Why Add Cran Water to Your Daily Routine?

Comments Off on Why Add Cran Water to Your Daily Routine?

Why add cran water to your daily routine? Because of the multiple health benefits it offers!!! Cran water may be just the thing you need, according to Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., to support a healthy lymphatic system amongst a host other benefits like elimination, balancing hormones, strengthening connective tissue, reducing cellulite and liver health. I first learned about the benefits of “cran water”, not to be confused with the sweet, sugar laden cran juices on grocery store shelves, from Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S. She has been decades ahead of the pack when it comes to nutrition. Before there was low-carb, paleo, keto and all the other diet fads out there, there was the wisdom of Ann Louise Gittleman, truly “The First Lady of Nutrition”. I have followed her and her work for decades and have learned an incredible amount of information from her. I was doing some research … Continue reading →

Soothing Thieves Tea

Comments Off on Soothing Thieves Tea

Thieves® tea is quite tasty and very soothing. There are several versions for making Thieves tea but this one, which includes raw apple cider vinegar and honey, is my favorite and super simple to make.   The addition of apple cider vinegar (ACV) helps alkalinize the body. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps your body absorb vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat, and also slows down digestive enzymes to regulate blood sugar levels. Controlling of the acid in your body is perhaps one of the single most important processes you need to support. Thieves® is a legendary blend of essential oils is formulated with Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary, which provide immune support and cleansing properties when taken internally.* 1- Simply brew your favorite tea or just use plain ole hot water. …I like using The Republic of Tea’s Honey Ginseng Green Tea … Continue reading →

Taking the road less traveled

Comments Off on Taking the road less traveled

I began taking the road less traveled 23 years ago today, on Nov. 3rd, 1998! Nov. 3rd, 1998 was the beginning of our holistic health journey and began in our pediatricians office. That’s right! In our pediatricians office. And what an amazing journey its been! At first glance, one might think “What a strange place to begin that journey!” but you’d be wrong. You see, I had taken our 7 year old daughter (almost 8) to a Dr’s appointment. I don’t recall the reason for the visit but while there the doctor noticed her thyroid looked enlarged and ordered some tests. When the tests came back he informed me that she had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and wanted to put her on thyroid medication… for the rest of her life. He said it in a very matter-of-fact way and treated it like it was no big deal. In fact, he … Continue reading →

THIEVES DISH SOAP Turn 1 Bottle Into 4 and Add Suds

thieves dish soap turn 1 bottle 2

When I first got my Thieves Dish Soap I was like… “Where’s the bubbles?” not to mention being less than thrilled about the price. I mean, let’s be real, few people can afford to pay $14 (wholesale price/June 2019) for a 12 fl. oz. bottle of dish soap. Sure, I want to ditch chemical laden dish soaps but it has to be affordable too. Well, this post is going to show you a hack on how to turn that one 12 oz bottle into 4 power packed bottles (or 48 oz’s) of dish soap, allowing you to get more cleansing power and suds, making it much more affordable at approximately $3.50 a bottle. Plant-based dish soaps on the market thankfully tend to not include SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) which is a good thing for sure. Why is this a good thing? Well, according to the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep … Continue reading →

Create An Aromatically Safe Home

just breathe CLARITY THIEVES DIGIZE

Instead of using toxic air fresheners and scented candles, begin to create an aromatically safe home. I diffuse genuine, premium-grade essential oils, not to be confused with the cheap chemical-laden synthetic versions found at your local store. Most of the time I do so with a purpose. This means I don’t just diffuse essential oils to make our home smell good. I diffuse essential oils because of their limitless potential and beneficial value. Diffusing creates a healthy ionized room, can neutralize (not mask) odors, provide an uplifting environment and help elevate moods, force dust to the floor, provide a calming environment to support a better nights sleep, support better focus, and even promote better energy for those occasional afternoon slumps, and so much more. For instance, today, I have lots of mental work to do so I’ve got my diffuser on my desk diffusing CLARITY™ essential oil. Clarity™ blends Basil, Rosemary, Peppermint, … Continue reading →

Tough Stains No Match for Thieves® All-Natural Cleaner

Tough Stains No Match for Thieves® All-Natural Cleaner

Imagine my surprise on Christmas morning when I began rummaging through drawers to find my favorite Christmas napkins horribly stained. Buried underneath a pile of placemats and everyday napkins I was pleased to spot them… that is, until I pulled these babies out. My immediate response was.. “Uuugghh! How in the world did this happen?” It had been years since I had used them. Since moving back to my husbands home town we’ve always gone to his parents house to celebrate with family members, that is until this year. With both of his parents now gone, this year we celebrated Christmas at our home. I’m still mystified how they got this way but surmise it happened during one of our cross country/ocean moves. Although disappointed, I was confident they could be cleaned and salvaged using my Thieves Household Cleaner. Normally I use the standard dilution for laundry stain removal but … Continue reading →

If you’re ready to start a living healthier, better life, with tons of energy make sure that you ingest a good supply of cultured or naturally fermented foods, each and every day!

With Every Crisis Comes Opportunity!

Comments Off on With Every Crisis Comes Opportunity!

Life is filled with trials and tribulations. Both physical and spiritual… and oftentimes the two are intrinsically linked. No one escapes them. It’s just a natural part of life but a very important part. With every crisis comes opportunity. The opportunity for us to allow each crisis to open new doors, to step outside our comfort zone, to allow us to grow as we open ourselves up to learn the lesson each one is trying to teach us. From my experience its within these crisis’, these trials and tribulations, that we experience the most growth… but only if we let it. Have you ever been in the middle of a crisis and had the experience of something not sounding right or feeling right, and it stirred up an uneasiness within your spirit? Have you learned to listen to your gut, to the silent prompting in your spirit? This “gut feeling”, … Continue reading →

Your Passion is What Drives Your Success

Comments Off on Your Passion is What Drives Your Success

Finding natural ways to do things has always been part of my life and started back in my childhood. I remember reading the PREVENTION MAGAZINE my parents subscribed to as a child and loved learning all the tips and tricks they offered. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood include an amazing ORGANIC garden and fruit trees my mom and dad had, which took up most of our backyard. During the summer and fall it seems my mom, and sometimes my dad, would spend hours canning… just thinking about what came out of that garden makes my mouth water. Some of my favorites were her homemade peach syrup (my favorite with pancakes), canned peaches, huge fresh red, ripe strawberries (on shortcake) and last but not least, my mom would make this ice cold side dish made from red, vine-ripened tomatoes. She would cut them up and add a little … Continue reading →
