-- 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.

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?

 -- 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.

-- 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.

Vitamin D is what our body makes from exposure to sun and through eati...
