  • Have a Safe Summer with Boiron!

    Have a Safe Summer with Boiron!

    Your day at the beach doesn’t have to end in misery if you keep your first aid kit stocked with natural summer essentials from Boiron like Arnicare and Calendula medicines. These multi-purpose homeopathic products are available in easy-to-apply topical forms such as gel, cream, lotion or ointment. Arnicare works on muscle aches, stiffness and bruising, while Calendula helps heal cuts, scrapes, bug bites and minor burns and soothes irritated and sunburned skin.

    Calendula

    Whether you have small burns from the grill, outdoor firepit, or even just minor sunburn, calendula is what you need! Made from Calendula officinalis, a garden marigold, it can help moisturize and heal sensitive burned skin.

    Arnicare

    If you’re constantly on-the-go and doing some fun summer activities, make sure you keep arnicare in stock! Made from Arnica montana, a mountain daisy, it can help relieve bumps and bruises after a long day working in the garden, after a long hike in the woods, and even after playing some beach volleyball.

  • Guilt-Free Brownies featuring PlantFusion!

    Guilt-Free Brownies featuring PlantFusion!

    For the chocolate-lovers out there, these brownies are not only the guilt-free treat we all look for but they’re also gluten-free! The fun thing about making brownies is that you can change up the recipe to include some other fun treats; like fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, or even your favorite supplements! In this recipe, we used two PlantFusion supplements for an added health benefit. The Chocolate PlantFusion Complete Protein not only is packed with 21g of plant-based proteins but it keeps you energized while building and repairing muscle (this would be the perfect treat for after your daily workout)! The Vanilla PlantFusion Complete Plant Collagen Builder should be your go-to for building, hydrating, and protecting collagen. BONUS- the Vanilla PlantFusion Complete Plant Collagen Builder is also featured in our Smoothie of the Month for July- our Strawberry-A-Go-Go!

    Ingredients

    1 Cup Almond Butter (we used our fresh almond butter from our bulk section!)

    1/2 Cup Maple Syrup

    1 Egg

    1 Tablespoon melted butter (you can also use MCT oil or liquid coconut oil)

    1 Scoop Chocolate PlantFusion Complete Protein

    1 Scoop Vanilla PlantFusion Complete Plant Collagen Builder

    1 Teaspoon Vanilla

    Pinch of Salt

    1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips

    1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda


    Method

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9×11-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.

    2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together and whisk until smooth.

    3. Spread batter into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked around the edges.

    4. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes, even though it’s hard to wait!

    5. Cut into squares or fun shapes and enjoy!

  • Dry Skin? Moisture Up!

    Dry Skin? Moisture Up!

    Everyone knows when the seasons change from the harsh, cold winter to sweet, fresh spring due to their skin. Since we’re stuck inside all winter long or we go outside to shovel the snow from our driveways and off of our cars, our skin tends to dry up and crack. Which is never fun to deal with. We all have our parents voices engraved in our minds telling us to put on lotion before we go out in the snow- but most of the time we forget anyways. Thankfully, there are always new products coming out that help our skin when we forget.

    Even better news- we have lots of those products on our shelves just for you!

    Booda Butter

    Booda Butter’s All-In-One Moisturizer is made with organic shea butter, fair trade cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil. If you’re tired of feeling your skin crack all winter long, this “butter” will help prevent that! Bonus- it comes in a full and travel size so you can have it stocked in your house or in your bag.

    “Booda Butter has helped keep my hands “crack free” this entire winter. This moisturizer is a definite staple I use year round.” -Susan H.

    Puremedy

    This skin care company uses a variety of homeopathic ingredients. Their Intensive Skin Repair Salve contains arnica montana which helps relieve itchy dry skin, calendula to help heal wounds, echinacea augustifolia, and sambucus nigra to help decrease swelling and soothe the itch. Their Baby Skin Salve should be in every diaper bag. Not only does it contain sambucus nigra and calendula, but it also has cocoa butter and olive oil to help a baby’s skin stay soft and young!

    “My poor baby suffered from bad diaper rash and she couldn’t stop crying. Once we put this salve on, the tears finally stopped and it helped her rash significantly!” -Lynn I.

    Earth’s Care

    Earth’s Care is all about the Earth and your body- they are even a 1% for the Planet member! Their Dry & Cracked Skin Balm dives deep in your skin to moisturize at the source. With shea butter, arnica, and cajeput oil, your skin is in good hands! People who suffer from eczema will love their Eczema Lotion. Their improved formula contains colloidal oatmeal which helps protect the skin, along with aloe and almond oil to help soothe itching due to eczema and rash.

    “I LOVE the Eczema Lotion. Not only does it help the itch, but it also smells great and doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin.” -Kaitlyn A.

    Badger

    This family owned company specializes in organic topical products. They come in all shapes and sizes- especially in tiny tins for relief anywhere you go! Their Cuticle Care Balm gives you cuticle relief with shea butter, castor seed oil, olive fruit oil, and more. The Badger Balm for Hardworking Hands smoothes and softens your rough and dry skin. Perfect for after long days in the harsh winter weather.

    “My cuticles get so much wear and tear that they never look nice during the winter holidays. But now with Badger’s Cuticle Care Balm, my nails look great and they don’t hurt anymore!” -Jennifer M.

    Natural Hope Herbals

    This new brand of herbal salves is a great addition to your body care routine. Most of their natural ingredients are grown on their family owned farm in Millersburg, PA. Their Arnica & St. John’s Wort Salve can help relieve the itching and pain due to wound healing. The Calendula Salve helps decrease the unwanted redness and dryness from the winter weather. It helps soothe and nourish for the appearance of healthy looking skin.

    “I use the calendula salve everyday on my cheeks to help with the dryness from the ‘winter wind.’ I no longer have red or dry patches on my face and I love it!” -Lindsey S.
