SinuOrega Nasal Spray + OregaSpray Multipurpose Spray Review @nahsco

Disclosure:  I was not financially compensated for this post.  I received the product to evaluate for review purposes. 

I am always amazed at how effective natural remedies can be. Who would have guessed how effective and useful oregano could really be.  For years, I just thought oregano was a great spice to use in my Italian cooking.  Actually, oregano, and specifically Oregano P73 is a powerhouse that can be used in tons of ways to help you out every single day. I recently received two products to try out from North American Herb and Spice. 
See what you think and let me know....I am so excited about them.

How many people do you know that have sinusitis way too often?  I know several including close family and friends.  I worry about all those antibiotics that some of them take too.  Data has been shown that overuse of antibiotics is problematic and may actually lead to antibiotic resistance. Many health practitioners agree that the use of a saline solution to flush out nasal passages is the best approach. That is why I always do first and I try to avoid using antibiotics unless the doctor is pretty sure it is something bacterial going on.

One option is to try SinuOrega to aid the cleansing process of the nasal membranes, naturally. This saline wash combines the powerful but natural wild crafted essential oils of Oregano P73, sage, bay leaf and clove.  This aromatic spice formula is blended in a base of pure sea salt to cleanse your sinuses.  I like that this spray is totally natural and free of any kinds of chemicals or additives. It is easy to use too!  It just takes a second to insert the nozzle next to the inner nasal membrane and gently squirt a bit in there while sniffing deeply to distribute it throughout the sinuses.  Repeat the same with the other nostril. You can repeat as needed.  I noticed the first couple of times I used it I felt a little bit of a burning sensation. It subsided after a few uses. You may notice this or a little bit of stinging or sneezing or even increased nasal discharge. This is an non-addictive product so I feel confident using it when I need to.
The second product I received is OregaSpray. This is a totally potent antimicrobial spray and air detoxifier.   It has antiseptic properties and also acts as an antioxidant and decontaminant.  It can even be used as a bug repellent.  OregaSpray is a product that combines potent emulsified spice oils like wild oregano, bay leaf and lavender but it is totally chemical free!  An excellent option if you have sensitivities and allergies. The neat part about the OregaSpray is that it can be used to cleanse the skin and body too. My skin sometimes just freaks with those chemical bug repellents...the itching...ugh. OregaSpray can be used as a natural and effective bug repellent. Yup, a natural bug repellent that works.  I love our backyard but it is bug heaven. I just spray on a little of the OregaSpray and I am good to go. The bugs don't come near me hehehee! I feel better because I know I am avoiding those carcinogenic chemicals, neurotoxins and endocrine disrupters that are in some of the chemical bug repellents.



Orega spray is all natural and so safe you can eat it. No worries about the kids or pets. It is an excellent option to take with you when you travel.  You can use it to disinfect counters, dishes or even food. It is effective as a natural bathroom cleaner. You can use it in the bathroom to destroy mold or even in the garden to repel garden pests. Lord knows I have plenty of those and I was more than happy to spray my OregaSpray on my roses to prevent more nibbling.  Does someone in your family have stinky feet that need some some help? Maybe even just for the gym...we all get sweaty when we workout and that is totally normal. North American Herb and Spice shared that you can rub it on your feet after a shower or bath too.  I tried it and it feels good. My feet stayed fresh even through a crazy workout.


OregaSpray was tested at Celsus Labs to prove that it kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses and molds, both in the air and on surfaces.  I feel really confident when I use it that it is cleansing both germs and odors. Let me know how it works for you.  I would love to get additional ideas.

Chelsea Jacobs Happy to be Alive, Because Book Review

Disclosure: I received the product mentioned above for free for the purpose of this review.

Avery is a seventeen-year-old girl whose reality has just been shattered by the death of her mother. Feeling a desperate need to flee from what has become her life, she follows a travel plan meant for her mom and her that leads her to the little beach town where her mom grew up. It's there that she meets a group of three adventurous friends who adopt her into their circle, allowing her to experience a summer she never thought would be possible after suffering such a great loss. Unfortunately, her summer full of experiences threatens to end abruptly when she realizes that one of the three has a secret that causes her to question everything about the new life she has been building. Avery must learn to balance her grief and her desire for a future in order to achieve her mother's final wish for her: That she would be happy to be alive.

My thoughts:
This is a great summer beach book....perfect with the summer theme.  It really made me think about my teenage summers....everything always seemed so vivid back then.  Chelsea Jacobs does a great job of really bringing out and developing Avery's personality.  You can really get into her head and experience her sadness about her mom's death. It brought me back to my own personal experiences with death and how I was able to move on. The author really has you go through the experience with Avery. Her mom was able to provide something from beyond to Avery that was discovered after her death:  a trip that was meant to be a mom and daughter adventure.  I have taken trips with my own mom and it is such a special time.  I can't even imagine but it captured me and reeled me in.  

Avery was so surprised by this travel plan that she began to search further and she unearthed a special journal that her mom kept. This pushed Avery through another stage of grief which she had to work through and make some decisions. Her summer takes on a new dimension when she decides to take that trip that was meant for her and her mom. Solo. The trip unfolds to hold a special summer with newfound teen friends.  All women know that secrets are such a part of the teenage mantra and they change everything for Avery during that summer.

Shandali Yoga Towel is a great option for Bikram yoga, pilates or any exercise class

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I have been a yoga fiend the past few months.  Of course I am still doing all my crazy boot camp stuff but the yoga is so relaxing and it gets my tight muscles all stretched out.  I even fell asleep in the final relaxation portion of the class the other day....luckily I had covered myself with the Shandali yoga towel so I stayed nice and comfortable.  I love this soft and absorbent towel! The Shandali Yoga towel is the #1 Rated Hot Yoga Towel and I can kind of see why.  It is 24" x 72" so totally mat-sized, microfiber, super absorbent, and even anti-slip. Great for warm or hot yoga classes when you get really sweaty.

Here is an easy way to increase your confidence and focus during your yoga or pilates class while your mat stays dry and you stay safe on your mat - no more slipping around!  No more borrowed or too small towels either. This is one of the best Bikram yoga, Pilates, fitness and exercise towels with a great lifetime guarantee.
The GoSweat towel is very absorbent and quick dries in a flash. It was actually designed to soak up sweat and moisture specifically for sports, fitness and yoga. I have been impressed that it really dries quickly. I do take care to wash after each class....I am very particular about cleaning my gym and yoga gear regularly.
The GoSweat towel is a perfect companion to any activity. Think about it...it is very light weight so you can carry it easily to and from your yoga studio. Versatile so you can use it at the gym, pool, beach, and other activities.
