Laundry time

I had heard of wool dryer balls years ago, but never tried them until my mom gave me some two weeks ago. Even then I wasn't sure how I'd like them, I pictured the sound of tennis balls banging around in the dryer making an awful lot of noise. (Plus I don't enjoy staticky clothes, I don't like to fold them or wear them.) Being a gift, I thought I would give them a try and I was excited too. With 7 of us it's not hard to find laundry to do. So the first day I did 5 loads of laundry and was impressed!

Cleaning Your Face Naturally

Cleaning your face with olive oil...I know right?, how can oil clean your face...    It was a bout a year ago I came across this post about the oil cleaning method. I was doing research to find information on what would be a good face soap i could make. This was not at all what I was looking for and I thought oil really, but I'm one to try it all if just once, and I had olive oil so why not.   Here’s a direct quote from acne.org : “ Oil dissolves oil. One of the most basic principals of chemistry is that “like dissolves like.” The best way to dissolve a non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent similar in composition: other oils.

Essential Oil for cold and flu

Tis the season to get sick. There are 6 of us and half of us are out in public most of the day picking up all those nasty germs. I've been sick for the past 5 days and yesterday I woke up with a sinus infection and I really thought I would have to go to the doctor. I came across this site   that had good information on essential oils. I used peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus oil in a steam with a towel over my head two time yesterday. I could feel the infection had drained out of my sinuses in to my lymph node in my neck. All night I softly rubbed my neck down ward to help move the fluid out. By the time I went to bed I was feeling much better! This morning I woke up still a little sore but so much better than yesterday. I'm glad I didn't go to the doctor to get pills! I've got peppermint soap and eucalyptus soap so you can steam up in the shower!
