Very Stressful Week!...but Must Keep Pushing!

This is a very stressful week, but i must keep moving forward.

My mom had gotten sick, but now she is getting better. (Thank God!)

My son lives with her and goes to school in Houston while I live, work, and go to school in Jackson. So, just like that I'm on my way to Houston. My sister usually does this, but now it's my turn to take the hits. Hard part is I'm in my last semseter of my Junior year in College as a Chemistry major. I'm already in a semester of retakes and cannot fail. My son's life basically depends on it. I have missed word, late work and it just keeps on piling. We already started school late so already behind. 

So, I stayed in Houston for a week just racking up debt while I took care of my mother and son. I'm glad I was able to help care for her despite my own priorities. However, I am back home, with son in tow. Now I can't go to school and my work schedule is thrown off. Everything happens for a reason though, right?

I have 3 months to get my life together to get ready for the military and I need to be zen. So, its time to put my big girl panties on pay down this debt and get these grades! Ready, set, and GO!

You can get these in your diet by stirring a spoonful in your hot drink, add to smoothie in a blender, butter substitute, eat a plain spoonful, or just simply take capsules.

2. Killing Candida

C.O. has Capryllic Acid which enters the cell walls of Candida yeast, causing it to break. Capric acid disturbs yeast cytoplasm and dismantles the membrane. Since Lauric and Capric acid work together to reduce the chance of yeast build-up Candida the yeast doesn't become resistent against a single additive.

3. Skin Moisturizer-

C.O.  decreases wrinkles, kills harmful microorganisms (prevents growth), reduces inflammation, very good for eczema, and might be helpful with acne. It also hydrates the skin and acts as a barrier to to keep out bacteria. However, it's not for oily skin. 

4. Furniture Polish-

When you mix C.O. with lemon juice it smells great and the concoction shines and acts as a sealent
