Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil Review





Have you ever heard of Tea Tree Oil? It’s a great and versatile oil you can use to help in your everyday life. You can use it for so many different things. It can help fight certain skin issues and you can use it for cleaning products too. With all the harsh chemicals we are looking for alternatives that are safer for our families. I learned about Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil which I was really excited about. I am personally trying to cut some of the chemicals out of my life after my surgery to remove my six pound tumor. I know that it probably wasn’t chemical related but it was definitely an eye opening experience for me.

  • Our Australian tea tree plantation has received awards for its industry-leading, conservation farming practices. They have the smallest carbon footprint of any producer of pure and natural Tea Tree Oil. The Australian Parliament has invited them to represent farming operators at a Carbon Farming Incentive forum. They were one of the first producers to be accredited under the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association Code of Practice. The nutrition program for the Tea Tree plants is based on organic fertilizers. When using pesticides (a necessity to ensure the health of the plants) they employ a shield sprayer to minimize any contact with the plant. Whenever possible natural crop protection products are used.
I had the chance to try out a bottle of Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil. It was my first experience with Tea Tree Oil and I really like using it. It came with a free e-book with great tips and ideas. The packaging is great. It comes in a pretty dark brown glass bottle. I have used it on my skin mostly. I don’t really get much acne after having horrible skin in Jr. high. I had pimples everywhere. It was really bad, that I had to go to a dermatologist quite often. Now I just get an occasional blemish on my forehead when I am on my cycle. The Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil works really well on acne.  I want to start making my own natural cleaning products as Tea Tree Oil smells fabulous. I sometimes get a mild headache from the smell of cleaning products.  Remember that Tea Tree Oil is not to be digested. It is for topical use only.  You can buy your own exclusively on Amazon. It’s only $24.99 and you get a huge 4 ounce bottle. It’s such a high quality product and a great value. Check out the reviews. There are over 800 5 Star Reviews!

Cars Should Have Names Too



My family has had a habit of naming their cars. It all started with my cousin’s car Trudy. I am not sure why her name was Trudy, but it fit her personality perfectly. Trudy was an older clunker hatchback. It reminded me of a little old lady with her own little quirks. Trudy was an awesome car. My cousin and I went on many adventures in Trudy. You had to talk nicely to her and sometimes say Come on Trudy to get her to go or start. She was well loved by everyone who rode in her. My cousin was a college student at the time she owned Trudy. I miss her.  My other cousin had a car who was named Sherman. He had started staying with my grandma after my grandpa had passed away. He was there to keep an eye on our grandma and to keep her company. I spent a lot of time at my grandma’s house so I got to hang out with my cousin a lot. I always liked that, because we are twelve years apart in age, so growing up I didn’t see him as much as my other cousins. I would see him on occasion at family things. He used to run me to the store and take me to Mc Donald’s and other places. Sherman always smelled like fabric softener. I never did figure out why that was. I think he had some in the trunk.

 My aunt had a Neon who was named Janis. Janis became my cousin’s car and we drove to Texas in Janis. She was of course named after Janis Joplin. My mom had a car named Gracie too. The car my mom drove when Noah was really little was named The Green Car. The Green Car was the best car ever. Noah named it because it was green. The Green Car was always in the stories I would make up about a little boy named Noah. Do you name your car?

Check out my post about naming your car and learn about some of the famous named cars in movies and TV.

Poisonous Snakes at the Rest Stop



It’s important to be safe at rest stops. We love to travel and go on day trips. One time we were coming back from the outlet mall in Ellington Florida, it started pouring really hard as it tends to do in Florida. We had to pull off the road because we couldn’t see anything. It was honestly pretty scary and not safe to continue driving. Thankfully we found a rest stop to just stop at and wait out the rain. As you know, rain storms like this usually don’t last long in Florida in the rainy season. After the rain stopped, we decided to get out and use the restroom. As the rain was clearing and I could actually see the signs that were right in front of me, I saw a warning sign for snakes. Not just your garden variety of snakes, but venomous dangerous snakes. If you know me at all, you know I hate snakes, venomous or not. I was pretty scared to get out of the car, but we had a fairly long drive. I was very aware of my surroundings that day.

I was used to alligator signs and occasionally seeing an alligator off in the distance, but snakes was a new thing. I have been in situations where snakes were probably present, but they didn’t make themselves known to me or I would have freaked out. I think I am more scared of snakes than alligators. I could just cut up the alligator and deep fry it. I have heard horror stories about rest stops. I am sure you have heard them too about women being kidnapped at rest stops and people hiding in their backseats waiting for them to return.  While most of them are probably just urban legends, it is good to be vigilant with your safety especially if you are alone.

Here is my post about Rest Stop Safety.
