Delicious Butter Bar / Charcoal + Honey

Do Brain Supplements Really Work?

While most pharmaceutical companies disagree, many naturopathic and functional medicine doctors agree that a brain activation supplement, also called a nootropic, has many benefits. Those benefits include improved mood, elevated mental clarity, boosted daily productivity, advanced learning ( especially in children ), enhanced libido, and increased focus! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I think this deserves a hot minute of our attention so let’s dig in!

FABULOUS summer READ

This is that great summer read you are craving...light, funny, just enough to make you think ~ but not think too much😂 It’s summer after all❤️❤️

Waterless Body Butter Bar/Natural Deo/ Wildcrafted Beauty

Why waterless? Well, you kinda gotta feel it to understand, but let me see if I can help: water is free so why is it listed first on ingredient lists which means it is the most abundant ingredient which you are PAYING for!? AND if water is in a product, you will also need preservatives to give the product a shelf life...You don’t need that either!! Don’t you just want pure wild crafted herbs, essential oils and honey? Thought so😬
