Simply Earth Essential Oils Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I am fairly new to using essential oils.  I was recently introduced to Simply Earth Essential Oils.  They offer a great selection of different essential oils.  These are really reasonably priced, and great quality oils.  Do you want to start using essential oils, or are you looking for more oils to add to your collection?  Simply Earth is a great place to shop for these!

I was given the opportunity to choose a few oils from Simply Earth.  The hardest part about this was that all of their oils sound amazing.  Their oils are 100% pure.  They are made with great quality ingredients.  You really can tell when you receive them, and try them out.  I was impressed.  A little bit of their oils goes a long way.  These are concentrated oils, and not diluted with anything else.  What is your favorite essential oil, and what do you use it for?



Orange
This is one of my favorites.  This is a great oil if you love citrus.  It smells so good.  I honestly use a tiny bit on my wrists almost like perfume.  I love that it is all natural.  Orange is known for being a natural anti-depressant.  I am in love with this oil.  



Eucalyptus
This has a very herbal aroma.  Eucalyptus can be used for a variety of things.  We have been suffering from allergies  and sinus issues.  This is an amazing oil to use for that.  It is said to be a decongestant, antiseptic, and have anti-viral properties.  These are just some of the benefits of Simply Earth's Eucalyptus oil.  It is reasonably priced too for just $5.00 on their website.



Grapefruit
This is another amazing oil to try if you really enjoy citrus.  It has a really fresh and clean aroma.  This is an aromatherapy oil.  It is known for being an antiseptic and diuretic.  It has a number of uses, but I personally love to use this one like a perfume too.  It is great for use on your skin and hair too.  This is a wonderful oil if you love grapefruit.



Lemongrass
This is one of my absolute favorite oils.  I am a huge fan of lemongrass.  I love the way it smells.  It is light and fresh smelling, but also has a clean scent.  Lemongrass oil is known for having antiseptic properties too.  Lemongrass is known for being used in Indian medicine.  How would you use this 
oil?



Oregano
I have heard so much about Oregano oil from many of my friends that use essential oils.  It is said to have antiviral properties, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties.  This has a strong oregano aroma.  I personal love the fragrance.  It can be used for a variety of things.  It used to be used to treat skin conditions, respiratory problems and much more.  

These are just some of the many great quality oils that Simply Earth offers at reasonable prices.  You can visit their website to learn more about all of the oils they offer, or buy your own.

Dr. Critchlore's School For Minions - Gorilla Tactics - Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



Are you familiar with the Dr. Critchlore's series?  We received the first book in this series awhile back, and my son and I both enjoyed it.  We recently received a copy of the second book in this series.  This book is just as great as the first one.  The book is written by Sheila Grau and illustrated by Joe Sutphin.  My son loves that this is a great series, but the illustrations throughout the book make it even more fun.  Keep your eye out for the release date of this book in March!

I do not want to ruin this book for you if you plan to read it, so I will give you some background on it.  This is a fun story that is a little bit creepy.  It is all about a boy going to school to be a villain.  The story follow Runt Higgins.  He is in search of some answers.  He has to find out where the Great Library is.  The Great Library might have the answers that he needs.  The problem is that it is a challenge to find the Great Library.  Runt realizes that he is not the only one looking for the Great Library.  

The author has done a great job making an eerie book funny as well.  The book is entertaining, and one of those books that you just won't want to put down.

Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids

Disclosure - free sample provided.



It can sometimes be a challenge to find books to teach children about religion that are written at the right level for them.  What are some of your favorite Christian books for kids?  I was recently introduced to Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids.  This is a bible geared towards children.  It is the New International Version of the bible.  However, there are some additions to it that make it appeal to children.  I have a 9, and almost 11 year old.  I thought this was a great version for them.  

This bible has both the new and old testament in it.  The table of contents makes it easy for children to find exactly what they are looking for, and on what page.  This is a great bible to have on hand, and on your bookshelf.  Throughout the pages are devotions.  These pages are an added bonus that my kids really enjoyed. These "Big Dreams" pages explain to children the verses in easy to understand terms.  I love this.  It really helps children to relate to what the bible is saying, but in language that they relate to.  

This bible would make a great gift with Easter coming up too!  You can learn more about the Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids here.

The Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids, NIV includes the complete New International Version (NIV) of the Bible along with devotions, prayers, and highlighted verses to help kids pray and listen for God’s answers to their prayers.
