For the past month I have again sacrificed my body and health to review this, new to me, product for you (you're welcome). It's called Restore for Health As I age (don't we all) I've come to realize that a lot of how we feel is based on what we put in our mouths. That goes for food and supplements. Many years ago a work colleague tried to sell me on a brand of vitamins by telling me about all the minerals depleted from our soils. At the time I looked at him like he was crazy but in these past few years of small space gardening and recognizing the difference in home grown, organic, local, … [Read more...]
Using Essential Oils in Your Homemaking
*this post contains affiliate links Have you heard a lot about Essential Oils and wondered what they could mean for you (or your home) or even if they are for you? What are they? How are people using them? And do they really work...for whatever? My first foray into Essential Oils was about 25 years ago through my sister. She was just starting to make bath and body products and recommended a few essential oils for my scalp. During a stressful time I came down with who knows what on my scalp and it was peeling like crazy! My hair stayed, thank the Good Lord, but my scalp was doing … [Read more...]
Healthy Grocery Shopping, Even if You’re on a Budget
Is there some trick to Healthy Grocery Shopping when you have a limited budget? A lot of people love the idea of healthy foods and would grocery shop for healthier foods in a heartbeat if their budgets allowed it. It is true that healthy or organic foods can cost considerably more than your regular grocery store food. It's a detterent to purchasing only organic food. Especially when you have a family to feed. The one glimmer of hope is that healthier food options are becoming more affordable as they becomes more popular. But still, the prices aren't low enough for many people. How can … [Read more...]
Make Learning How to be Healthier Part of Your To Do List
Is Learning How to be Healthier on Your To-Do list? Learning how to live a healthier lifestyle is always one of those things that's always on my radar. I've learned a lot over the years but there's still a lot I don't know. Discovering an allergy to soy in my 20's put me on a fast track to better health but since my only goal was to eliminate soy there was still a lot I left out. Through the years I've learned more and applied more of healthier living to my life and that of myfamily. But one of the problems is that becoming healthier is more than just one thing. It encompasses … [Read more...]
Dr. Mercola’s Complete Probiotic Powder Packets! A #Momsmeet Review
You know I talk now and again about nutritional supplements and healthy living. I come by it honestly. My grandma introduced me to vitamins and the Vitamix way back when I was just a tot. She helped me solve some immune system issues with her big cupboard of vitamins. And was constantly reminding us to take our vitamin c. Something we do to this day. I think she alone keeps a certain vitamin company in business. She's in her 90's now and still at it. I think that it is so important in being in the best health I can be for my family. We can't stave off all illness and avoid all … [Read more...]
Himalaya Botanique Complete Care Toothpaste a MomsMeet Review
My family has been tasting trying Himalaya Botanique Complete Care Toothpaste through #MomsMeet for the past several weeks. It's no secret that I'm on a continual hunt to do what I can to take good care of my family's oral health. Teeth. Who isn't? When I'm with friends and/or family we often turn to what natural health products we've discovered. And many of those conversations have turned to what we're using on the family teeth. Dentist bills can be expensive. And let me just pause here and thank my mother for all the money she shelled out on my teeth when I was younger. It's only at … [Read more...]
MegaFood Kids Nutrient Booster Powders : A #MomsMeet Product Review
Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own. When it comes to vitamins I'm in the camp of, "they are a good thing". My 90+ year old grandmother introduced me to the healing properties of vitamins over 20 years ago when I broke out severely from a food allergy and found my immune system needed a reboot. Pretty much everyone in my immediate and extended family takes vitamins. We have seen what good they can do so I was excited when … [Read more...]

A Little Bit About Kombucha and It’s Benefits
*This post contains affiliate links I first heard about Kombucha from my aunt several years. She's what I'll call semi-healthy. Really into her supplements but that's kind of where it ends. But she knew her Kombucha. She mostly prescribes it for colds. Why? I don't know why and I don't know why it works but it does. Kombucha is one of the fermented foods touted to be good for digestive health. It is very popular these days and chances are you can find many bottled varieties at your local store and even some on tap. Here is what I know about Kombucha: Kombucha is called a "mushroom … [Read more...]
Trying the Oil Cleansing Method for Acne
So...I'm sure my daughter wouldn't want me blasting her private info all over the internet but in the interest that this might help another preteen I'll share what what's been going on for the past few months. Along with the 2 digit age numbers acne has shown up on my sweet baby's face. My baby's face has always been as smooth and blemish free as fresh peach so this has no doubt unnerved her. I've discussed this phenomenon in ad nauseum with her aunts and even mothers of friends and scoured the internet for more information because as we all know the internet is the source for all … [Read more...]
