When jumping into starting to DIY your own skincare products, it may seem overwhelming when there are a bunch of ingredients you’re unfamiliar with, and you don’t know where to get them. Over the past year that I’ve started doing this, I have my go-tos for most ingredients and where to get them. So here […]
Microbeads have been a hot topic in the press lately – and for happy reasons. There have been talks of banning microbeads in the US, and the Canadian government announced in August 2015 that they would also be moving towards a ban. Woohoo!! So what does this really mean? In case you’re not familiar with […]
I really do like DIY-ing my own beauty products now, because I can totally customize them AND it’s waaaaaay more frugal than buying. Not to say that I don’t enjoy pampering myself now and then with bought beauty products (my favourite face scrub is Young Living’s Satin Facial Scrub, and I do love when people […]
Ah, deodorant. One of those very personal things that most people trying to go toxin-free struggle with – because nothing works like the chemically-laden antiperspirants out there. The goal of a deodorant isn’t to stop you from sweating, but rather to nullify the smell. I have tried Purely Great Natural Deodorant, which is one of […]
I love creams and lotions, and now that I’ve started making my own (my first love being the Dry Skin Relief Cream), I’m having a blast experimenting with different ingredients.

I knew I wanted to make fun little gifts with my daughter to give to her classmates for Christmas (kind of like the DIY purifying sprays […]
Well, I’m really excited about this. My very first little eBook about a topic I love – going toxin-free in the home! I decided to put this together because people are always asking me about how you go about detoxing your home – and I have many posts about different areas of the home. So I […]
I was at the newly remodeled Rocky Mountain Soap Company store at Southgate Centre not so long ago – and was excited to hear at the time that the plan was to redo ALL of the stores to follow the same toxin-free specifications. The plan is coming to fruition, and I was able to check […]
What child doesn’t like to get their face painted at a fair, farmers market, or party? Halloween is another perfect occasion for face painting. But conventional face paints are full of nasty toxins that are hazardous to our health, especially our more vulnerable young children. Don’t worry – there ARE toxin free face paints out […]
Since I’ve started DIY-ing more of my own personal care products, like my face care, hair care and dry skin relief cream, I figured lip balm should be next on my list to try to make on my own! A lot of lip balm recipes are a combination of coconut oil and shea butter. Many […]
