The multiple uses of Peppermint Oil!

When the cold weather is here, I look for many options to keep my family healthy, with so many virus and crowded places everywhere due to the holiday season. This is when I rely on essential oils to find relief and comfort.

The first Winter storm of the year! 

 One of my favorites oils, to diffuse, inhale and apply is "Peppermint". I like the delicate scent of peppermint to help relieve symptoms of stress, headache, muscle pain and respiratory problems. One thing I need to share with you, is I was diagnosed with "emotional" asthma when I turned 15 years old (emotional such a stress, tension or situations I cannot handle) which now I treat it with this powerful oil.

Peppermint by Simply Earth.

 The easiest way to apply essential oil, is directly to your index finger and rub carefully your temples and forehead with your fingertips. If you are like me, that I run away from germs and avoid getting sick, then you would like to clean with Peppermint oil or have a spray water bottle. How to do that? Easy! I combine 5 drops of Peppermint oil for every cup of water, then mix it and enjoy that smell while cleaning. It's healthy and you are not even using chemicals which is a win win!.


My little JJ playing in the snow! 

 My daughter, frequently wants to go play outside, she is an outdoors kinda of girl and I don't blame her! I totally love that. But, during the cold temperatures she is risky to catch a cold so I usually rub Peppermint oil on her chest and back, to relieve nasal congestion and coughing. It works wonders!. If you don't like applying directly on the skin you can just add a few drops to the humidifier.

Did you know Simply Earth gives a 13% of the profits from each purchase to help women victims of human trafficking? 

The use of Essential Oils is a 100% way better than other products that are made with harmful ingredients, that may even cause cancer. I honestly suggest you to give it a try!.

What I love about Simply Earth is they are a small, Eco-friendly family company. The essential oils by this company are 100% pure therapeutic grade, Non-Toxic - No Additives - Unfiltered and Undiluted with No Fillers and these are packaged in the USA. Yay!.

The lovely side of playing with dinosaurs!


I'm always looking for new playful ideas that keep my daughter busy specially now when we get to spend more time indoors since it's very cool out there. That's when I applied to review the Kids Imaginative Dinosaur Toy Figures & Learning Resources for Toddlers, Boys & Girls. 

Kids Imaginative Jumbo size Dinosaur Toy Figures.
My little one loves dinosaurs since she was very little, I remember one of the first words she said was dinosaur and "Roooaaar" haha! I believe she was one year old by then, now that she is three years old she really enjoys learning about history and dinosaurs is totally one of her favorites reading routines at the library. 

Well, the good news is I've got the chance to review these amazing toys from Kids Imaginative and it's been a hit it my home. I truly think this is the perfect gift for kids since they get so creative by playing with twelve colorful, brightful and well made figures. They will put away the electronic devices and would want to play all day long with these reptiles:  T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Apatosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Brachiosaurus, Styracosaurus, Velociraptor, and Euoplocephalus.













What you need to know about "Kids Imaginative":
 They are a newly launched small business which mission is to provide kids exceptional playtime and educational experiences through learning resources. They also take care of the safety part by not having removable or tiny parts plus these toys are BPA, lead-free, chemical smell free and passed EN71 test standards.

What happens when you get educational toys?.  The kids are more interested in reading about our past and the amazing world of the prehistoric era. What I'm loving the most is they are sharing with friends about dinos and their names. For example, my daughter is learning more about the colors and how different they are from herbivores, plant-eaters, or carnivorous. She is not only getting to expand her vocabulary but having a good time playing which I think it's the point of getting toys that are going to last forever. 
















These wonderful creatures might not longer be on earth but it's pretty awesome to recreate the history through play time with friends and siblings. Why having screening time when they can build awesome memories by playing with fun dinos?.
