Got messy rooms CITRUS FRESH 2019

Lets be honest, many of you hate housecleaning. You’d rather do anything than clean a bathroom right? And getting kids to clean their room! Ugh… that can be a real struggle for parents. Well, it may be easier than you think to change your attitude towards cleaning and that of your children. The practice of aromatherapy is well known for its ability to trigger memories, and influence emotions and thought, but recent research shows that it can even effect behavior and actually set the “mood” for cleaning. How cool is that! “The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and the body is what makes them truly unique among natural substances. The fragrance of some essential oils can be very stimulating– both psychologically and physically.”– D. Gary Young   Your sense of smell exerts a surprising and powerful influence over your body on the physical, mental and … 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

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! Cultured foods are alive and brimming with an enormous amount of beneficial LIFE-GIVING enzymes and healthy bacteria (probiotics) and help feed and nourish your gut like crazy. They are simply foods that have been naturally fermented, not canned or pickled.

DELICIOUS Gluten-Free Mock Oatmeal

They say timing is everything! I think I’d have to agree after the last 24 hours. Let me explain… Yesterday, I had some bananas that were beginning to get too ripe and didn’t want them to go to waste so I decided to freeze some of them to use in smoothies. I peeled several of them and put them in the freezer, and carefully hung the remaining three back up on the banana holder. Shortly afterwards I went back into the kitchen and found that the remaining three had started peeling themselves and got a good chuckle out of it. I thought it strange as I have never seen them do that before! Not wanting them to get infested with gnats, I carefully removed them from the hanger and laid the peeling back on the bananas, and then placed in the refrigerator.   Early this morning, I received a phone … 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 →

As we come to the close of one year and enter into the next, its a good time to reflect on the past and set new goals for the future. However, sometimes that’s easier said than done, right? It can be very hard, some would say impossible, to move forward when we’re still hanging onto the past… whether that means harboring unforgiveness in our hearts towards past wrongs or perhaps holding onto old memories or habits, good or bad. Either way, if we remain focused on them they can keep us locked in the past and prevent us from moving forward and into the future. Fortunately essential oils may be just the answer you’ve been looking for. I was fascinated and amazed when I learned of the impact that our sense of smell has on our body and mind. The simple act of inhaling scents through our olfactory system (sense … 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 →

Bone Broth- A Powerful Healing Tool

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. When you were sick as a child, did your mom ever make a pot of chicken soup and insist that you eat it, telling you that it would make you feel better? Have you ever wondered why? Homemade bone broth has amazing health benefits and can be … Continue reading →
