Hi,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to email you in regards in any possible advertising opportunities you may have with your website. I'm looking to earn support for a national cause and get visibility for the "plant 1 billion trees" project. Shoot me an email back and let me know if you would be interested at all in supporting this cause or if you want more information on it. I look forward to talking to you soon!
I found your blog from the SFG forum.
ReplyDeleteThat's some impressive list you have there. I love Tea Tree oil. Aside from using it on the body, I like to put some in my vacuum bag and spray the furniture with it to treat the bacteria in the air.
My favourite herbs are: sage, basil, tarragon, and rosemary.
You have a couple of things that I've never heard of though, like respiration and nutribiotic; where do you get those?
Welcome, Cynergy Diva,
ReplyDeleteRespiration is an herbal blend from Solaray. Nutribiotic is a grapefruit seed extract. I have had positive results with both. I use Nutribiotic when I am exposed to anything. You should be able to find them at health food stores.
Did you see my post on Tarragon?
