This amazing powerhouse oil does a lot!  If you are in need of a wellness boost this is it. For the month of September, this is one of the free promo oils at the 100 PV level!  The body systems oregano supports are the respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, mental, and metabolic. It is also good for joints. Because it is considered a "hot" oil, always dilute before applying to your skin, unless it is on the bottom of your feet.  This happens to be one of the many oils that can be found in the aromatic and vitality lines. Try adding this to your spaghetti sauce! Remeber this isn't an extract it is concentrated. A tiny dip of a toothpick may be all it takes.

It can also be found in Ortho Sport Massage Oil.  I make a Raindrop Roller for my family and keep it ready. Especially with a child w...

I should start by saying I am not an expert anything. I am a homeschool mom with two in college and one in high school just sharing my experience. I had one child who loved reading and two who didn't. It is hard to find books for the uninterested reader, who NEEDS to read.  When my children were younger I read everything they read. Mostly so I knew what they were consuming, but also so we could talk about it. As they got older I did this less. Both my daughters read the Hunger Games series and really liked it. I couldn't ever get into it. They were older so I didn't force myself to read it. And we still discussed it. Mostly with me listening.  My son does not love reading. He has always enjoyed audiobooks, but in high school, he needs to be able to read without the audio option to help him prepare for college.  Here are some suggestions (besides those pictured already). As always check into it to see if it fits in with your family and what you wa...

Hair is sort of a big deal to me. I have always had thick hair for a blonde. But I started losing hair in my mid-forties and it freaked me out!  I immediately started researching reasons for my sudden shedding.  The main reason women around my age start losing hair is hormones. I know... Finding supplements to help me balance my body was my new mission. Well, it was super easy.  The first thing I tried was right on target, Progessence Plus. I added Endoflex a few months later to support my endocrine system and I have been a happy camper ever since in the hormone department.  After I that I began looking for good hair products that were natural, safe and nourished my dry straw-like mane. The first thing I added to my routine was Cedarwood essential oil. A few drops on my scalp after I wash my hair and a quick scalp massage and that's it! It smells amazing! Look up all the benefits for hair. I add one drop to my mascara tube along with one dro...

Are you still using synthetic fragrances, burning candles, using perfumed lotion? We have been doing a major cleanse at our house. That picture is the last thing that was hiding in a cabinet from our toxic past. Did you know that nearly every personal product, air freshener, candle, wax melt, and cleaning product contains synthetic fragrance? It is surprising that the thing that draws us in, the smell, is so dangerous to our health! We have alternatives. We diffuse true plant essential oils for fresh air and a good smelling home. Many products claim natural scent or EO infused but are actually made in a lab - same toxin, phthalates. So what is the big deal? They actually interrupt the brain/body connection. "In the past few years, researchers have linked phthalates to asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, obesity and type II diabetes, low IQ, neurodevelopmental issues, behavioral issues, autism spectrum disorders, altered repr...
