If you have allergies, check out the reviews on this product! While I don't have allergies myself (I count myself very lucky), my husband suffers from them. He was taking over the counter allergy medicine but it wasn't relieving him from his allergy ...

He's usually a naysayer when it comes to supplements. Since we already had this on hand, he agreed to try it during peak season. It's been helping him so much! It took a few days to get the full effect, but the difference is night and day. He has bee... I'm so happy he is getting relief from his symptoms. He really seemed miserable. 

*Reviews mention that it takes a while for it to build up in your system. If you know you have allergies, start a week or two before the pollen gets high.

This stuff is amazing! It has absorption properties that are similar to our skin's own sebum so I like to use it on my face as a “moisturizer” and I use it in my lotions.

I love this scent. I diffuse it before bed and I also made a spray that I'll spritz over my pillow. I put the scent on my wool dryer balls when I wash my bedding. Not sure whether it actually helps me sleep or not, but I love using it as part of my n...

This smells sooooo good! It smells like a mix of summer citrus fruits. Something I love about Far and Wild oils is that you can actually smell them and only need a few drops in the diffuser.

Natural Products

I've been trying to replace some of these store bought products with products that are beneficial and with simpler, fewer ingredients. Here's what's working for me so far.

I'm really loving this stuff lately. I think I have the 4 oz container. It was purchased last fall (2023) and I still have over half of the container left (Spring 2024). A little goes a long way. 

The only thing I'm trying to work out is that it's on the oily side and if I'm not careful I can get it into the hair around my face and it makes my hair look unclean. Honestly I'm probably using too much product, but I love the way my face feels whe...

When I use other shampoos, my hair feels heavy and like there is a film on it. I also suffer from dandruff som...  I know apple cider vinegar and baking soda essentially cancel each other out, but somehow it's working for me!

I like to use witch hazel as a toner for my face. 

This witch hazel extract from Mountain Rose Herbs has been double distilled, and contains 86% witch hazel extract and only 14% alcohol. This makes it more soothing than the version found in your local store, and lacks the alcohol sting and scent. Thi...

I use baking soda for all sorts of cleaning activities. I mix it with apple cider vinegar and water and use it as a hair wash. I know they are supposed to cancel each other out,  but somehow it has been working for my hair. It makes it feel super clean. 

I also use it in my homemade laundry detergent, cleaning my kitchen sink and getting our oven and stove top clean.

I specifically use borax in my laundry detergent. Borax has the ability to soften the water and suspend soap particles in the bathwater. The result is soft, clean, and healthy skin, which is not clogged by the residue of soap particles.

I use jojoba oil in my body butter recipe, on my face when I guasha, and as a carrier oil. I like to infuse it with lavender for a topical pain relief for my neck tension. 

Organic jojoba oil comes from the beans of a desert shrub. It is bright and golden in color with a mild odor, and is regarded as the most favored in the carrier oil family because of its advanced molecular stability. Also makes a great scalp cleanser...
