Our cuticles play a very important role on our fingers. They protect that tender part where your nail attaches to your finger. Cuticles can become damaged if you work a lot with your hands, wash them often, or are naturally prone to dry skin. They can then become dry, cracked, and ragged. Often times people […]
The first time I made ricotta cheese it was by accident. About two years ago I was making homemade yogurt and the yogurt got too hot (yes, I turned on the oven and forgot it was on…twice). The curds separated from the whey making a wonderful Ricotta cheese! Yea, but I still didn’t know how […]
This end of the garden vegetable beef soup recipe is a lot like what my mom used to call “Left-Over Soup”, because you basically take what you have in the refrigerator, add a few things from the cupboard, and there you go: an amazing, healthy, and delicious soup filled with delicious food that might have […]
I think we all have those days when muscle relaxing massage oils would be hugely beneficial. We’ve been using this one by Nature’s Sunshine. It’s like a natural Icy Hot. It’s awesome! We’ve used it on sore necks, backs, ankles, knees….After a few minutes the area will feel cold and hot at the same time. […]
Homemade Mint Extract is an easy and fun gift to give to people around the holidays, birthdays, wedding gifts, and more. If you plant to make mint extract for a gift or event, then remember that it needs to be started ahead of time. But, where as vanilla extract needs to steep at least 4 […]
For a few years I began seeing articles on dry shampoo using various powders. If you’re like me at all, you may notice things you find interesting, but never quite have the time to read more about them. A while back, I finally started checking out what the deal was with this “dry shampoo” idea. […]
I think my kids could eat pizza every single day. They have all in one day eaten pizza for lunch at our home school co-op, had pizza for supper (because I didn’t eat any for much so I wanted to make some for dinner) and then had leftover pizza the next day. This one skillet […]
I had the wonderful, unique opportunity of growing up in Africa. I wanted to let you know a little bit more about me and my family so that you can understand more of where I’m coming from when I create and make my recipes for natural and healthy living. Beginnings When I was only a […]
I’ll be honest, in the past I’ve been more of a melted cheese, chocolate, and fresh bread kind of person…all the things my naturopathic doctor says for me to avoid. I mean, I’m a ketchup person – never mustard! So this dill pickles recipe, olives, and other sour or fermented foods have not been on […]
Learning How to Add Milk to Soap is a great thing if you are a soap maker. It makes a very popular soap for good reason. In fact, the wonderful lady who got me started making my own soap raises her own goats and makes amazing Goat Milk and Honey Soap. I’ve always been partial […]
I recently posted 6 Steps to Natural Beauty where one of the steps was getting a great night’s sleep. But a lot of us have a hard time with that at one time or another. Others struggle with it regularly and their body fights to keep up. You can use herbs for better sleep, but […]
These 6 steps to learning how to switch to natural beauty products are not the only steps, but wow do they pack a punch! A few of them are things we’ve heard a number of times, but we fail to actually make the commitment to change. Hopefully this will give you that little push toward […]
A lot of people of people young and old, male and female, are looking for cures for puffy eyes that really work. I will occasionally wake up with puffy eyes during allergy season. I am lucky enough that my allergies are not severe. And the better my health is getting, the less I am reacting […]
A number of you have asked about homemade natural toothpaste over the past few months. I’m happy to share with you what we use and love.
