This blog is filled with lotions, oils, salves, beauty products, personal care products, bath products, cleaning products and just about anything you can make yourself, better and safer for your family. It is my way of making people aware of what is going "on and in" their own bodies, there by becoming healthier. The best thing we can give one another is our loving time. Please remember that with any new essential oil you try, there is a chance of allergies, so test first.
