As I have started my own line of skincare products (now available!) I figured that I’d better check with the FDA to see how these products are regulated.
DIY Healing Boo-Boo Balm with Frugal Recipe Option
While many people see the new year as a fresh start, until this year it was always the end of summer for me. A new year, heading back to school, meant that I could cast aside the bad habits of summer and get back to basics and new habits. Over two years ago, these new habits included significantly reducing my …

DIY Sunburn Salve
While much of summer has already passed, the hot and sticky days of August still lay ahead as do the dog days of early fall with their hot days and cool nights.

Non-Toxic DIY Hair Oil (an effective hair taming recipe)!
I am a little past due to see my hairdresser. (When I say “a little,” I am totally exaggerating…it’s A LOT). I adore her, so that’s not the reason I haven’t been. I love getting out of the house for pampering, so that’s not the reason, either. Maybe it’s because I have a 21 month old toddler and a husband …
