    How To Use Essential Oils Throughout The Home

    Essential oils may be great for aromatherapy, but can they really be used to help clean your home? In fact, lemon, tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and peppermint essential oils are all naturally antibacterial, whereas many more, like orange, pine, and eucalyptus, are often major ingredients in less-natural cleaning products. For me, the initial purchase of a bunch of essential oils was absolutely worth it; only a few drops are ever used at once, and they have plenty of uses around the home. Here are just a few of the ways you can clean and freshen your house with them.

What Do We Mean by ‘Self-Care’?Self-care can mean any number of things, but sometimes it can be mistaken for self-indulgence.

  • Coconut Oil is it healthy?

    Have you seen the newest article about coconut oil??? The American Heart Association has now decided that Coconut Oil is no longer healthy for us. Or has never been healthy for us. So many are freaking out over the headline: Coconut Oil Isn’t Healthy. It’s Never Been Healthy.  The article published said that the AHA (American Heart Association) stated that Coconut Oil is bad for your health because it raises bad cholesterol (LDL)… and that you should be consuming vegetable oil instead…. First, consider the source—the American Heart Association. A quote from the lead author of the study, “There’s nothing wrong with deep frying as long as you deep fry…
