9 Superfoods You Need to Stock Up On

 9superfoodsheaderDo you know that superfoods give you super powers?

They do and that’s what I tell my kids as I am trying to educate them on proper nutrition.

Superfoods are important in the American diet; we miss out so many nutrients because our grocery store bought foods are grown in nutrient depleted soils.

Really, a superfood is a food that is super rich in nutrients.  A real superfood has been proven to deliver the nutrition the body needs to function properly.  Below is a list of superfoods, but it is definitely not a complete list.  These superfoods are some of my favorites. They are foods I keep stocked in my cabinet and hide in my family’s smoothies. [Read more…]

Giveaway: Non-Toxic Sunscreen

Non-toxic Sunscreen giveaway

A sunburn is NOT something I want to mess with when it comes to my children.  Not only do I want them to avoid burning, I don’t believe that most sunscreens on the market are the answer to good health.  Many of them contain toxic chemicals that I don’t want to massage into my children’s (or my own) skin.

The majority of sunscreens contain harmful and toxic chemical fillers and these are toxic substances you do not want to mess with.  The biggest issue with most of the fillers is that they are known hormone disrupters.  I don’t want to put that on the largest organ of my body, do you?  That is why I’m always on the lookout for a wonderful non-toxic sunscreen that actually works.   [Read more…]

Work at Home with Essential Oils

“If I could make just $500 extra a month.”

I remember these words coming out of my mouth on nearly a daily basis.  My husband and I have been on a super tight budget for years.  We have always had just enough to pay our bills and purchase exactly what was necessary.  We always thought it would be nice to have just a little extra money in our pockets for a little bit of breathing room.

During this time, I felt like I really needed to stay at home with my children and do what I could to figure out how to work from home.

My Essential Oils Don’t Work, Now What?

Essential Oils Don't Work

So, I tried essential oils and they don’t work for us…

I have only heard this phrase a handful of times, but I know there are some people out there that feel this way.

Maybe that someone is you.  You’ve heard the hype, you’ve tried the essential oils and maybe they aren’t the miracle you were hoping for.

Most of the time “essential oils don’t work” is not what I hear about Young Living oils. Most of my new members are head over heels IN LOVE with their essential oils if they purchased a Premium Starter Kit with Young Living.  Some of these members were previously using super cheap online or local health food store essential oils, and just didn’t see the life changing benefit everyone was talking about.  Of course, I’m not surprised since these oils are of lesser quality.

The million dollar question is how can I increase my energy levels without resorting to drinking coffee all day long? [Read more…]

6 Easy Ways to Assist the Body in Gentle Detox

detoxheader

I have to tell you a secret… 

I had not worked out since my 2nd child was born… until today! Whoopee!  I’m just so excited that my husband twisted my arm I went and worked out.

Actually, I have had this crazy urge to sweat.  I think I have felt kind of a burning desire to help my body detox.  Probably because it has been THAT long since I’ve worked out and I didn’t want to do any full body detox during nursing or pregnancy. [Read more…]
