What’s in Your Scentsy Wax Melts? DIY Non-Toxic Wax Tarts

Have you seen those cute little blocks of square wax tarts that seem to pop up everywhere, at every  festival, carnival, and mall kiosk that you pass by? I see these wax tarts EVERYWHERE that I go. I love the idea behind wickless candles and diffusing scent throughout my home, but whenever I pass by one of these stands, I can not seem to get a straight answer from any representatives on the actual ingredients list for these Scentsy wax melts. Finally, after seeing one too many of these stands and going into all of my friend's homes and seeing these candle warmers all over the place, I decided it was time to create my own wax tarts for my home! With as many friends and family members that own one of these, this is going to be the perfect homemade gift for everyone I know! Continue reading “What's in Your Scentsy Wax Melts?

The free flowing, tree-hugging, bohemian hippy that I am, loves the idea of traveling to a beautiful country such as Thailand.

Is Your Febreze Air Freshener Making Your Family Sick? DIY Non-Toxic Room Sprays Fall/Winter Edition

With the holiday season practically knocking on the front door, I am preparing my home for family visits. When I have company coming over, I like to vacuum my home and spritz it with one of my favorite aromatherapy concoctions to freshen up the air and make my space more inviting to guests. I used to  be on the Febreze bandwagon, that is until I found out just how toxic their sprays really are. I was enraged to find out that an air freshener company that's slogan is “breathe happy,” fills their products with bronchial irritants. No one is going to breathe happier with toxic chemicals that irritate the lungs. Continue reading “Is Your Febreze Air Freshener Making Your Family Sick?

Cool Vibes Vapor Rub - An Essential Oil Vapor Rub for Coughs, Congestion, & Stuffy Noses

One of my least favorite feelings, when I am sick, is that feeling of not being able to breathe. It overwhelms me and makes it very difficult to sleep at night. When I first started learning about aromatherapy, the first essential oils that I purchased, were lavender and eucalyptus. My first chest cold came right after that, and I was so grateful to have had those essential oils on hand. I mixed  the lavender and eucalyptus with some coconut oil and applied it to my chest, back, and feet. It worked so well, I couldn't believe it could be so easy to help with congestion. After that moment I was hooked on essential oils and natural health. I really love being able to make whatever my family needs when they need it! It is so empowering!
