The wise men brought three gifts to the baby Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He was King, so gold makes sense, but why frankincense and myrrh? Why were these given to baby Jesus and what makes them so important and special? Historically, essential oils or aromatic oils were used by Egyptians as early as 4500 B.C. Scripturally, oils appear in the Bible time and time again, often referencing olive oil, but the oils we are about to explore are also all mentioned.
In addition to their historical significance, these oils offer numerous benefits for modern-day use. Sandalwood, also known as aloes, has a warm and woodsy aroma, perfect for relaxation and enhancing member experiences in spas and yoga studios. Cassia, with its unmistakable fragrance, is commonly added to hair products and diffused during the fall and winter months. Cedarwood, mentioned over 20 times in the Bible, is revered for its comforting and uplifting aroma, making it a popular choice for men's aftershaves and colognes.
Each oil in the Oils of Ancient Scripture collection offers unique benefits for mind, body, and spirit. From promoting healthy-looking skin to creating a calming atmosphere for meditation and prayer, these oils are a beautiful addition to any essential oil collection. Experience the power and history of these ancient oils for yourself by adding the Oils of Ancient Scripture collection to your daily routine.

My kids went back to school last week. We were sad to hang up our beach bags but ready to return to our routine and our sweet little island school.
This school year, your kids may be heading out the door or heading back to school, the “homeschool room” or the kitchen table. Either way, they will still need support. So let’s chat about a few things to have on hand.
Read more...Are you ready? We are about to dive right into the basics of the integumentary system. In other words, we are going to talk about your hair, skin, and nails - and how to support them!
So often we look at our hair, skin, or nails and think it only needs support from the surface, but that is not the case! Now don’t get me wrong, taking care of those things topically matters. But what I want to challenge you with today is to focus on what’s happening on the inside and how it affects what you see happening on the outside.
Our body is a complex web of interworking systems. When your liver is abused, you might start to notice it in the color of your skin. When your gut isn’t working properly, you might start to notice things like psoriasis or eczema. When your hormones are imbalanced, you might start to see an increase in acne or hair loss. See how it all connects?
Well, don’t let that overwhelm you. We will discuss the basics of the integumentary system so you can see the whole picture. Then we will talk about some of the WORST things you can do and some of the BEST things you can do for your hair, skin, and nails. We want you to leave feeling more empowered than ever! Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Whether she needs a little time to relax, some extra energy from taking care of all the things, some time for pampering, a little emotional TLC, or just some good old-fashioned rest, here are a few ideas that we love!
Health and wellness is on the rise but many products that are being advertised as “safe” and “all-natural”, are anything but. The packages are pretty and the labels are clever, but the more you dig, the more you find out. Let me help you decide what’s truly safe and give you the tools you need to start making simple swaps for a healthier home.
The American Lung Association explains how many common household cleaning products can lead to health problems like eye and throat irritation, headaches, respiratory issues, allergic reactions, worsened asthma, and possibly even cancer! Yuck!! We don’t want that.
Read more...Did you know that wearing perfume or cologne is a confidence booster?! People say they feel more confident when they have a killer scent on. Some people even feel ‘naked’ when they forget to put it on during their daily routine. Whether you're a daily wearer or you only apply for special occasions, we all know the power of smell. They can transport us thru time and space to grandma's kitchen, or a sweet childhood memory out in nature with friends or family. They can also leave a lasting impression of US on others. The smell of your tantalizing perfume will linger in their mind.....
Unfortunately, cosmetic fragrances, body sprays, lotions, and perfumes are not all they are cracked up to be.
Yep.... there are toxic chemical synthetics lurking in there too. Cancer
is not sexy. Disrupted hormones...not sexy. Infertility. Not sexy. So how can you smell like a goddess safely?!
I've got your back, once again.
A pretty important ditch & switch...
As the gatekeepers of our homes, we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and our families. This month, we're making a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch personal lubricants and use nontoxic massage oils instead!
When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinder us in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don’t harm our health is with this line of massage oils. For use as a personal lubricant, Relaxation or Sensation Massage Oil would be a great choice.
Read more...When preparing your home for the holidays, it’s important to set the mood and create an atmosphere that feels “homey” and inviting for your guests and your family. Don’t grab the typical sprays and plug-ins you find in the stores. So many are filled with absolute junk you do not want floating around the air. The same rings true for most household cleaners.
