The fight for long, luscious, thick hair has been going on for centuries. There have been thousands of tonics, brews, chemical concoctions, or even “old wife’s tales” to “help” promote natural hair growth. A natural hair growth oil recipe is not new, but our understanding of why certain ingredients are chosen has increased greatly.

We now use this knowledge to come up with a natural hair growth oil recipe……

There are a lot of reasons why you may be looking for a natural hair growth oil:

1. We may style and color our hair until it is broken, thin, and basically a damaged mess.
2. Others may have a health issue that has caused their hair to thin or has caused significant hair loss, this includes medications that cause hair thinning or hair loss.
3. Still others may have poor eating habits. If you are not healthy in body, you will not have healthy, beautiful hair.
4. Lastly, we cannot forget that genetics play a huge role! If your mom has thin hair,...

I don’t know about y’all…but if you're like us you start spending more and more time outside. We love the longer days and playing in the sun!!  

If you live for those brilliant summer skies make sure and take essential oils along for the ride…

First on our list is the TerraShield® Outdoor Blend. No matter the activity, everyone should keep this blend with them during their outdoor adventures. It is an effective, natural repellent that leaves out the nasty chemicals. Aside from TerraShield, there are plenty of other “outdoor” oils to have on hand, too.

Going Out in the Sun

At the beach or the campground, everyone needs to get outside and enjoy some time in the sun for the mood-boosting and vitamin D benefits. However, make sure you pack these skin-friendly oils to keep cool and refreshed.

Happy May Ya’ll!!!  I want to start this month off with a spotlight on Vetiver!!

Oh my goodness!!  Did anyone take a step outside this morning and freeze?  It’s cold!!  

The temperature change shocked me and reminded me that Old Man Winter is on the way.  I try to always be a “glass half full” type of person so I’ll tell you first what I LOVE about Winter…fires, warm drinks, comfy blankets, Christmas, and the occasional snow.  Now I’ll be honest……Winter can also be a hard season. The Winter time brings some of the darkest and coldest days of the year.  Add in Covid and this Winter will no doubt be hard.

I don't know about y'all, but this body ain't what it used to be. And not for a lack of trying, but you guys know what I'm talking about. The older we get, the harder it is for things to heal. Or we're just dealing with the effects of growing older with sore muscles and just some general aches and pains. 

Well, enough is enough! Am I right?! Okay, I'll calm down, but for reals y'all, sore muscles are no joke these days. And yet, they are bound to happen. Whether after a workout or after getting out of the bed. Totally depends on the day of the week. 

But I have some great news! I've compiled a list of my favorite top ten essential oils for pain, sore muscles, and swelling and I think you're going to love it! 

1. Peppermint- Because peppermint contains menthol it has a wonderful "cooling" effect on those worn out muscles. 
2. Marjoram- This oil is great for relaxing muscle spasms and tension. It is also well known for easing pain and inflammation.
3. Lavender- This...

I hope y'all know just how hard it was for me to choose just 3 reasons why EO's are awesome. 

Because there are like SO MANY REASONS, but I know we all have things to do so I'll keep it to my favorite 3. 

In no particular order here we go.

1. The DIY potential is endless. Like endless, endless. You can seriously make so many things, y'all. And with the holidays quickly approaching this is something you are going to want to look into. From at home spa products to crafts with the kids, there is seriously something for everyone. 

2. They're for the whole family. Headache? I got you. Belly ache? I got you. Restlessness? I got you. Germs? I got you. Whatever anyone in the family needs, I got them. And I love that I don't have to worry about if they're filled with icky ingredients or not.

3. They bring all the amazing benefits of nature right to you. Nature is kind of amazing, y'all. And I'm a true believer that the good Lord equipped us with all the...
