Oh, the weather outside is frightful—and so are the chafed skin, chapped lips and brittle nails that arise this time of year. Here’s a beauty routine to keep you beautiful despite the season’s elements.

So many people who I know and love have gone through very difficult situations this year, facing unimaginable pain and loss, and struggling through the holidays. So, here are a few words about facing grief over the holidays.
You know those times when your kids seem a little distracted, stimmy, or unfocused? Sometimes a moment of mindfulness is all that is needed to refocus energy and get back on track. Breathing techniques can calm the body, reduce stress and tension, and help achieve a positive mind-body balance.
If you are like me, you will love these easy, healthy stovetop meals. Everything is available at Trader Joe’s. These meals contain no wheat/gluten, dairy, or grains and they are fast and super simple – all you need is a few pots and pans and a stovetop. No chopping, prepping, or peeling required!
I’ve been thinking a lot about stress. This is an interesting way to look at it, and I thought I would share here. Maybe it will help one of you look at your stress from a different perspective.
Summer is my favorite season, but it’s not without its share of annoyances. Humidity, summer sickness, and bugs are definitely at the top of that list. Luckily, your favorite essential oils can help with all your summer stresses.
love avocados! They are delicious, buttery, filling, and so good for you. These awesome avocado recipes from Delicious Living are perfect for summer and best of all, they are Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, and Vegan!
My autism journey has changed the way I live and care for my family. I am passionate about nontoxic products, natural remedies, grain-free nutrition, essential oils, and healing the symptoms known as autism. This is a space for anyone aspiring toward cleaner, healthier living.
