I have been using essential oils for years and yet I have never heard of Pennyroyal essential oil. And now after doing a little research I can see why. Pennyroyal is not your typical essential oil. This oil is deadly if used incorrectly. It's use it not be taken lightly. So if you are a dabbler in essential oils I highly recommend you leave this one alone. If you are an intermediate essential oil user (like me) I would find someone who is an expert and learn as much as you can before you ...

Style Your Doll with the Doll Salon Chair
Against my wishes my daughter received an American Girl 18" doll for her 5th birthday. Well those dolls need a lot of care. Especially when it comes to the hair. And for a 5 year old that's not fun. She doesn't want to spend time brushing out her dolls hair every time she plays with her. Or making sure she doesn't put Grace away with a braid. She just wants to have a good time! So it got me to thinking. How do I make brushing Grace's hair out fun? By getting a doll salon chair! The doll salon ...
Lemon Eucalyptus Repel Unwanted Visitors
The first time I heard of lemon eucalyptus oil I thought someone had blended lemon oil with eucalyptus oil. Seems logical, right? Wrong! It's an actual tree that grows in tropical climates.

Lemon eucalyptus has been shown to be very effective in repelling mosquitos and deer ticks! Great for those who spend their time camping or up north in the ...
Get Your Bergamot On
We have been using essential oils in our house for years. Everyday we use at least one oil in a diffuser if not more. And I love to share how we incorporate them into our daily life. When I first started using oils I had no clue what Bergamot Essential Oil was just based on it's name. In fact, for a long time I never used it because I wasn't sure what it was. But it's actually a very commonly used oil. Bergamot oil is derived from the rind of a nearly ripe fruit of the bergamot tree. I bet ...

Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball
My nephews love sports and are about three years old. Nick's Very First Day of Baseball is the perfect book for them. Children are curious by nature and this book really helps a child understand the game of baseball and everything that goes into it. Even my 5 year old daughter loved listening to the story. But I must admit my favorite part was when the coach was having the children do exercises. The level of detail Kevin Christofora (the author) wrote gave step by step instructions for ...
