Add to your valentine's perfect evening with a soothing massage. Use almond oil or coconut oil with a few drops of relaxing essential oils such as lavender, cedarwood or ylang ylang.
Norwex - Kathy Hill - Chemical Free Tips
Did you know that of 85,000 chemicals for home cleaning in existence today, only 200 have been tested by the EPA? What is in your laundry detergents, toilet cleaners, window cleaners, counter cleaners, etc.?
Feeling tired? Exercise! Studies find that moderate exercise for 30 minutes improves energy, even when you feel tired. Exercise stimulates blood and oxygen circulation, giving your body more energy.

The 7 Wonders of Oregon
There are 7 Wonders of the World, and not a single one of them is here in Oregon. All we can figure is whoever came up with the list must have never set foot here. They must have never seen Mt. Hood or the grandeur of the Columbia River Gorge. They certainly didn't explore the Oregon Coast. The exposed earth of the Painted Hills, Smith Rock's towers of volcanic ash and the airplane peaks of the Wallowas were overlooked as well. Even Crater Lake, the deepest lake in America, was left off their list. So we see your Wonders, world. And raise you 7 of our own.
