Many people would describe themselves as a “go-getter”, and would agree that such an individual is someone who strives for accomplishment and success – it is a person who always takes action.

It has become common knowledge that doing a cleanse during the transition from winter to spring is more efficient and offers more results than other times because our bodies are naturally wired to store excess metabolites during the winter and flush them out during the spring. We’ve been in somewhat of a “hibernation mode” over the colder months- […]

Finally – my perfect coffee substitute!

Why natural perfume? It’s simple – because synthetic perfumes cause allergic reactions in many, many people. Some might say, “ahhh, what’s a little sneeze and cough here or there?”, but it’s important to understand the problems that can occur if you are in an allergic state on a continual basis. When an allergic reaction occurs, the immune system upregulates, which means it kicks into high gear. The consequence of this […]

Autumn is a time of spices and bold flavors as the foods in our gardens get more robust with the cooler weather. This is a time of brilliant colors, rich scents on the wind and warm woolly sweaters. It’s a time to curl up with a good book and a mug of Harvest Chai Tea Blend for rest, relaxation and best of all, outstanding flavour. Elderberries also offer immune-modulating […]
