Maximal Living

Natural homemade toothpaste! And although not completely free of plastic packaging, it's less than the tubes in which most toothpastes come packaged. :) I'm not currently making this as a product for sale, but thought I'd share this to inspire others who may be interested to make their own! Of course there are lots of recipes on the internet, and I've tried a few, but here's what I've landed on as a keeper with some trial & error under my belt :) Mash/mix together 1/4 cup solid coconut oil, 2 tsp powdered xylitol, 2 Tbsp calcium carbonate powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 40 drops high quality essential oil (like doTERRA) of preferred flavour. Store in a small glass jar, ideally. Brusha brusha!

To uplift the hearts of both people and hungry birds that come across these hanging in the forest!

There's a new dragon in the family!

Just in time for Valentine's Day! Limited supply of 'Heart on a String' heart-shaped, all natural soap now available, made with an infusion of organically grown lavender leaves (from my country garden!) and doTERRA lavender essential oil. Bars are approximately 70g after a month of curing, and are $5 each, no tax. :) I will deliver locally (Almonte/Carleton Place area) and won't be shipping at this time (apologies to those not in this area that would be interested) ... Please email Kerron at [email protected] to reserve yours before they're gone!

Labyrinth still in use under the snow! :) Great daily mindfulness practice

Walk in the woods on our green Christmas day yesterday, lots of water flowing after all that rain! Happy to wake up to a white Boxing Day this morning when we're doing our family Christmas celebrating anyway! Wishing everyone a safe & healthy holiday season!
