So this is something a little different, because I just felt like doing online shopping instead of writing a blog post, lol 😊 That is only partly true, but still, I thought it might be useful and fun and you just might get a little inspiration! I don’t have any affiliation with these products, they’re just the results of my online shopping spree and some others that I either already own or want for myself. Whether you’d like to inspire someone to be healthier or need to buy something for the wellness obsessed person in your life,…

This past week, I’m just going about my day and one of my sons says,

“Mom, can you do that thing where you put the coconut oil in my ear?” (This is how I treat ear infections without antibiotics) I said, “Why, does it hurt? Do you think you have an ear infection?” He said, “No, I just think it feels good.” Me: “Then, Ummm, No.”
