Every mother knows that for proper growth and development of her child needs healthy and versatile food. But after some unwritten rule that what is healthy and beneficial for a young child knows to be repulsive and distasteful….
Usually when your kid(s) refuses to eat and some parents may even blackmail their children: “if you do not eat Swiss chard you will not get chocolate!”
1. Let your child help you in the preparation of the meal. Two years old children enjoy making a mess in the kitchen, and if so let them do it during preparation and not during the meal.
2. If your kids make “Circus” on the table is credence to any great importance. Besides it does not look right in the eyes, but the point of view something else. You see, since a narrow focus on something else interesting to relax and have a real chance to eat some bites.
3. Do not insist the child to eat if he/she is too tired. First let’s take a break and then offer him/her a meal.
4. If he/she stubbornly refuses food, remove the bowl forcing him to sit for hours at the table. It has a counter-effect that makes your child irritable, and you mommy.
5. Try your culinary skills to show before the taster. Arrange the vegetables of different colors and different shapes because kids love out of the ordinary.
6. If the child does not want to eat mashed broccoli, do not immediately offer him the most beloved dish, because he/she will learn to manipulate you.
7. Mothers always be persistent and consistent. Only in this way you will achieve the desired goal. For that you do need great patience, but it pays.
8. Finally, try to turn the meal time into sweet fun. That doesn’t mean to bring a lot of toys on the table, instead fill the period with stories, songs and good fellowship with your little one and as reward you’ll get many kisses and sweet smiles that will make your day unique and irreplaceable.
Enjoy !

You Can Exfoliate Your skin in Just 10 Minutes
Lackluster and/or oily skin is one of the most common beauty problems, and when you consider the fact that the dermis, or the top layer of your skin, renews itself every two weeks, it’s no wonder why dried out, flaky skin happens.
When your skin renews itself, millions of dead skin cells are just sitting there, stuck on the surface of your body. While a lot of those dead cells fall off, a lot of them are left hanging there, collecting on top of each other.
Exfoliating your skin will remove the buildup of dead cells and give you a fresh, appearance.
How to Exfoliate Quickly and Inexpensively
Many of the big name cosmetic companies sell exfoliating creams, and they can work great; however, they can cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to exfoliate your skin; there are ways that you can make your own exfoliating product at home with items that you probably already have in your kitchen. And, as if that isn’t awesome news, you can create these exfoliating products at home in a matter of 10 minutes!
Here are three different DIY exfoliating products that you can try making today!
Sugar Scrub – You can exfoliate your skin with this homemade sugar scrub. The roughness of the sugar is great for removing the buildup of dead skin cells and lets the new, polished skin beneath shine through. A super simple sugar scrub can be made by combining ½ cup organic brown sugar, ½ cup of raw coconut oil and 1/3 cup organic pineapple juice. Just mix it up, massage it onto your face and rinse it off with cool water.
Banana Honey Face Mask – Make an exfoliating face mask out of bananas and honey (it actually sounds yummy to eat, too!) To make this mask, you’ll need to blend an organic banana with two teaspoons of raw, organic honey. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the mix and stir it up. Wash your face with an organic soap before apply the mask. Spread the mixture onto your face and let it sit for 20 minutes. Remove the mask with cool water and pat dry.
Extract Cleanse – Remove dead skin cells and open up your pores with organic soap that contains lavender. First, open your pores by place a towel over your head and holding your face over a pot of steaming water for about five minutes. Splash your face with lukewarm water and then spread the soap over your face and rinse.

Lose Weight in 7 Days
What do you know about the 7 Day Diet Fat-Burning Cabbage Soup ?
This excellent program includes consumption of the fat-burning cabbage soup for a period of seven days. What is amazing about it is that during this period, you are allowed to eat as much of the soup as you want, whenever you feel hungry.
The more you eat of this soup, the more calories you will lose since this soup won’t add any calories. Actually, it works as a meal with “negative calories”, so it will speed up your metabolism and as a result you will burn more calories than the ones you take in. In addition, you will also succeed to detoxify and slim down your body.
Take care not to skip a day, if you plan to travel or be somewhere else during the day, fill a thermos with your fat-burning soup and consume it as required in the diet plan explained below.
“This diet is derived from one given at the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital for overweight heart patients to lose weight rapidly, usually before surgery, and by Ed Kasper L.Ac, Acupuncturist and Herbalist.” (Food, by Rita, 7 Day Diet Fat Burning Cabbage Soup)
However, if eaten alone for indefinite periods, it may lead to malnutrition. During the course of this diet, you should drink plenty of fresh water, that is, ½ of your body weight in ounces of water. Optionally, you can also add kombucha to your diet for beneficial yeasts and bacteria for your digestive system.
The Recipe:
This soup can be prepared in several ways, but this article offers you two, the original diet cabbage soup and one other, which is a modified version, but amazing one, for it is all organic, and does not include soup mixes or canned vegetables.
Original Diet Cabbage Soup
Ingredients:
1 large head of cabbage, small chunks
2 (8 ounces) cans green beans
2 green peppers, sliced bite size
6 large green onions, chopped bite size
1 (1 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 bunch celery, sliced bite size
3 lbs carrots, sliced bite size
1 (16 ounces) can of diced tomatoes
salt and pepper
Optional: beef bouillon, tabasco sauce, curry powder, chopped parsley, cayenne pepper,
Preparation:
The preparation of this remarkable soup is simple, just put all the vegetables in a pot, add the spices, cover with water and bring to a fast boil for ten minutes and then reduce to a simmer. The vegetables should be cooked until they become tender.
Organic Diet Cabbage Soup
Ingredients:
1 large head cabbage, shredded
1 large onion, diced
1 poblano chile, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 garlic bulb, sliced
1 lb shiitake mushroom, sliced
fresh and pure water, no chlorine, or mineral-rich bone
1 kombu seaweed, rinsed and sliced
1 leek, rinsed and sliced
2 lbs tomatoes, crushed
broth
pepper
lots of herbs
salt (optional)
In a small amount of vegetable or coconut oil saute all vegetables, except for tomatoes and cabbage. Next, put them in a pot, add the tomatoes and the cabbage. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables become tender and then add some fresh or dried herbs and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste.
Also, you can prepare this soup in a crock pot for 6-8 hours.
7 Day Diet Plan:
Day 1: Eat soup and fruits only. You can also consume pure water, unsweetened tea, kombucha, or cranberry juice. All fruits can be consumed, but avoid bananas. You can eat more watermelon and cantaloupe a lot, since they are low in calories.
Day 2: Eat soup and vegetables only, and eat the vegetables along with the soup. Avoid dry beans, peas and corn and eat green, leafy vegetables. For dinner, you can reward yourself with a big buttered potato. No fruits are allowed.
Day 3: Eat all the soup, vegetables, and fruits you want, but you can have no baked potato for dinner. If you’ve followed the diet for three days, you can expect to have lost 5-7 lbs.
Day 4: The fourth day is banana and skim milk day! Both bananas and milk are high in calories and carbohydrates, but on this particular day your body will be in need of potassium, carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen cravings for sweets. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can along with the soup.
Day 5: up to 6 organic tomatoes, 10-20 ounces of beef, lamb, wheat gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken (no skin), or fish. Take note to consume a high-quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or hormones. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water in order to flush the uric acid out of your body. Eat the soup at least once during this day.
Day 6: You can eat as much as you want of beef, lamb, wheat gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken (no skin), or fish in combination with vegetables on day six. In addition, you can also have 2 or 3 steaks with green leafy vegetables. No baked potatoes today. Once again, be sure to eat the soup at least once during this day.
Day 7: Unsweetened fruit, vegetables and brown rice. There is no limit of the consumption of fruits and vegetables, but eat the soup at least once today.
Provided that you have followed all rules of the diet program, by the end of the 7th day you will have lost 10-17 pounds.
In case you have lost more than 15 pounds, make a 2- day pause and then resume the diet again from day 1. Always consider the fact that everyone’s digestive system is different and, therefore, this diet will affect everyone differently and can give different results.
If you follow it correctly, the Cabbage Soup diet will perfectly cleanse your organism of impurities. Furthermore, it will make you will feel lighter, more energetic, and healthier than ever before. What is great about it is that it can be used as often as you like. Continue this diet plan as long as you feel the difference both mentally and physically.
