Essential Oils for Ingestion?

I believe that essential oils are beneficial for your health.
However, I am not suggesting EOs for ingestion, even when another big EO companies said so.
I think it is very risky to do so and I would be alarmed when a consultant tells you that EOs are ok for ingestion.
Be wary to unsafe suggestion....listen or seek more to trusted source.

Here's why:
"It is important to keep in mind that internal use has risks. Because the mucous membrane is thinner, it allows for a more rapid ingestion of essential oils. Any safety concerns associated with the essential oil become more of a concern when ingested, as “up to 95% reaches the bloodstream when used internally” than the “potential 10% when used topically.”

One reason that I love Poofy Organics is also because of their ladybug logo! I love ladybug.
We did a ladybug themed baby shower for Tiara :)
This is my very own little ladybug

God's Words

Another BIG thing in creating safe haven is feeding our souls!

I believe that God's Words play important part in creating a safe haven.
Please plan to spend a minimum of 5 minutes each day to meditate/reflect on the Scriptures.

Fish, Fruits and Veggies...

I am not an advocate of buying organics for everything. This is a good list to start knowing which Dirty Dozen Plus fruits/veggies might contains pesticide and it is probably wise to buy organics for those. You can just buy whatever the freshest and cheapest for the Clean Fifteen ;)

Another big thing in my household is FISH.
I love steaming, baking, and making it into soup.
However, the mercury contamination is alarming. This is a good guide:

Is Wild Salmon worth it?

"You are what you eat" so let's be mindful of what enters our body

I plan to go over whether buying organic poultry is necessary on another post.... Stay tuned.

New website I LOVE!

Not a new website...just new to me.

Came across this website:
http://ecofriendlymamausa.com/product-reviews/greenwashers/

and I LOVE IT. It is full of  helpful information for me.

Yes, she viewed Norwex as one of the greenwashers..........and sadly, I have to admit that I agree with Eco Friendly Mama USA.

I LOVE Norwex's cloths, but not so much in their other products.
I demand more transparency on the ingredients.

Anyway, if you want to buy skin care products for your baby, look at her approved list :)

You can only trust a company as transparent as Poofy Organics for your babies' and your family need.
