DIY Rosemary Essential Oil Cleaner
A couple of weeks ago, I tried my very first homemade disinfecting spray made with Tea Tree, Lemon and Lavender Essential Oils.

Ninja Ultima Blender Smoothie Perfection + 3-2-1 Immune Boost Recipe
I received a Ninja Ultima Blender in exchange for this review. All opinions expressed are my own, based on personal experiences with the product. My family bought our first Ninja blender several years ago so we could make smoothies. The word "Ninja" quickly took on a new meaning at our house. All my husband had to do was ask, "Who's ready to Ninja?" and the kids would all come running to the kitchen so we could make smoothies together. ...
