I only burn beeswax candles for all the reasons below!!!

Our beeswax candles have a honey like scent. They are dripless, smokeless, non-carcinogenic, non-toxic, non-hazardous, and slow burning. Beeswax candles even burn brighter than other candles. Also, did you know beeswax burns clean? It cleans the air as it burns, emitting negative ions that capture and neutralize dust, oders, mold, bacteria, and other toxins.

For your consideration...

AIR FRESHENERS & SCENTED CANDLES ARE TOXIC https://amzn.to/38mezp6

Don’t underestimate how toxic air fresheners and scented candles are. Even if you don’t use these in your own home, it doesn’t mean you’re not exposed in stores, doctors’ offices, public restrooms, or friends’ homes.

“We think that by using an air freshener, for example, we’re creating a more pleasing environment. Once we unleash that plug-in air freshener, though, our sense of smell instantly becomes disabled. When you’re living in a home or working in an office or other environment with a plug-in air freshener spewing chemical-laden oil into the air, you may not smell it anymore become you’ve become desensitized to that scent.

These chemically scented, vaporized poisons hurt the lungs—their waxy, oily residue builds up in the lung sacs. If you’re someone who doesn’t smoke and yet you love plug-in air fresheners, you’re better off removing your plug-in air freshener and starting to smoke. That’s right; you actually have a better chance of longer-lasting health and vitality without complicated diseases if you smoke ci******es than if you breathe plug-in air fresheners day in and day out.

The oily film also ends up in the liver when it enters the bloodstream from the lungs. Plus we swallow air freshener when we breathe it in through our mouth, and that brings it to the intestinal tract, from which it enters the bloodstream and heads to the liver, where it can reduce liver function.

When the chemicals enter our bloodstream, our natural killer cells, lymphocytes, and other white blood cells absorb them, and that instantly weakens our immune cells and even kills some off. Our white blood cells need clean, fresh, oxygenated blood; with chemical scents, our white count becomes hindered. Exposure to a heavy dosage of air freshener or scented candle, or similar scent could mean three to four days of a weakened and lowered immune system. The synthetic scent chemicals can, at the same time, feed viruses and bacteria, allowing them to prosper and reproduce, leading to further illness. Someone who’s prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs), sinus infections, or flare-ups of fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, MS, eczema, psoriasis, or Hashimoto’s may experience a new flare-up following exposure.”

We can’t avoid these toxins all the time, so it’s important to know how to effectively cleanse them out of your body. You can find out how to do this in Cleanse To Heal. Get your copy at https://amzn.to/2HJKKr3

Calendula fan here!

Calendula is one of the most used medicinal herbs in our house... the dehydrator often has a few trays filled with the flowers so we can use the petals all winter for teas, salves, lotions and creams...and it is so pretty to look at ☺️

cottonwood hunting anyone?

“My daughter was out looking for a photo of ‘nature’ for her photography class. We went down to the fairgrounds to maybe get a picture of a lake or some ducks. After taking lots of pictures and on our way back to the car she found a true hidden secret of nature, something my Grandpa showed me when I was little, and I showed my kids, and I am sure they will show their children. She found a Cottonwood tree with dry twigs underneath. If you break a dry Cottonwood twig at it’s rings, you will find a star inside. I remember spending hours collecting Cottonwood sticks and breaking them. 💜 I think she found a beautiful picture to represent nature.”

consistency...not perfectly...big relief.

Consistency is everything. Develop a rhythm for your life that honors your mind, body, and spirit that you can sustain every day. You will not always show up in life the same every day, but you will show up giving your best for that day. ~xoxo Michelle & Barb
