Where to Buy Clean Beauty & Non-toxic Products in Canada

October 22, 2024

When it comes to finding natural and non toxic products that you enjoy and use in your home, accessibility can sometimes be an issue. When in Canada, that accessibility becomes even more limited. Most of the popular wellness brands hail from the United States. This is a barrier for most who don’t want to be spending so much on conversions rates, shipping rates, and dreaded duty fees. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would not welcome that unexpected $60 duty fee at my door. That being said, there ARE some really great wellness brands and stores in Canada. You just have to know what they are. So this article is dedicated to rounding up some of my favorite options for those who live in Canada.

How to Heal Tooth Decay and Cavities Naturally

July 8, 2024

Dental decay is one of the most common health concerns and keeps people in the dental chair more than they’d like. I have had my fair share of dental woes over the years. Although, I have learned over the years that many factors go into dental health and tooth decay and cavities ARE avoidable. I never really thought it was a possibility to heal tooth decay until I experienced it first hand. And while there are situations that have gone too far and warrant work from a dentist, this lead me to dig further into the research which opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at dental health. After all, if bones can heal and reform, why not teeth? It really goes deeper than just “don’t eat sugar” and “brush your teeth”. I wanted to dig into some of the information I have come across over the years and what I have implemented with my own family over the years.
