Aromatherapy is a great tool to manage stress and emotional moments in our lives. Scents are powerful triggers. A fragrance can soothe you and in other cases have the effect of making you anxious and upset. 

We all grew up knowing the three R’s : Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. In light of  recent news that a climate scientist has come to the conclusion the climate may have already passed the point of no return. It is time to move beyond just Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to add a few more R’s.  Refuse, Remake/Repair and Restore.

Try to find products that multi-task. Pure Shea butter is a real workhorse. It can replace petroleum jelly but better! It’s good at fighting dryness in difficult areas like knees, elbows and feet. It is an amazing hand moisturiser! After doing dishes, rub some on to keep hands soft. At night, a thin layer on your freshly cleansed  face before bed, will give you deeply moisturised skin the next morning, without annoying your pores. It can replace lip balm and leave-in conditioner. One product can replace six!
