Say No to Dryer Sheets
Fabric softener smells oh so good but is not oh so good for you. Ugh. It's so sad that this popular product has a hidden unhealthy side to it. When I attended my first Young Living class, I learned that dryer sheets were the #1 toxic product that exists in my home. The US Product… Continue reading Say No to Dryer Sheets
Copaiba (Coe-pie-EE-ba)
I frequently have heard about copaiba but only ordered it for the first time last month. It's an oil in my favorite blend, Stress Away.
