I finally organized my small apothecary this morning.

Do you, or someone you know, struggle to fall asleep due to jittery, jumpy legs? I can help 😁 Very limited supply.
Come visit me, Sunset Essentials, at 368 Chestnut St (next to Gillys Lilies) during the Christkindl Market.

I’ve been busy getting all the beautiful Sunset Essentials natural body powders ready to go for a Pop Up booth at 368 Chestnut St during the Christkindl Market.
All the scents plus a fresh, outdoorsy scented powder for the guys.
Body powders are lightly scented with essential oils and made with all natural ingredients (no talc). They are skin softening, moisture absorbing, deodorizing and address chafing. Use to freshen your shoes and even your carpets.
I hope to see you during Christkindl to pick up a luxury powder puff box, which is refillable, or a shaker bottle for someone’s stocking.

Come by 368 Chestnut St, right next to Gillys Lilies.

Little Ranchers will be there as well with lots of scone and brownie mixes.

What a lovely gift to make any woman feel special…. Mother, sister, aunt, girlfriend, grandmother.
Sunset Essentials uses all natural ingredients and no talc.
Body powders are lightly scented providing skin softening, moisture absorbing and friction reducing properties. Use after bath or shower as well as anytime to freshen up during the day or before bed.
Each body powder box contains 7 oz. of scented powder available in Lavender Vanilla or Mountain Rose. A deluxe color coordinated powder puff and powder sifter which is removable if you desire.
Best of all, containers are reusable and refillable. Refills available by contacting Sunset Essentials on Facebook or call 570-412-4578.
Only available at 45W in Mifflinburg.
SHOP SMALL 😁
Additional scents available in 5 oz. shaker bottles.

64 degrees here today on November 16th. I’m sitting out back de-leafing my summer herbs…. Rosemary, Sage and Thyme to use throughout the winter. Comfrey root all dried and waiting to be made into infused oil.
It was delightful sitting outside working today, so peaceful, listening to the farmers tractors and equipment as they finish up in the fields. Occasional honeybees flew up from the hives to check out what I was doing. Not anxious for the cold 🥶 weather to arrive.

Hope to see you Sunday

Getting products ready for the upcoming Artisan Show Sunday November 12 at the Lewisburg YMCA. Come see all the talented crafters for some early Christmas shopping.

Yes!

I have recently changed my stance on this after seeing the number of people experiencing adverse reactions to essential oils that are not high risk, such as frankincense, helichrysum and lavender.

I am also incredulous to find that people are using undiluted oils on their face in order to improve their complexion. This is a really bad idea! Using undiluted essential oils will dry your skin as well as increase the risk of allergic reaction.

But the real kicker is - you don't need to do it.

Even for the extreme situation of healing infected wounds, 5 or 10% dilution is usually enough. If you want a cosmetic effect 1% is a safe and effective guideline.

Our Chamomile is coming in strong in the garden this year!

Chamomile has amazing relaxing and stress-releasing properties. This makes it great for tea or use in baths!

In fact, drinking the tea can help with arthritis flare ups.

It is also soothing to inflammation, supports skin health, aids in digestion, and can help with skin allergies!

We are currently drying it to make tea, bath tea, and skin tinctures. We’ll make hydrosol too: an easy and refreshing way to apply it to your skin!

What would you use Chamomile for?

More information to come. Keep watch.

87 Chemicals Found in Febreze

The first thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove odor molecules and it doesn't clean the item it comes into contact with.

The odor molecules are still there. Your nose just can't perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead.

That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs...but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled!

Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects.

Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG...they found 87 chemicals in total!

Now this is just one Febreze product, but the fact that only 3 ingredients were disclosed and that so many undisclosed ingredients are dangerous, it's safe to assume that their other air freshners are just as dangerous.

Febreze Ingredients

Below you'll find a list of just some of the 87 chemicals found by the EWG in Febreze Air Effects, listed in order of their toxicity to humans:

BHT - Known as a neurotoxin, endocrine disruptor, immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye and lung irritator

Acetaldehyde - Known to cause cancer, toxic to reproduction and development, immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin, skin, eye and lung irritator

"Fragrance" - One of the three ingredients actually disclosed, it's a neurotoxin, immunotoxin and allergen

Propylene Glycol - Causes cancer, allergies, toxic to immune system, accumulates in the system, non-reproductive organ system toxin, is classified with "enhanced skin absorption" and irritates the skin, eye and lung

1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol - Carcinogenic (causes cancer)

Limonene - Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Methyl pyrrolidone - Toxin to reproduction and development, allergen and immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Alcohol denatured - Also disclosed in the ingredients of Febreze, it's linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, organ system toxicity and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Butylphenyl methylpropion al - allergen, immunotoxin and and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Ethyl acetate - linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organic system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Geraniol - Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organi system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritation

Linalool - allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Benzaldehyde - neurotoxin, and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether - non-reproductive organ system toxicity

Ethylhezanol - developmental and reproductive toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Hexyl cinnamal - allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator
And way too many more...
