Good News, Everybody! 48-Hour Cyber Monday Flash Sale on the Healthy Living Ebook Bundle – With Extra Bonuses!

I know, I know. It seems like that’s all you’ve been getting from me lately. But I promise two things:
ONE: This is SUCH good news (especially for those of you who missed out on the first round of the Healthy Living eBook Bundle sale).
Even though it was unfortunate (very unfortunate) news that Hurricane Sandy happened, we had so many people asking for an extension on the sale, because they missed out during the weather atrociousness. Due to this, the big bosses at the Healthy Living eBook Bundle Headquarters decided to bring the sale back for a flash 48-hour sale. If you didn’t pick this bundle up the first time, you have a second chance! (Isn’t it nice when life offers you second chances?)
A portion of the proceeds is actually going to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, as well. You can read below to find out more about that.
TWO: I promise there won’t be any other posts dedicated to selling things for the foreseeable future. We’re about to start MAKING things now, instead of buying them. Soooon.
But, in the meantime, this is – absolutely, positively, without a sniggle of a doubt – the last time you will be able to buy this eBook bundle. Ever. Period. Nada more after this.
Buy one for yourself, and buy one as a gift for a naturally-minded friend. Hello, high-tech, nourishing-wisdom Christmas gifts – perfect for someone who has massive love for their e-reader or tablet!
Best news of the sale: The bonuses got BIGGER! (Like, $73 worth of free product bonuses, in addition to the $300+ worth of eBooks in the bundle. Read below to see the goodies.)
Here’s the official word on the flash Healthy Living Ebook Bundle Sale (and you can read the post here for what I had to say about it earlier) … for the last time it will ever exist in this incarnation.

Before I share the “official” information of the sale with you, let me tell you this:
Many (if not most) of these eBooks are from my personal heroes. Women whose blogs I read religiously before starting my own blog. Women who have inspired me, who’ve guided me into living more naturally. Women with wisdom that we all NEED, so that we can pass it on for generations to come.
I am so. incredibly. honored. to be included in this bundle o’ nourishing knowledge.
Love & Tinderness: Homemade Flavored Toothpick Tutorial

At the end of a hearty meal, what more could you ask for than a no-calorie, delicious treat that also doubles as a crud-picker?
(I am not ashamed of my lack of finesse with words, when it comes to oral hygiene. Oral hygiene should be a laughing matter. How else are you going to show off your shiny white choppers?)
Homemade flavored toothpicks are ridiculously easy to make, and not only will you want to keep a bunch around for yourself, but they also make adorable little gift additions. Or you could carry a few batches in your purse to hand to people with offensive breath. Talk about incredibly easy social graces. You just say, “You HAVE to see these adorable flavored toothpicks I made? Here. Have some! Try them! Aren’t they awesome?”
Problem = solved.
And who wouldn’t want something that looked like this?
Natural Ingredients: Sometimes Things Just Stink

You remember how, when you were a kid, your mom would put a plate of broccoli and cauliflower and carrots in front of you and you would squinch your face really hard, purse your lips, and then guttural gagging sounds would fall out of your mouth?
Your mother would say, “Missy, eat your vegetables. They’re good for you.” And then she’d stare at you with slitted, all-seeing eyes, and inside you totally hated her guts and wished God had given you a different mom. A nice mom who wore fluffy pink dresses and smiled and said, “by golly, Miss Molly, our roses are in bloom” and never, ever made you eat vegetables?
You remember that?
And what do you think of vegetables now, little miss? They’re pretty good for you, aren’t they? Instead of turning your nose up to a spear of asparagus dipped in butter and lemon sauce, you salivate.
Well, today, you can consider me your mother. And, soon, you’re going to stop turning your noses up at things that smell different than you’re used to.
9 Pretty Simple Pimple Home Remedies

A few weeks ago when I was digging around for a post to “revive” from way in the depths of Crunchy Betty, my first thought was a very, very old post titled 27 Quick and Crunchy Home Remedies for Pimples. It’s a great post, full of fun little ideas for when you have a giant monster on your face and want to treat it quickly. I even used several of the ideas in the Simple Pimple Remedies section of Food on Your Face for Acne and Oily Skin.
There’s just one problem with it.
The picture I used to accompany that post is horrendous. Terrible. Horrifying. I have no idea what I was thinking at the time, and the only excuse I have is that I was a new blogger and thought “different” was cool. Well, that was very different. And the opposite of cool, which is technically warm.
So it was kind of like a creepy clown that’s been baked in the oven at 125 degrees for about 3 minutes. Yes. That’s exactly what it was like.
I will not post that picture here, because by gosh and all, I don’t want it haunting me for the rest of my blogforsaken life.
So, when I realized I couldn’t “revive” that post as is, I thought, “I’ll take a few new pictures for it.” And then I thought, “WAIT! I’ll pick out my 9 favorite, easiest, most effective remedies and just make a picture post.” And so I did. Funny how you get things done when you decide you’re actually going to do them.
So here you go. My 9 favorite Pretty Simple Pimple Home Remedies. Perfect for looking at, remembering, and pinning to Pinterest if you need extra help with the memory jogging. (To wit, nothing was more horrifying than seeing people pin that terrible picture with the post mentioned above. Let’s do it right this time.) Also, for those of you who’ve been telling me to get a Pinterest button, I HAVE ONE. It’s right there, kinda tiny, at the top left hand side of the post. Check it.
