Can you see it?<div>In my search for something new and affordable this year I came across this company called <b><a href="<a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2325953&u=1910831&m=141132&urllink=&afftrack="></a>" target="_blank">Canary</a></b>. The first thing that caught my eye was the name. At first, I was like, huh? I got curious about why they chose that name. So of course the wheels started turning, my brain immediately went to articles I had read in the past about how canaries long ago were used to warn miners about toxic fumes (which thankfully is no longer a practice). At the same time, I was wondering, why choose this tiny, amazing creature to name your brand? But now I see why...</div><div><br /></div><div>Finding this company was a real gem (see the connection, ugh my brain, hehe). I now see why <b><a href="<a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2325953&u=1910831&m=141132&urllink=&afftrack="></a>">Canary</a> </b>fits, in my opinion. Come to find out, <b><a href="<a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2325953&u=1910831&m=141132&urllink=&afftrack="></a>" target="_blank">Canary</a></b> is not only a chemical-free, face, body, and oral care brand, but they really strive to maintain a very zero waste approach when it comes to all their packaging. </div><div><br /></div><div>All their products come in recyclable packaging, including their glass jars, and subscription boxes. Who doesn't love that! We sure do!...here at <b>The Healing Sprig.</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>On their website, you can also find informative articles and descriptions of all the ingredients they use in their products, which I found to be very transparent. I also took a look at their mission statement, you can read here below. </div><div><br /></div><div><i><div>"As parents & earthlings we have decided that it is no longer acceptable to stand by & watch the trash build up around the earth and pile up into the future of our children. Our oceans are full of islands of plastic trash & less than 5% of plastic is actually recycled! It's time to clean up where we clean up.</div><div><div></div><div><br /></div></div><div><b><a href="<a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2325953&u=1910831&m=141132&urllink=&afftrack="></a>" target="_blank">Canary</a></b> was born out of a desire to make the purge of plastics fun, accessible & unexpected with conscious personal & home care products that kick ass. We take an unconventional approach to inspire you to think twice about the products you bring home. Let’s have some fun while we purge plastic and level up what’s in our bathroom and home. Because no one said these products need to be boring."</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjK9v1N6Egx5u_JHIG9KX84ZQcWSDUfs1kjkVMNQYXuSUD0Qt1M9pXE8c42ue5OhiX7j8Cs8ghX4SDpYqhh9zjv6el_Z53QudWTb2_La4n_c2Am_XXpJ5UULpc4ThF41wIfGyB4dDh6CtqqmAthaJfrZcPtgdgWgPFew4s7WOQXPkrh1Wvc159bwDYDI9Mc">

I was really taken by the simple design and look of the box. I really liked it. </span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>Once opened though, I was really surprised with the inside of the box. There was a big, colorful photo, that really popped!

I thought it was really clever on how they provided super simple instructions. Everything you needed to know was right there. I also appreciated that the packaging was </span><span>gender neutral.

All you need is 1 to 2 tabs. So per instructions I popped 2 tablets in my mouth, crushed and chewed them. I did notice a slight grittiness at first, but it soon went away. It was not off putting. I started brushing with a wet brush and noticed there was a very small amount of foaminess. That might not be for everyone. Some need to see the foam built up to feel it's doing the job. I didn't mind the subtlety. Once I finished brushing my teeth, they felt smooth and really clean. I liked that it left a mild minty aftertaste too. I was pleasantly surprised on how effective these 2 little tablets worked. </div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUY8J9tCUT7gPE2rHPa5siyy1XOD5w0y-SkfWpFvlKbeSHrZ7xMwEg7zsCPEVCWH02TAzadX-Zv4Exn5b43nT9F1qGhM-e7kEmouhvSsdlrxUj8jKfLcmrkaGq110YCjn9-LynA_h8HKbmMdGwdTmRTV6QnWWqyCx6OCSQpsvOAlsVtsuah11A3mp6Glx9" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhmmdDfBX8P7YkIJHm8KtWuXkE6jJ-wvJ2wu85df5utYVJqnm00sFSGCm2RyLyg0GwX6YA_zo2Z71NV32VjxBSfkZMI6C4YCCG4Ccf-1vuqeCWVpNsXk4_bu-7HxYwIu93MVOJy9cC0iXmpGwHySuNx7aK7xArs1ue-jrUYz_IYdlKxakS0BOPwaQUvEg8N=w300-h400" width="300" />

There were some products I've tried in the past that were be really aggressive in flavor and would leave my mouth burning afterward. I always had to rinse after. This on the other hand, is smooth and not harsh and very mild in taste. The peppermint flavor is subtle. Out of habit, I rinsed my mouth after use, but you really don't have to. There was no burning aftertaste or strong, lingering peppermint flavor, which I liked. The mouthwash was so easy to dilute, simply add water in the bottle and pour the concentrated mouthwash in, and that's it! Now you can just swish, spit and your done. </div><div><br /></div></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6uNwiScACZYA-RhGSQz1Jlg80R0NskgziC97ICzSSTgZXjic3t3s1cKhTczVKiIitbS8HTePYCesMf02_pvk30h1EnEd9YF-r6wkeMAvnhNybJwuCfWoKSVX-_F35YsY2LJrarSoyeptlWVYX6rtQrPLFw-qB6FcQlqme6MKhkjt7Dwo1zK_24Q1xuoO/s4000/20240313_143120.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6uNwiScACZYA-RhGSQz1Jlg80R0NskgziC97ICzSSTgZXjic3t3s1cKhTczVKiIitbS8HTePYCesMf02_pvk30h1EnEd9YF-r6wkeMAvnhNybJwuCfWoKSVX-_F35YsY2LJrarSoyeptlWVYX6rtQrPLFw-qB6FcQlqme6MKhkjt7Dwo1zK_24Q1xuoO/w300-h400/20240313_143120.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqbVZeWGhhWCwJmSdgFFOjhM_F1qEmDX9n6AIzCigt8EOq2jmDVVRTBI2pAP-AP3LaojA3ltN4ThARnxVdCjPMK1rtWjjvyGfSpJryrzOYZNVHha_NZMBBx6XYsZfgrbSU7pAiN4AwshEDuNOuMyxvi0aTrauDM674NMEFvW2ifhC29YRffZzu0qoCLeu5=w300-h400" width="300" /></div><div><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></div><div><u><span><b></b></span></u><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I really liked the simplicity when it came to preparing the mouthwash solution.

He is a driver and sometimes drives with the windows down. The allergy</span><span style="font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight); letter-spacing: -0.8px;"> season this year has been so bad in our area. When he used it for the first time he couldn't believe the relief he felt. He said it worked immediately and could breathe so much better! I was waiting for him to finish using it and clear up first because I wanted him to recover from the nasty </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.8px;">allergies</span><span><span style="font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight); letter-spacing: -0.8px;"> he was dealing with. </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.8px;">I finally used it myself, and believe me it was not pretty.</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.8px;"> </span><span><span style="font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight); letter-spacing: -0.8px;"> You can totally see on the bottom of the reservoir what it pulls out, really gross. It's surprisingly gentle and the suction is not overwhelming. I was able to talk while it was doing its thing. I didn't know what to expect at first...but it was super gentle, I mean you can definitely feel the water going in but it came out fast from the other nostril. It only took 30 secs to complete its cycle. Mind you, I've used the Neti pot, and squirt saline bottles and they have helped but are pretty messy, but not like the </span></span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.8px;">Naväge</span><span style="font-size: var(--heading-h3-font-size); font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight); letter-spacing: -0.8px;">, there is no mess!

You have to wait until it finishes its' cycle to do the other side. When you are ready for the other side you have to turn the nose cushions around and start again with a new salt pod. That was the only drawback for me. All in all, I was ok with that because it made the experience more tolerable, by not feeling gushing water in both nostrils. I truly love the convenience for sure and the quick relief it provides. It's also small and light enough to hold with one hand while it's operating. We got the multiple user system, it comes with an extra nose cushion in a teal color, to distinguish who is using it and keep things sanitary, love that! One system, 2 people, made saving sense to us. If you have multiple users you can definitely order extra cushions or machines here below, to fit your family's need.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>I definately (and my husband does too) feel the </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.8px;">Naväge </span><span>Nasal Care System was a really good investment for us.

They make it so easy by curating eco-friendly products that are also affordable! Here is some quick info:</p><p>About MightyNest:</p><p>"It all started when co-founders, Chris and Kristen, had their daughter, Ayla. The reality that their decisions impacted another human being, forced them to take a closer look at the products they were using in their home.They were startled to find that many of the products they used every day contained potentially harmful chemicals and had unnecessary risks associated with them. Together, they agreed there had to be a better way to help people discover products that are better for themselves —and for the planet. And from there, MightyNest was born."</p><p>The Healing Sprig is always looking for great companies that are making a difference, and best of all, affordable. This month, I have been able to promote this awesome company, The Mighty Nest....They are offering The MightyFix, which costs $13/month (The first month is $5!!)

I normally shy away from sharing too much personal information. But I feel this product is so worth sharing. I am sure many of you out there are familiar with the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b>. Well I have to say I have succumbed to the fascination of the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b>, with great satisfaction! I am so glad I made this purchase. It was totally worth it. I have been using it for a couple of years now and the<a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH"> <b>Squatty Potty</b> </a>is still going strong! Even my husband loves it. At first glance I thought, "Okay this is a little big, is it really going to fit under the toilet?" To my surprise the design of the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b> is perfect. It slides right under. So it does not get in the way. It's also super easy to keep clean, which is so important especially if you have boys in the house. I also love their website. It's full of funny puns, and, don't get me started on the videos. Hilarious! They also have a variety of styles of stools (no, not that kind of stool) to choose from.<br />

The reason I decided to start promoting the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b> is because it's absolutely fantastic! When I have company over they always ask me about it. Some of my friends have heard me rave about the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b> for a while now. They've even gone out and purchased the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty</a></b> for themselves and love it just as much as I do. It has revolutionized the way I go to the restroom so much so that I hate going into public toilets because I don't have my <a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH"><b>Squatty</b>.</a><br />

I have traveled across the world and I have seen my fair share of public toilets. I have come across some that are just mere holes in the ground with handles on the walls so you can hold on and squat and do your business (yes, even in this day and age). When I encountered this I was totally flabbergasted because the country that I was in at the time was not a third world country. I was scratching my head in disbelief, I remembered asking myself, What happened here? Why is this stall missing a toilet? Is it out of order? Nope, that's just how it was, yikes! I was so weirded out about the hole in the ground, let alone trying to do my business while performing a balancing act. I eventually gave up and ran off to find a "regular" toilet.<br />

Little did I know about the health benefits back in my traveling days. When I came across the <a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH"><b>Squatty</b> <b>Potty </b></a>a couple of years ago, it helped me see how posture can make a big impact (fill in your pun). The design of the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty</a></b> makes it so much easier for you to still get the health benefits from the convenient stool, per say, and not have to go through that whole acrobatic routine (mentioned earlier). I completely understand the concept of the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty Potty</a></b> and it's health advantages. Proper toilet posture does make a difference. I can attest to that!<br />

But on a serious note the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">The Squatty Potty Co.</a> </b>does offer some Medical Case Studies on their website. You can read about real life experiences and "elimination" successes (sorry, couldn't resist). I for one have definitely seen improvements in my "elimination" process, so has my husband. I can honestly say that I can't live without my <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnlvH">Squatty</a></b>! I love it! It really has changed the way I do my "business" everyday.<br />

Not only do I want to keep promoting companies that will help you start an eco-friendly life (and if you already do that, good for you! I'm doing a happy dance) but I want to continue to find savings to get you started, and who doesn't like that?! I'm looking forward to expanding my website with new and exciting companies that are striving to make a difference. It is my sincere hope to continue to reconnect with all of you.

They are quite common there. Most households have them. It's the norm. It is a very well known fact that using a bidet is more hygienic than using toilet paper. We have been using this product in our household for a while now. I finally convinced my husband to get one and guess what, he loves it! I can truly say he has a gratifying walk when he leaves the toilet, lol. Not only because he successfully installed it, but he now "feels" the benefits. I know TMI again...I can't believe this actually came full circle (feel free to fill in your puns in this whole post, lol). But again, I feel this is something that needs to be talked about for several reasons. One: savings, two: hygiene health, and three: eco-friendly.<br />

First, savings (we'll move on to more solid and convincing evidence in a bit). Though we still use toilet paper to dry off, we truly have seen a significant reduction in use. Additionally, before the bidet, we were buying those tushy wipes that give you that "extra clean" feel (read labels, some contain chemicals and if you have issues, it might make it worse!) and that started to add up. I honestly did feel we were flushing money down the toilet by then. But the real convincing evidence was when we started to have septic issues (we live in a really old house, built in 1914). Read how these "so called" septic safe wipes can affect your plumbing here: <b><a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/wet-wipes-for-toilet-paper/">Wet Wipes: Biggest Stealth Health Threat of 2015</a>. </b> I used this opportunity to convince my husband that we really needed to install the bidet. Not only would we save money, but it would prevent future clogging problems. That was also reaffirmed when the plumber told us that even though those wipes are "septic safe"...they still take a while to disintegrate, which can cause backup in the meantime, especially if you have old pipes. So there you go from the mouth of a professional, I used that advice as leverage to get the bidet installed sooner rather than later. So not only was it economical, but we were also contributing to less waste (meaning paper lol).

</tbody></table><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">Now in regards to hygiene health, I can personally attest that you do feel much cleaner and fresher when you use this product. There are many added benefits for the ladies out there. Read here:</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">
</span><a href="https://www.self.com/story/benefits-of-using-bidets" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><b>Should We Be Using Bidets In The U.S. Instead Of Toilet Paper?</b></a><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> All in all the bidet really does work in keeping your nether regions extra clean without irritation and it really does cut down on toilet paper usage, especially if you live in a large household. Best of all, you are also saving trees, that is always a perk. I attached this link so you can read about how it benefits the environment here: </span><b style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-talks-bidets/">Wipe or Wash?

We purchased our <a href="https://amzn.to/46cQAHt"><b>Luxe Bidet Neo320</b></a> through Amazon and the price was really reasonable. You can purchase here: <a href="https://amzn.to/46cQAHt"><b>Luxe Bidet Neo320</b></a>. The <a href="https://amzn.to/46cQAHt"><b>Luxe Bidet Neo320</b></a> is super easy to install. We got a little fancy, we wanted the hot and cold features (you know for the winter months lol), but you can choose what works for you. It also comes with a self cleaning feature too, which was very important for my peace of mind. I have to say the product is pretty sturdy and does not obstruct in anyway the toilet seat. It is very well designed. It's a simple solution to upgrading your toilet, no need for renovations. It is easy to remove and reinstall, ideal for people who rent and want to upgrade too. By far, we are very happy with our purchase. You will also notice this brand has received great overall reviews on Amazon. Here is another option, <b><a href="https://amzn.to/46cQAHt">Luxe Bidet Neo 120</a>.</b> <b></b><br />

If you are gun shy in trying something new, I hope this review and links will help ease the idea of convincing you that owning a bidet can truly benefit the environment and also enhance your daily bathroom routine. Just making this small adjustment can really save you in the end. So in conclusion, I too, with a gratifying walk, say, "Bidet...mate, for your down under"!</div><div><br /></div><div>Find them here @ Amazon! 🠋🠋🠋<br />

I grew up with dogs, birds, turtles, and an iguana. I never had a cat growing up because my dad didn't like them. Later in time I found out he had a bad experience as a child with a cat. He tried to play with the cat like it was a dog and things didn't go well (the cat attacked him). Ever since I can remember we were not allowed to bring a cat home. I do have to add that I was allergic to them too.<br>
<br>
When I was single I really didn't have time to take care of a pet because I traveled and worked a lot. I could never subject a little furry creature to neglect, so I chose to put a pause on the pet ownership for the time being. When I got married my husband fortunately was an animal lover like me. He too grew up with pets, mostly cats. I knew deep down he missed that. I mentioned to him that I really wanted a pet for our home. So we both agreed that it would be totally manageable to have one. Adopting a pet meant serious business for us, not only the responsibility, but the commitment that goes along with it. I know this sounds cliche but these precious little creatures become part of your family. To me a home is not complete if you can't share it with a furry friend ( I'm not speaking about humans, no judgement here lol).<br>
<br>
The place where we lived at the time didn't allow dogs. This presented a snag in my plans because I really wanted a dog. Little did I realize this would actually open up an opportunity for me to explore the cat species now that I didn't have to contend with my dad's restrictions. It was time...<br>
<br>
If I was going to be a cat owner, I always wanted an orange tabby. I grew up in the whole Garfield era. I loved that cat's personality. So I was resolved to find me an orange kitty. I stumbled upon this organization called <a href="http://www.catsinneed.com/locations/fullerton/"><b>Cats In Need</b></a><b>,</b> in Fullerton, CA. (I'm not being paid to promote them...I simply love the way the take good care of the kitties and the staff is awesome).<br>
Go to:<a href="http://www.catsinneed.com/locations/fullerton/"><b>Cats In Need, Fullerton, CA.</b></a><div><div><br></div><div>I was able to find my Cheddar (orange tabby) there 14 years ago (yep 14!). The old girl is still going strong. Six months later when I was out shopping for cat food, I fell in love with a kitten we named Rollie. We named him after the Hall of Fame baseball pitcher from the 70's, Rollie Fingers (my husband is a huge baseball nut). He is now 12 years old. He is still "kitten like" and rules the house. Cheddar, you can say, is active as well, but more of a "gingerly stroll" kind of way...Though they are not the best of friends, they have managed to tolerate each other throughout the years (sounds like an old cat marriage, lol).</div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LrEI69E8shBpi17IQR-u4Zn7Mj8n_vZXfVgawpags7OTjvp3f4-Je4l7Sp0X5ROXWaoUPgx7Twq3OSyt07iH0K0I2GlxibHHhaMWreowNc-GnVlc1NJCJw3_lxkH8oO5je9b7CSvbd1g/s1600/20140403_152159.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LrEI69E8shBpi17IQR-u4Zn7Mj8n_vZXfVgawpags7OTjvp3f4-Je4l7Sp0X5ROXWaoUPgx7Twq3OSyt07iH0K0I2GlxibHHhaMWreowNc-GnVlc1NJCJw3_lxkH8oO5je9b7CSvbd1g/s320/20140403_152159.jpg" width="320"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">♥♥CheDdar♥♥<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br></div><div><br></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfiPnWbitB4-UeVms2RauELnCF63W4wGQ1GIpbeIpd9N4ZS9yQycqVsdb3lbG5QGjBRFTBvASV2RgAu4msPu3pMPwCLlMSNI-2vVljGgR6fy9crK-GaVLehhogjf1on-p3KCLEarTIpt6/s1600/baby+rollie.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfiPnWbitB4-UeVms2RauELnCF63W4wGQ1GIpbeIpd9N4ZS9yQycqVsdb3lbG5QGjBRFTBvASV2RgAu4msPu3pMPwCLlMSNI-2vVljGgR6fy9crK-GaVLehhogjf1on-p3KCLEarTIpt6/s320/baby+rollie.jpg" width="320"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">♥♥RoLlie♥♥<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br></div><div>I'm not going to lie, it was pretty brutal on my allergies when they first arrived, but I loved them so much that I was willing to put up with it. I eventually built up a tolerance for them and we have all managed to cohabit for 14 years and counting.<br>
<br>
One of the ways this was possible was through a wonderful product that really helped make this happen. I found a kitty shampoo that helped control the dander. You might be thinking, "Really, you bathe your cats?" Of course it wasn't easy at first, at least for Cheddar, but I found the secret on how she was able to tolerate the water, I would always make the temperature nice and warm and I would turn off the faucet so she wouldn't get scared, (basically a bubble bath for the old diva). I got them into the habit of bathing once a month in the beginning and eventually dwindled down to two times a year because I was starting to tolerate them more and more without any allergic reaction. Now, the shampoo I used back then was reformulated, but the new stuff works just as well. This is it <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3PYsomt">Nature's Miracle Cat Shampoo Allergen Blocker</a></b><br>
<br>
In regards to their diet, we have always tried to keep them both on high quality organic food. I have to be honest, at times it was hard to do for economic reasons. But I remembered what the lady told me when I rescued them from <b><a href="http://www.catsinneed.com/locations/fullerton/">Cats In Need</a></b>..."Always, always stick to wet food even if you have to buy them the cheap stuff." She never recommended dry food, she said that was more of a convenience for the owner, not for the benefit of the cat. Since cats have the tendency to develop kidney failure (especially male kitties) as a result of the dry food diet. She said wet food will guarantee you that they are getting some moisture in their body. So I figured I was going to stick to the advice and try to take preventive measures to avoid future health issues. So we economized to make sure we kept them healthy and well fed. Little did I know my endeavors would hit a wall.<br>
<br>
Our cats have always been on a high quality diet for most of their adopted life. We use to give them a product called <b>Evo</b>. Unfortunately, this company fell into the reformulation "pit" (homage to Andy Dwyer lol)...meaning a new formula was being tested. As a result, it caused a shortage. So in the meantime, I had to scramble to find something else that was comparable. Now that product no longer exists. They discontinued making their products in the Summer of 2018 due to "the food being too expensive to produce at the level of quality they expected their manufacturers to meet" (phew...longest quote ever), whatever that means (lol). Any-who, it was a great disappointment. This caused a bit of panic in some cat owner communities and with me as well. Despite being inconvenient, now I had to go back to the drawing board and search out another company that would satisfy the palate of my small, recalcitrant, furry carnivores, which I know, I could no longer fool (I know many of you guys out there can relate to the bait and switcheroo meal dance and the ornery, turn your back, silent treatment, when they don't like the food). My cats wanted the good stuff! In my search at the pet feed store, I found a product that was recommend by the store clerk that seemed to be comparable to what I was looking for. Well after a few weeks of giving this to my cat, Rollie, my male kitty developed crystals in his urine which landed him in the vet for 2 days! My kitties are strictly indoor which I knew my cat was miserable. It was heartbreaking.<br>
<br>
After that ordeal, I was scratching my head and wondering...what did we do wrong? So I called the lady at <b><a href="http://www.catsinneed.com/locations/fullerton/">Cats In Need</a> </b>(which by the way, so helpful) She asked me all these questions about the food they were on and their ages. I explained to her the whole reformulation debacle I was going through. I also told her the minute we switched them to this new company my male cat started to develop crystals in his urine and kidney issues. She asked if the new food had any fish in the ingredients. I said yes. She said to discontinue giving them that particular food. She mentioned that cats, when they are older, their urine is highly concentrated and they can't dilute crystals, proteins, mucus, and other debris in the bladder. She directed me here: <b><a href="https://catinfo.org/?s_crystals_in_urine">Crystals in Urine @CatInfo.org</a> </b>She said always stick to turkey or chicken at this point in their lives.<br>
<br>
After getting Rollie from the vet, they recommended a product for kidney issues. They told me he would have to be on this diet for the rest of his life. I agreed that the diet would have to be closely monitored but what I didn't agree with was the product they were recommending. It was full of cheap fillers. Knowing this information, I set out to find something closer to their natural wilderness diet.<br>
<br>
After much research, I found a product for kidney issues that has worked so far, and another product to supplement their food with. I took my kitties in to a different vet this time for a second opinion (after much deliberation with their care). I wanted to see if my efforts paid off. The Vet. told me that the cats looked great! He couldn't believe they were the age I told him they were. He said Rollie's kidney issue reversed itself! He also said, whatever I was doing to keep it up. They both got a clean bill of health. This brought so much relief to me. I know some might read this and say I am a crazy cat lady, or they are just animals, or why go through all that trouble?... but to me anything with a beating heart deserves a measure of respect, kindness and love.💕<br>

Save! Save! I Found the Green "Gold" Nugget!When thinking about how to write this review, I came across this article called "The California Gold Rush,1849. I found the article so appropriate to what I am about to share with you. Given I have been out of school for a while, this was a nice history refresher course for me. It reminded me about the skepticism that took place in the year of 1849. It took one proactive entrepreneur, I guess you can say, named Sam Brannan, a storekeeper in Sutter's Creek to light a fire and announce to the world back then, about the discovery of gold. Of course the whole history of the Gold Rush of California is not painted in a favorable light. But the fact that this man felt the need to share this discovery with everyone really helped me to see how excited he was about it. He went as far as to produce a bottle with gold flecks in it, so as to display the gold to skeptics so they can see for themselves the new found product, so to speak. Obviously the only social media back then was the newspaper. Mr. Brannan didn't think people were getting the message quickly enough (I guess) so he went around shouting in San Francisco, "Gold! Gold! Gold! from the American River!" Doing so, it catapulted a great rush ("Gold Rush") of people to head towards those rivers of gold. As a result, many people left their livelihood in pursuit of this new found discovery. Mind you, there were a lot of casualties along the way, but that's a different story.<br />

<br />
Well I can totally relate to Mr. Sam Brannan! I have recently discovered a product that I would like to share with all of you (I'm sure some already know). In any case, I am so excited about it that I too am going around shouting (in my head) <b>"Save! Save! Save!</b> with <b><a href="https://www.smartklean.com/">SmartKlean</a></b>!" Honestly, I was one of those skeptics at first. That's why it took a month to put this review together and put this product to the test. I wanted to see for myself if this really was a product that would deliver, not only in its function, but also in affordability. I tested this product out for an entire month. I have to say it was worth it! It is mind boggling that this little round green ball stuffed with minerals can clean your clothes without any detergents or toxic chemicals. Yes, you heard me, <b>NO</b> <b>DETERGENT</b> needed. I know, right! I am assuming the concept goes back to those olden days when people would wash their clothes in the river and slap it around on the rocks. There is a science behind the reaction of the water which I will leave to the experts to explain. <br />

But as a person who does all the laundry (for years!) in the home, I think I fall into some level of expertise in regards to the smell test (lol) and making sure my clothes come out clean. My training came from my mother who worked in a dry cleaners for most of her teenage life. She taught us how to wash our clothes, and of course, to her, clean meant that the clothes had to have a heavy smell of detergent coupled with a softener scent to determine if it was clean or not. That's what clean always meant to me.... So that's why I was a little leary at first with this product. The fact that no detergent was involved made me cringe.<br />

The one month challenge, here we go! I gave it a try and I couldn't believe it. My clothes came out smelling fresh (no scent, but clean) and soft. Mind you I made sure I threw in some stinky shirts and some damp towels to put this product to the test (I know TMI). But it worked! They do suggest if your clothes are exceptionally ripe or mildewy, so to speak, you can add a little washing soda, or baking soda to boost the laundry. But that's a relatively small price to pay compared to the detergent prices today.<br />

<b>SmartKlean </b>not only has the ability to clean your clothes chemical free, but it also softens it without adding any dryer sheets or softener. I really can't explain how it softens the clothes, but it does! Best of all, when it came time to go grocery shopping, I didn't have to stock up on laundry soap. My husband and I were so excited about that! When we passed through the detergent aisle we started to joyously laugh because we no longer had to purchase any of those products. We were so excited about our new found savings that month!<br />

I know this might not be for everyone...but I am telling you this product works! <b><a href="https://www.smartklean.com/">SmartKlean's</a> </b>reputation is outstanding. It won the parent tested, parent approved award. It's also recommended for people who have disabilities or ones who suffer from skin irritations (like me) because it's chemical free! When you consider the savings on top of all of that, it will make you think twice about how you do your laundry. Notice the chart below, crazy right?<br />

I for one feel when you develop a simple living mindset (SLM) it will help you to maintain a simple home. When we create a habit to live simply it starts to become automatic, at least for me. I have now fallen into the routine of analyzing everything I bring into my home. The SLM also helps me to determine what I should keep and what I should get rid of. Someone asked me the other day..."Don't you regret when you let go of something? "What if you need it later on"? My simple response, (which has always worked for me) "If I haven't used it in 6 months I either recycle, repurpose, revive, or just get rid of it. I feel (as I am sure others might feel the same) the reason it's difficult to get rid of things is because of two main reasons. One, sentimental attachment (which I have to confess I have a struggle with) and two, the "I work so hard for the things that I have"...guilt. I actually fall into both categories, seriously. Now I am no expert but I have to say this six month system of thinking and application has given me good results in trying to maintain a simple life. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now this SLM all started when I lived in Costa Rica. I didn't have much time to go and shop. Some of the malls were way too far. I was also on a limited budget. So what I had, I made it work. So you can say I have been implementing this SLM (in my own way) for more than 20 years now. Wow thats crazy! I have continued with this process all throughout my adult life and I can honestly say it has always worked for me. Even now that I can afford to shop, I shop first in my closet. I think continuing with this SLM has given me more freedom in using my money for other things. Things that matter, like having time to enjoy the things I like to do, and also spending time with my loved ones.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
So here is my simple strategy when simplifying my home and life. First, I make a mental assessment on the items I own. I go through each room and look around. You can take a picture of the room if you have to (pictures make things look different, very helpful). You'll be surprised how a simple picture can help determine if this is the best way you want to be living. Second, just like in real estate, the old adage, "location, location, location" could be applied this way; purge, purge, purge. Purging allows you to see the real (e)state (forgive the pun) of your home. What do I mean by this? Well you can ask yourself: Am I living my best life? Or am I allowing "things" to get in the way and crowd out important things that really matter? Clutter can be suffocating and paralyzing to some, at least for me it is. It's an unbelievable feeling when you free yourself from it!<br />
<br />
Now when it comes to my closet I have always enjoyed the "capsule method". Check out this link here: <a href="https://classyyettrendy.com/2019/01/how-to-reboot-your-closet-in-2019.html/"><b>How to Reboot Your Closet in 2019 @ Classy Yet Trendy</b></a> This method allows you to work with what you have, especially if you are on a budget. Not all of us can afford to get rid of everything and be down to the bare bones. You'll be surprised what a little creativity can save you! Here is a five steps guide for beginners click the link below to get you started:<br />
<div>
<a href="https://classyyettrendy.com/2017/02/start-capsule-wardrobe-5-steps.html/"><b>How To Start A Capsule Wardrobe: 5 Step Visual Guide @ Classy Yet Trendy</b></a><br />
<b><br /></b>
When you apply this method you tend to use all the items in your closet. So most likely you do wear everything within that 6 month time frame. I found the things that I usually get rid of are things that have actually been really worn out. Which to me is awesome because I feel I am not spending more money on new clothes when I can up-cycle and revive my old ones (you know, the "shopping in your closet" idea). If you think about it, it's pretty much the same thinking pattern the boutiques and clothing stores use. They create different styles with basically the same articles of neutral clothing and pair them up with different patterns to put on display. They might use the same black skirt or pant and swap out a different top or sweater to create all kinds of different looks. Hence the "capsule method".<br />
<br />
The "capsule method" helps you to streamline your closet by keeping a few key neutral garments that are versatile and can work with other patterns. I have been able to produce at least 10 to 15 new styles just by switching out a few items here and there. If you are really creative, I have seen postings that create up to 30-50 looks! Check out this link here:<br />

<a href="https://classyyettrendy.com/2017/08/10-item-wardrobe-makes-48-outfits.html/"><b>The 10 Item Wardrobe (Makes 48 Outfits) TW# 132 @ Classy Yet Trendy</b></a> All it took was switching out a few key pieces. Talk about savings! I also include shoes in the purge and capsule methods. I always try to carefully examine the wear and tear of my articles of clothing. If they have a snag or are torn, you'll be surprised what a little mending can save you. Obviously if it's stained or non repairable I try to re-purpose or recycle it before I throw it out. If all else fails, throw a clothes swapping party woohoo...those are fun too! <a href="https://thechalkboardmag.com/host-a-clothing-swap"><b>How to Host a Clothing Swap @ The Chalkboard</b></a><br />
<br />
I do on occasion go through my closet and find articles of clothing that I may have missed, haven't worn in a long time, or they simply don't fit anymore (bummer) and just donate them. I donate here <b><a href="https://www.savers.com/">Shop, Reuse, Reimagine @ Savers</a> </b>If they are in good condition or gently used you'll be surprised how it can help others when you do this small act of kindness.<br />
<br />
So remember, don't be afraid to "launch" out of your comfort zone and start the "capsule method" today and find your freedom! </div>

When we are asked to smile for the camera and we might be self conscious about our teeth. I know for myself, I'm always concerned about the health and appearance of my teeth. I think that comes from my mom. She was a stickler about us getting our dental check ups every 6 months. Now that I'm older I am grateful she managed our dental care the way she did. She instilled in us the fear of us losing our teeth if we didn't brush. Those were different times back then (yikes! lol). Because of her I try to maintain my teeth the best I can and keep them looking natural, healthy, and not extremely white (that's just weird).<br>

Seriously though, you have to wonder about all the chemicals in all those products out there and how expensive it can get, especially if you are daily maintaining your teeth! It can really add up. I for one hate going to the dentist. I'm so glad up until this day I haven't come across any major issues with my teeth. But the one thing I am prone to is cavities. I feel its such a common problem and it can be a real money maker for dentists. After much research I read about how cavities are caused and it helped me to see that you can personally maintain your teeth with the right products and diet. In no way am I excusing a dental visit, those are very important too. But to avoid long term problems I feel that remineralization and diet are the two main key components to maintaining strong teeth. So no matter how much you floss or brush these two components are essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. Believe me I've read and done it all in regards to natural diy toothpaste to commercial toothpaste in the past. Here is an article I found, out of the many I have read, if you want to start this process: <a href="https://www.authoritydental.org/tooth-remineralization"><b>Authority Dental Tooth-Remineralization</b></a>. I honestly really don't have the time to make stuff anymore. I wanted to find something that was natural, convenient, but best of all, affordable.<br>
<br>
One outstanding company I came across is <a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit"><b>Uncle Harry's Natural Products</b></a>. Here is their mission statement: <span style="background-color: white;">"<span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Uncle Harry's Natural Products has been dedicated to making earth-friendly products at people-friendly prices since 1991.

It's a company worth checking out! If you are looking for a natural, remineralization toothpaste that's affordable, <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry</a></b> does not disappoint. I've priced around other products in the past and this company is by far the least expensive. The quality of the product is exceptional too. I use the cinnamon flavor toothpaste but they carry a variety of products from regular toothpaste (which remineralizes too), whitening toothpaste, mouthwashes and remineralization powders.<br>

Now I do have to warn you, if you are new to this process, <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry's toothpaste</a></b> will not look the same as an ordinary conventional big brand toothpaste. Conventional toothpastes are laced with chemicals and they add toxic whitening agents for it to look more appealing. Most big brands don't even have calcium in there formula, which is essential for fortifying your teeth! You can read more about toothpaste toxicity here: <a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/09/09/toxic-toothpaste-ingredients.aspx"><b>Toxic Toothpaste Ingredients</b></a><br>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry's toothpaste</a> </b>is gray in appearance when you open the jar. I know they always say gray is so unappealing, especially in the culinary industry, because we process things with our eyes first. But trust me, you get over it once you brush. Also the smell is subtle, not overpowering, which I was surprised since it is infused with essential oils. But you can definitely taste them, it does zing you as soon as you start brushing, but in a good way (not sure if that helps lol). So I of course had my husband try it too and he absolutely loved it. He doesn't want to use another brand. He said his mouth feels so clean and fresh. By the way, he hates going to the dentist too. Because of this he is so picky on products he uses to maintain his teeth. <b>(Subscribe to my blog, I'll be posting the water picks we love to use too, soon!)</b> I noticed that the texture of the paste is slightly gritty at first (but it somehow disappears) and you can definitely taste the sea salt, at least in mine, but it's not terrible. The paste is thick because they use bentonite clay for the base. It is blended with essential oils that are antiseptic. That makes it possible for you to dip your toothbrush in the jar without worrying about contamination. So as a recap there is definitely some adjusting to the paste (a little goes a long way) and flavor if you were using conventional toothpaste before. The taste will be stronger and the texture is very different (just a little heads up).<br>

When you use <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry's toothpaste</a></b>, they recommend you brush for at least 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse. Repeat two times a day. It really does leave your mouth refreshed and lets not forget the remineralization process too (hands clapping) that is taking effect. By far <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry's</a> toothpaste</b><b> </b>not only is convenient (comes in a small glass jar), but it really is a fantastic product! I honestly feel my teeth are getting a "spa treatment" every time I brush. If you are looking for a high quality toothpaste with a dual purpose and yet affordable, <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3EZnyit">Uncle Harry is your Brand!</a></b> By starting this process it might just save you frequent trips to the dentist, but not only that... now you can say cheese with confidence and take that smile to the bank!</div>

Farmers Market when I was on a day trip with my folks. I happened to wander into this little French shop that has all sorts of wines on display. Little did I know this would indeed change my life in regards to drinking wine. I needed to find a wine that was low in sugar for my folks and a sulfite-free wine for myself (which is a needle in a haystack). I love drinking wine, but now that I'm getting older the side effects really don't outweigh the benefits for me. I am super sensitive to histamines and sulfites. I hate how I feel the next day when I drink a glass or two. The stuffy nose and headaches are a drag.<br />

He said "I'm sorry, we don't carry any low sugar or sulfite-free wines". I was not surprised considering 99% of all the wine shops that I've come across don't stock that. Didn't hurt to ask, right? The only sulfite-free ones I have found in the past were in the grocery stores, and they weren't very good. I think the clerk saw my face of utter disappointment when I looked around the huge display of wines and not one was I able to buy. So the dry spell continues...or so I thought. As I started to walk away he raised his finger in the air and said "Give me a sec., I have a sample of a new product we are carrying now that you can use to prevent the sulfite after effects". All I heard in my head was, "sample in a wine shop," heck yeah! He came out, not with a wine sample (boo), but with this little package called <a href="https://amzn.to/3Mij0aV"><b>The Wand</b> </a>made by <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3Mij0aV">PureWine</a></b>. I was like "Ok, is this some kind of hocus pocus thing?" "What am I suppose to do with this?" He explained that all I needed to do is stick this in the wine for about 3 minutes and it would take out the sulfites. Seriously? So of course all these other questions started popping into my head... How in the world does this little wand do that? Will it alter the taste of the wine? Are you kidding me right now? I thanked the clerk for helping me out and told him I would definitely try it.<br />

When I arrived home I had to look up this thing on online. According to their website <b>PureWine,</b> <b>The Wand</b> is the only product that removes histamines and sulfite preservatives from all varieties of wine. Really?! Have I been living under a rock all of these years? Well no, I assured myself. Apparently this company launched the <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3Mij0aV">The Wand</a> </b>in 2016, so technically I've been living under this rock for only 2 years. Anyway, after reading the instructions I opened a bottle of wine my husband had bought (he can drink with no problem, blah), poured me a glass and put the <b>PureWine The Wand</b> for 3 to 8 minutes in a 6 ounce glass. I took a sip and it was extraordinary, the wine did not lose its taste. It actually tasted better! There was no aftertaste, it was really smooth. I said to myself "Ok this is all good for now, but how will I feel the next day? I honestly have to say...Voila! It worked! I had no ill-effects, such as the stuffy nose or dull headache. Incredible!<br />
Another thing I liked about the product is that it<b> </b>comes in a small package, super convenient to travel with or stick in your purse. Fantastico! <b>The Wand</b> from <b>PureWine</b> really is an amazing product! Now I can finally enjoy a glass of wine without worrying about the repercussions the next day. So as the old saying goes, "absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well no more "absentee" wine here! Now I can do the happy dance, because I have found my "Wand"erland!<br />
<br />
If you are like me, in regards to sensitivities with sulfites or histamines, I highly recommend you try this product, you will not be disappointed. <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3Mij0aV">The Wand</a></b>, from<a href="https://lddy.no/8n6m"> </a><b>PureWine </b>is a game changer!<br />

<a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8"><b>Forage Candle Co</b>.</a> made a really nice impression with the packaging considering it was only samples.

They are on a mission to plant 100,000 trees, so when you purchase any full sized <a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8"><b>Forage</b> </a>product, you plant a tree!

Some of my sample favorites were <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/sherlock/products/sherlock-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Sherlock</a></b> and<b> <a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/pride-and-prejudice/products/pride-and-prejudice-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Pride and Prejudice</a></b>,<b> </b>which is funny, because they are two very distinctive smells. The <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/sherlock/products/sherlock-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Sherlock</a></b> luxury lotion sample has a masculine scent, but it's not overpowering, it's pretty subtle. You can definitely smell pipe tobacco mixed with old leather and a tinge of spice. Maybe this IS how <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/sherlock/products/sherlock-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Sherlock</a> </b>smelled when he was off solving mysteries in the streets of London. To my surprise, I really, really liked it. I tend to stay away from "musky" cologne smells but this one was intriguing, if I say so myself. It definitely was not overwhelming. It wasn't my first choice to sample but I wanted something my husband would enjoy as well. He really liked it, so much so that I'm ordering the<b> <a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/sherlock/products/sherlock-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Sherlock</a></b> candle for his office. The other two candle samples were <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/wuthering-heights/products/wuthering-heights-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Wuthering Heights</a> </b>and<b> <a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/old-books?aff=8">Old Books</a></b>. The <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/wuthering-heights/products/wuthering-heights-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Wuthering Heights</a> </b>sample had a petrichor (my new word of the day), meadowy scent, with a subtle lemon twist to it, which I was really fond of. <a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/old-books?aff=8"><b>Old Books</b> </a>was interesting. It was a little overpowering for me. It does remind you of an old, dusty library. In my opinion, it is a little heavy on the leather notes coupled with the pine. I'm not favoring those two together. On the plus side it does include cedar, which is nice, but the overall candle sample itself really wasn't to my liking. The <b><a href="https://foragecandle.com/collections/pride-and-prejudice/products/pride-and-prejudice-literary-inspired-luxury-lotion-candle?aff=8">Pride and Prejudice</a></b> sample was my favorite. It smells clean and fresh. You can fully smell the touch of cream, lilac, lily of the valley, and rose notes. I love that <b><a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8">Forage</a></b> carries their candles with literary themes (I'm a big fan of Jane Austen).<br />

In my previous blog (<b>"</b>Hunters and Gatherers<b>"</b>) I mentioned that the <a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8"><b>Forage Luxury Candles</b> </a>are made with a dual purpose. I was surprised to see that even the samples burned for quite a while. The <b><a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8">Forage</a></b> candle samples really delivered in the the quality of the lotion as well. I followed the instructions on their website on how to apply it, and, surprisingly, it was not hot to the touch and was creamy to apply. I was impressed on how luxurious it felt on my skin. I'm very prone to dry skin and I couldn't believe how quickly it absorbed into my hands. The smell of the lotion also lingered for a while, which was really nice.<br />
<br />
So, remember when you purchase samples from <b><a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8">Forage</a> </b>they will send you a promo code (which they include in your samples) so you can apply the credit at check out towards a purchase of a larger candle, yay! Overall, Forage is a spectacular company! I was very impressed with their high quality product that doesn't harm your health or the environment. They pour their luxury candles in a high quality reusable whiskey tumbler, as well! So yes,<a href="http://foragecandle.com/?aff=8"> <b>Forage</b></a>, I will definitely have another...another purchase that is!<br />

So far I have been very pleased with <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8">Simply Earth Essential Oils</a> products. I found out that they are a young company that really delivers on quality and affordability. You can tell they love what they do and they stand behind their brand. They post so many recipes online and they often send out discounts to their loyal customers and, by the way, I love their videos. My husband, who never really used essential oils before, now uses them in the shower and around the house. It cracks me up on how into it he is. You can just imagine this big, burly man, with his diffusers making his "blends." I love it! I leave a small bottle of Eucalyptus oil in the shower for him to use in the morning. He wakes up with congestion almost every morning and likes to put some drops with some water in his hands and inhale the vapor. He said it totally helps clear up his congestion. He's starting to get use to the spa feel, which I of course welcome.<br />

Some of my "staple" essential oils that I like to always keep are Peppermint, Lavender, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus , Frankincense, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and anything citrus. I love Blood Orange, Sweet Orange, etc. That's how I started my small collection because I wasn't too familiar with essential oils in the beginning. I feel when you blend citrus with stronger smelling oils like Eucalyptus and Peppermint it gives it a nice balance. The other day I made a simple blend of Blood Orange and Peppermint. I put it in a roll-on vial with coconut oil to carry it with me just to give me a mood lift, and oh how I love those two together! I can smell that all day. I shared some with my hubby and he loved it. That's just a simple blend. For those of you out there that are a little intimidated about using essential oils, you can start with the basic oils like Lavender, Peppermint, Sweet Orange, Bergamot, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus. These oils lend themselves to be used in multiple ways.<br />

I sent a few copies to some of my friends and family who are beginners and weren't quite sure where to start. Something to note though, although essential oils are therapeutic, they can be harmful if not used properly. The eBook from <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8"><b>Simply Earth </b> </a>really does a nice job in explaining the do's and don'ts. They also include blends and dilutions. It takes the guesswork out of what works well if you are newly starting out. They offer a free (click here) <a href="https://simplyearth.com/pages/subscription-box?ab-reviews=1&utm_expid=.KXWo6PooR46zozepRRXWiQ.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fsimplyearth.com%2F"><b>Big Bonus Box</b> </a>which contains 6 small 5ml blend vials, 6 roll on bottles, some carrier oils and other goodies. So, if you are a beginner, this will help you in getting creative with your own personal blends. I have tried many different brands of essential oils in the past. Some were really good and some were ok. I did learn through the years that not all essential oils are the same. It really does matter on the quality of the oils to get their full benefits. I have been very open in trying different brands. I still use some brands that I have bought in the health store, which are very good, but <b><a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8">Simply Earth</a> </b>has convinced me that you can still enjoy the things you love without sacrificing quality, even if you are on a budget.<br />

<br />
I'm off to a little late start today. I have been organizing my thoughts, life, and office, not in that particular order. Though a little challenging at times, so far so good I have to say. I've been really excited to share my experience with the essential oils I received this week. I started promoting a company that truly has impressed me in regards to the high quality of oils they produce, for a fraction of the cost. Their essential oil scents are amazing! When I received my shipment I can smell them right away and they were still in the package! My cat Rollie was going nuts (yes, cats are super sensitive to them). Don't worry about Rollie, he bolted out of the room as soon as I opened the box. Cheddar, my other cat never came around. She lives in the living room, on her "queen bed" (just to assure all the Fur Parents out there, I am really careful in using the oils around them). Got to protect the furbabies!<br />
Now, I have tried many essential oils in the past but because of the high cost, it made it difficult to continue to buy them on a regular basis. I'm sure there are many out there that feel the same way.<br />
We all know the saying "you get what you pay for." I honestly believed that until I came across <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8">Simply Earth Essential Oils</a> I was skeptical at first, and I thought, "this can't be real." I was blown away on how honest, affordable, and generous <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8">Simply Earth Essential Oils</a> is with their products. They are priced at a fraction of the cost from big brands without sacrificing the high quality in their oils. So of course, I wanted to try it first before promoting them on my social media accounts. If you follow me on Instagram here: <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_healing_sprig/">The Healing Sprig</a></i> I'm sure you've noticed I've gone a little crazy on telling everyone about them. I'm so excited to promote <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=1882855.379f8">Simply Earth Essential Oils</a><b>!</b> They are a company worth checking out! I have attached a link below to pass along the savings to you!<br />

<br />
If you were wondering where <b>The Healing Sprig</b> got it's name, well this is an homage to my Abuelita Carlota (Grammy Carlota). She is the inspiration for the name. She is no longer with us, but her memory lives on in my life. She was the heart of the home, in so many ways. I started to recall wonderful times with her when I chose the name, especially when she would cook or take care of our infirmities. I always remember her little jar of botanical herbs. The cure all for anything, from the sniffles to joint pain. Her "herbal remedy cured it all," she would say. After all these years, I can still recall the strong, weird, earthy, herby, alcohol smell that triggers my memories of her trying to pin us down and rubbing our arms with it (belly laugh).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When she would cook she would always have a small herbal garden and ask one of her many grandchildren, "can you break me off "un codito" or "una ramita" (a small sprig of this or that). She is my inspiration of resourcefulness, endurance, courage, love and a crazy sense of humor.<br />
<br />
Despite the many challenges she faced, she managed to raise 12 kids as a single mother. I miss her so much. She left behind so many wonderful memories. When I reflect on those memories it motivates me to continue to challenge myself and work hard for the things that I love. Because of her, I have grown to love and use products that are natural. Products that make little to no impact on the environment or cause harm to my health. I strive to implement that thought process in my everyday life. You can say that my grandmother was my first "influencer" in that department. I hope this will encourage you to recall memories of ones that have influenced your life in a wonderful way.<br />

<span arial="" helvetica="" neue="" sans-serif="">Is there room for one more? I have accepted the challenge that I set upon myself to take a leap in the blogging world. I decided to finally dust the entrepreneurial mind and go for it! There are many things at this point in my life that I can endlessly talk about...travel, food, & my lovable pets. But I choose to stick to one thing that I am most passionate about and that's everything related to natural, chemical free and eco-friendly products.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As a long time allergy sufferer, I wanted to create a website that would inspire people to start living a chemical free and eco-friendly lifestyle, but in an affordable way. This started to become challenging, not only in affordability, but also in finding products that did not sacrifice quality just to make a buck. I feel living a chemical free life should be affordable to all. I wanted to take responsibility for myself and start this journey, by researching companies and their products that are really trying to make a difference, not only in contributing to good health but also in the environment.<br />
<br />
There are many wonderful companies and websites out there that are really looking out for humankind and the planet. I'm on a mission to highlight and promote products and companies I believe in and trust. <br />
<br />
Really, I'm embarking on this journey with the hope of improving my own health and my home. I have challenged myself to scour the web to find and and provide honest reviews on companies and their products that are natural, chemical-free, eco-friendly, and best of all affordable. I will be sharing my experiences and savings with all of you out there! I hope that The Healing Sprig will inspire you to join me on this journey too!<span arial="" helvetica="" neue="" sans-serif=""><br /></span>
