One of my favorite essential oils is also one of the most expensive oils; Melissa oil. It takes over 1,000 pounds of the Melissa plant, it’s leaves actually, to make just 15 5ml bottles of our Melissa oil. That’s just 1,275 drops of essential oil from 1,000 pounds of leaves… Wow.

About two years ago I wrote a blog about dog owners and how sometimes they don’t use their brain when it comes to their pets and hot weather. Even after all this time I still see people walking their dogs in the middle of the day when the asphalt or sidewalks are at extreme temperatures.…
Sometimes I find myself talking about a topic that I’ve never covered on here which is amazing since I’ve written over 1,700 blogs.
