Essential Oils can be used for medicinal purposes, as well as in natural beauty recipes like anti aging serums and handmade soap recipes.
Not only is this fun (because what could be better than smearing a mud like substance all over your face?), but it is also super healthy for your skin. And what could help you age like a Pro? Well, an anti aging clay mask of course! Our skin is under a constant battle. Stress, lack...

Some might be thinking it’s early to be thinking about 11 homemade Christmas gift set ideas, but it isn’t if you make all of those gifts yourself. A lot of us who make gifts have to plan ahead for production time, curing stages, or steeping times. I have been teaching a class at our home...
My husband finally broke down and got a new car. Well, it’s a lightly used car…and I insisted. The thing is, his lovely 1995 Toyota Corolla was so rusted that when he went to get a shock replaced (he couldn’t budge it himself… and we found out why), our friend said that he was not...
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!

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...
I love my spray deodorant recipe. It’s just that simple. It’s cheap, made with great ingredients, I can make it smell however I like, and it works. I use my recipe for solid deodorant especially in the winter. Yet with solid deodorant, the coconut oil melts about 76 degrees Fahrenheit making it harder to take...
Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and can easily absorb harmful molecules sprayed into the air as well as the chemicals that we touch, so knowing what’s in the chemicals we have around the home is important. I started making my own homemade cleaning products with disinfectant essential oil blends in order...
In my search to do all things natural, this is a topic I thought needed to be addressed. There are some good products out there that are not as toxic as you may believe, but I wanted a completely natural dandruff remedy and something that’s even healthy! I’ve since tried a few methods and talked...
A number of people have seen and made the Aromatherapy Shower Discs.

Those of us who blow dry, curl, or straighten our hair can use the advantages of using oil protection for heat damaged hair. My hair has always been a bit curly and out of control. Sometimes I like to scrunch it and leave it that way. Other times I like to straighten it. At least...
