OUR REVIEW

Love it!  

 

 

Fractionated coconut oil (FCO) is as it sounds, a fraction of the main coconut oil leaving mainly the medium-chain triglycerides and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a long shelf life and increased stability. The fractionating raises the comparative concentration of Capric acid and Caprylic acid, giving it more of antioxidant and disinfecting effect.

 

I use a lot of essential oils in our home, and often times we do apply them to our skin.  In order to safely apply essential oils to your skin you need a barrier oil to safely dilute the essential oil. This Fractionated Coconut Oil, by Radha Beauty is perfect for this as it goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel behind.  It has a light, silky feel and I personally like that it has no odor. It doesn't clog pores and is excellent for dry or troubled skin.  I often use it to remove make-up, and it's perfect when my girls decide to play dress-up, I can easily remove the makeup from their face without using anything toxic.  I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to try a Fractionated Coconut Oil with no fillers or additives.   And with a LIFETIME MONEY BACK GUARANTEE you have absolutely nothing to lose.  Shipping was super quick too!  Big thumbs up from Happy Green Baby!  (**our product did not come with a pump, so I can't tell you if it works or not.)

ALSO, right now you can get a bottle for $5.00.  Yes, only $5.  Spring is in the air and so are the deals at Radha Beauty!  We appreciate your interest in our brand, in return we are offering you to purchase our Fractionated Coconut Oil for just $5, and we want you to share this with everyone!

GO!   (**Disclaimer:  This offer is from Radha Beauty, and they have the right to discontinue offer at anytime.  HGB is not associated with this coupon offer.)  

*Beauty Tip from Radha Beauty*

If you have dry, damaged hair, it's also worth trying fractionated coconut oil. The capric and caprylic acids work as antioxidants and disinfectants, and the low molecular weight of the oil means it can easily penetrate the hair shaft.  Apply the coconut oil directly on to the hair and leave for 15 to 30 minutes. Alternatively you can add it to a mild shampoo, but don't add to much (no more than 50/50) as it doesn't mix well with certain shampoo types - especially non-SLS types. It's often a case of trial and error, so don't be worried about experimenting.

This means that they are not only good for the planet, but perfectly safe for children’s mouths as well!"  What an awesome company!

One last adventure with Nathan Rockledge and his alter ego Nate Rocks!

Join Karen Pokras Toz for one last adventure with Nathan Rockledge and his alter ego Nate Rocks.

About the Book:

Hey New York! Are you ready for Nate Rocks?

Fifth grader Nathan Rockledge has been counting down the days—and meals—until his class trip to New York City. Now that the big event is finally here, he can barely stand the excitement. After all, isn’t this what being a fifth grader is all about? Oh sure, his Mom is one of the chaperones, his annoying sister Abby is tagging along, and that know-it-all classmate, Lisa, will be there as well. However, none of that matters. Not when he’ll be with his best friends, Tommy and Sam.

While seeing the sights, his teacher wants his class to take notes, but Nathan has other ideas. With paper and pencil in hand, Nathan prefers to doodle, transforming himself into Nate Rocks, boy hero. Amid ninja pigeons to fend off, aliens to attack, and the baseball game of the century to save, will Nate Rocks be able to save the day one more time?

The next big sporting event is upon us...The Winter Olympics!

Little Passports Teaches You The Symbols of the Sochi Spirit in the 2014 Winter Olympics! 

The Winter Olympic Games take place in Sochi, Russia this year! Host Countries and Cities love incorporating distinctive cultural details throughout each Olympics to share their history and spirit with the world. What are some features that make the 2014 Winter Olympics’ symbols unique? 

Join Sam and Sofia as they learn about three of the Sochi Games’ distinctive symbols—the torch, medals, and mascots! 

The Olympic Torch
The countdown to the Games kicks-off with the Olympic torch relay, which delivers the Olympic flame from Olympia, Greece to the Host City through a series of runners. For the Sochi Games, each runner carries an eye-catching, red and silver torch. 



The torch’s curved shape is inspired by the feather of the golden Firebird, a mythical creature celebrated in Russian fairytales and folklore. According to one legend, the Firebird’s feathers “light the way” and bring good fortune and happiness. You might notice patterns inspired by the Firebird and its feathers throughout the Sochi Games. For example, look for them on Team Russia’s uniforms! 

 

The Olympic Medals
The top three finishers in every event will receive one of the 2014 Winter Olympic medals. They are metal and feature an etched glass-like insert with jagged edges resembling mountain peaks and the seashore. This design highlights Sochi’s unique position between the cold snow-capped Caucasus Mountains and the warm sandy beaches of the Black Sea. 

The medals also feature the Sochi Olympics’ recognizable “Patchwork Quilt” design, a mosaic of 16 traditional patterns that celebrate Russia’s rich traditions and cultural diversity. Keep an eye out for the colorful quilt design everywhere at the Games, such as on the torch bearers’ outfits and Olympic souvenirs! 

The Olympic Mascots
Sam and Sofia can’t wait to meet the Snow Leopard, the Hare, and the Polar Bear—the 2014 winter Games’ mascots! The Sochi Olympics invited everyone in Russia to submit their ideas for the mascots, and to vote for their favorite from the finalists. Officials selected the top three finishers, representing the three places on the awards podium, as the official mascots. 



These three native Russian animals represent the country’s spirit and embody the Olympic values. The Polar Bear is depicted as friendly, intelligent and always striving for new athletic heights, while the Hare is an excellent student and loves sports. Tough and strong, the choice of the Snow Leopard, a native of Sochi’s nearby Caucasus Mountains and a critically endangered species, draws attention to Russia’s increasing focus on animal conservation. Look for the three Olympic mascots spreading joy and Olympic spirit throughout the Games! 

Sam and Sofia can’t wait to join their friends in Russia to support athletes from around the world. They are very excited to keep an eye out for all of these Olympic symbols as they watch the Winter Games this year! 


Little Passports  isn't just for the Olympics.  Little Passports enables you to teach your child about the hundreds of different cultures around our world and around the USA. Each month, a package addressed to your kids (which they LOVE) arrives full of little goodies like stickers for their own passport, activity sheets that teach them about major landmarks around the world and gets their brain going with fun word scrambles. Little Passports even shares fun recipes that you can cook up with your kids to turn them into little chefs who know all about foods from different cultures. Subscriptions start at just $10.95/month which is another bonus! This is also the perfect resource for anyone who homeschools out there.

Let me know what you think after you get set up with your own Little Passports subscription.
