Refining My Bread Baking Heritage By Stephanie Kuvik Tallent I remember one special day when I was eight as if it was yesterday. My siblings and I gathered in the kitchen as Mom taught us about wheat. As homeschoolers, we learned a lot about nutrition and health because Mom routinely researched this passion of hers. That particular wheat day, Mom explained to us the difference [...]

by Nancy Webster Essential Oils Heal the Body and Sooth the Mind Our doctor was mystified twice over. First because he identified the painful rash on my ten-year-old daughter’s chest and neck as shingles—something only old folks are supposed to get. And second, the usually tenacious condition was already going away! “Whatever you’ve been putting on her, keep it up,” he ordered. I’d been slathering my daughter with [...]

by Summer Moeller OK, I admit it! I am a skeptic when it comes to “natural” medicine and remedies. I grew up going to doctors when I was sick, taking all kinds of antibiotics and over-the-counter drugs, and generally avoiding herbal remedies and other natural cures. Then my mother began to have health problems and was prescribed many different drugs with side effects. Later, I lived overseas, and my [...]

by Maranatha Owens I have a good friend who has five kids, the youngest of which is still a baby. One day I left a small sample of Miracle Salve balanced precariously on her doorknob since nobody answered when I knocked. (It didn’t have it's name at that time and was simply known as propolis salve.) I had pretty much forgotten all [...]

By Arielle Hebert Some years ago, a friend gave me a bar of her own goat milk soap. Prior to using this soap, I often battled extremely dry, cracked hands. After faithfully using my friend’s goat milk soap, I was amazed at its effectiveness. My hands no longer dried out and cracked! My skin became soft and moist. I was [...]

By Maranatha Owens I can remember many times as a little girl being laid up in bed feeling horrible.  You know the routine—aching body, stuffed-up nose, so congested I could barely breathe, let alone sleep.  Then, in would come my mama with soothing words, a hot water bottle, and the relief that only Mentholatum® or Vicks® Vaporub® could bring.  She would slather it on my chest, throat, [...]

by L. Robbins Until a few months ago, I had never heard of bath salts. Then, I began using Beeyoutiful’s Eucalyptus Bath Salts. It was wonderful to soak for 20 to 30 minutes in my tub and come out with hydrated, silky soft skin! Plus, I was relaxed, and my body aches were gone so I could [...]

by Nancy Webster I always assumed I'd have a baby girl first. It seemed the natural thing because I didn't have much background in boys. My only sibling was a sister. I went to an all-girls' high school, and all of my dolls were female (never had a Ken). But as standard baby-having procedure dictates, I didn't get to choose. My first two were boys—all boys, I might add. [...]

By Summer Moeller With the prices of gas continuing to rise, oil is a frequent topic in the news. It turns out it's also a part of most Americans' beauty routine. What? You don't think it's part of yours? A 42-gallon barrel of oil makes about 19.4 gallons of gas; the rest is used to manufacture over 6,000 household products. You probably wouldn't be surprised to know it's used [...]

Dry skin is a common problem all over the United States throughout the year, especially in the winter months. Where I live, there is little to no humidity and dry skin is prevalent. That is why it is very important that I have something that will soothe and heal my dry skin. I began my quest for a product that would do just that. The “lotions” that [...]
