Seeking a more natural lifestyle

Hey you.

Glad you stopped in. Let’s chat-(virtually) over a cup of java😉

I’m Beth and I live up in the hills of Central New York with my husband and 4 kids-mother in law included. Our piece of heaven is a 2 acre homestead with an old farmhouse, chickens, berry bushes, sugar maples and ever growing garden.

Our why...
As a registered nurse who has worked in the medical field for over 20 years, I have seen the other side of a chemical filled lifestyle and to be completely honest-it ain’t pretty.

Unfortunately, our lives are fundamentally different than that of 50 years ago. Since world war 2; over 80 thousand chemicals have been created that did not previously exist in nature. Chemicals exist in every aspect of our lives-our foods, our homes and our communities.

From genetically modified foods to toxic warning labels on our everyday personal care and household products to an increasing number of pesticides and chemicals in our gardens and yards.

We are surrounded by chemicals that pose some very serious health threats. Some may be as subtle as lack of energy or as catastrophic as the “C” diagnoses no one wants to hear-but most of us has been impacted by that fearful diagnoses-some way, some how.

I was intrigued to learn that per the American Cancer Society-less than 25% off diagnoses are related to our genes or in our DNA and that means the majority of those diagnoses are related to our lifestyle and chemical exposure.

Close to home...
Considering I lost half my immediate family when I was just 21 to that catastrophic diagnoses-I wanted To research and implement more natural lifestyle (back to our roots) to ensure my family stays above the wellness line.

My mom, bless her heart didn’t always make the best lifestyle choices-however my brother did but worked in an environment surrounded by toxin filled chemicals.

My purpose...
I am on a mission to learn, live and share a better way.

Through simple lifestyle changes we can be the gatekeeper to our homes, our own advocates for our health and wellness while pursuing our desired dream life -to be more self sustaining and self reliable.

Join us on our journey as we focus on living a more natural, holistic lifestyle while building on our homestead and incorporating nature’s pure energy (essential oils) to truly enjoy our life, chemical free.

Peace, harmony & essential oils,
Beth ❤️

Essential oil basics

H Using  Essential   Oils  101 Hey now, its time to discover the Wonderful World of Young Living   essential   oils ! I get lots of questions on HOW to use and incorporate  essential   oils  into d aily life.   More and more people are preferring to use more natural products with the growing popularity of relaxation therapies and an increasing awareness of the potential harm-toxins and chemicals can have in our life.       Ever smell a certain sent and a memory of the past pops up? Our olfactory system or sense of smell is one of our most primal senses. When we breath in an   essential  oil , it passes through our nasal passages through our olfactory bulb to the limbic system of the brain. This is the part of our brain that holds are memory and emotions.  75% of American homes use synthetic air fresheners that contain numerous amounts of chemical ag...

Shout out to my fellow Nurses!!

Image
Being a nurse has its ups and downs, good days and bad and some days....even questioning my career choice. After 25 years in the nursing profession-some days are still exhausting while others exhilarating yet...nursing is in my heart. Not everyone can be a nurse... A nurse has certain qualities like compassion, empathy.... a nurse needs to be detail oriented and decisive with a dash of a warped sense of humor that gets us through the day. We are a special breed. We can go hours without a break (often times-a whole shift), take a beating physically & emotionally, and literally can shoot daggers from our eyes when a co-worker says the Q word. We have hectic schedules, deal with code blues & code browns, loosing favorite patients, work holidays and weekends and contemplate calling in every full moon. Sometimes we come home and feel on top of the world- because we helped save a life (or at-least not take one) or know we have made a difference in someone-else's world. ...

What side of the bed do you wake up on?

As they days seem shorter, feel colder and nature shows us hibernation mode it can often be difficult to get out of that warm, comfy bed. As much as I would like to hit the snooze button-ten more times, I have obligations to fill and places to go. It always seems a little more challenging during the winter months to get moving. You know that old saying that indicates one got our of the wrong side of the bed? It can happen to any one of us-any morning, right? I have learned that if I want to have a great day-I need to focus on having a great start to my day. In other words I am in charge of my own attitude-no one else can take that responsibility. I own it. So I have introduced some techniques into my daily “waking” process that seem to work well In ensuring I start my day off-getting our of the right side of the bed! When I am just awaking and the sand has not yet left my eyes, i take a few deep cleansing breaths as to alert the rest of my body that “it’s time” and give my...
