When we moved into our Airstream, some were so excited but others asked “Why?” Well, we finally addressed what gave us the motivation to pack up our things and move into our airstream flying cloud. Even though we’re 8 months in, I’m still amazed at how natural the transition felt for us. J & I…
Benefits & Uses: Ylang Ylang Essential Oil for Skin & Hair
Whenever I mention ylang ylang essential oil (pronouced ee-lang ee-lang), people usually have no idea what I’m talking about. If you know me, you probably even think it’s a word I made up.

Leaving the Oregon Wildfires Sept 2020
I haven’t even gotten my other two posts up about my 2 month reflection of airstream living or our move from GA to OR. But J is more on top of things these days and has gotten our first YouTube video up! It wasn’t how we expected to start our channel, but it’s a first…
Stop Eating Junk & Feel Better
You walk into the break room & there it is: cookies & pizza. A “Thank You” gift from some well meaning soul. The struggle is real. How in the heck are you suppose to stop eating junk when it’s everywhere you turn? Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful & happy because I know there’s great…
Balance Your Hormones Throughout Your Lifespan
Hormones: Many of us have a love/hate relationship with them, imma right? We love when they’re balanced & in sync, but hate when they’re outta whack.

It’s been shown that not only what you eat, but also breathe and put on your skin can affect your hormonal health. Why? Because toxic chemicals in these products get into your body via…
Feel Run Down? Adrenal Fatigue Maybe The Reason
Adrenal Fatigue is something I didn’t believe in for awhile. Many conventional doctors don’t believe it’s real & I can see why. First off, it’s a term coined by a naturopath and second, the glands don’t actually get tired. But they do get overworked. You see, the adrenal glands are two triangular organs that sit…
Does Eating Sugar Make You Fat?
Science is a fascinating thing. Although many think scientific data is something that doesn’t change – it does. Since the 1960s fat has been blamed for Americans increasing health issues. This has lead to negative feelings around fat, but it may not be the “bad” guy it’s been made out to be. When fat is…
What’s a Menstural Cup?
There was once a time when I was constantly checking my tampon. Like, obsessively. You see, I have a tilted uterus (which means my cervix hangs out in a catty-whompus position). So tampons and me weren’t friends. Although, I always agreed with the “cool kids” about how “horrible” pads were. This was before I knew…
Rash From Your Natural Deodorant? Here’s What To Do
Super excited to switch to a natural deodorant only to come up with a rash in your pit? You’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions people ask me about after they switch. Like anything new, there is an adjustment period. But, you do have some things to look forward to! Less…
