I have to say that I feel proud of just digging myself out of a massive hole of work. I was completely snowed under — behind on the accounting (my budget and bank account weren’t matching up, but my bank account and my tax forms were, thank goodness), behind on some of my background marketing and promotional work for…

You can use sesame oil in lieu of coconut oil for oil pulling that basically does the same ‘work’ according to the traditional ayurvedic approach.

This one may seem completely ridiculous, but I do a whole lot with nice oils on my body. I made my own body massage oil (carrier oil of your choice, mind — I used coconut because I have a lot of it on hand).

I’m so sorry. That’s terrible!

I love this version, too. :)
