The price to remain fresh

So since I found out about the negative effects of Aluminum in deodorants I have been to say the least not so fresh!!!  I appreciate the many diy recipes. I also am pleased with the natural companies attempts to sell deodorant. None of them work!!! I am being grandiose but to be fair to all..... the 5 all natural deodorants and three recipes I whipped up have brought me no success.

I have been hearing this same complaint from other people lately and I would like to start a running blog. As I continue to search and buy I will edit this post.

 I welcome all suggestions and products that actually work. I also would like us all to stop buying deodorant that is expensive and un reliable. '

New Year

Wow, 13 months!!! I apologize, I am happy to say I have an office location. I also have vended at a few events. I also have one planned on 3/14/15. So while I am moving and grooving trying to consistently build my client base,the oils have been selling like crazy.

I enjoy making the oils and hearing peoples feedback I just wish mainstream media would not have placed so many myths in our minds regarding hypnosis. I think we are so afraid of the unknown that we avoid it at all cost.

I understand the reason we should be cautious but being closed minded has never gotten us anywhere. I look forward to the clients that are to come. I also am grateful for my current clients.

I am currently running specials upon inquiry or mention of flyer.

A recipe for the weather

My Queenie has had the driest skin for as long as she has been on Earth. I got tired of using the prescribed cream on her dry skin which unfortunately had turned to eczema. I found myself going into stores all over the city some commercial some health food stores. Although I was able to find a cream that sounded promising I kept running into the same two problems.

1. Who can afford this stuff?!?!?!
2.The ingredients, the ingredients who is using this stuff on their skin?!?!?!?!?

Not my Queenie, so I went to the books. What is the purpose of receiving a holistic education and you can not heal those around you. After going over various herbs, flowers and cross referencing I settled on a couple.

I wanted this to be the first recipe I shared

1.Coconut Oil
2.Olive Oil
3.Lavender
4.Calendula
5.Aloe


I first put the olive and coconut oil in the pot on a very low temperature. Once the oils have melted and I have stirred them together I drop lavender and calendula inside. I do not use the essential oils though, I use the actually dried flowers. I like having bits of my extras in my mixes makes them seem more natural too me... I don't know ;)

I then scope some Aloe out and allow it to mix and boil slowly together. After sometime maybe 5-8mins I place a cover on the pot and allow the mix to marinate. Once I have checked the mixture and it has not boiled over I pour it into a container and place in a window, the freezer or the fridge.

Because this oil is for a for a 5year it is better solid to prevent any spills.

I hope you enjoy. Add what you want to make it your own. Allow your creative juices to flow.

An update

I believe in keeping things current. So I am going to jump on it as far as the blog goes. I want the blog to grow and flourish along with the business. I think of the blog as my personal connection to clients on every level. I am currently moving and grooving. I have registered the business name and I am in process of settling on an incubator in the City of St. Louis within 90days. I am excited and eager to pass out my business cards and to post up my flyer.!!!


All smiles


Ashe' beautiful people!

An under published writer

I am a writer. I love to write. I love the control involved in writing. I love the space and the freedom for ones mind to flow. Since I engage in a lot of internal dialogue like so many of us I enjoy the chance to vent outside in.

I have been giving an assignment that I feel is beneficial yet a push in a direction I have no desire to go in right now. I am focused on school. My education and my training fully. I currently offer sessions in any of my learned modality free of charge as a way to practice and hone my skills.

I also am a planner. I have a success timeline for myself. A set of goals to achieve that I have mapped out and followed. Some more so mentally than physically.

My business plan of action is to set up an internship with someone locally in my last year of school which will be the start of Sept! I then would like to graduate with all my credentials in order and hit the ground running. I plan to start a webpage, a facebook page, advertise in my top 4 local publications. After I have gotten a base of clients then I want to share my knowledge in the form of an article. Although I am knowledgeable about many things. I feel as if I would be cheating myself, the person reading the article and its potential readers by writing an article now that I thought should be submitted. I am still growing and putting more information into my mainframe.

I remember when I submitter my first poem to be published and the anxiety around that. I also remember feeling confident because I had working on my poetry since 8 years old. I choose a poem about love that I already wrote and that most people enjoyed.

I do not know what my next step will be regarding this assignment. I have done the research and I am glad to know just how this process should work. I also need time to prepare my craft into an article that can be a true example of what I am capable of.

Free writing for 7-10 mins.

I am an perfectionist. More so internally. Outwardly and in my non judgemental demeanor you would not even know it. I believe in acceptance of others of perfection within self. Whatever your idea of perfection is...just do it perfect. So the idea of writing un edited is going to work my mind a bit. due to the fact I am the back space spell check Queen ( I hope you know I have to use spell check) I like to stop in the middle sentences if I see an error and I will not just cursor over to the error I back space the whole sentence. Delete it all and start over from the error. Good times! I remember being in college and having an writing war with a girlfriend. My rule was I could not erase. I had to just allow my words to flow and whatever mistake was a mistake....I am sure the goal then and now was to see the raw beauty we will call it. I also guess that is why my thought wandered to that place almost 10 years ago in sept which also makes me wonder when is my 10yr hs reunion. I can not wait to go and I plan to have business cards ready. I have an issue wit run on sentences and time association I guess we will call it. Since there is no edit I am just running on in my thought as I would like to write. It took me a long while to utilize a period and comma correctly. I say time association because whenever I am given a time limit to do something I half way watch the clock and I am sure time has not passed. funny. I got the time though no rush. I wish I could break my night owl issue though. Seen as how my life no longer operates on that schedule and it has not in over two years. There is something about the last calm of the day though that motivates me unlike the first calm of the day which for me does not begin until 11am. between 730-about 9 it is the chaos of the day because I just do not want to wake up yet. mostly because I have been up all night resting in my calm with my eyes wide open. I even keep my bedroom light on to the last minute. Welp gotta go the last time I looked at the clock was 11:27 I went over figures me and my run ons :)

Nature my inspiration....but i love writing out my hard times

In the morning when I wake up I try to remember to connect to God before anything that is in the World. I hear the birds chirp and I smell the fresh air breeze. Nature for me is my oasis, when I am feeling in the need for a mental lift. I go to the park sit under a willow and near a stream.

 Grass grows everyday and water flows simply because God asked it to. So what's my problem? That is my inspiration. The ability to know that I will never have to endure more than I can handle. As long as I grow and flow.

I am allowing my writing style to grow from one of constant anger and pain, to one of gratitude. I am running away from the days of pages of disgust. I look forward to accepting the past as that and moving in the direction of my future.

This unfolding method of writing in gratitude has/can open my writing as a way to not complain but to further rejoice while sharing the things I think are important for all of us to know. I am sure that if I spent more writing time in outdoor space I would be able to record all the feelings I have when among nature. I enjoy the calm, the sounds, the animals and the grounding feeling of being so close to everything around.
