Inspiring Wellness
through Holistic Health and Non-Toxic Living
Is “Natural” Really Natural?
Have you ever seen the word “natural” on a label before? It may convince you that it’s safe to use, but things aren’t always what they seem. We call that intentional, yet deceiving, marketing.
Sadly, toxins exist in everyday products like soaps, shampoos, air fresheners, cookware, cleaning supplies, skincare products, and more. When these toxins start to accumulate in the body, they can contribute to symptoms of toxic overload such as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, brain fog, skin issues, hormone disorders, and more.
But there is a better place to start.

Hi! My name is Jen and I know what it's like to be fatigued, depressed, struggling with emotions and unexplained weight gain. Unknowingly, for 24 years I lived in a home with mold, and year by year, the mycotoxins it produced built up in my body. While I don't want to relive those years of my life, I'm grateful for what they taught me and I'm here to share what I learned with you.
Every toxic thing I've gotten rid of and every nourishing thing I've put back in, has brought me closer to optimal health. If you, like me, have struggled with health issues and are ready to write a different story, I want to help you make a shift toward adopting holistic lifestyle habits that help you take control of your health. Let me take the overwhelm out of where to start. Sign up to receive a resource that will help you navigate the first steps in living a toxic free lifestyle.

Honestly, we have to afford it! After 30 days of being with you and eating better, I'm seeing great changes! The best thing is that my afternoon slump is so much less intense. I am able to function fully until 5pm and not have to "nap" at 2:00 or 3:00pm. Thank you!!

Jen has been such an encouragement to me on my natural health journey. I remember on a walk a couple years ago that I was feeling discouraged, and she reminded me that there were several things I was already doing to support my health, and that even small efforts add up.

When Jen was living in Iowa, I appreciated that she initiated get-togethers around learning about Young Living products. Jen has ideas and she carries them out! Her passion and energy for natural health are very evident to all who interact with her.

I was not an eager Ningxia Learner. I thought the stuff was overpriced and couldn’t be worth the investment. Orange Juice was my staple and I thought, surely that Vitamin C source would be adequate. But I tried Ningxia and for that day I felt very revived. I studied just a little bit more and appreciated this super-source of vitamin C/antioxidants. I dove in and purchased the packages of Ningxia and consumed them daily. My body: skin, inner stamina, thinking clarity improved markedly. I haven’t gotten sick with any cold or flu or anything else for 5 years. When I bring a house-warming gift, I give a beautiful bottle of Ningxia. I am sold on this product and believe it bolsters health for me and my loved ones. It is not a gimmick to the Brown Family; it is part of our Health Routines.

One of my daughters had severe cramps this morning. She said it woke her up in the night so she got the heating pad, and she was nauseous this morning (the worst it's ever been). She was miserable... but the clock was ticking. If she didn't go to school, she wouldn't be able to play in her flag football game tonight.
I suddenly remembered I had this specific oil for that time of the month - Dragon Time. I grabbed my DIY tummy roller (Peppermint + DiGize, good for all things tummy) and the Dragon Time. In a hurry, I told her to roll on the tummy roller, then I put a few drops of Dragon Time on her fingers to rub on top.
We rushed to the bus stop in the knick of time. I checked on her shortly after and she was feeling better! Gotta love natural remedies!!! So thankful.

Seven Reasons to Ditch Candles
The aromas you have in your home, whether they are from candles, plug-ins, or sprays, do make a difference in your health and the health of your family—pets included.
Most are synthetic and artificial and cause havoc on your endocrine system, leaving you with unwanted symptoms. A simple ditch and switch may be all you need.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH A LACK OF JOY?
Does a cloud of heaviness weigh you down? That's where I was in 2014. Sadness for unexplained reasons followed me around and I was desperate for a change. Are you? If so, read on.
My Turning Point
My change came through a starter bundle of essential oils. Specifically, an oil blend called Joy. Not understanding why, but willing to follow the suggestions I had been given, I began applying it over my heart daily. Slowly I became aware that something had changed. The heaviness of sadness that weighed me down had lifted. It's then that I became a believer in the power of aromatherapy and it's ability to impact my emotional and mental health.
What Changed in My Home
And it didn't stop there. The amount of colds that passed through my home was radically reduced as welI. Since then, things like Thieves, Lavender, and Frankincense have become staples in my home for everything.
There are many oils that can support your emotions and help you find the joy that's felt out of reach. You don't have to stay stuck where you are.
If you too are looking for a change, if you're lacking in joy and discouragement is your constant companion, may I suggest you try essential oils? The blend JOY may not be your HERO oil, as it was mine, but it might be. You won't know unless you try.

You know, like the barking, shedding and daily poop pick-up. Can I get an AMEN? Here's an example. The other day my daughter noticed a foul smell out on our front porch. It's a favorite spot for Mercy ( lab), and sometimes Scout (beagle ). They love to sit on the window seat to look out into the front yard or wait for someone to come home.
