Glue stick trick! ▪ Am I the only one that didn't know about the glue stick, eyebrow trick??? It is seriously the best idea EVER!! Especially for blonde people with bad eyebrows! 🤣 ▪ I used a glue stick on my brows today, and they look quite grand, imo! 😉 ▪ Since I am pretty careful about what I use on my skin most of the time, I bought the Pritt glue sticks that just contain sugar, potato starch, and water! I also confirmed these ingredients via email ➡️ SWIPE! ▪ #nofilter #naturallight #washesawaymywrinkles🤗 ▪ #gluedeyebrows #diybrows #browsonpoint #gluestick #Pritt #savvylipstick #itgirl #savvyblush #smashing #savvyminerals @savvymineralsbyyl #younglivingmakeup #yleo #tartemascara #lightscamerasplashes @tartecosmetics #toxinfreemakeup #toxinfreefamily #glutenfree #blonde #momof5 #mom #naturalmom
Sometimes when my youngest is sleeping, I look through old photos...that's normal, right?!

There's kombucha in that cup! @kevitadrinks ▪ That day when your toddler ate for breakfast coconut milk #yogurt, a hard boiled #egg, a #homemade #paleo carrot muffin, a #banana, and #kombucha! ▪ #heisfull #fermentedfoods #probiotics #livebactetia #feedthegut #guthealth #healthytoddler #toxinfreefamily #organic #glutenfree #dairyfree #dietitian #dietitianmom #holisticdietitian #midwestmom #naturalmom #oplt #ourpathlesstraveled
MYRRH ESSENTIAL OIL SPOTLIGHT! ▪ Maybe when you think of Myrrh, you think of the Biblical story of Christ's birth. There you will read about the gifts brought to Mary by the 3 wise men, one of which included Myrrh. ▪ Myrrh truly is gift-worthy, providing a multitude of health benefits. Most notably, its moisturizing and cleansing properties are often desired and implemented in high-end skin care lines. Myrrh's aroma is also calming; sometimes it is used in meditation practices. ▪ Acquired by steam distillation, Myrrh comes from the red-brown resin of trees in the genus Commiphora. ▪ To use, appropriately add to your skin care products and soaps, or diffuse! ▪ #myrrh #youngliving #yleo #younglivingessentialoils #skincare #skinisin #glowon #allthesmells #comeoilwithme #oplt #ourpathlesstraveled
The BORN ALIVE Abortion Survivors Act failed yesterday. 😢 I weep for our culture and what it is becoming for my children. To NOT protect an infant BORN ALIVE after a failed abortion may be the most callous of crimes committed by those physicians who swore to provide medical care with compassion and human dignity. ▪ In American history, leaving these babies to die is not unheard of. Look up #jillstanek on Google. #barbarism ▪ "You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know." ▪ #savethebabies #saveDownsyndrome #babieshaverights #knowyourlegislators #motherforlife #bornalive #oplt #ourpathlesstraveled
I'm not the only one that eats sauerkraut straight from the package...RIGHT?! 🤣 ▪ PROBIOTICS, guys! You need them! ▪ Fermented foods, like sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), are especially loaded with beneficial probiotics which are important to maintain a healthy gut system. A diet rich in probiotics... ▪ balances good gut bacteria, ▪ can prevent and/or treat diarrhea, ▪ can improve mental health, ▪ can improve eczema and skin conditions, ▪ can improve digestive disorders, and ▪ boost your immune system! ▪ Fermented sauerkraut also has a higher concentrate of vitamin C, which is highly anti-inflammatory! ▪ Additionally, fermented foods contain MORE beneficial bacteria than most probiotic supplements! ▪ Get some [fermented foods]! @clekraut ▪ #fermentedfoods #probiotics #sauerkraut #rawfood #clevelandkraut #feedthegut #guthealth #realfood #naturalfood #wholefood #holisticdietitian #dietitian #organicfood #glutenfree #dairyfree #oplt #ourpathlesstraveled
I just finished cleaning my #makeupbrushes with Thieves Cleaner! ▪ To do: ▪ Fill a large cup with about 15 oz. of water. Add half a cap full of Thieves Cleaner to your cup. Soak brushes in the cup for about 30 minutes, or as desired. Rinse! ▪ Toxin free cleaning for everythang! ▪ #thievescleaner #youngliving #younglivingessentialoils #makeuphack #makeupbrushcleaner #toxinfree #toxinfreefamily #toxinfreecleaner #makeup #allthesmells #comeoilwithme #oplt #ourpathlesstraveled
It's Wednesday's Essential Oil Spotlight on THURSDAY! ▪ Oops! ▪ Maybe I'm the only one, but the past 2 1/2 FRIGID snow days this week AND the ones we had LAST week, were literally killing me! I HATE winter, and to top it off, it is really HARD to get FIVE kids ages 1 to 13 on board with similar indoor activities at HOME! #ihatevideogames You homeschool people ROCK! ▪ I'm STRESSED, however! 🤣😉 ▪ Meet Stress Away! ▪ Like a vacation in a bottle, Stress Away eases emotions of tension and promotes a relaxed and calm environment. ▪ Stress Away is formulated with lime, vanilla, copaiba, lavender, and Cedarwood. Dilute appropriately, diffuse, or inhale from the bottle.
