A Note About Sunscreens

I believe the best nonchemical, highly effective natural sunscreens on the market today are the ones containing minerals such as micronized titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which acts as  physical reflective barriers to the sun.  This is opposite with the potentially toxic, chemically based sunscreens that actually absorb the suns rays!  

 Most mineral-based sunscreens can be used by those with sensitive skin and they are relatively sweat-proof and waterproof. --edited from Organic Body Care

Sew, Sew much!

A weekend quilt retreat was just what was needed.   Lots of sewing, much laughter and fellowship from friends.   Quilts nearing completion are always a great thing!   What a great group.  I have learned sew much!

Exciting news!   A customer called to rave about my "Breathe" product.   Although created as a product to open up passageways and relieve headaches, I have had many people tell how it is relieves their pain!  Relief from knee, hip, back and now carpal tunnel pain.  
This customer had surgery on one hand and didn't want to go through it again, but her other hand was really hurting.   She has been rubbing "Breathe" on her hands at night and has no pain and is able to sleep through the night without pain!   Wow!   Incredible stuff. Many of the essential oils have pain relief properties.   How great is that?!   Not a list of chemicals with side effects, but natural healing good for you stuff.   This same customer said her husband is now using it for body pain and it is helping him.  Another returning, happy customer.   I love it!   

Spring is here!   At least for the next few days.  I have to say it is welcome around here and the smell is nothing you can describe.  Clean, natural, essential.    Did you know that essential oils have the properties of nature in them to help in areas that is beneficial and healing to our bodies?      Take soybean oil.  It naturally has insect-repellent properties in it!   Or how about peppermint essential oil,  it is a deodorizer, antiseptic, astringent, and cooling herb.  Great for opening up breathing airways as well as energizing and awakening you!
God sure put detail in His creation.  

My Breathe salve is great for any sinus related problem, respiratory, and opening up airways.   I have had great reports of it helping people with headaches when applied on forehead and temples.   Since it has 12 essential oils and beeswax, it is a wonderful natural remedy for pain in joints as well.  Many of the oils have pain relief properties!   Just think, natural health does not need to be complicated or expensive!

Try some.   I think you will love it!

The birds are happy and busy, snow is mostly gone, and Spring is pushing at us with much awaited anticipation.  Lots of changes, welcome changes.  Good, simple, easy lifestyle things I enjoy.
A Natural Essential is also undergoing changes.   Good things.   Simple things.   Healthy changes. Simplicity.
Only natural scents, but NEW scents are coming:   Lemon Whip.  Lime Fresh.    More good things, better ingredients as I am always researching and trying to improve an already great product. 
I am also going to have lotion pumps, so there will be the option on easy pump on lotion available.

Stay tuned and wait.  I am eagerly awaiting my shipment of ingredients!

A fresh new day, a new start, new beginnings.   Mornings are just for that.
Doesn't everything feel better in the morn?  It is the hope and start of something exciting yet to happen with nothing to stop you.  You GO FOR IT!
