soap savers now available!
selling for $8 each—more colors coming soon 🤎

made from 100% cotton so they will not shrink after use 🙌🏻

these little things are PERFECT to put your bars of soap into. they exfoliate wonderfully and when you get down to the last little chunk of soap after so many uses, you can throw your new bar right in with it so that nothing goes to waste! win/win deal ✨

*expect the colors to bleed for the first couple uses. this is typical*

Celery juice for breakfast ✅

I was never aware of just how many benefits celery juice has to offer until I did some researching and testing it out myself.

Celery juice can help:
* heal headaches and migraines
* Reduce inflammation
* Fight autoimmune disease
* Help restore adrenals
* Bring down toxic liver heat and helps produce liver bile
* Neutralize and flush toxins out of the liver
* Alkalize our bloodstreams and bodies
* Cleanse our bodies of toxic metals that get built up over time
* Instant immune system boost

It is definitely worth doing some researching and finding out more on why this herbal medicine is so good for you and your body.

Today is a wonderful day to be harvesting and processing elderberries while sippin’ on some elderberry kombucha! 😊

Did you know that elderberries have a tremendous amount of health benefits? 💜

Some include:

- boosts digestive system
- keeps cholesterol under control
- improves heart health
- promotes bone strength
- eases allergies
- treats inflammation

AND so many more!!

Eventually I will have tinctures and syrups for sale, and maybe even some dried berries, but in the meantime I’ll share a fun recipe!
