The Essential Oil I Use For Practically Every Ailment You Can Imagine

February 2, 2017 12:04 AM

Product: Tea Tree Essential Oil

I'm relatively new to the world of essential oils, but once I started using them, I started swearing by them! I use them for about everything now. I am getting over a horrible allergy fit with a lot of coughing. I used a bunch of essential oils combined with cough syrup (the good stuff too, since Cocoa Puff stopped nursing) and it's nearly gone!

Pump Around, Pump Around! Why the Ameda Purely Yours is the Best Breast Pump.

October 6, 2016 10:29 AM

Brand: Ameda Product: Purely Yours

One of the most important decisions you will make after you have decided to breastfeed is if you’re going to pump too. Not every breastfeeding mother needs a pump, but I sure did. With Froot Loop, I never did quite make enough, so I had to pump all the time to try to boost my supply (I did a ton of other things too, but that’s a whole other post!).

Snots McGee: What a Nasal Aspirator is and Why you NEED one if you have Children. Here's Two to Choose From.

September 28, 2016 5:06 PM

Product: Nasal Aspirators

Of all the bits and bobs that you need when you’ve got a baby, a battery powered nasal aspirator is in my top five. Our first kiddo, when he was younger than a year old, had a cold with a lot of nasal congestion. The squeezy ball aspirator just wasn’t doing it and he kept screaming louder (producing more and more goo). Realizing this wasn’t going to work, I made a trip to Walmart and found a battery powered nasal aspirator. Now on our second kiddo, we thought we’d get a new aspirator just for him. Unfortunately, we’ve had a chance to use it!

Gentian Violet: the BEST Treatment For Thrush, Rashes, Athlete's Foot, Ringworm, and MORE!

June 6, 2016 7:38 PM

Product: Gentian Violet

I found a product that used to be used quite frequently but for some reason, people stopped using! I had a strange rash that would go away, but then keep coming back no matter what I did. I would clear it up with tea tree oil, but then it came back a few weeks later. I’d put TTO on it again and it would go away but it would keep coming back! I did not know what else to try. I tried fungal creams, antibiotics, various essential oils, calamine lotion, benadryl, everything. Finally a friend of a friend suggested I look for gentian violet! And OH MY GOODNESS... IT WORKED!

Review of Yardley of London's Soap: The Only Bar Soap I Use Anymore!

May 11, 2016 1:16 PM

Brand: Yardley's Product: Soap Bar

I have (mostly) stopped using bath products with sulfates in them. It took a little searching to find a good replacement, but I finally settled on Yardley of London soaps.

Natural and Organic Shampoo & Conditioner Review

May 11, 2016 1:15 PM

Brand: Nature's Gate Product: Herbal Shampoo & Conditioner

A few years ago, I stopped using “traditional” shampoo and conditioner. I started avoiding parabens and sulfates. Most shampoo and conditioner has sodium laureth sulfate in it. I was in Austin one day and went to Sprouts. I thought maybe I should look for shampoo there since they have a lot of natural products there. I found this brand of shampoo and conditioner called Natures Gate and it was on sale where if you bought the shampoo, you got the conditioner free! Well, I had never paid that much for shampoo or conditioner before (I was always an herbal essenses girl before that), but I thought I’d give it a try.

How to HEAL your skin NATURALLY: Review of Antifungal Soap with Tea Tree Oil

May 11, 2016 1:08 PM

Brand: ArtNaturals Product: Body & Foot Wash

Sigh. Despite my best efforts, I have chronic athletes foot. It goes away for awhile, but it always flares up occasionally. I have products that help take care of the flare ups (I like Gentian Violet, Clotrimazole, and straight Tea Tree Oil and/or Lavender essential oil, but I like this soap from ArtNaturals to help with every day prevention.
