One word that reigns supreme in my thoughts of late is “sovereignty”. To me sovereignty is feeling EMPOWERED over one’s own life - physically, emotionally and financially. I have made it my mission in life to help people reclaim power over their physical body (through diet and lifestyle choices), to adopt a fearless, positive mindset and to support them in establishing and securing financial sovereignty. In a precarious world, feeling empowered over one’s own wealth, health and emotional state is paramount.

We are often asked about natural ways to care for our plants at home and natural ways to manage pests that may plague plants. I was intrigued to learn that Gary Young would use essential oils as a natural form of pesticide on his farms. I picked up a fantastic booklet on this topic at a YL convention a few years ago in USA and I have had it scanned and uploaded into the Essential Oils 101 Guide in a new section called “Gardening with Essential Oils”.

I used to be what you would call an essential oils sceptic. Even though I had been dabbling in essential oils for the last 20 years, I just thought that they were nothing more than something that you burned in your house to smell nice or use as a natural perfume. It never dawned on me that they had any therapeutic use whatsoever. And it certainly didn’t cross my mind to ingest them.

USD22- much cheaper than if you got the products shipped from USA by a mate!).
