Play Dough Recipe...Cream of what???

I have always wanted to make play dough with my daughter. Today we decided to give it a try. First we looked up a number of recipes online, all of which were the same. We went to the cupboard armed with our mixing spoons, bowls, and fully dressed in our trusty baking clothes. A simple list of very few ingredients. This was going to be a cinch! Em Hmmm. Ya… Continue

Let me know what you think. Come on over and add your info so that we can add one another. http://canadiancollective.ning.com/group/blogroll Continue

Achieving a Healthy Optimum Weight Naturally - Trey's Plan is Free, and you'll never diet again!

I'm not promoting a book right now, or asking for grant money, or want to have my name forever immortalized by associating it with a fad diet. I've worked in the industry for more than 15 years and I'm constantly amazed at the misinformation that is continually repeated, particularly in diet and weight. I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of those 'professionals' who are more interested in the health of their own fame or pocketbook, rather than that of those who rely on their knowledge. So… Continue

Alcohol free Medieval Healing Herbal Toner, Splash, and Spritzer - Traditional Herbal Vinegars

One of the most oft used remedies in the ancient and medieval still room books is the herbal vinegar. Considered vital for all forms of beauty and health regimes, this humble concotion has fallen out of favour today, but it is the answer to so many of the pharmactical and chemical varities that have replaced it. I have spent many years researching and experimenting with this marvelous product and with hair down to my knees and the clear, tone skin of a woman half my age, I can attest to it's hea… Continue

The Story of the Five Glass Balls

Some of you have probably heard this story before, especially if you've read the book Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas by James Patterson, but I think it's such a great story that it's well worth a reread! Being a business owner can be very stressful at the best of times and sometimes we just need a little reminder of what life is really about! Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work - Family - Health - Friends - Spirit, and you'r… Continue

Natural Acne Solutions

I spent years fighting some of the most serious acne there is. After 10 years of topical Sodium Benzoate, then oral tetracycline, the dermatologist insisted I take Acutane. Otherwise, the threat went, since it was connected to my hormones, I would have it until I hit menopause. I jumped ship on conventional medicine. I do not believe that they have an effective working paradigm for why acne happens. Acne is a mindset, like dealing with any chronic illness, and a focus on reducing or curing it f… Continue

Skin Disorders and Natural Treatments

Skin disorders, such as eczema, psoriasis, dry, flaky, scaly, red or irritated skin, are often painful, unsightly, and downright frustrating. They are usually more than a simple rash, and can often last for a long time. Eczema for example is an frequently painful skin condition that often looks like a rash, can be dry or scaly, and can last for many y… Continue

Organic Traditional Sea Salt: For Nutrition, Healing, Treatment, and Medieval Re-creation

Celtic Sea salt is a brand name, but can also refer to any salt from the Celtic sea that is harvested in the traditional manner. ************************************************** Our bodies run on salt. Without properly balanced salt we run out of electrolytes and our ‘batteries die out’. Refined table salt, however, promotes pathological calcification and a breakdown of cellular tissue. All side effects, warnings, and bad press are based on medical research that has been done with refined, whi… Continue

The Ins and Outs of Blog Reviews and Giveaways

It's all the rage these days! Blogs doing reviews and giveaways of pretty much any product there is to find. Lately I've been contacted at an average rate of 3 blogs a week. They start out by complimenting you on your product; a little flattery to butter you up, followed by how their blog is a great way to market your product, then they ever so sneakily slip in the big question: would you be interested in sending a product to have reviewed and offer something for a giveaway? For those just star… Continue
