Below is a recent testimonial that I would like to share with you.  While Erica raves about emu oil for herself and her family, I have also included a couple of emu stories involving pet cats. As I have often mentioned, our Australian rendered, unrefined emu oil is unsurpassed.   “My sister first heard about your company at a trade show in Toronto. She has always suffered from terrible eczema, and had come home with your Emu Oil, which she swore has worked wonders for her skin since her purchase. I do not suffer from eczema, however, have battled cystic acne my whole life,…

Often the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin are most involved. If you suffer from rosacea…

February, you are not always a sunny month here in the north. We need the sun on our skin.  Let’s join the airport lineups to sunny destinations and be a chameleon.  Lose the mittens, scarves and winter boots.  Stuff them into the luggage side pockets …quickly, before your luggage is whisked to the bowels of the plane. Don the sunglasses, the sandals and the Hawaiian shirt. Inventory for the hundredth time the passports, the camera and scuba fins jutting from carry-ons. Adjust the sunhat.  Revel in the buzz about the resort destination, weather reports. …

Recently we received a wonderful testimonial from Jaclyn on instagram.  With permission of course, we are sharing it here. “My grinch dreams have come true :) This clay neem face mask from Earthtobody, plus a whole foods, plant based diet is how I got relatively clear skin. I still have a minor breakout when I’m on my period but other than that I seem to have no signs of those evil pimples. I used to get acne on my back and chest and in the t-zone on my face. If I eat anything with refined sugar or oil I will still break out. Before transitioning to a plant based diet I used to…
