I got my first tattoo when I was 20 years old. I had taken a long time to be very thoughtful and introspective about what it was that I wanted to be permanently inked into my skin. Now, back at age 20, I was not living a natural lifestyle…that way of life came when I was older, closer to the …
I’ve had my hair back at its natural hair color for over five years now. I gave up hair dye when I learned abut the not-so-nice chemicals that make up most of the ingredients. I’ve come to terms with my natural hair color and I generally like the color it is. However, sometimes I just want a color boosting product to …
I remember growing up and my mother had an electronic heating pad. It was made of some crazy late 70’s/early 80’s fabric and we brought it out whenever we had sore muscles or cramps. I was a big fan of it. I would crank it to high and probably gave myself a slight burn one too many times. When I moved out of the …
I have super sensitive skin. It can be a pain sometimes (quite literally), but it’s also forced me over the years to resort to super gentle, non-toxic skincare products.

All of these are excellent reasons to learn how to do an herbal facial steam. If an herbal facial steam sounds fabulous, that’s because it is. The steam feels …
Essential Oils have been around for thousands of years, but many are just now realizing their benefits, including myself. Until a few years ago the only essential oil I knew of was tea tree oil. Thankfully a whole new world has been opened to me to support the health of my family naturally with essential oils. And although there are …
The end of the year with the holidays and everything else that comes along with it can be overwhelming for many people. Some of us love the holidays, but still get overwhelmed with long to-do lists and events; for others the holidays are simply not a joyous time and create a whole different set of anxieties and feelings of nervousness. …
Day and night, every day of the year, our skin takes a beating. We pull, tug, stretch. It deals with the cold, the heat, the rain, and the sweat. We pile on the cosmetics and lotions and creams (hopefully the all-natural ones), wash it all off, sleep, and start over again. And then there are those days. The days where …
Herbs are an amazing natural resource. They have a multitude of uses: they season our food, heal our illnesses, beautify our bodies, and clean our homes.
