New for Chibi Bubble Ninja's Sewing & Kigurumi Cafe!

Website

Since my last Chibi Bubble Ninja business update I have made a few additions and updates to the site! 

*Sewing Cafe & Prop Cave: There are some great new photos of completed commissions!

*Cafe Shop: I have moved the cafe Shop to ShopEnvy
You can access this link through my website as usual.
        *Prop Cave: I have updated Nick's information for his company Cos & FX. "Creating movie quality props and costumes for the public" He is not branching out to all movie props and costumes- not just helping me with cosplay requests.

        

!NEW SERVICES!

In addition to sewing and prop-making I have added a new section offering new services!

This new section is called Needles & Paper:

Knitting

Scrapbooking (cards)

Custom Cross-stitch

Following from the website: 

"I have been knitting, cross stitching and scrapbooking nearly as long as I have been sewing. (Almost 15 years)

I am happy to announce I will be offering custom cross-stitch art pieces. These can be made from your personal photos! Family and beloved pet photos welcome!
*Please note minimum process time is 2-3+ months depending on the size of the final piece requested .

For the knitting projects I prefer to work with natural materials. (wool, cashmere, alpaca, cotton and hemp) Someday I hope to knit pieces from the fibers of animals (and plants) I raise myself. Until that day comes I try to source all fiber materials from local producers and family farms.

I started scrapbooking as a hobby with my mom to store our family memories. Since I am terrible at taking enough photos I started making custom handmade cards instead. I make cards for my family on special occasions and holidays. At Christmas time I send out a custom card to all my friends and family.

My mother actually encourages this service. Her only request is I do not get too busy to send cards for the family.

I am always learning new techniques to expand my skills in all three of these areas."

!Last but not least Donations!

I have made an option on the site to  donate to my Go Find me campaign to expand my little home business.

I will be making a separate post with all the details shortly. 

So if you have a moment head to my re vamped site and let me know what you think ^.^

Found an old Book Reveiw: The Coconut Oil Miracle

Amazon Link (Old edition/One I read)

Amazon Link (Newest Edition) 

 

 

 

 I was going through some of my old emails and ran across this book review that I had sent myself to post. Since this is the book that got me into coconut oil and it benefits I thought it would still be worth sharing with everyone. I read the older edition but I have also linked the newest edition here. 

Book Review: The Coconut oil miracle

By:  Bruce Fife, N.D. 

He is a certified nutritionist and naturopathic physician

Coconut oil has been used successfully for a variety of skin conditions and is showing great potential in treating AIDs and heart disease.

This book has an extensive explanation of the myth of coconut oil being unhealthy and scientific proof to back it up. Since it is a saturated fat it was grouped in with all the unhealthy saturated fats, even though it is not unhealthy.

Coconut oil was replaced with hydrogenated soy bean oil and our health is what took the blow.

Seems that the soybean industry funded the camping against coconut oil. I can believe it. After all one of the largest companies growing soybeans is Monsanto. 

Pacific islanders who primarily have only coconuts in their diet have benefited for many years of health superior to our own.

This book also credits WAP for using coconut oil but seems to think lard is also bad.Which lard from a healthy organically raised and fed animals is not unhealthy.

This book also connects the health of the mouth to the health of the body. Problems of the mouth can cause problems in the body- especially heart disease.

They also note that research is not being done on the large scale for the health benefits of coconut oil because there is no one to profit- coconut oil is cheap and readily available and cannot become a patented  pharmaceutical.

My biggest problem is that the CEOs and doctors conducting the research know that their products are hurting people. But they are making a profit and that is more important to them.

It is supposed to be healthful for things like cold and flu and I intend to try it the next time I am feeling a little below the weather.(Update: I take this whenever I am sick)

It seems to be good at fighting antibiotic resistant illness like raw honey.

I agree with their facts that coconut oil will promote our health and weight loss.

On skin and hair it is an unmatched health tonic. It gets rid of dandruff. Also is supposed to strengthen the skin against things like sun- and repair the skin from sun and age spots. Also fades old scars.(I use this as a stand along moisturizer now)

Your bones can also benefit because coconut oil aids in the absorption of calcium and magnesium. 

Start by using it to replace all other oils you cook with (vegetable- canola) and start with 1 tsp a day and work up to 3 TBS for best health benefits. 

Sounds like it is great for a variety of illnesses and great as an overall tonic- or preventative for health. 

Choose the brand that tastes best to you.I usually prefer Nutivia but I would like to also try Tropical Traditions.

This book also refers you to all the medical findings if you would like to dig them up and see them for yourself as well.

Weston a. Price foundation

There is even a whole chapter of recipes of how you can incorporate this into your diet.

SO THANKFUL!
