The Power of Positive & Appropriate Touch

Do you know how powerful touch is, the messages it gives, and the effect it has on a person’s emotional, psychological, and relational growth? Touch has been studied for many years in particular the healing nature it holds.

Massage therapists use touch to heal, parents use touch to hug and hold their children close. It’s no wonder it impacts a child’s sense of worth, feelings of love and security, etc. It doesn’t stop there. Adults need touch, too. Even those who are uncomfortable with touch or shy away from it come to find relief and a sense of happiness as endorphins and oxytocins are released and bonds are formed.

Appropriate, positive touch is important and needs to be encouraged more in our society. If you agree, post a comment below and share how appropriate, positive touch has been beneficial in your life or of someone else you know.

Dab Herb Makeup and Skincare. An Organic Etsy Shop

Dab Herb Makeup and Skincare ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/DabHerbMakeup ) is my favorite makeup shop offered on Etsy. Crissy, the shop owner, prides herself in offering effective, organic, food-grade ingredients and healthy, responsible containers to store her products in. Her glowing reviews on her shop speak for themselves. Here, the quality is evident and the products work. Her customer service is also remarkable. When I wear makeup, I find myself mostly wearing products from this shop. Let's take a look at Dab Herb's makeup which I purchased. Pictured above is the Organic Herb Foundation. This is my favorite foundation and it offers excellent coverage. For daily wear, I usually prefer less coverage, but when I want to get all glammed up this is my go-to product. It is blendable, buildable and my ideal foundation. The price is great especially considering the organic, food-grade ingredients that were carefully selected to give you unbeatable natural beauty. When compa...

Gather 'Round's Letters and Numbers Curriculum

First, take a moment to close your eyes and envision your ideal curriculum to teach your child their letters, numbers, sounds, and more. What would it include? Would it contain beautiful water color images to make the lessons come alive to your child? Would it incorporate nature study as your child has opportunities to learn about two new animals each week and interesting facts that capture your child's interest about those amazing animals? Would your ideal curriculum include bible and character study or contain short enough lessons that you can make it as short or as long as you desire? If so, this very well may be the curriculum that you have been looking for! Letters and Numbers is Gather 'Round's preschool curriculum, which along with their kindergarten curriculum, Ready to Read Program (which starts with Burrows and Holes), can be used for pre-k through first grade! These two curriculum sets are skill based, not grade based, so w...

Living An Organic Lifestyle: The Hunt for Organic, Non-toxic Makeup.

Two years ago, I quit wearing makeup due to health and financial reasons. I had learned about the toxic effects that mainstream makeup can pose for one's health and it made me take a careful look at what foods I ate, cosmetics I used, and chemicals I subjected my family and I to. For someone who practically depended on makeup to make me look better than I felt, as I live with a chronic illness, it was challenging to muster up positive self-esteem some days. I began to look as poorly as I felt. As time passed, I began researching organic makeup. As living an organic, healthy lifestyle became so important to me, I knew organic makeup was the way to go. In addition to this requirement, I didn't want any makeup that contained toxic ingredients or that contained ingredients that I was not comfortable with, such as hydrogenated oils. I began my hunt for organic, non-toxic makeup armed with the realization that not all organic makeup is created equal or avoids the use of potent...
