Barefut Oils company is yet again giving away a free oil this month as long as you pay the $3.95 for shipping. I got mine in the mail a few days ago. The original price is $13.69 for this oil so getting it free is quite the steal. This month it is a 15 ml lime oil. It smells like the other citrus oils; just like the fruit and without that chemical smell.
Lime essential oil has many benefits including increasing a person's appetite, preventing and treating viral infections, reducing joint pain and boosting person's immune system. If applied to the skin, with a carrier oil of course, it can fight off an infection caused by a wound.
Check out Barefut oils and order your lime today!

Why is There Bleach in Our Dishwasher Soap?
Before I started making my own dishwasher soap I tried to get soap that would properly clean my dishes, but one that had less chemical ingredients in it as well. I found this one and since I was in a hurry I just grabbed it. It is Palmolive brand and since it is phosphate free and eco friendly I thought it would be safe. At the time, I didn't even think about looking at the ingredient list.
Recently I spilled something on my stove and nothing was cutting through the grease so I tried this soap right on the stove. I grabbed towel and scrubbed it. After washing it, I realized that my towel was stained! THIS DISHWASHER SOAP BLEACHED MY TOWEL! WHY is there bleach in our dishwasher soap????
I checked the ingredient list on the back and there was none. I tried researching the ingredients online and couldn't find the full ingredient list but I did find that there was ammonia in there. This is a problem.

The Cause of Peanut Allergies
I recently saw a post that stated, "Why can't I bring peanut butter to school, but you can bring preventable disease?" This statement just basically contradicts itself. I guess I should call it a question, but I know their intent. They were trying to make it a statement.
The person who posted this is absolutely correct! We should definitely keep those who are vaccinated out of schools. According to the inserts right from the manufacturers, vaccines shed and they are getting healthy unvaccinated children sick. Vaccinations cause outbreaks not healthy kids without diseases.
Secondly, your vaccinations cause peanut allergies in the first place!
The main reason why so many kids are allergic to peanuts is because they are injected with the vaccination which has peanut oil in it at such a early age. They have been using peanut oil in vaccinations since the 1960's. You can look up the statistics, but before this era it was extremely rare for people to have peanut allergies. Now it seems like half of the children in America have this type of allergy. Many people suffer from this allergy so terribly that they need an Epi-pen.
Injecting the child with peanut oil at such a early age causes hypersensitivity in the child. This will cause a person to be allergic to peanuts for a lifetime. It's not a risk I would be taking.

Anti Vax Stickers FREE - Just pay for shipping
I just received about 150 of these awesome anti vaccine stickers in the mail for free as well as a 5 piece logo to stick on my car to spread the word about the dangers of vaccines! I plan to give some of the stickers away to a close friend who also refuses vaccines as well as stick them on my mail when they go out. I am especially excited to put one on a medical bill and send that along in the mail. I know more healthcare workers are opening up to the idea of the dangers of vaccines, but there are still many people that still choose to inject their children with poisons. If you are interested in a free set of stickers for yourself or a car piece head over to the site here and contact them asking for the stickers.

Honey and Lavender as a Facial Cleanser
Cetaphil, Deep Clean Neutrogena, Clean and Clear foaming, Clean and Clear deep action, Clean and Clear Advantage are just a FEW of the many facial cleansers that I have used in my early teen years. My acne never improved. In fact, over the years it actually got worse. Why? Because all of these "facial cleansers" have nothing but garbage in them. Chemical and chemical after chemical. It's no wonder I had all the skin problems I did. I tried all of the kits with the cleanser, black head scrubber, toner, and moisturizer and that made problems worse.
In my teen years, I figured out that I was allergic to perfumes and artificial fragrances. I eliminated all of that out and tried a few natural facial cleansers at my local health food store. Nothing was as effective as my honey/lavender mixture.
I have found all natural RAW honey mixed with a good quality of essential oil to be an amazing facial cleanser. Make sure it is local.
For a toner I use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. It is raw and unfiltered and definitely better than the cheaper apple cider vinegar you would find on the shelf.
I did actually hear that you need a moisturizer to train your skin to produce the right kind of oils. It also protects your face. I have always hated the way moisturizer felt on my face, but the natural moisturizer is definitely the way to go! For a moisturizer I use a little bit of coconut oil. You really don't need a lot, because a little goes a long ways!
So there you have it- a great facial treatment for any skin type is honey/lavender as a cleanser, apple cider vinegar as a toner and a coconut oil as a moisturizer.
I have noticed great improvement in my skin's appearance in just a short amount of time with this method. I still do have skin problems including acne, but it is much more controlled now that it ever has been.

My Expanding Oil Collection
I have been using eucalyptus oil for about 4 or 5 years now in replace of VICKS when I feel congested. However, over the past year I have been exploring in other oils as well. I made my own bug spray last year, which is pretty costly but it' a lot better than spraying the chemical filled spray onto my skin.
My collection is growing rapidly. I love using orange and lemon in my diffuser when I'm cleaning as it leaves my house with a clean scent.
Lavender is one of my favorites for relaxation. Running this essential oil through my diffuser puts me to sleep quickly and peacefully.
I'm looking into getting a few blends including "clear air" which purifies the air. It's great during this cold season!
I personally like the NOW brand. It is more affordable than most brands, yet it is made with superb quality. I have done my research and won't buy the cheaper oil brands, yet I find Young Living extremely expensive. It is almost triple the cost of NOW and provides you with the same benefits.
Below is a view of my oil collection. What are your favorite oils and what brand do you prefer?
