MEET EDWINA
Whenever there is a discussion about health and wellness, I enjoy chiming in to either ask questions or share my knowledge on the subject. I am not a licensed medical professional...I simply enjoy learning about and discussing healthy living.
It all started back in 2007 when I began making and selling glycerin soaps, launching with only two scents from a soap-making kit that I found at an arts and crafts store. When I decided to expand my offerings, I researched the topic on how to add scents to handmade soaps. That is when I discovered that there is a distinct difference between a fragrance oil (100% chemicals) vs. an essential oil (100% plant-based).
Further research revealed that whatever we apply to our skin is absorbed into our blood streams...sometimes within 40 seconds or less! My personal convictions would not allow me to knowingly sell toxic personal care products to my customers. That is when I decided to use only pure essential oils to add scents to my glycerin soaps.
In 2010, I launched a full line of plant-based bath and body products that I trademarked under the name, Clenapure.
First, Natural Skin Care
That is me to the right, selling my Clenapure Natural Bath and Body Products at a local health food store called Georgetown Market. Shopping there was like going on a field trip because there were so many interesting and good-for-you finds! Clenapure was perfect the addition to their offerings. I will always be grateful for this opportunity!
During my in-store demo sessions, I thoroughly enjoyed educating my customers on the health benefits of using botanical skin care products vs. using conventional skin care products. Almost always, our discussions would expand beyond the subject of non-toxic skin care to my sharing tips on the safe usage of various essential oils, to the benefits of specific fruits and vegetables, to general, overall healthy living.
Next, Overall Health and Wellness
Over time, I've invested an enormous amount of research on how to improve our well-being and mitigate the negative impact of nerve-racking situations we sometimes face...with or without our permission.
Part of my research grew out of a necessity for me to learn how to get a handle on stress due to the negative impact that stress was having on my body. My research led to my creating an online course called, Natural, No-Fluff Stress Relief for the Workplace...and in life. That's because, many times, the same anxiety-reducing principals that apply to the workplace transcends to daily living, too!
I have learned a thing or two (or three, or more...) about how to better care for myself in the face of toxic and taxing situations. While the advice that I share here on my blog is not intended to cure, diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical ailments, I do enjoy sharing tips on what I have found to be effective in helping me to shield my body and mind so that I can thrive in life. That said, consulting with your licensed medical professional before starting any new health care regimen is always recommended.
I will share with you on how making even one small, healthy change at a time can have a positive impact on your health, both mental and physical. This the reason that I launched my Clean and Pure Life Blog. I hope you will find lots of valuable content inside.
Here's to your health!
