Bio-Accumulation: Low Doses Matter

Comments Off on Bio-Accumulation: Low Doses Matter

Exposure to low concentrations of common endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), each and every day leads to something called “bio-accumulation”. These low doses matter and over time can cause chronic health problems.   EDCs, also known as hormone disruptors, are chemicals that interfere with the natural hormones in our bodies and plague our modern world. We are all exposed to EDCs in our daily lives, for example EDC’s are found in some food packaging, pesticides, cleaning products, and cosmetics. Over 1,400 chemicals have been listed as potential endocrine disruptors. Decades of peer-reviewed research has shown significant associations between EDCs – even in low doses – and adverse health effects such as cancers, fertility problems, obesity and some learning disabilities. EDCs can have severe negative effects on the hormone system of even unborn babies. Hidden toxins in our homes can affect cognition, productivity, vitality, and yes, even our emotional state.

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. While the water heats, prepare your jars by adding a sticker to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly into the middle of … Continue reading →

Scented Potpourri and Pinecones

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 →

Seasonal ‘CIDER MILL’ Thieves Household Cleaning Spray

There is something wonderful about fall. Even though it precedes the long winter months it remains my favorite time of year. The warm days and clear, crisp, cool nights are the perfect setting for attending outdoor festivals and not be annoyed by all the bugs while enjoying all the abundance of the fall harvests. And who doesn’t thoroughly enjoy seeing all bright fall colors of the trees as they change into vibrant and beautiful billboards of red, orange, and golden colors. It’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. This year marks the 53rd National Apple Harvest and sadly most of these outdoor events, regularly held the first two weeks in October, have been cancelled and many will be missing the sights, sounds and aromas that surround these events. If you’ve ever been to one you know what’s I’m talking about. Fortunately, you can recreate a … 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 →

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 →

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 →
