Stinky Feet, Bad Breath & Dryer Sheets

What do stinky feet, bad breath & dryer sheets have in common?   Yeah – that is quite a picture to conjure up – but the answer is interesting.  They all can be addressed with natural essential oils rather than by using purchased products that have raised chemical and toxic concerns for many folks. Some of

I Have A Kit For That

As reported in the media, a ‘Super cold’ is now going around which is not COVID or the flu.  In fact, I was at a recent retreat in the mountains and more than one person was either experiencing it or just recently had it or felt like they were coming down with it. So, being

True Confessions of a Chocoholic

OK, OK….I confess….I was really searching the internet for (and found) “The Healthiest Candy Bars, Ranked by Nutritionists”.  I was preparing for a trip with a friend and wanted some “healthy” snacks, but I had just come from the grocery store after searching through rows and shelves of “healthy” snack bars — all of which

Losing Willpower – Not Your Fault

Hurray!  I always love finding someone or something else to blame.   So when I got an email from our supplier of 100% grass fed and pasture-raised meats that had a headline of “It’s Not Your Fault – Study Proves It” – I just had to read it.   They said that losing willpower is actually a
