October 28th marks but we’re celebrating all month long - because it truly doesn't get more wild than wild blueberries! Unlike ordinary (cultivated) blueberries, wild blueberries grow wild where Mother Nature put them more than 10,000 years ago. They thrive in the cold, harsh climate of Maine.

Celebrate Wild Foods Day early by learning more about the heritage of wild blueberries, where they come from, and what it takes to harvest these little blue gems: https://www.wildblueberries.com/why-wild/

Great idea to keep those germs away!

Humidifiers prevent the flu, alleviate asthma, allergies and dry coughs, reduce snoring, heal dry skin and rejuvenate houseplants. Here’s why you should be running one all winter: While many of us are obsessed with maintaining a certain temperature in our homes and offices, few of us ever stop to ...

I like to drink Grapefruit in my water all day long. Absolutely love it, I bet I drink twice the water because of the flavor and I know it’s good for my metabolism, and it up lifts mood. My husband drinks Lime in his water to help flush out Uric acid from his body and helps the immune system.

Are you tired of spending $5.00 for 20-24 dish tabs that are chemical free? I am,
so I made my first batch of dishwasher tabs. I am impressed how well they work. Mine didn’t hold together as good as I hoped but my trays were not the best. You need a silicone tray that is flat on top. I calculated it cost about $1.00 to make a batch of about 20. I am happy with that.

1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup citric acid
1 Tbs. DoTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate
5 drops grapefruit oil

1) put baking soda, citric acid, On Guard and grapefruit in a mixing bowl. Mix together until the mixture is an even consistency.
2) place in silicone molds and let sit for 4 hours. You
May have to keep pressing down the product as it rises. I filled my trays 1/2 to 2/3rd full.
3) remove from trays and store in an airtight container.

*for an added bonus place vinegar in the rinsing agent compartment for sparkling dishes.

Do you or someone you know suffer from Gout? It is an inflammatory arthritis that attacks the joint and turns red, hot swollen and tender to the touch. Pain comes rapidly when an attack hits. Usually the big toe is affected first, makes it very difficult to walk. My husband suffers from an occational gout attack and I found there are some essential oil remedies that can bring relief now and help to keep at bay in the future.

Lime essential oil in drinking water will help to flush out the uric acid in the body, and lemon is great for the ph level in the body. You can also apply lemongrass with fractionated coconut oil directly on the joint that is needed.

If you know of any other oils to help, please share below.

As I watched the snow fall today and thought it be would be fun to play in the snow and make a snowman, but I needed something to help with the ache going on in my head. So, I decided to give a new oil blend I recently purchased a try called Past Tense. It has a minty, herbal aroma and is a combination of 7 different oils.

I rolled it along my temples and forehead and bundled up and went outside to get fresh air. Upon returning to the house to dry off I realized my headache was completely gone. I will now be
Keeping this oil blend near by at all times.

How are your 2018 resolutions going for you so far this year, can you believe we are in March already? Are you making better food choices? Maybe getting some exercise? Getting more sleep? Reading more? Learning something new every day? I am very proud of you for making these changes in your life and I bet you are feeling better for it.

Now I would like you to think about all the products we buy and use daily. Have you ever thought about how many chemicals we are around on a daily basis and wonder what they could possibly be doing to our bodies?

Today I want to talk about dryer sheets. I can not speak for all of them, but if you want to know what is in yours go to www.ewg.org and you can find out. Many cause skin irritations,respiratory, allergies and nervous system issues and the list can go on.

I would like to let you know there are better options you could take and share with you what I use. I bought wool dryer balls and put a couple drops of my favorite oil on them and throw them in the dryer with my clothes. They come out smelling amazingly fresh and only cost me pennies per load.

Let’s get real for a minute. I just had a love/hate relationship with willpower and food this past weekend. I made some wrong food choices. I have not felt well this week, literally it’s been a good 3 days of feeling like crap.

Let me explain, I can not even tell you the last time I ate a cookie and anything breaded. I gave in to these foods. My body did not like it at all. I barely could function, all I wanted to do was sleep, felt achy, headache, nightmares and even night sweats. I felt like I had a bad hangover. I couldn’t even do my yoga program that I started. Sorry friends.

Needless to say I will not let this happen again but I should be thankful that my body let me know it doesn’t work for me.

If I could give you any advice at all pay close attention to your body after you eat something that could possibly disagree with you, you can learn a lot.

Sugar and Flour are not my friends. Lesson learned.
