Geranium Oil for the Best Bug Repellent

2010-07-12T17:24:00.006-06:00

I don't know about you but putting bug spray on to hound off the mosquitoes is not the most appealing idea. It may keep the bugs away but what is it doing to our health? Even before I was into organic skin care I found the idea of putting strong chemicals on my skin scary.

I heard that Geranium Essential Oil works to warding off those pesky little creatures, so, I thought I would give it a try. I went to a family reunion in Saskatchewan, Canada about a week ago. It has been a very wet spring so the pesky creeters were plentiful. Everyone was spraying on the bug spray so it was a perfect opportunity to try out the Geranium Oil. It worked!! I gave some to my second cousin to try and she was amazed.

I diluted it in some olive oil and we applied a very small amount on our face, arms and legs. It lasted the whole day.

It is always important to dilute essential oils and don't apply them directly to the skin. Use 6-8 drops of your selected essential oil into two teaspoons of your carrier oil.

How Pure Are You?

2010-06-29T09:01:00.003-06:00

How pure are you when it comes to what you put on your face, hair and body?
Go into your bathroom and take a look at the labels on the following products:
toothpaste, mouthwash, body wash, bar soap, hand soap, deodorant, lotion, and body powder.
Do they sound like ingredients from nature or from a lab? You'll have to be savvy because many companies hide artificial ingredients in words that sound like nature, but are actually chemically derived. Also, the word 'natural' allows plant ingredients to be genetically-modified, and grown with the application of toxic chemicals. And if the fragrance smells like no mango or coconut you've ever smelled before, it's probably fake. Then remember that your skin is the body's largest organ, and that it absorbs all the ingredients you rub onto it. Even the fumes can be dangerous.
Now, take a look at these pure ingredients in the same products made gently and respectfully by Miessence: certified organic (co) aloe vera leaf juice, (co) essential oils and extracts, (co) avocado and sunflower seed oils, (co) shea fruit butter, (co) coconut oil, white kaolin clay, sea salt...
Sound different? And the side-effects of using ingredients straight from unspoiled nature soothe, comfort, revitalise, restore, and beautify - naturally!

Organic Lifestyle

2010-06-26T15:29:00.000-06:00

The Organic Lifestyle is challenging at times but so worth it. We are trying to line our bathroom cupboards with the purest products we can find. We can cleanse and moisturize from head to toe whether its sparkling teeth or a body that is naturally protected from odor, germs, and the environment, nothing feels better than Miessence!

Best Organic Hair Care

2010-06-01T08:20:00.000-06:00

Most of the shampoos found on the shelf are chemically derived and can be harmful:
Most Shampoos Contain:
Cocoamide DEA (diethanolamine) can cause nitrosamine contamination, which is a potent carcinogen. Cocoamide DEA is a detergent that causes allergic reactions, including eye problems, dryness of hair and skin, and can be toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time.
Miessence Contains:
Coco Glucoside an extremely gentle, yet effective, cleansing agent made from glucose and coconut fatty acids. Non-toxic, fully biodegradable and mild on the skin.
Most Shampoos Contain:
Propylene Glycol is a petroleum derivative and industrial antifreeze. It's so toxic that the EPA requires workers to wear protective gloves, clothing and goggles. Because PG penetrates the skin so quickly, the EPA warns against skin contact to prevent consequences such as brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities.
Miessence Contains:
Certified Organic Aloe Vera has healing, soothing, antibacterial, and moisturising properties.
Most Shampoos Contain:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is used in car washes and engine degreasers - and in 90% of products that foam. Animals exposed to SLS and ALS experience eye damage, central nervous system depression, laboured breathing, diarrhea, severe skin irritation, and even death. Frequently disguised in semi-natural cosmetics with the explanation "comes from coconut".
Miessence Contains:
Yucca Juice contains natural saponins that gently cleanse and repair damage to cell membranes of the scalp and skin, helping to prevent nutrient loss.
Most Shampoos Contain:
Suttocide (sodium hydroxymethylglycinate) is a formaldehyde releasing preservative used in many 'natural' shampoos. Formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen and is extremely toxic when inhaled or swallowed.
Miessence Contains:
Certified Organic Avocado Oil restores lustre to the hair and hydrates dry and damaged ends.
Most Shampoos Contain:
Fragrances can contain allergens and senstisers, which can trigger asthma attacks. Fragrances also contain chemicals called phthalates, which are hormone disruptors that can affect foetal development and fertility and damage sperm in men.
Miessence Contains:
Certified Organic Horsetail Extract is an effective remedy for psoriasis, dandruff, eczema, and similar skin conditions
Most Shampoos Contain:
Ext. D&C synthetic colours are made from coal tar and are certified safe for drugs and cosmetics, but not for food. Toxic coal tar has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal tests, and many people are allergic to it.
Miessence Contains:
Panthenol is the provitamin of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It improves the moisture-retention capacity of the skin and stimulates skin regeneration. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effects. It makes hair easier to comb, reduces hair splitting, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens the hair, and provides sheen.
Bitter Orange Extract is a natural antibacterial agent that acts as a mild preservative in our hair care products.

Best Face for Mothers and Others!

2010-04-28T21:12:00.000-06:00

From a Miessence News letter that I received recently talking about face care for Mother's Day:

"Mothers feel like queens when remembered on their special day! That’s a day they can look at the “expression lines” on their faces with pride and count each one as a delightful or beloved memory. But what about the other days of the year? We know that aging is on the minds of most people because billions of dollars are spent each year trying to recapture the Fountain of Youth, and concerns about aging are starting younger and younger. Girls in their early twenties are already getting Botox injections to try and erase the “expression lines” between their eyes. Dry, flaky skin that takes longer to heal, age spots, crow’s feet...are all a part of the aging process that modern science has developed elaborate means to disguise, if not eradicate all together. We can help Mother ease the signs of aging by buying her skin products that soothe, soften and revitalise accomplished skin. But which products should we buy?
-

There are perhaps two main schools of thought about which products to use to try and maintain the youthfulness of our skin, and thus our beauty. One uses conventional wisdom such as lab-generated, synthetic chemical ingredients, and the other uses pure botanical ingredients such as plants, flowers and herbs.

-

The problem with synthetic-based ingredients in skin care is that they are often toxic and enter the bloodstream through the skin’s pores. They might feel good, smell good, and appear to bring results, but one must pay the cost of dangerous side effects, including irritation and allergies, free radicals that cause cancer, and degenerative diseases.

Propylene/Butylene Glycol is a petroleum derivative found in stick deodorants, soaps, skin products, and baby wipes, and is commonly used to make extracts from herbs. It may also weaken protein and cellular structure, cause liver and kidney damage, dermatitis, and is strong enough to remove barnacles from boats.

Imidazolidinyl Urea can be found in many personal and skin care products. It releases formaldehyde, a carcinogenic chemical that is toxic by inhalation. It is a strong irritant, and can cause contact dermatitis.

Paraben preservatives (methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl) are used as inhibitors of microbial growth and to extend the shelf life of products. Parabens can be found in make-up, skin care, and personal care products. They are widely used even though they are known to be toxic, have caused numerous allergic reactions and skin rashes.

Traditionally, people used nature to soothe the signs of aging. Oils from animals and plants were rubbed into hair and skin; herbs, flowers, fruit butters, resins, barks, seeds, and nuts were used to heal, soften, revitalise, and perfume skin and hair. Many of today’s synthetic drugs started with a property from nature like salicin from Willow Bark. Growing, nurturing, harvesting, and processing nature into the purest of products without weed, mold, and insect killing toxic chemicals is a labor of love that provides jobs for many people around the world and keeps our planet thriving and beautiful. Miessence is a modern company with tradition ideals. To us absorbing and ingesting chemicals that the FDA only allows in small amounts in skin and personal care products because they know they are harmful doesn’t make sense. No one uses only a small amount of a single product each day. The toxins build up in our bodies. No synthetic chemicals or impurities are ever used in Miessence products. Toxic ingredients are replaced with natural and certified organic ingredients found in nature:Olive Extract, found in Balancing Skin Conditioner, Moisturiser and Translucent Foundations, is a unique anti-oxidant that improves skin elasticity, protects and hydrates the skin, reduces skin damage caused by pollution and UV radiation, and thus protects skin from photo aging. Shea Butter, found in all the Moisturisers, Concealers, Intensive Body Cream, and more, increases local blood circulation in skin, improving the elimination of waste products, improves skin elasticity, is anti-microbial, moisturising, and provides light protection against UV rays of the sun.Tamanu Nut Oil, found in Ambrosia Essence Skin Perfector and Belly & Breast Balm, possesses the unique capacity to improve the appearance of both wounds and healthy skin. It is used widely in the Pacific Islands, and is applied liberally to many skin problems."

Ambrosia Essence Skin Perfector is great stuff. Dealing with Contact Dermatitis is no picnic but with this lovely product there is wonderful relief.

A Great Gift for Mother's Day!!

'Last night, I have put the Ambrosia Essence on my eczema patches. I cannot believe that it has soothed the irritated skin immediately and today, the rash has much improved!!! Absolutely loving the essence and am loving the fact that it's organic and I know that it's safe for my skin!' - Liza O, Hong Kong
'...after telling us about her chemo therapy for cancer, I asked her to place a drop of Ambrosia Essence on her face where she had 3 red and irritated spots. A week later ... she couldn't believe her face didn't show any sign of the terrible sores we saw a week earlier. Such powerful healing properties in a tiny bottle.' - Teal, NSW, Australia
'After only a little more than a month of using the Miessence organics products I can hardly believe the difference in my skin! It looks and feels better, with a clean feeling like... never experienced before. My pores appear smaller, and the Garnet Exfoliant has just about completely gotten rid of the bumps in my skin by opening the clogged pores. Even the cosmetics have a light,clean feeling. Great products!... not an extravagance, they are a necessity!' - Sam WI, USA

I am not a Pickle

2010-04-28T11:06:00.000-06:00

Hey, what? Yeah, I know it has been a few days since I wrote something. I have been busy.

Recently I receive an e-news letter from Miessence about Mother's Day and there was a little side note that I thought interesting...

"There's an old joke that all the chemical preservatives in synthetic skin care products should 'preserve' us as we age.

But we aren't pickles!

If you are of the traditional school of thought that pure products make sense, that aging is inevitable and really a frame of mind, and that aging gracefully is as beautiful as youthful looks and skin, then you'll want to make sure that Mother uses the purest products on the planet: Miessence body, health and home products!"

I can assure you this Mother is going to be using Miessence. I want to live for along time and feel great while doing it!

Why do we wait until we are sick?

2010-04-20T14:52:00.000-06:00

I was pondering today some of the things we are doing for our health. I wished that we would have known about them before and done them to prevent sickness. Why do we wait until we are sick to do things for our health?
What we did today:

We went for a 20 minute walk: saw a smiley dog off his leash. Hubby commented: that the lady was sinning because the dog shouldn't have been off the leash.
Ate a healthy breakfast: Ezekiel Bread toasted, organic boiled eggs, organic grapefruit, juice. Hubby turned nose up at the grapefruit but ate the rest. I ate ate hubby's grapefruit. I am just happy that he is eating breaky now:)
We did 30 minutes of the zappicator and 5 mins of the zapper. Hubby notices that he is feeling better and is having lots of big poops.
Showered with Miessence so we are not putting toxins back in our bodies as we take them out! Hubby is not obeying yet but I am loving the wonderful feeling of the the shower and bath products. The deodorant is heaven!

Take Care of Your Skin for the Best Face

2010-04-15T18:30:00.000-06:00

We were checking out some cosmetics lately that claimed to be natural and good for you. After carefully looking up each ingredient that was listed we discovered that it really wasn't that good for you. One of the ingredients was coconut oil but by the time it was processed it wasn't water soluble anymore. If it is not water soluble it is not good for your skin because it will just sit on your skin and clog your pores.

I was shopping at Super Store today in the Organic Food Isle. Chatting with the lady stocking the shelves I mentioned a little about Miessence and that it is the only skin product that we have found that is USDA and good for the skin. And that most companies have got something in them that is not good for your skin even if they say they are organic or natural. She brushed me off by saying, "Oh, I think they are pretty tough on the what they allow in these organic companies."

She went back to work and I continued on my way.

I thought of all the research that we have done and the pain that my daughter has gone through with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I know that many products that claim to be Natural and Organic are not really. Believe me we have tried quit a few with painful results. We are very careful with our research.

Best Face Care

2010-04-12T16:29:00.000-06:00

I was thinking...

Are we more concerned with how we look then with our health?

Sometimes it seems like we are. We spend more time, thought & money on having the best face and cosmetics then our inner physical health.

Our skin absorbs things into our bodies and while it can filter toxins out of our bodies too, it is better to not overload it with more chemicals and toxins then necessary.

We can control some of this by what we put on our bodies. So let's do it.

Miessence

For the BEST FACE Know That....

2010-04-12T11:16:00.000-06:00

Most Hair Care, Skin Care & Body Care Products & Cosmetics:

that are sold in stores may not be safe

may not be making you sick now but may affect your health in the future.

that don't have an ingredients list will affect your decisions for your own health

are not totally protected by government laws

are a big money making business and this takes first place over your safe and health

are not protecting our earth and environment.

You absorb chemicals and toxins through your skin and lungs. If you put too much stress on your body to combat this it will effect your health evidently if it hasn't already.

Miessence is so pure that you can eat it although it is not recommended but that gives me a sense of security when I use it on my body.

I know that:

I am not putting chemicals, toxins or pesticides on my skin or scalp.

I am not breathing in toxins or chemicals when I am in the hot shower

I know everything that is in each product

Each product has been approved by the USDA and is certified Organic

Miessence will not ruin my health

Miessence will not harm the environment

Best Face for the Bathroom

2010-04-10T10:29:00.000-06:00

Organic Bathroom health for cleaning & cleansing doesn't have to be expensive:

Baking soda and Vinegar:

Have Vinegar in a spray bottle/ Spray down the shower or tub then pour baking soda on a cloth or spounge and scrub for a beautiful clean shiny look

Hydrogen Peroxide:

is a really good desinfectant and cleaner for the sink and toilet

Also keep tooth brush soaking in it to keep it sanitized

use for brushing your teeth to whiten them

Steam Cleaning:

You can purchase steam cleaners for the floor and cleaning other parts of the bathroom. It works great and santitises too. No cleaners are necessary.

Shower Curtain:

We don't use a plastic curtain liners because they give off toxins as the steam from the shower hit them. Instead we just use the cloth part & throw it in the wash once in awhile.

Showering with Organic skin, hair and body products.

The Best Way to Face Organic Cleaning

2010-04-10T09:45:00.000-06:00

Organic Cleaning:

Not only better for the environment but for your health as well!!

I thought I was doing well with this but after having our adult daughter return home with major health concerns, one being Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, I found out that I was not.

I was using shampoos, skin care, body care and household products with a lot chemicals.

Over the past 2 years I have changed a lot of what I do and am continuing to learn more.

At first I was doing it for her because she was so allergic to all chemicals, toxins and pesticides.

But I began to think about my own health. Although, I am not as bad as she is I have been battling fibromyalgia for years. I am a lot better then I used to be but still have issues with it. A lot of it is due to toxins. I have had my mercy removed from my teeth and have done many detoxing treatments but still...

I need to do this for my health and for my husband's health too. I think a lot of the symptoms that we have could be due to chemical sensitivities.

Some of things that I have been doing:

Using Hydrogen Peroxide for disinfecting and cleaning

Natural Laundry Soap: Fragrance-free and Dye-free

Vinegar in each load of laundry as an anti-bacterial agent & softener

Cleaning with vinegar & Baking Soda or microfiber clothes

Cleaning the floors with microfiber mop & steam cleaner without cleaners.

Vacuuming with a Dyson

Biodegradable Dish washing Concentrate from Miessence

I am starting to feel much better too & I like feeling good that I am doing something really good for the environment!!

When we change our environment then we are changing the earth's environment too!!

The Best Face is a Chemical-Free Face

2010-04-10T09:34:00.000-06:00

We are learning so much about health and beauty. Health is beauty and beauty is health.
The Contents of the booklet Dangerous Beauty:

YOUR SKIN, CHEMICALS & HEALTH EFFECTS
TOXIC INGREDIENTS
SO WHAT'S IN THE PRODUCTS
LABELLING & REGULATION
THE BENEFITS OF ORGANIC & BIO DYNAMIC PRODUCTS

Wow, a lot packed into a little booklet!!

I am so excited about going greener and healthier in my lifestyle. I want to live a long and healthy life; hey, it doesn't hurt to look better too!!!

The Best Face is an Organic Face

2010-04-10T09:24:00.000-06:00

A quote from Dangerous Beauty:

"Simplifying your lifestyle can bring a better quality of life. Consuming fewer personal care products is one of the easist ways (and the most economical) to reduce your exposure to chemicals. If you must buy certain products, after reading this booket you will at least be able to choose those with lesser or neligible toxicty. And, once you know the facts there are others that you will choose not to use at all." by Dr Peter Dingle 2006

For the Best Face...Detox

2010-04-09T07:54:00.000-06:00

If anyone tells me again that they went on a 12 day detox and are all cleaned out now... I think I am going scream!!!

After our 2 year journey to health we are still detoxing things out of the body. I guess for a healthy person a 12 day detox may be OK. But really, I don't think so especially considering all the things we put into and onto our bodies.

Things we have done to detox parasites, toxins and viruses:

Yuccan

Para Free by Organika

Homeopathic formulas designed specifically for us

Infrared Sauna

Aerobic Oxygen

aluminum-free baking soda

And much more

Eating & Drinking Habits that have helped:

Avoid all pork and pork products

Avoiding all shell fish and sushi

Eating Organically as much as possible

Washing produce in Hydrogen Peroxide

1 to 2 cups of strong coffee preferably made with the french press

While all these things have helped they have not conquered the problem yet. The latest thing we are trying right now is the Zapper. And it is really working much better then anything else we have tried for detoxing parasites, toxins and viruses. It is safer, gentler and easier and much more cost effective.

Visit my friend Arthur at Best Zapper to find out more.

And of course using Miessence Skin, Hair and Body Care products is our way of controlling toxins from getting back into our bodies. You can't control everything but what you put directly on your body you can.

The Best Face is a Healthy Face

2010-04-08T08:54:00.000-06:00

I wouldn't describe myself as ill but I have not felt well for years.

I have not had any major operations except for one for my bladder & one on my eye when I was 4.

I don't take any medications anymore

I have always had healthy eating habits

But I still have had problems

Digestion problems

Muscle and joint pain

Fatigue

Bladder pain

Head aches

And just generally not feeling well most of the time. Things are getting a lot better in all of these areas but there is still a ways to go.

I am now looking at what I put on my body and not just what I put in my body.

Things we have changed:

We changed our laundry soap to a more natural fragrance-free & Dye Free one.

We don't use dry sheets .

We put vinegar in the rinse cycle of the washer as an anti-bacterial agent as well as soften the clothes

We have dryer balls to break up the static in the dryer(most of the time the vinegar in the washer works so we don't have to use them)

For years I have used olive oil on my skin instead of commercial lotions

And a drop of olive oil in my shampoo once in awhile helps with the fuzziness

We use fragrance free, Dye free shampoo, bar soap, body lotion and shaving gels

We stopped using perfumes and after shave colognes

We stopped using the dishwasher because of the strong detergents

We wash dishes by hand using fragrance-free & dye free soap

We eat organically whenever we can

We eat hormone-free/antibiotic-free chicken and turkey (mostly)

We eat vegetation meals a lot

We eat raw vegetables and fruit every day

We take high quality supplements

But still there is this lack of energy and still have some of the symptoms although not as intense as they use to be.

I am going a step further and replacing all our body care products with Miessence skin and body care because although some of these products that I have been using are better they are not the best.

Miessence is so pure that you could eat it.

And it has finally dawned on me that feeding my skin is just as important as feeding my body!!!

My Days Most of the Time

2010-04-07T08:22:00.000-06:00

This Youtube Video sums up most of my days. I do a lot of things but never feel like I get anywhere but I guess I must.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P785j15Tzk

Yesterday my husband wanted to go for a walk at 8:00 at a park across town.

He had errands to do after that.

I said OK then I will meet you there then I can go out for coffee and read my Bible at Starbucks because... I need to get out more.

But by the time I left it was almost 8:00

I kept getting sidetracked with this and that

I couldn't find my purse because someone put it in my art studio because my cell phone was making that annoying beeping while dying.

So we agreed to meet at 9:00

I decided not to bother with a shower until I got back which was just fine because now that I am using Miessence deodorant after my nightly shower I am not smelly; Yeah!!!

So the walk went fine.

I got home at about 10:00.

I did a few things then I thought I should have a shower but....

I did a just a few more things...

Had something to eat...

Then I put laundry on in order have something to wear when I had to go to the bank with hubby... so might as well wait for the shower.

Made Coffee

Oh, I had to answer an email...

Looked up something on the Internet...

Oh well I guess I don't have time for a shower before our 3:00 appointment.

I didn't have time for a shower until just before bed which I usually do anyways.

I had no underarm Body Odor!!!

I have tried using natural deodorants for 2 years. Ever since our Holistic Doctor suggested that the regular antiperspirants may be one of the main causes of Breast Cancer. Nothing worked really unless we put Colloidal Silver on first.

But now I am so excited that...

Aroma Free Roll on Deodorant

really works!!!

And I am so happy that it is not going to ruin my health!!!

You Should Have Seen My Face

2010-04-06T20:55:00.000-06:00

My daughter (25) phoned me up on April 1st. She said hi and some little pleasantries; you know chit chatty stuff. She had just returned from a trip to Toronto.

Then she began, "Hey, Mom, I have to tell you something."

I thought, Oh Oh what now. She has that thing in her voice that saysI have something special to share with my mom but I am wondering how she is going to take it.

"What?" I said.

"I meet this neat guy on the plane. He is really nice and we hit it off. He lives in Calgary and he knows my pastor. We exchanged numbers and we are going to get together for coffee. He has red hair and is a farmer. (well, there is where I should have gotten a clue because when she was little she wanted to married a red-headed farmer and if anymore came around that wasn't she was going to kick him)

"Oh?" I said, "Really, well that is interesting"

"Yeah....APRIL FOOLS!!"

"Oh, you so got me!!"

After peals of laughter I emailed her brother.

Your sister has a boyfriend ask her about it:)

Hair Repair for the Best the Organic Way

2010-04-06T17:38:00.000-06:00

We were just thinking that some of that are happening with our hair must be due to using Miessence Shampoo. After a really bad hair experience at local hair salon it was Miessence Lemon Myrtle Shampoo and Protect Hair Repair that saved the day. My daughter's hair was completely ruined after a botched hair cut and color. I really want to tell which hair salon and what they did but I won't. Just let me say that after this experience if she hadn't use the shampoo half her hair would have fallen out.

The Greatest Lips for the Best Face

2010-04-05T08:23:00.000-06:00

My daughter has had chapped and soar lips for years. They have gotten worse lately so, she is trying Jappa Lip Balm from Miessence. After just a few days her lips are so much better. And best of all it is so organic and natural that she could eat it. After reading Dangerous beauty and what they put in most beauty products this feels really good in more ways that you can imagine.

Our health is so important because without it how can we achieve what we are meant to achieve?

How can we do anything?

I think when we don't see any signs of ill health we don't think too much about little things like Lip Balm but it really is a big thing. If someone presents a glass of juice or a glass of poison to us and said choose, I think we all know which one we would choose. Yet with our Cosmetics and Personal Care items we don't really think about it.
We are too trusting that it will be OK when in fact it is not.

FRANKINENSE for the BEST FACE THE ORGANIC WAY

2010-04-03T18:40:00.000-06:00

We are getting there with our journey towards the best face the organic way.
My daughter just had a lovely organic shower with Miessence skin and hair care products. She found that putting the Frankincense Essential Oil in Massage Oil and rubbed over her body made her skin feel so much better. She didn't towel dry her body but left it wet before putting the oils on.

Frankincense is an ancient beauty and health treatment.

Other things she is noticing from using the Frankincense:

1. She is sweating out toxins more
2. Gives her a calming affect
3. Reliefs her uterus pain

How nice to have a natural organic product for some of these health challenges.

Health is Beauty & Beauty is Health!!

Healthy Beauty

2010-04-03T17:28:00.000-06:00

I have been reading a book called

"Dangerous Beauty"

and thinking about how to have the best face the organic way.
I know there are many chemicals and toxins in our environment and we can not possibly avoid all of them, however, we do have a choice what we put on our skin.

As quoted in the book;

"The power to make healthier

and

safer choices is in our hands."

I can't believe that I missed it. I have been trying get toxins out of my body for years. I knew they were related to some of my health issues.

Some of the things that I have done are:

1. Infrared Sauna

2. Had the mercy fillings removed from my molars.

3. Herbal detoxes

4. Parasite cleanses

But I have not been too careful what I put on my skin. That is changing as I start using organic skin and hair care.

Change happens one step at a time.

For the BEST HAIR the ORGANIC Way

2010-04-03T15:08:00.000-06:00

We are so amazed at what chemicals from hair and skin products can do to your health!!

While working on our health issues we have learned a lot about what is good for the face, hair and body as well as your inner health which greatly affects your outward beauty.

Health issues that are not necessarily life threatening can be affected by the chemicals and toxins in beauty products; things like: Asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, Multiply Chemical Sensitivity or Contact Dermatitis.
For BEST HAIR the ORGANIC WAY we have been using
Miessence Hair Care

Also another really good tip:

for damaged and oil hair

rince the hair with Organic Apple Cider Vinegar!!

As the body is slowly poisoned with chemicals & toxins could this possible lead to Cancer? As I think of some of my friends that have passed away from Cancer I find it interesting that they also had allergies to fragrance & chemicals. Could it be that the chemical poisoning contributed to their Cancer?

Organic Bath Care

2010-04-01T13:06:00.000-06:00

We have been gradually changing our bath and skin care over to organic products for the best face the organic way.

A few years ago we started eliminating products with fragrances because our daughter was showing signs of allergic reactions to them even when we used them and she didn't.

It was hard to find shampoos, shaving gels, bar soaps and cleaning products but we finally did and it helped to ease her pain.

Since then, however, we have found out that most of those products, though are better for us, are still not safe for our health. They still have chemicals in them that are dangerous to our health.

Our skin is our biggest organic and can absorb chemicals and toxins that are harmful to our health.

We realized that everyone that has health challenges or just cares about their health should be conscience about what they put on their body.

Myrrh Tea for Thyroid

2010-03-31T08:31:00.000-06:00

Hey we had some Myrrh Tea last night for the first time. We heard that it was good for the thyroid. And, HONEY, we need some help with our Thyroids.

We are experiencing some of the SYMPTOMS of low thyroid and I am going through menopause, so apparently that can be part of it... oh JOY!!!

Low energy...yap, definitely have that one

Easy weight gain and hard to get it off... oh yeah, and I used to be so slim. I long to be a size 8 again.

Cold all the time... sometimes some of us are but with menopause I am not so much

Dry & Course skin... yes a little

Hair loss... nope... thank goodness!!

Insomnia... some yes

Constipation... not so much anymore but did have

Depression... yes, sometimes and at unexpected times

Poor memory, forgetfulness, dementia...yes definitely, but I hope not the ladder.

Nervousness...yes and for no reason

Immune system challenges... some yes

Heavy period...well some of us but not me thank God I am over that

So we are trying Myrrh for our Thyroid.

We rubbed a couple of drops of the Myrrh Essential Oil at the base of our throats right wear the throat goes into the chest cavity; apparently that is were your Thyroid is.

....Oh and back to the Tea:

1 drop of Myrrh Essential Oil

1 teaspoon of Organic Honey

4 ounces of warm water

Yum!!!!

We really enjoyed it & found it very calming. It would be a good thing to drink before going to bed; lovely!! Somehow we felt like we were exotic princesses like Queen Esther from the Bible. Apparently she bathed in the stuff.

We are going to try and do this every day.

Myrrh for Your Best Face

2010-03-31T08:10:00.000-06:00

Wow, I never thought I would be using Myrrh. As a child I remember hearing that the wise men brought baby Jesus Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. I did not give much thought then or that it would be something good for me.

Frankincense Has a Calming Effect

2010-03-30T08:38:00.000-06:00

As we age, my husband and I are realizing that we need to sleep better in order to put our best face forward. Bags under the eyes and blood-shot eyes are not really the best face to be portraying to the public. Frankincense is a beautiful way to relax before bed! I am really enjoying putting it on after my shower just before I crawl between those sheets. Then rolling over and massaging a little into my husband's neck and chest. We fall right to sleep and wake up much more refreshed. Soon we hope to be sleeping like babies every night!!

Recipe for "A Calming Rest"

10-20 drops of Frankincense

30 mls or 2 Tablespoons of Massage Oil or Olive Oil or Grape Seed Oil

Mix together and use for the full body or keep in a dark glass container for whenever you need it.

Note: For all essential oils massages should be mix at half strength for elderly, children and pregnant women.
And only 2-4 drops in 20 mls (2 teaspoons) of oil for babies.

Frankincense and Myrrh

2010-03-29T16:50:00.000-06:00

We all remember Frankincense and Myrrh from the story of Baby Jesus at Christmas time. The wise men brought him Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Lately we have been trying both Frankincense and Myrrh for a healthy best face. We are very surprised to find out that they both have so many more healing properties.

Benefits of Frankincense and Myrhh:

1. Natural treatment for the skin and can sometimes heal scares

2. Strengthens the immune system

3. Fights viruses and bacteria

4. Relaxes the body

5. Gives pain relief for aching muscles or headaches

For Your BEST FACE use Organic SHAMPOO

2010-03-26T09:32:00.000-06:00

Many conventional shampoos, conditioners and hair style products put a ton of chemicals and fillers in their products. This can not only damage your hair and possibly your health as well.

If you try the Miessence Shampoos you will probably experience a detox with your hair for a few weeks especially if you have been using hair products that contain silicone derivatives. During this detox period your hair may feel dryer and knottier than usual. But don't worry it will improve. And it will be really soft and healthy.

Healthy Under Arms Might Save Your Life

2010-03-26T08:53:00.000-06:00

Why do I put this posting on a blog about best face health?

Have you ever look into the face of a friend or loved one who has just found out that they have breast cancer?

A couple of years ago we went to see a Homeopathic Doctor. We learned a lot that day about our individual health and what was going on in our bodies.

In his opinion under arm antiperspirant could be the cause of breast cancer. I guess because it clogs the pours near your lymph glands and of course puts chemicals into your body which are harmful to your health.

Since then we have tried many natural deodorants but with little results. There were a few that worked a little bit and if we put a little Colloidal Silver on first, let it dry then applied the deodorant it worked better but that was a bit inconvenient.

Lately we have been using

Miessence Aroma Free Deodorant

and it actually works!

Alleluia for our health and beauty!!

And Oh Happy Day for the people around us!!

I am not making any claims here but it seems like good common sense to me.

Why Organic?

2010-03-26T08:22:00.000-06:00

Why do we need to use organic products and eat organic foods?
That is a good question and for years I have been interested in organic health products and eating organically but not really knowing or understanding why it is so important. Mainly it is important because the chemicals and pesticides used on our food supply and products we use are so toxic and may not affect our health now but in the future it is certain to.
But wait there is more...

What is Certified Organic Products?

2010-03-26T07:47:00.000-06:00

Up until a few years ago I did not think about what I put on my skin or on my hair or what cleaning and laundry products I used. I do now and am much more informed. When a product says natural or even organic it isn't exactly true.
