Tis The Season.... for Cold & Flu

October 26, 2017
Well, the time has come. Cold and Flu season has arrived. Personally, I don’t like the flu shots so I take my chances, make soups, eat healthy, take vitamins and use essential oils to combat the germs and hopefully keep the down time to a minimum. In October Sprouts Grocery Stores have a 25% off all vitamins and supplements week. I definitely take advantage of these sales. They have them every three months, which ...   read more

Soap In My Eye! It hurts!

May 9, 2017
My 5 five year old son and I were washing the car the other afternoon. I use one soap that is a natural concentrate for just about everything. We were almost done and he spilled the soapy water bucket. Thinking we would need more he started adding soap to the empty bucket. I told him we were done and we didn’t need anymore. Well, somehow, I was on the other side hosing the car so didn’t see, soap ended up ...   read more

In A Blink of An Eye

June 22, 2016
“The days are long, but the years go by fast,” words of wisdom I was told by a wonderful woman. So much truth in that! I can’t believe three years have passed since I have blogged or given much attention to Tame The Beast Aromas. I am still practicing aromatherapy on a daily basis. I guess I went selfish and kept it to myself. However, it is time to share the abundance once again. I am settled back ...   read more

Could It Be The Toilet Paper?

June 27, 2013
I agree this sounds like a strange topic and most people don’t want to talk about it. However, we all have to eliminate toxins and we all use toilet paper. Being an advocate of health and wellness and all things natural I am always paying attention to labels and give a lot of thought to the food and supplements I ingest. I was surprised to find myself Googling chemicals in toilet paper. I was even more surprised ...   read more

We Are Now Blogging!

May 16, 2012
I talked to an old friend the other day. A friend of about twenty years. I told him I was doing aromatherapy and his answer was, "So." I thought, "How rude!" He said, "You've been doing aromatherapy ever since I met you." "Oh! No! I am really doing aromatherapy! I have a business and products! I am creating custom blends for other people too!" I did expect a little more enthusiasm from him, but I guess it didn't seem ...   read more
