Combating Seasonal Allergies Without Supplements
I am not a medical doctor. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I researched on my own time to find these suggestions. Please do your own research before trying. I do get affiliate earnings when you click on my links. These are at no cost to you and even save you money by using them. Pollen, grass, mold, cedar, ragweed and even some chemicals we breathe in start to bother us in the form of seasonal allergies once they have entered our bodies. What happens with these airborne agents (known as pathogens or allergens), is that our immune system views them as a danger and releases antibodies that will…

Mom Truths from a Mom of Five: SELF CARE is a must
As a mom of five, I don’t get *tons* of alone time and there is most certainly always something to do. I am thankful that my husband and I know how important self care is for both of us and we try to make it happen every week. This hasn’t always been the case and it really caused us to struggle mentally. Now that we’ve seen the positive benefits, I aim to shout from the roof tops just how important self care is for moms (and Dads) pulling their weight raising babies! I’ve learned that self care isn’t “me first” it’s “me too.” We all deserve it and if you…

This post is in partner with Alex’s Elderberries. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.

During cold and flu season, I am very passionate…

What’s in mainstream DEO and what nontoxic brand I swear by
I’m so glad that Beautycounter finally perfected their deo game because their formula is better than any nontoxic deo I’ve ever tried. Just FYI, I’ve tried over 15 brand in my quest for safer deodorant. In case you’re wondering “what is Beautycounter?” this is a brand with a longtime commitment to natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. It’s taken years to formulate the Clean Deos from Beautycounter, but why? Allure Magazine had this to say “The five-year holdup was due in part to Beautycounter’s insistence on housing the new deodorant in recyclable, refillable packaging (a first for the brand). Like many other beauty products, deodorant is often made with mixed materials,…

Immunity Boosting With Wedderspoon Manuka Gummies
This is a sponsored post with Wedderspoon. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. One of the things that I make sure my family and I do is immune boost as needed with vitamins and supplements. As a family, we focus first with fueling our bodies with nutrient filled foods – incorporating Manuka honey in this as well. I’ve trusted Wedderspoon Manuka for years as the best Manuka honey for quality and taste. One of the reasons I rave about this superfood is because Manuka honey is brimming with living enzymes & potent chemical compounds and Wedderspoon raw Manuka is flavorable and…
