-- Product Review -- I am extremely impressed with the generosity and professionalism of Martin, marketing rep for Natural Tonus & Power company, who around May 21st sent me 6 of their products – which I decided to split into 2 review articles, with 3 products reviewed in each article. I received the order on May 28 th and we were able to pick up the product via the US postal service on May 30 th (we’re located a few miles north of the US border). The company is based in Elkhart, Indiana (USA). In this article I will review: Essential Nutrient for collagen production – Vitamin C Serum Daily Anti-aging Formula Natural Cutey Cream Pure advanced Anti-aging Formula, Vitamin C Cream …since they are all products that are applied topically to the face and neck.

-- Quote of the Day --  "The best things in life are nearest:  Breath in your nostrils,  light in your eyes,  flowers at your feet,  duties at your hand,  the path of right just before you. T hen do not grasp at the stars,  but do life’s plain, common work as it comes,  certain that daily duties and daily bread  are the sweetest things in life.

You had the idea, planned the chapters, and the time for writing has come. When I'm working on a book I write for hours, think about revisions constantly, and even revise in my sleep. If I don't monitor myself, however, I can become obsessed with writing. I work longer than I should, get behind on household tasks, have an aching back, and tired, gritty eyes. None of these things foster writin...

-- Product Review --  We first started speaking with Kari Hairston of Radha Beauty about their Premium Tea Tree Oil product on May 20th and it we confirmed the review project soon after that. It was ordered on May 21st and arrived on May 27th at the US postal service just across the border (we’re a few miles north of the US border). The product arrived in a 2” wide - by - 5.5” long - by - 2” high white cardboard box. Inside, there was only a small square of plastic bubble wrap to protect the large blue glass bottle and the clear glass dropper, which has a rubber top. Upon doing some research on the company and this product I found out some really interesting things. First – their tea tree oil is “100% pure and natural essential oil, therapeutic grade – the best tea tree oil on the market, produced through steam distillation of fresh leaves”. Impressive, right? I have always loved tea tree oil – it is...

 -- Positive News --  Pollinator Week was celebrated in Canada earlier last week, however I found this great information from Seeds.ca that you may find of interest: " The very best thing you can do is plant for them. Habitat loss is one of the largest stressors responsible for the decline of our bee-loved pollinators, so plant just one pollinator-friendly species, or plant a whole field. Plant native species, or plant species that you know are laden with pollen and nectar. Scroll down to find out more! " Many communities are becoming certified as bee friendly, and just recently the Ontario government formally became the first jurisdiction in North America to significantly reduce the use of neonicotinoid pesticides. I also learned from Seeds Of Diversity's latest newsletter that Home Depot, Lowes and Rona have all announced a promise to phase out the use of neonics on their plants and to label any that were treated with neonics... which kills pollinato...

-- Product Review --  It is important to remember that the skin is an organ, it absorbs everything it comes in contact with and as such natural products like Maxasorb D3 Cream are looked at as a supplement for the entire body. This also reminds us that everything we put on our skin from make up and fragrances to chemicals in the air are absorbed into the body – which is why so many of us are increasingly conscious about the products that we buy, ensuring they are organic, all natural and healthy. We are increasingly seeing many medicines come in skin cream products as well as “patches”. Maxasorb D3 is paraben free and made with natural ingredients – listed as: water, aloe juice, coconut oil, glycerin, palm stearic acid, emulsifying wax, cetyl myristoleate, panthenol, cetyl alcohol, Vitamin D3 – 1000IU/dose, Vitamin E, phenoxethanol, tetrasodium EDTA, scorbic acid, citric acid. Vitamin D is what our body makes from exposure to sun and through eati...
