How it all started

We originally found oils as part of a muscle-supporting massage for Jake. I think we were both a bit skeptical at first, but the more great experiences we had, the more we wanted to research.

Item by item, we chose to replace something in our cabinet with something less toxic. Eventually, we weren’t shopping for anything in the Health & Beauty section at retail stores. Our medicine cabinets are now full of Young Living supplements. We clean top to bottom with Thieves Household Cleaner. And we go to our oils before other remedies whenever we can.

…But Why?

The more we hear about the toxic chemicals in so many of the products in the stores, the more we want to protect ourselves from their harmful effects.

When you research the ingredients in those products you hear things like carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicity, allergens, immunotoxicity…

The word “fragrance” is an umbrella term for any chemicals that the company wants to hide. Fragrances in most products are typically synthetic - sometimes even when they say it is “natural.” There are over 1000 chemicals banned in European cosmetics but only 11 are banned in the US.

The more we learn, the more we want to do better. We want to find clean alternatives to our old products & help other families, too.

We love our wellness lifestyle!!!

…Being a Maker…

Sarah is a creator. If she isn’t snapping photos of friends & family, she has to be doing something with her hands. She crochets & knits… and she recently started pottery. Sarah has done several other crafts from time to time: scrapbooking when Calvin was little, macrame, painting, jewelry-making. You name it & she has probably tried it!

Jake needs a hobby. He has tried several things & maybe someday he will decide on something he loves & stick with it! In the mean time, Sarah just throws ideas & kits at him to try until he falls in love with something. Every time she thinks, “Maybe THIS will be IT!”
