Holidays are busy… And I feel like that’s an understatement. As much as it is a great time of year, it can also be super stressful to get presents bought, cards mailed, decorations up, holiday concerts attended and plans made all while still working! So, since you likely won’t be able to make it to your regular yoga class, here … Read More
Essential Oils To Warm You Up
With snow in September, I’m staring to reach for warming comfort foods and smells a bit early this year. Early morning and evening markets have some of our market friends complaining about aggravated arthritis and fibromyalgia too. Soups, stews and gumbos have now been a regular evening meal, and here are some nice warming essential oils and blends that also … Read More
My Basic Face Care Routine And Why I Do It…
It’s amazing how many people use certain products on their face but don’t really know why. That was me for a long time until I started getting interested in natural products and started asking a lot of “why’s”. I’ve started a small daily routine. It took me a long time to find a routine that was simple enough for me … Read More
Back To School Stress?
Even though the pictures are all smiles, my kid and me have some anxiety about going back to school. Pre-school last year took about a month before there wasn’t a dramatic drop off. As excited as we both are to do it again, I know both of us are a bit worried about another new school, another new teacher and … Read More
Relaxing Into Meditation
I used to be great at setting aside a portion of each day to breathe, do yoga or meditate. Then business life with 2 kids snuck up on me and my meditation routine has not been regular. I’ve been more stressed and more anxious lately, so I’ve decided it’s time to get back into my meditation routine. The problem is, … Read More
Refreshing DIY Summer Blends
Summer time is full of hot days, long nights and road trips! In the winter, I enjoy blends that are warm, soothing and spicy but in the summer, I like blends that are uplifting, citrusy and refreshing! The combination of heat, lack of sleep and long hours on the highway can leave me feeling a little zapped of energy. Diffusing … Read More
Product Profile: Aftershave Balm
We originally formatted this product for my hunny. His facial hair is coarse and gets caught in every razor he uses leaving him with raised bumps, rashes and irritated skin. His solution for the last few years has been to never shave, just trim. Then Rachel’s man seemed to have the same problem with irritations and rashes because he HAS … Read More
Essential Oils For Camping
I love to pack a few essential oils in my bag when I travel. They take up virtually no space and can come in handy for headaches, sleep, staying awake on the road, bugs, yucky washrooms, fevers and even…hangovers when fireside drinks get carried away. These are some that I find I’m always throwing into my bag for the road. … Read More
Summer Skin
We forget how high the UV index can be in Canada during the summer. You’d think in a place with almost 8 months of winter, our summers would be mild but that’s definitely NOT the case. The first week of July has been hot. I’m not complaining as I love the hot weather, but, when it’s hot like this with … Read More
Why We Love Farmer’s Market Season!
Farmer’s markets are where we got started! Three years in, we are still out on the streets all summer. We wouldn’t do it unless it meant something to us and it means so much more than making money. In February, we were humbled to receive an award from the Alberta Farmers Market Association. Having received the 2016 Make It Award … Read More
