From an early age, I KNEW mosquitos liked me. No...they LOVED me! If there was a mosquito within a hundred miles, they'd find me! lol ... Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get my point. One time in my 20's, I had so many mosquito bites that some friends had a contest to count how many I had. I think it was around 180 bites! Needless to say, when I discovered TerraShield, doTERRA's Outdoor Blend, it was a godsend. I invite you to check it out below! If interested in learning more, send me a message!

How I started healing a painful cracked heel almost overnight!

From tea tree to geranium, all these essential oils are helpful for relieving cracked heels and improving their appearance:

Here are two recipes for Cracked Heels:

1. doTERRA BALM FOR HEALING PAINFUL, CRACKED BLEEDING CRACKED HEELS (this is the recipe helped me almost overnight!)

What you need:

Heat over medium low on stove until it melts.Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool down for about 2 minutes then add doTERRA Essential Oils and stir. Pour mixture into jars (sometimes I put them into smaller individual jars and give as gifts!). Put the jars into the refrigerator to set into a balm.To use, smear a liberal amount on your cracked heels. You may cover your feet with a pair of comfortable socks to prevent oil stains.

Snap on the roller ball, screw back on the cap, and shake the bottle gently to combine the oils. Roll onto clean and dry cracked heels. Throw on a pair of comfortable socks.

Since we're in the middle of the ideal fruit and vegetable season, guess we'd better take a look at this years Dirty 12 & Clean 15. To my disappointment, my favorite summer fruits always make the dirty list! Sigh.

In my quest to still rat my favorite fruits, I found a DIY Wash to take pesticides off them. Thought you might like it too!

DIY PESTICIDE WASH AND VEGETABLE CLEANER

In a your sink, a washing basin or large bowl, make a solution of 1 part white vinegar & 3 parts room temperature water, purified or charcoal filtered*. Research has shown that a 3 part water to 1 part vinegar solution is most effective, removing 98% of contaminants.

Place your room temperature fruits and vegetables into the wash. By keeping the solution and vegetables near the same temperature, you reduce the risk of shock to certain soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. Temperature shock can cause pores in the skins to intake more of the dirty water, and thus more of the chemicals you are trying to remove.

Allow fruits and vegetables to soak for ten minutes.

Air dry on a towel or washed couter space. if you would like to give them an extra rinse before eating, be sure to use filtered or purified water.

Enjoy your fruits and vegetables!
