I learned about Oil Pulling from their website. I am a total believe in using essential oils in our home and on me and my children. Oil pulling is an effective form of traditional Ayurvedic medical technique. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems. It was developed thousands of years ago in India and is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda focuses on five major natural elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ether.
How Oil Pulling Works
When Dosha balanced pure oil is swished in the mouth, oil soluble toxins dumped in saliva adhere to the oil. According to Kulreet Chaudhary, MD a prominent neurologist and Ayurveda expert “the body has several mechanisms that allow it to ‘dump’ toxic particles into the salivary glands. Following Ayurvedic tradition, oil pulling helps to increase the secretion of saliva and trap the toxins within the oil particles. With oil pulling, the salivary glands of the mouth function as a detoxifying organ”.
The act of swishing the oil pulls the oil soluble toxins and harmful microbes residing in the mouth from the fat cells. When practiced regularly, oil pulling can reduce inflammation. That is because as the level of toxins in the toxic fat decreases, the body withdraws water around them and reduce inflammation. Consequently, the PURE system that has become ineffective can finally function effectively again. To read more about Oil Pulling, go to https://www.gurunanda.com/oil-pulling.html.

My Review:
I fully believe in using essential oils in our home and on me and my family. We hardly get sick anymore. Before using essential oils, we were in and out of the doctor's office because someone was always getting sick. It seemed like we'd walk in with one sick child, and leave with two more sick kids with two different illnesses. I was a continuous, constant battle. I was skeptical at first. I even went to an essential oil party at a friend's house and I still wasn't a believer. We came home with a 5ml bottle of Wild Orange essential oil. It smells fantastic and it's a great mood lifter. I started using it on my sleepy kids and myself in the morning. Within a few weeks, we noticed a difference in our family. So then, I tried an oil blend for children who have problems focusing in school. Again, I didn't think that it would work. But after two weeks and speaking with his teachers, it did work! It has made a huge difference in my son's behavior and focus in school.
Now we are using Diffusers in our home, and especially one small one just for his bedroom. We now own three of them! The GuruNanda aromatherapy starter kit comes with two 100% pure essential oils: lavender and peppermint. It is very easy to use. You just remove the lid, fill it with water to the red dot, add a couple drops of essential oil, put the lid on (the lid just sits on top), plug it in, push the button and that's it! It begins diffusing immediately and the smell is amazing! Push the button once to have to have the Diffuser on constantly (it will run for about two and a half hours this way). Once it's on, push the button a second time, and it will defuse on and off from time to time for up to five hours!
The diffuser changes colors and hardly makes any noise. You can hear the motor, but it's nothing louder than a tiny fan. It's very soothing. I even use it in my bedroom as the light isn't bright and when it changes colors it doesn't seem to bother me at all. The diffuser doesn't have an automatic shut off though. So never leave it on when you leave the house. I always make sure to unplug it when I am done using it. Setting a timer in your home, if you can, or on your cell phone for 2 1/2 hours can help you to remember to turn it off or refill it for some more wonderful relaxing that this diffuser helps provide.

About the Movie:
In Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter. Directed by James Bobin, who brings his own unique vision to the spectacular world Tim Burton created on screen in 2010 with “Alice in Wonderland,” the film is written by Linda Woolverton based on characters created by Lewis Carroll and produced by Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd and Jennifer Todd and Tim Burton with John G. Scotti serving as executive producer. “Alice Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.
Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” opens in U.S. theaters on May 27, 2016.

Disney Junior will debut the first six episodes of fairytale-inspired "Goldie & Bear" on the popular WATCH Disney Junior platforms, beginning SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, with one new episode premiering on the WATCH Disney Junior app and WATCH Disney Junior.com each Monday from September 21 through October 12. Set in the magical world of Fairy Tale Forest, the animated series for kids age 2-7 reunites Goldie and Bear, after the renowned porridge incident featured in "Goldilocks and The Three Bears." The series premieres on November 11 on Disney Channel and Disney Junior.
Reflecting Disney's deep roots in storytelling that resonates across generations, "Goldie & Bear" captures the timeless appeal of sharing stories through fairy tales, folk tales and nursery rhymes. Each episode features two 11-minute stories that showcase the new, unexpected friendship between Goldie and Bear as they seek out fun and adventure along with their friends and neighbors, all of whom are drawn from beloved storybook characters. Whether it's helping the Big Bad Wolf learn to consider others before blowing down their houses, helping Jack and Jill get up that hill, or rescuing accident-prone Humpty Dumpty after his great fall, Goldie and Bear enjoy living in a fairytale world filled with real-life situations, humorous mishaps and heartfelt moments.
Beginning where the classic tales leave off, "Goldie & Bear" celebrates the distinct personalities of Goldie, Bear and their quirky pals, and encourages children to develop their own enchanting friendships. The series is populated with a diverse cast of storybook characters who model friendship, community, respect for individuality, resilience in the face of adversity and compassion for others, and is meant to spark conversations among kids and parents about the narratives and morals highlighted by Goldie and Bear's unlikely friendship and their comedic interactions in Fairy Tale Forest.
Maria Tatar, chair of Harvard University's program in Folklore and Mythology and series consultant, advising on storytelling, fairy tales and folklore, said, "When we are stumped, a story often provides the answer - not in the form of a one-liner but in a conversation about the things that mattered to us in the tale."
DisneyJunior.com and WATCH Disney Junior will roll out a suite of more than 20 "Goldie & Bear" micro-games throughout the fall, with the first six debuting with the series. Housed in a storybook containing an interactive map of Fairy Tale Forest, each game centers on a classic fairy tale or nursery rhyme character.
"Goldie & Bear" stars Natalie Lander ("The Middle") as Goldie and Georgie Kidder ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars") as Bear. Recurring guest stars include Lesley Nicol ("Downton Abbey") as Fairy Godmother, Isabella Day ("Cristela") as little witch Rosita, Debby Ryan ("Jessie") as Thumbelina and Miles Brown and Marsai Martin ("black-ish") as Jack & Jill. "Goldie & Bear" was developed for television and is co-executive produced by Jorge Aguirre ("Giants Beware!" graphic novel series); Chris Gilligan ("Frankenweenie") is executive producer and director; Joe Ansolabehere ("Recess") is story editor and Rob Cantor (from the band Tally Hall) is songwriter.

There was a cat - a magic cat
Who was so small, so small
That he was no bigger than a pussy willow!
He used a ladybug for a pillow
And on moonlite nights
In the early spring
When the peepers peep
You would hear him sing,
On bright moonlite nights
In the soft early spring.
My Review:
I haven't had a chance to review the first Goodnight Songs book, but I really like this one. I like that when we aren't listening to the CD in the truck or in our home, we can sing the songs and read the words with the book. We love music in our home. We listen to it and dance to it as much as possible. My girls were dancing around the living room when I put on "The Song of the Tiny Cat." They love it, and so do I. I recommend this book and CD for children ages two and up, and for grown ups too! Goodnight Songs: A Celebration of the Seasons book and CD would make a perfect Gift for the Holidays or for any time really!
