A fun website

I have been battling with some health issues and slowly discovering that some of my problems are coming from cosmetics and hair products. I have switched to a natural makeup and today I found a website with some great ideas for natural hair care. Many I had heard before, but some are new to me. Check out their website http://www.pioneerthinking.com/. It is very informative!

I am definitely trying some of the recipes!!

Essential Oils for infertility? Really?

It's been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would share some information that I just researched for a lady having difficulty getting pregnant.

It seems that there are 2 essential oils that are good for infertility problems. Chaste Tree and Coriander--who knew! Chaste tree is said to help with all kinds of woman problems from PMS, to cramping, sore breasts and beyond. Sounds like one I need to put in my cabinet with as many girls as I have. The other essential oil, corriander, is said to remove estrgen type effects and is good for regulating mestruation and possibly even menopause. Wow 2 essential oils that could make my life a little easier. The best part is that the cost is not that bad, $15 for the Chaste Tree and $8 for the Coriander both come in a 5ml bottle. Ok so I spend $23 on two essential oils, now what?

You can add a few drops to an unscented massage oil base, add a few drops to a spray bottle of distilled water shake it good and spritz you, the bed your whole house. Dilute the oils the oils in some grapeseed oil and put it in a pretty bottle, then dab some on as a perfume. A diffuser which is a dish with  candle lit underneath, with some water in the dish add a few drops of the oils and light the candle. If you make your own soap add the oils to your soap. The list goes on!!

I love playing with essential oils and I do not in any shape, form or fashion profess to know what I am talking about. Do take the time to do a little research on your own before jumping into something knew. There are lots of opinions out there, and most are right, but just different!!

(PS If you would like to order any essential oils, drop me a line, and I can do that for you!)
