What if I told you that smelly arm pits are an indicator of your health? Sweat does not smell, but when it comes into contact with certain bacteria on the skin, it can cause you to smell. Although you have products that may (or may not) cover up body odor, that doesn’t fix the root…
Ways to Reduce Household Toxins
“If you listen to your body when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream.” Living toxin free is impossible. Unless you plan to go live off grid, in a huge forest, you’re going to come into contact with toxins somewhere. Whether it’s the run off from pesticides sprayed on the park’s grass or smelling that…

Quick and Yummy Overnight Yogurt Oats
Good food, good mood! Sometimes I feel like dealing with Daylight Savings time and little humans is worse than a full moon as a nurse. In Germany, we “fell back” last weekend (a week earlier than our family and friends in the US). The spawns seem to think this is a reason to wreck havoc…
