How’s your hair care routine?

Everyday so many people are putting multiple chemicals on their head including:
Hair dye
Hair spray
Gel
Shampoo
Conditioner
&more!

Wonder why you get a headache after getting your hair dyed? Or why your hair is brittle? There are better non toxic options!

For hair care we love Monat products! They have a wide spread variety and they even have hair growth products🙌.
Other brands we like include:
Modern Roots
Acure
Mother Dirt
Natulique

Using the EWG is a great tool when shopping. You can scan bar codes and it will tell you how toxic a product is. One step at a time, one product at a time. Start switching out your products for better options!

With having a young infant, I have leaned a lot on holistic tools/natural medicine to help her!
These are some of my favorite things so far I have seen great benefits from!:

1. Red light therapy- over a period of weeks it helped her get her circadian rhythm set better. She actually enjoyed it!
2. Honeopathics- I used various homepathics for teething, gas, and colic and noticed they were helpful!
3. Epsom salt- great to help relax baby before bed and if they are not feeling good. She LOVES baths!
4. Infant DHA - wonderful for brain development. We give it orally and not mixed with her bottle!
5. Homemade formula- since donor milk did not sit well with our daughter, we searched for the best formula we could without all the junk. We settled with goat milk formula and she loves it. There are many different types out there- do your research and read ingredient labels!
6. Water wipes- skips a lot of the icky ingredients in wipes today that can cause irratation and rashes!
7. Calendula infused oil or coconut oil. I found these have been wonderful for not just making the skin moisturizer but also heal faster!
8. Cotton or bamboo sleepers- I love that they can keep them cool or warm when needed !
9. Saline Nose drops- great for stuck boogies! Cleanses the sinuses and is easier to get snot and boogies out with the frida nose sucker!
10. Lavender essential oil- 1-2drops rubbed on your hands and then applied to their sleeper or sleep sack. You can also diffuse at night to help with sleep!

These are just some of things we have found helpful for holistic baby care! What do you find helpful?

Pollinators: Bees, birds, butterflies, moths, flies, and more!

We would not have food if we didn't have pollinators. It's our job to protect them and develop an environment they can thrive in!

Many reports – including those from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) quote the figure that “75% of our crops” rely on pollinators. It’s true: around three-quarters (75%) of the different crops we grow for food depend on pollinators to some extent. This is based on the number of different crops.

If you like to garden or grow anything at home, having pollinators is key. You can have a bee box in your garden, plant flowers or plants that are beneficial for them , and skip the pesticides and herbacides!

Plant what grows best in your zone. Find annuals and perennials that will create an alluring mix for the pollinators to come!

*Lavender Essential Oil*

One of my favorites!!
There are so many uses for this medical plant and oil!
Some of my favorite uses are:

*Sleep -take a couple drops and rub on the back of your neck, feet, and spine. You can make a little sleep spritzer and put a light mist on your pillow too.
*Baby sleep- diffuse or put 1-2 drops on your hands and rub on their sleeper or sleep sack. It will help them relax!
*Skin healing- add to your cream, salve, or lotion you like to use for extra healing properties and it smells good too!
*Perfume- simply add a couple drops and rub on neck, chest, and wrists for a beautiful Non-Toxic perfume!
*Wound healing- anytime I get a cut or scrape I put one drop of this oil on the area before I bandage. It doesn't sting and goes to action right away. Also great for any kind of burn!
*Eye lash growth- you can simply add a few drops to your tube of mascara (perferrable Non-Toxic) to help with eye lash grow! Can also add to eye brows!
*Add lavender to lemonade or tea! This makes for a great relaxing drink, especially when added with chamomile. Make sure to get organic lavender flowers!
* Pollinator attractant- planting a lavender bush helps bring pollinators to your garden and smells amazing!
*Laundry/cleaning- lavender essential oil can be added to dryer balls, dish, laundry detergent, or cleaning solutions! It's antibacterial!

There are so many more uses, but you can see why this is a must for your medicine cabinet! 🙌💜.
Make sure when buying the oil, you buy a high quality one (typically not from a store unless it is the brand pranoram).
Young living, doTERRA, plant therypy, and a few others are great ones to try!

Tick season is upon us!
How do you protect yourself from tick bites?

If you plan on being outside:
*Wear long pants
*Use bug spray (can make your own that is non-toxic and safe to use)
*Give your body immune support through the whole year
*Detox regularly
*Have specific homeopathic, herbs, and supplements that can help if you find a tick attached!
*Remove ticks correctly (make sure their head is removed as well)
*Use a poltice if you cannot get the tick head out
*Use essential oils and salve on the area of the tick bite after removal.
*Tuck your socks over your pant legs
*Fun trick -put duck tape (sticky side out) around your ankles. They will crawl up and get stuck!
*Watch for signs and symptoms of lymes!

Not everyone will develop lymes from tick bites but we can try our best to build up our bodies and protect as much as we can to prevent it 🙌.

Heavy metals are around us in so many ways:
Our food
Our body care
Our building supplies
Our water bottles
Vaccines
& so much more.

It’s necessary to detox from heavy metals as we come in to contact with them and chances are it’s not going to be gone anytime soon. Start switching to parchment or butcher paper instead of aluminum foil, check the ingredient list on your body care products and makeup, test your water, and detox regularly (under guidance).

Heavy metals can affect our hormones, blood, mitochondria, and essentially every part of our bodies. Take a step today to support your liver to start getting rid of the build up!

Take a heavy metals test if you need to rule out any exposures. It is possible to detox from heavy metals, but it takes time! Think about how much build up has happened over the years.
As you begin to detox, you will have less brain fog, sleep better, have symptoms go away, balance hormones and maybe even loose weight!

Start being mindful of heavy metals today🙌.

Self care- you either have it going on or it’s non-existent. Self care is so important! Yes we have seasons where we can’t do all the self care things we would like to (let me raise my hand first!🙋🏼‍♀️). However, there is opportunity each day to even have just a moment of self care. When hits the pillow, think about your wins from the day. When you wake up think about what you are thankful for and speak into your day. Take a hot shower or bath, make clean food, read a book, book a massage, go on a date, hang out with a friend, take a sauna, go for a walk, look at the sunset or sunrise. The list is endless!
What do you enjoy doing for self care and where do you need to do better?

Have you grown your own micro greens yet? I have enjoyed growing my own recently in my kitchen this year and it is so easy! It adds a punch of nutrition into your diet. USDA studies have shown that microgreens contain “considerably higher levels of vitamins and carotenoids—about five times greater—than their mature plant counterparts.” Both sprouts and microgreens are extremely nutritious.
I love adding these to sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, Dips, and more! If you want to get started with yours today, this is the kit I have used and love!
I recommend using distilled water for the most pure source for growing these micro greens. A little bit of seeds goes a long way and within 3-4 days you can have your own micro greens for your family!
