Shop Local Bookstores Online
My friend recently posted a list of books she was reading and a link to a place to shop online and support local bookstores. I loved this. It is called BookShop and it is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. They created a space for people to buy books online that is easy and convenient but allow small bookstores to benefit. This is the very cool part.

New Jersey Teens Create JAÉ Candles and Giveback to Anti-Bullying
I think it's safe to say we all love a good candle especially during the holidays. JAÉ Candles & Co. is even more special because it was created by 3 New Jersey based middle school students + BFFs {13 years old!} who started this successful candle business.

Enhance Fertility with These Few Tips
I have been doing Reiki to women over the past few years to increase their fertility. It is one method I would highly recommend especially paired with acupuncture. I could go on about it for days and how many women have successfully became pregnant from it. I also highly believe in medicinal herbs to be powerful for fertility. These are a good place to start.

Oil Cleansing Changed My Skin
When I first head of oil cleansing, I thought there is no way I can do that. It won't feel clean. My thoughts were confirmed when I tried a few and had to literally wipe them off and cleanse again with a soapy cleansers. That was until I discovered Code of Harmony's oil cleanser. It goe on like an oil and removes ever ounce of makeup, including mascara. It washes off easily with water and no oily feeling left on my skin. Importantly it doesn't disrupt the skin barrier which i
