December 24, 2020 | BY Maia James

UPDATE:  Video here with my response to some of your comments. When I asked you guys if you'd like to know my stance on the Covid-19 vaccine, including what my scientist husband thinks, I didn't predict the massive response.

6 Back-to-School Immune Boosters

September 2, 2020 | BY Maia James

-Written by Suzanne, resident Grandma and Certified Holistic Health Coach I didn’t think that by September we would still be dealing with Covid-19 and be somewhat quarantined, but here we are. Because of my age (69) and my husband’s age (66), we have been mostly only leaving home to take our daily walks. There's so much we can't control right now, but I have been focusing on keeping my

March 28, 2020 | BY Maia James

I hope you are all healthy and (semi) sane right now! My family is on day 8 of a 14-day self-quarantine after a family member with whom we'd been in close contact tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

2020 update: We wrote this post a couple of winters ago, but many of you are in search of humidifiers because of Coronavirus. I hope this makes shopping for one easier! This time of year, I get a lot of questions about humidifiers. As temperatures drop outside, we turn up our thermostats for relief.
