Antibacterial Essential Oils That Keep You Naturally Healthy
I'll be the first to admit that I used to sneer at ladies who sell essential oils in their spare time, but as years passed, I've learned that these potent little bottles do pack a powerful punch in the natural health world. Though I'm not advocating for any MLM company's wares, I'll admit that I've bought a fair amount of essential oils in recent years.

My First Steps to Making a Healthy Life. Top Story - November 2017.
I started with Young Living Essential Oils in September of 2017. I haven't worked with any other kind of essential oils before. Each of the oils that come within the kit smell fantastic and like what they are supposed to. Their Premium Starter Kit comes with eleven different essential oils. They give you five from their Vitality Line, which you can ingest, and they are Copaiba, Digize, Lemon, Peppermint, and Thieves. The other six are Frankincense, Lavender, Panaway, Purification, R.C. and Stress Away. Digize, Thieves, Panaway, Purification, R.C., and Stress Away are all blends that Young Living has made from other oils. Young Living is the only essential oil company that owns many of their own fields. Their mantra is "From Seed to Seal." Which means that they have the purist form of the essential oil starting from the seed going to the science and then ending with you at the seal.

Fitness Fashions That You Need to Try
If you work out most days of the week, what do you wear to the gym? Regular sweatpants and a T-shirt? Maybe even black yoga pants to go with your tight-fitting middle school T-shirt with the year you graduated printed on the back? These days, a lot of people are working out in the most stylish activewear — women and even men. Despite how sweaty and rough they'll be, not only are their choices in workout wear really fashion forward, but they're designed specifically to work out in. You don't have to be following all the fitness fashion trends to like any pair of the following activewear. The majority of these clothes can handle your quickest moves without tearing, since a lot of them are created with stretchy material.

Why 'It Works!' Doesn't Work
About two years ago, my Instagram and Facebook feeds were both plagued by a new craze from a company known as It Works! and I was curious to see what had half of my friends intrigued, and the other half actually working for the company.

The Answer to Being Stress-Free
I have a lot of trauma in my past and I was tired of living in "fight or flight" mode. Thing was... even after I received counseling and medication and help, my BODY was still in "fight or flight" mode whenever I was stressed. I didn't realize this was a thing until now and I had to make sure everyone knew!! Especially since I know how many people are struggling in our world with being in this mode.

Epilating = Low Maintenance Hair Removal?
Why epilate at all? Well of course don’t at all if you love the body hair you have! I always wish the rest of my body hair was like the hair on my arms; in the winter it’s dark hair on pale skin which I like less because I somehow feel it’s too much of a contrast but in the summer it’s golden and fluffy on tanned skin and it looks all at one and like that’s just how it’s meant to be. When it comes to elsewhere however no such luck; it’s dark and coarse, there’s a hell of a lot of it and I just haven’t been able to reconcile myself with how that looks. If that’s the way you feel too, then here are a few reasons you may choose epilation over other forms of hair removal:

Best Healthy Living Apps
Times are changing. No longer must we count our points in a food journal or handwrite a weekly meal plan derived from the latest fad diet book. Long gone are the days where we must pay hundreds of dollars to have a personal trainer motivate and guide us and in most cases piss us off.

Cough Drops that Will Actually Soothe Your Sore Throat
I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I've decided that I'm either sick (my brother is sick) or it's the air quality with all these wildfires going on. As most people do when they're sick, I whined to my mother. My grandma joined in and said she had gotten a box of Lumen'swatermelon cough drops from Family Health Services. Then I realized, when have watermelon flavored cough drops ever helped with a sore throat?
