Diffusing Essential Oils #gentlebreezes

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I love diffusing essential oils in my home. Whether it is to purify the air or give a welcoming scent to visitors, my diffuser is going everyday. For this reason, I prefer to have one in every room to maximize the benefits.

Over the last few weeks my kids have had colds, which has included runny noses and coughs. This summer cold is almost over, but they both have a linger cough that seems to get worse in the evening. When I diffuse appropriate oils in their room at night, I notice that the coughing goes away or is significantly less. If you want more info about what oils I recommend diffusing for an evening cough, email me or leave a comment below.

Achieve True Wellness with Organic India

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I had heard of Organic India before but I had never tried their products. Little did I know that their product line was more than just tea! Through Moms Meet, I was able to try a variety of their products.

Organic India strives to deliver true wellness through its 100% organic, pure, and natural products. Their objective also includes working with organic farmers in India, providing them premium prices for their crops, and continuing to promote sustainable agriculture. Their Trademark product is Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea, available in over 20 delicious flavors. I was familiar with their tea, but I had no clue that they had such a wide variety!

My name is Brittney and I am a wife to a PhD student, a mom to a 5 and 6 year old, a blogger, and a substitute teacher! There are are a FEW times throughout my day where I feel a little stressed. That is why I make sure that I carry RESCUE in my purse. I am definitely a better person when I am stress free.

My Kindergartener and 1st Grader are both taking piano lessons and my son is playing baseball. This means I drive them to and from lessons and practices. Also, being a substitute teacher can have its ups and downs. Some days are great but there are some days where I need a little help.

Get an EZC Pak to Help Boost Your Immune System

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

The year of 2015 has not gotten off to a great start in regards to health for my family. It started with my daughter getting a cough around Christmas, which led to my son getting a cough, throw in a couple of colds, the flu, then my husband getting sick, and lastly the bug decided it was my turn! Doesn’t sound fun does it?

Good thing I am into natural remedies, or nature’s medicine, as I like to refer to it. Whenever somebody is sick in my family I immediately turn to my essential oils, homeopathic products, and anything else I can lay my hands on that naturally boost my immune system.

The-EZC-Pak-Story1

I was excited to try a new product that lined up with my natural remedies. EZC Pak is a 5 day tapered immune support pack with vitamin and mineral-added herbal supplements. EZC stands for Echinacea, Zinc, and Vitamin C. You can learn more about these specific ingredients HERE.

Track Your Progress with Soleus GPS Watches

Product was given to me from Soleus in order to post my honest opinion.

so · le · us
/ˈsōlēəs/
The soleus (pronounced SOH-LEE-US) is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It runs from just below the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing, walking and running. If not for its constant pull, the body would fall forward.

Soleus is all about runners! Their line of watches are designed to enhance your experience, whether you’re lacing up for your first run or already a seasoned marathoner. They have a variety of products to choose from, but I am going to focus on their GPS watches.
