Written by Kelly @ Eyes on the Source, Contributing Writer Recently our family was out on a walk together and we came across a trail littered with beautiful pinecones.

It is not until a pinecone experiences hot/dry/difficult times that it open up to fulfill the greatness it was created for. If a pinecone … [Read more...]

DIY Hormone Balancing Tea
September 22, 2014 By
Written by Karli @ Feed Me Mama, Contributing Writer One of the very first areas of alternative medicine that I adopted into my own life was studying herbs and medicinal teas. Soon after I got married, I worked in a natural cosmetics shop, which introduced me to the benefits of healing and supporting your body with natural ingredients. I was fascinated with the properties of herbs- the way that chamomile tea could put me to sleep, and peppermint could wake me up, but both could help a … [Read more...]
My Three Favorite DIY/Natural Skin Care Products
September 10, 2014 By
Written bu Contributing Writer, Jenn @ A Simple Haven Skin care products and I have a long history. I've always struggled with breakouts and have tried just about every oral or topical product suggested by dermatologists. I'll get patches of dryness brought on by winter weather or said products. And as far as cleansers go, my tendency has been to use scrubs or harsh ones that have probably done more harm than help. I've spent way more time and money than I'd like trying to figure out … [Read more...]

10 Gifts for my Husband
July 24, 2014 By
Our church is going though a marriage series titled, I Still Do" which couldn't be more fitting since we celebrated 10 years of marriage a couple weeks ago and remembered the vows we exchanged. Something I'm continuing to learn is that marriage isn't about making us happy but making us holy. Well, we definitely have had some unholy arguments as well as treasured, happy moments AND I'm so glad that God had a plan when he crossed our paths because HE knew that us together would point us to HIM … [Read more...]
Make Your Own Sea Salt Hair Shaper
July 9, 2014 By
Written by Kari @ Living Strong Health & Wellness, Contributing Writer I live in Colorado, so having wavy hair produced by the saltiness of the ocean is, well, pretty slim.

I’ve seen many different recipes, have tried quite a few, but found … [Read more...]
