🌱 WANT A STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM?? Decrease your toxic load!.✨ This is what happens when we choose to make the simple switch to more natural products for our personal care. The healthy environment we create within our bodies will help protect against the seasonal threats that come our way throughout the year. A simple DIY body spray, natural body lotion, or body wash may seem insignificant on it's own.....but it's part of a BIGGER picture!
➡️ From the EWG: "The average U.S. woman uses 12 personal care products a day, containing 168 different chemicals. While most men use fewer products, they’re still exposed to about 85 such chemicals daily."
✅ I started with a basic essential oil kit and made a few DIYs for the family, and then began replacing all the other harsh-chemical products we had with natural products. {shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body wash, facial skin-care, etc.} So now all the products in our house are cleaner, and we've experienced strong immune systems over the years!

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE....... the “Founder of Modern Nursing” was known to use Lavender essential oil on the foreheads of her soldier patients during the Crimean War for it's powerful calming benefits. 💜💜
Lavender Essential Oil is one of my TOP 3 essential oils to have on hand because it helps with so many different things including:

🔹Calming nerves and emotions
🔹Improving skin irritations
🔹Easing allergy symptoms
🔹Getting Better Sleep
🔹Lessening stress and tension

This is me! 🤣🤣 Anyone else?

Sounds about right 😅

30 MINUTE MEAL.......Cooking dinner after a long day isn’t always easy or fun! One of my go-to healthy meals in a pinch is throwing whatever veggies I have on hand in a wok, topping it with a good teriyaki sauce, and serving it over quinoa. My family loves this!
➡️ Does you your family have a favorite go-to dinner meal that you can throw together in 30 minutes or less??
