After seeing my health insurance rates skyrocket over a two year period without filing a single claim, I decided it was time to change. After some investigating, I found a policy that was (relatively) inexpensive and met my needs. Their...
Did you find everything on your shopping list on Black Friday? Or, are there still quite a few folks you just don’t know what to get? In today’s economy, buying presents is stressful in more ways than one. Here are some herbal gifts...
I’ve been getting some inquiries from folks just starting to investigate herbs about which ones they should start with. My usual reply is “start with solving a problem you currently have and then build from there”. However...
I just got back from having my teeth cleaned. While it’s not on my top-100 list of favorite things to do, it seems to be one of those necessary evils. However, the last two cleanings have been short and, while not pleasant, weren’t...
