| I don't drink coffee either. I drink tea but weak. I have not had a taste
for coffee since my late teens! Tea is really popula in UK and I make it with
real leaves in a teapot, not bags.
Here in UK we can get a wide range of herbal teas in health food shops and a
smaller range in supermarkets.
I love the Yogi brand which does one called Eygypian Spice, which is
liquorice based. I also drink a lot of Barleycup, which is a coffee
substitute naturally caffiene free. Peppermint tea and fennel tea are nice
too and settle the stomach.
Try the avocado dip. Nuts are also a good source of skin nutrients. I mean
real nuts, not peanuts.
In UK we don't have any aloe growing in wild, are you sure it is aloe vera in
your garden? If so give it a try! I know aloe grows wild in warmer climes
than ours.
I put aloe vera gel on my face after a moisturising cream, twice a day, I
also use the toothpaste which has really helped my gingivitis.
