular brand, but I’ve heard good things about it.
I take the Living Clay every morning 1tsp in a little water, mix with a plastic or wooden spoon, though. Metal makes it less effective as the clay can absorb some of the metal from the utensil. I’ve also used it for a good facial and to help Fred and Ginger (my dogs) when they’ve had upset tummies (1/4 t. in their water bowl does the trick!).
Here’s Fred, btw, she watches me while I write… 🙂
Speaking of which..(the writing, not Fred) I have three new books coming out in 2016. Which is an adventurous schedule for someone who has two children, two other businesses, two dogs and one husband. But, I think I can swing it. Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise as my grandfather would have said.
My first book release of 2016 is a Contemporary Gothic entitled The Haunting of Alcott Manor. I’ll do a cover reveal on that one soon. I think you’re going to love the story — lots of mystery and romance!
My next release for the year is Book Three in The Fine Art of Deception Series — Lost in Time !!!
And the third release will be Book Four in the series!
If you haven’t yet started The Fine Art of Deception series, now is a good time to delve into this paranormal romance. (Or some call it Supernatural Suspense…) And not just because you might be snuggled by a cozy fire during snowmageddon, or maybe because of that, but also because I’ve marked Book 1 in the series to free for a limited time. Pick it up at Amazon, Kobo, Apple, Barnes and Noble or Smashwords.
And, if you have friends in Germany or the UK who love romance, they can find The Fine Art of Deception on Tolino.de and in libraries throughout the UK. Â
You can find Book 2 in the series at all the same locations!
So, now on to the surprising benefits of warm laundry. I was researching other benefits of Bentonite Clay and came across this site: www.bodyunburdened.com where she talked about making her own deodorant with the bentonite clay. I’m going to try this recipe, I’ll let you know how it goes… http://bodyunburdened.com/diy-all-natural-detoxifying-deodorant/Â Â
So, I wandered over to an article she had on wool dryer balls and I read this excerpt:
“Every once in a while – when I actually take my laundry out of the dryer just as it is finished rather than lazily leaving it for, oh you know, a couple of days or so – I throw it on my bed, dig my way underneath the heaping pile, and lie there enjoying the warmth until it dies out.
It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest pleasures I have ever known.”
Really? I wouldn’t have thought so. But, as luck would have it, it was laundry day. So, when I took the warm bundle from the dryer, I put it on the breakfast table. I took a seat and rested my head and shoulders on the pile of sheets to see what she was talking about.
Oddly, I was transported to those carefree summer vacations at my grandmother’s house when I was young. She would fix us a picnic lunch then we’d go to her brother’s house and swim in his pool. He always had English bulldogs with the funniest names.
Simple joys.
Just like warm laundry, apparently.
