Nobody likes cleaning. Well that’s not true, I have a friend who LOVES cleaning, but I think she’s the exception to the rule. I know I don’t like it but of course it has to be done. For years now we’ve been relying on good ol’ baking soda, vinegar, castile soap and a few other gentle yet effective options
We pride ourselves on using the best quality ingredients. To borrow one of my favourite words from my late Dad, we’re also not chintzy about it. Our first ingredient in our Balancing Face Oil is Argan Oil, which tells a little about where our head is at when we create and blend our goods.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best things. I personally don't think that facial cleansers need to be harsh, or stripping, or full of strong detergents in order to do a good job.
Wow, I cannot believe it is September already! Why does the summer always fly by? My eldest requested a new lunch bag this week, and it got me thinking about the eco-friendly choices we make as a family when packing lunches for school.
The chemicals in our skincare. We all know they are there, but for most of us, we just use it and don’t really give that much thought about what those words mean, or what those chemicals are, or how they may or may not impact your health.
So many of us in the Lower Mainland and surrounding areas woke up to the smell of campfire and a strange haze in the air over the last few days. Unfortunately, we didn’t wake up at the cottage or camping, which was my first thought as memories of my cottage came flooding back as I breathed in that air. This was because of all the forest fires that have been happening in our province in the last few days. We’ve had a very dry Spring and early Summer, with no end in sight.
We are so fortunate to live in a community that has such strong support for small local businesses. Some of our favourite places to shop include Soko Tea House in Port Moody run by a lovely family we’ve gotten to know.
When reading Aviva Domm’s article, “What’s a Mom to Do? Preventing Early Puberty and Hormone Problems In Our Daughters” I wasn’t surprised that the second BIGGEST contributor to early puberty in girls was exposure to environmental toxins.
We had a great time at the Plastic Oceans fund raiser last night in Vancouver, and learned a lot about all of the plastic pollution that is having such a detrimental effect on our planet.
