If I could offer you an all-natural option to support your health on a daily basis and be able to use in times of minor health challenges, would that interest you? Most people give me a resounding yes on this question. It's empowering when we have solutions at our finger tips for common family mishaps as well as keeping our families healthy to begin with!

If I were to ask you what body part can be responsible for heart disease, diabetes, migraines, dementia, and rheumatoid arthritis…would you ever guess your mouth? Poor oral and dental health can be responsible for so much more than cavities and gum disease. Not only is your mouth the first part of your digestive tract, but it's your tool for how you communicate and express yourself to the world. It's pretty important to make sure your mouth is as healthy as possible.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the laugh lines and forehead wrinkles came from? Over the years, our faces change! I started to take more of an interest about two years ago. My face was familiar but somehow it seemed like it was aging overnight. The truth was I had always taken care of my skin but I didn't have skin care rituals that I stuck to. I knew I had to wash it daily. I knew to moisturize. Truthfully though

Autumn is always my favourite season. It's the start of jeans, sweaters, wool socks and plaid shirts. It's socially acceptable to drink tea more than twice a day {I'm not the only one, right?}. It's time for soups, stews, and all things crock pot. Oh yes, fall definitely makes me happy.

Meal planning used to be my second biggest frustration around healthy eating with my family (the first by far is getting my kids to eat vegetables). I would often default to the same old meals so that no only was I bored but my family literally couldn't stomach one more round of homemade tomato sauce.

I love reading "five fun facts" about other people. It's a quick glimpse into the stuff about them that they find most fascinating. In that spirit, I want to share five fun facts about me that you need to know. If we're going to be friends either through this blog, Facebook, or Insta {it's my fav social place to hang out}, there are some facts that I hope will shape how you see me.

If you were to ask me what the ONE thing is you can do to change your life, I would tell you it's to have an early morning power hour. The early morning is quiet, peaceful and uninterrupted. It is time for you and ONLY you. There are no distractions in the early morning. It’s the time when magic happens. You intentionally create time to be aware of your physical, emotional and mental self and health.

"Water is boring."

I hear it all the time from customers and patients that I would encourage to drink more water. So, I would challenge them...what if water didn't have to be boring?

My thirsty friends, you have options! You can flavour with traditional choices like lemon, cucumber, berries, and mint. Or you can try essential oils and have delicious new options at your finger tips each day.

Fact: I have not purchased salad dressing in over fifteen years. We have made our dressings from scratch for as long as I can remember. They're delicious, healthy and most are made with less than seven ingredients. Store bought dressings have ingredients in them that I don't want, including sugar, potassium sorbate, xanthum gum, and unhealthy vegetable oils like soybean and canola. Not only is making dressing from scratch EASY but it will save you money.

Are you ready for the most delicious yet simple recipe for homemade mayonnaise. Confession: I am obsessed with mayo. It's so delicious. So creamy. And so great to add on burgers, as a dipping sauce, or as a base for salad dressings. The problem with store-bought mayo is that it's full of additives and has a long shelf life (months or years, depending on what you read). So, for a while now I've made my own homemade mayonnaise.

I want to share with you my top ten favourite things to pick up at Costco. I'll preface this entire post by saying that Costco is not a place I love to frequent. I find it overwhelming, impersonal, and chaotic. It goes against everything I believe in when it comes to shopping. However, as a busy mama who likes to have a stocked house and fridge, sometimes I just take a deep breath and make it happen.

Can we talk cleaning? And can we talk cleaning with essential oils that are not only versatile and affordable, but are also non-toxic so you don't have to worry about what chemicals you bring into your home? Since introducing doTERRA oils into my home, I have completely made over my cleaning cabinet. I make 80% of my cleaning products at home and do so for less than $1.50 per bottle.
