Copra, or dried coconut is an important industry in the West Indies. Coconuts are grown in tropical climates such as the Rainforests of Saint Lucia. They are dried than the copra, or dried coconut is pressed into oil. Coconut can be dried in one day in a copra oven whereas it would take about 3 days to air dry in this humid climate possibly getting moldy. The oven burns mostly coconut husks along with some wood. Print size 8x10 inches.

This is a very small cake (maybe 6 inches?) that I split in half I put coconut buttercream (using DF margarine) frosting, a row of blackberries and filled it with (DF) chocolate cream. On top I put date sugar marzipan, chocolate buttercream (just to hold the blackberries) and fresh blackberries standing vigil. OMG YUM!* This cake is GF and DF.

A couple of weeks ago I was telling a friend of mine about this Coconut Oil and how much I liked it.
I had used it and eaten it for a long time but hadn't been able to get it at our local Whole Food store for a couple of years. So I found it online and ordered it! It was delivered 3 days ago.
I had forgotten how wonderful it is, not only for the skin, face, hands and legs - but also for digestion, for the bones, and for easier movement of just about everything in the body!! I grew up where people drink coconut water from real coconuts all the time, so I love the flavor, it is raw and pure.
So glad that it is available online... this is one of those times when I'm really glad there is an internet.
Coconuts drying in the sun. After drying the coconut meat is processed to Coconut Oil and the Shell charcoal is used widely as domestic and industrial fuel.
Containing moorland spring water, olive oil, coconut oil, manuka honey, beeswax and French lavender essential oil.
The process of making handmade soap is a great distraction from the happenings in the world. It's also very kind and gentle on the skin, and Manuka Honey is said to have very high anti-bacterial properties.
I hope that all of my flickr friends remain safe and healthy.
Hugs to all.

Crazy Fruity Handmade Soap
This soap is so much fun you will have to get the smile surgically removed from your face! It's a banana base loaded with fruit polka dots! Raspberry, Apricot, Lime, Kumquat, Coconut, Cucumber Melon, Apple, Lemon, Watermelon… It's a beautiful and crazy bar of soap, and it's moisturizing too! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :-)
You will receive one bar of appoximately 4+ ounces.
It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!
Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemically infiltrated soaps.

We had to shelter behind the BMW as a very cold wind was whipping up the dust and heavy cloud cover above sent the temperature plummeting.
The horses were reluctant to pass the bike as they had not seen anything like it before. The riders had to take them up the slope and well away from us in order to pass by.
My new favorite scones - they are easy to make, and taste more like dessert than breakfast food...the recipe is on the blog.
Tea Tree French Green Clay Oatmeal Honey Natural Soap
All natural - no added fragrances or colorants - pure goodness, and enriched with shea butter for extra moisture!
Oatmeal: Natural oatmeal is also helpful for home solutions to treat acne. It is in fact wonderful for all skin irritations. Natural oatmeal is an acne solution and also an astringent because it removes oil and impurities off of the skin, keeping skin clean and acne-free.

Its toning action stimulates the skin by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing the complexion, and tightening pores. French Green Clay is marvelous for helping to clear problem skin.
Honey: Honey removes dirt, is antibacterial, soothing and smoothing, and regulates skin moisture. It is also protective and nutritive for all skin types, but especially for blemished, dry and sensitive skin.
Tea Tree Oil: Tea tree oil has been used effectively to treat acne, abscess, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, spots, warts and wounds. You can use tea tree oil to cure sunburns, diaper rash, toenail infections and problems of smelly feet.
You will receive 1 bar approximately 4+ ounces.

Ginger Pepper Citrus Musk Essential Oil Natural Soap
I've blended ginger, black pepper and an array of citrus essential oils including orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit to make up this essential oil delight.Those burgundy stripes you see are musk fragrance oil. The scent is wonderful together!
Here's a couple of things these essential oils have been said to help with:
Ginger oil is used in the treatment of fractures, rheumatism, arthritis, bruising, carbuncles, nausea, hangovers, travel and sea sickness, colds and flu, catarrh, congestion, coughs, sinusitis, sores on the skin, sore throat, diarrhea, colic, cramps, chills and fever.
Black Pepper is a warming oil can be used to great effect to help circulation and bruising and specifically to help with muscle tone, aching limbs and rheumatoid arthritis. It further helps to promote digestion, the colon as well as the kidneys.
Orange oil can be used effectively on the immune system, as well as for colds and flu and to eliminate toxins from the body.It is a good diuretic and is most useful in balancing water retention and obesity. Its lymphatic stimulant action further helps to balance water processes, detoxification, aiding the immune system and general well-being.
Lemon oil can be very beneficial to the circulatory system and aids with blood flow, reducing blood pressure and helping with nosebleeds. It can help bring down fever, helps relieve throat infections, bronchitis, asthma and flu. It boosts the immune system and cleanses the body, improves the functions of the digestive system, and it is helpful with constipation, dyspepsia and cellulite. Lemon oil soothes and relieves headaches and migraines and is helpful for rheumatism and arthritis. It is also used for clearing acne, cleaning greasy skin and hair, as well as removing dead skin cells, easing painful cold sores, mouth ulcers, herpes and insect bites.
Lime oil is useful to cool fevers associated with colds, sore throats and flu and aids the immune system while easing coughs, bronchitis and sinusitis, as well as helping asthma. Lime oil can stimulate and refresh a tired mind and helps with depression. It can be helpful for arthritis, rheumatism and poor circulation, as well as for obesity and cellulite and has an astringent and toning action to clear oily skin and acne, and also helps with herpes, insect bites and cuts.
Grapefruit has a high vitamin C content and is therefore valuable to the immune system. It helps protect against colds and flu, has a very positive effect on obesity and also has diuretic properties, helping to remove excess water from the body and is therefore also great for treating cellulite. It has an uplifting effect on the mood and helps with stress and depression. It is used with great success to combat muscle fatigue and stiffness while stimulating the lymphatic system and thereby clearing the body of toxins. It helps to clear congested oily skin and also assists with acne, while toning the skin and tissues. Grapefruit is used in hair care to promote hair growth.
