Homemade Teething Cream @ Modern Alternative Mama – does anyone have a teething little one who could test this out for me? My little lady only has her 2 year old molars pending, but teething never seemed to bother her anyway.
How to Microwave Gourmet Popcorn in a Paper Bag @ Squawkfox – I LOVE fresh, hot popcorn, but don’t have a popper. Can’t wait to try this chemical free method out.
Coconut Oil Pre-shave and Post-shave Treatment @ New Nostalgia – I’ve tried out coconut oil in baking, and am testing it out in cooking, but haven’t used it for personal care (YET!)
Oh my, it’s been a full week for me friends. Sorry if you missed seeing a new post yesterday. I’ll be back on schedule next week. As always, let me know if you come across any cool green ideas that need testing.

You don’t need a microwave to make popcorn. I use a saucepan with a lid. Put coconut oil in the bottom of the pan, a tablespoon of kernels, and put it on med-high heat. Make sure the lid is on, and shake it every 10-30 seconds. Works like a charm and no microwave needed.
I have a ten month old with NO teeth yet! Certainly I will be needing this soon right?
I shaved with coconut oil for a few months, and it did help with irritation/keeping my legs moisturized. I did find that it clogged the razor quickly, so I’m working on a new blend to see if that helps. I’m curious if you find the same issue or not when you try this out!
