Clean Living

Friends, I have no idea what has come over me, but I am ON FIRE with ideas for how to live clean!  I feel like the scales have been removed from my eyes or something! It is wild, and fun!  For a DIY girl, to discover that I can make my own,

Vitamin C Serum
Moisterizer
Body butter & Scrubs
Toner
Shampoo
Conditioner
Toothpaste
Deoderant
Sunscreen
Fragrance

Lipstick/gloss/balm
Concealer
Mascara
BB Cream
Blush
Bath Oils
Medicines (antibiotic ointment, headache treatment, tummy releif, pain releif)
Vapo rub
Dishwasher detergent
Home cleaning products
Air fresheners
The list goes on!!
 And that I know every ingredient in them is safe for me, my husband, my kids, my dogs, my guests...... it is just the coolest thing ever!!! Now I fully understand that this would not be fun for everyone.  I am a crafty girl, and have always enjoyed this type of thing.  So turning my kitchen into a lab is not a big stretch.  My kids find it HILARIOUS to see me mixing and concocting my recipes, and funneling things into jars and bottles, and putting pretty lables on things.  I am in heaven.  The best part is, THE PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING. Who would have ever guessed that apple cider vinegar with essential oils would be the best conditioner I have ever used? Or that the hand soap I keep in my bathrooms rivals the luxury of the most expensive soaps you can buy, they smell so delightful. My skin and hair have never looked better, my teeth have never been whiter or healthier, and I am having so much fun.  Of course, being a sharer, I want to share the the joy.  I want to teach people how to do this.  I want people to love natural products as much as I do.  So if you want to learn, let me know.  If you just want to try products let me know.  But most importantly, start looking at the ingredients in what you are using, and start eliminating the most dangerous toxins from your products.  If you are not inclined to mix up your own batch of toothpaste, lol--- there are good products out there.  Ava Anderson Non-Toxic is a good place to start.  My dear friend Beth Spooner can help you out with that. She is happy to do one on one or group consultations, her link is on the home page of my blog. In the interim,  I am including some good information in this post to help you be an ingredient detective.  Live Clean friends!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God. I bel...
