Healing like the lotus
My story is rife with mud. Lots and lots of mud. That’s healing for me. It’s the feeling of being so stuck in the mud, right up to your eyeballs, with only your nostrils poking out, keeping you alive. Yet, somehow you manage to carry on for another day, another moment, another second. Somehow,you find the strength to pull yourself out.

Is your dish soap safe?
Are you ready to switch out your dish soap for something natural and zero waste?
If so, our dish soap bar will blow your mind with how lush and sudsy it feels and how clean your dishes will be after your first wash!
This solid kitchen soap works best when you wet your sponge, brush, or cloth and then load up with soap using the dish bar with a rubbing motion. A little bit goes a long way which means you have to replace your bar less often and you can feel good about using natural products on the kitchen tools your family uses every day.
For a sink full od dishes, put the dish bar under the warm or hot water for a few seconds and give it a once over. Fill up the sink as you would do to scrub the dishes and go to town! It won’t be as bubbly as name brand liquid soaps from the grocery store but they will still be nice and clean!

Natural Remedies for Croup
Croup is classified by that tell-tale barking cough. It’s the kind of sound that tugs on your heart strings. It can also act-up at night which prevents your kiddo from getting the rest they need and reduces their ability to recover. If you’re hoping to treat croup naturally, let’s dive in and look at the options!
What is a croup?
Croup is a viral illness and is super common in kiddos.
At first it can appear as a common cold with a stuffy or runny nose, and even a feaver, but what sets crop apart from other viral illnesses is that the upper airway - the larynx and trachea - swells and becomes irritated and as result, breathing becomes harder and harder. Croup is characterized by the barking / seal cough sounds and breathing that shows what the medical world calls retractions and/or stridor.
