Make Your Own Essential Oil Perfume

Comments Off on Make Your Own Essential Oil Perfume

Ditching conventional perfumes is possibly one of the most impactful things you can do for your health, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still smell great!   Instead of using your chemical-laden cologne or perfume, try whipping up your own, customized essential oil perfume with this simple recipe and change your scents with the seasons! Let me be clear. I’m talking about using authentic, unadulterated, premium-grade essential oils to make your own perfume, not just any brand of essential oil. Why? Because most essential oils in the market place are synthetic versions of the real thing and nothing more than sweet smelling scents at best. And like the fragrance industry, most essential oils are adulterated with toxic, man-made chemicals. You want to make sure that you’re using genuine, premium-grade essential oils and not the cheap, adulterated, chemical-laden imitations. So please don’t take the following information and attempt to use them … Continue reading →

Comments Off on DIY Beeswax Candle Jars

The ambiance of candles is such a lovely addition to the home, especially during the colder months! But after learning about the dangers of scented candles and ditching them (so full of dangerous toxic chemicals!), they are no longer allowed in our home. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t have candles. It just means they have to be safe, and not just unscented parafin candles either, which is why I prefer to use unscented beeswax candles. For all you who love DIY’s here’s a simple way to make your own DIY Beeswax Candle Jars. Instructions: 1. Prepare a water bath by setting a wide, shallow pot or stovetop-safe dish on the stove with water and bring to a very gentle boil, on medium-low heat. 2.

Comments Off on Scented Potpourri and Pinecones

Making your own scented potpourri and pinecones is so easy to do, and much better for you than the artificially scented ones you buy at the store. Most artificially scented potpourri and pinecones, found in stores or online, use adulterated essential oils. They’re loaded with man-made chemicals, cooked up in a lab somewhere. They’re essentially synthetic versions of the real thing and should be strictly avoided. You may be one of those people who find that they can’t walk into stores that carry them without breaking out with a headache, hives, or having a severe asthmatic attacks. Unfortunately, your body is violently reacting to the toxic chemicals and solvents they contain. Most people who experience these type of reactions find that they are able to make their own homemade versions using Young Living essential oils. Our Seed to Seal process ensures that you’re getting the highest quality, genuine essential oils. … Continue reading →

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 →

Comments Off on Kicking Toxic Products to the Curb- DEODORANT

Each and every day we use products in our homes, that are slowly poisoning us with toxic chemicals. Most people are under the assumption that if a product is available for sale and found on our grocery store shelves that it must be safe. That our government regulatory authorities protect us from all harmful chemical exposure. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. Our system of limiting exposure to toxic chemicals is not working and failing us miserably. Its time for us to take action and start kicking toxic products to the curb. We need to start reading labels and become informed consumers! According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Top 10 Killer Household Chemicals Study the top 10 most dangerous chemicals in our home: air fresheners, cleaning supplies, dishwasher soap and dish soap. Other danger spots listed: beauty supplies and personal care products—hairspray, gel, shampoo, deodorants/antiperspirants. Antiperspirants containing … Continue reading →

Kombucha tea, one of my favorite superfoods, has been around for a long, long time and in recent years has really grown in popularity. Its a naturally carbonated beverage that when made properly, happens to be a super nutritious thyroid and autoimmune elixir, full of B vitamins, vitamin C, enzymes for digestion, acids to boost the immune system, and gut-healing probiotics.   Many scientific studies have been conducted on Kombucha tea. Russian researchers discovered that many of its components have antibiotic and detoxifying characteristics, and they play a decisive role in the biochemical processes in the body. Its been reported that it detoxes heavy metals, plastics, and neurotoxins! Kombucha tea is made from a scoby mushroom which consists of a gelatinoid and tough mushroom-web membrane in the form of a flat disk. It lives in a nutrient solution of tea and sugar, in which it constantly multiplies through germinating. The fungal disc … Continue reading →

Bone broth, a highly beneficial, nutrient dense superfood has been used since ancient times and is considered to be one of the most remarkable foods on the planet that is made from simmering animal or fish bones. Its a powerful healing tool, often referred to as “the elixir of life.” Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said over 2,000 years ago… “All disease begins in the gut.” Modern day science is finally coming around and confirming this ancient wisdom. Sadly, most people remain unaware of how incredibly beneficial bone broth is and miss out on the opportunity to transform their health and life.

Homemade bone broth has amazing health benefits and can be … Continue reading →

Is Your Laundry Routine Hazardous to YOUR Health

When you think of pollution, you probably think of outdoor pollution, right? You know, the kind that is a by-product of vehicle emissions or industrial manufacturing. The kind that produces a heavy layer of smog in cities that fills the air with toxic fumes and chemicals. When I think of pollution one particular day comes to mind. Back in the 1970’s I went to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, and remember a smog alert being in effect that day. There was a dirty layer of smog hanging in the air. It hung there all day and into the night which turned the brightly lit nighttime sky orange. I kept thinking to myself how much smog there must be in the air for it to do that. It was not a pretty sight. Fortunately, since then the Federal government, along with state and local communities have put laws and policies in place … Continue reading →

Homemade Ginger Ale with a KICK!

homemade-gingerale-w-oils

One of the best things that you can do is to for your health is to ditch all the sugar laden drinks and sodas, and replace them with healthier options like homemade lemonade or this homemade ginger ale with a kick. Most of the drinks on the market contain either high-fructose corn syrup, which means your drinking a product made from GMO’s which is a whole other subject in and of itself, or artificial sweeteners. Its getting harder and harder but I try to avoid GMO’s like the plague. In recent years studies have shown that sugar is more addictive as cocaine… yep that’s right, COCAINE. Dr. Mercola, an alternative medicine proponent and osteopathic physician, says it’s “one of the most addictive and harmful substances currently known”. If you’ve ever tried to get off sugar and had a hard time doing so, now you know why! And don’t think for … Continue reading →
