I am really excited to be able to tell you guys about my favorite body scrub ever - Ginger Glow by Amy’s Way: Essentially Pure.
Amy hit on a deliciously wonderful recipe that you will be tempted to just consume right out of the jar - and if you do, it’s okay - all the ingredients are organic and safe to ingest.
INGREDIENTS: Freshly grated organic ginger infused into organic coconut oil, and unbleached organic sugar.
NO preservatives, NO additives, and NO GMO ingredients. Shelf life is six months when kept refrigerated - but you’ll use it all before it goes bad, that is for certain

Oh it was a happy mail day when my Two Wild Hares soaps arrived. As soon as I opened the box, the delicious aromas hit my nose and I simply swooned!
First of all, I am picky about where I get my soap. Because I don’t want anything ON my skin I wouldn’t sit down and eat, I always check the ingredients. After looking through the soaps on Nicole’s website, I was sold. Not only were the ingredients awesome, I loved how she processes them, too. You can read more about their soap here: About Two Wild Hares Soap. Continue reading
ShareI cloth diapered both of my children, and had so much fun doing so. Cloth is beyond cute - I found it to also be economical and functional. Needless to say, I am pleased to review for you Erin Odom’s … Continue reading
When offered the chance to try Living Green Supremefood, I said YES. I don’t know about you, but it’s not possible for me to fit the 6+ servings of vegetables a day that I am supposed to consume. And let’s face it - most “greens” drinks are just plain awful.
One serving of Living Green Supremefood provides the nutrition of five servings of fruits and vegetables. And because it’s not just “greens,” the taste is palatable. It does not taste like a fruit juice, but it is one of the best greens drinks I’ve ever tasted. Continue reading
I am always looking for products with all-natural ingredients - and I don’t mean Burt’s Bees! I mean true, unadulterated products. So when Danielle asked me to review her Virtuous Lips Nourishing Lip Balm, I said “of course!” Okay, so it was more like me begging her to send me some…
The ingredients are so simple, you will be left wondering how come your lips feel like a million bucks. Continue reading
Magnesium is important to our health - I think most of us realize that. But did you know that it is vital to over 300 processes in our bodies? The truth is most of us just aren’t getting enough. Not only is the soil depleted, but there are things we put in our bodies that deplete magnesium - even stress depletes magnesium!
When you have enough magnesium, you may notice relief from heartburn. Pregnant mamas out there may discover morning sickness is abated. Magnesium supplementation is a wonderful remedy for those suffering from adrenal issues.
Although you can take magnesium supplements, there are so many fillers that are to be avoided, and finding a good quality supplement isn’t easy. Not to mention taking too much, or the wrong kind of magnesium, can cause loose stools. Taking epsom salt baths is helpful - but my favorite way? Applying magnesium oil or magnesium oil lotion directly on the skin. Your skin will absorb the magnesium, and it’s quicker than taking a bath! Continue reading
I never put anything on my skin I wouldn’t eat. Just a personal rule I have. There are just too many products out there laden with chemicals. Since our skin is our biggest organ, and absorbs what we put on it, I have to resort to making my own or going without.
Let’s face it - sometimes you just can’t get a recipe to work and you need to purchase something already made - at least until you can perfect that recipe! That’s where Lemongrass Spa comes in.
I found Lemongrass Spa through Charlene over on the Learning About Essential Oils Facebook group. I followed her link expecting to find ingredients that I didn’t approve of. Wrong! Instead of chemicals, they use ingredients you can eat and essential oils (yes, and gluten-free, too!).
If you are looking for chemical-free balms, deodorant, lotions, sunscreen, and even mineral makeup, check out Lemongrass Spa! Continue reading

A month ago in my Essential Oils 101 post I told you I wanted to test the quality of essential oils companies to see if we really need to fork over lots of cash - or if the less-expensive brand at the health food store would do the trick. I will be sending the same oil, frankincense, from 5 different essential oil companies (Young Living, doTERRA, Mountain Rose Herbs, Aura Cacia, and Essential Vitality) to a chemist and have him run them through his GC/MS, reporting back to me the constituents in the oils. I will be sending them to him un-marked brand-wise (they will be marked #1 - #5) so he won’t even know which brands are which. We will discover if they are all basically the same, or if you really do get what you pay for.
This is the giveaway I promised the members of the Learning About Essential Oils Facebook group I would do when we reached the halfway point - a point we passed on Friday. Today all of you will have a chance to win The Essential Oils Handbook. I recently purchased this book, and it’s one of my favorites. Continue reading
