I've got 5 more foaming hand soap recipes for you

I've got 5 more foaming hand soap recipes for you that are perfect for the winter season! ❤️

Making your own foaming hand soap is a great way to not only save money, but also to avoid the harmful artificial fragrances that are in so many products.

All you need to make these recipes are a foaming soap dispenser, castile soap, essential oils, and water!

My 5 recipes include: Winter Wellness (my version of 'Thieves'!), Peppermint Candy Cane, Bright Forest, All is Calm, and Christmas Morning.

For the full recipe details, head to https://www.theplantpioneer.ca/foaming-hand-soap-recipes-for-winter-and-christmas/ OR comment "winter soap" below and I'll send you the link!

If you're on Pinterest, you can also view/save these recipes there and follow me❤️

When you can’t have a real Christmas tree, the next best thing is… essential oils! Seriously, they are like Christmas trees in a bottle! 🎄❤️✨

If I could suggest just ONE healthy change to make this Christmas, it would be to ditch synthetic fragrances (and the harmful health effects that come with them), and switch to essential oils instead. They can make your home smell incredible, plus have so many other uses!

But how do you pick just one?! Pine, black spruce, or balsam fir? If you have a favourite of the three, we would LOVE if you let us know in the comments!

Another awesome hike with my dad this fall... We conquered Mount Yamnuska! This one had a lot of challenges but was totally worth it! I highly recommend hiking in the fall... the gorgeous colours and cooler temperatures make the best hiking days 🧡 (Keep that in mind for next year 😉)

We did a full video of this hike! Check it out on our YouTube channel: @plantpapajohn

With it being Pumpkin Spice season and all, I want

With it being Pumpkin Spice season and all, I wanted to talk about something I feel very passionate about, which is avoiding artificial/synthetic fragrances. If you were to ask me, "what is ONE thing I could change today to make a big impact on my health?", I would say to remove synthetic fragrances from your life and switch to natural ones (or unscented!). 🍂🍄🌾

Unfortunately, a lot of companies use deceptive wording on their product labels, or engage in what is known as "greenwashing", which is essentially making a product sound more natural than it actually is. You have to be pretty savvy these days to know what is actually natural and what is not...

This is why I wrote a blog post all about how to avoid artificial fragrances, including concrete examples of what to avoid and what to look for on the products you spend your hard-earned money on!

To read my blog post, head to https://www.theplantpioneer.ca/how-to-avoid-harmful-synthetic-fragrances/ OR comment "fragrance" below and I'll send you the link!

I truly hope you'll check it out, and if you found it helpful in any way, I would LOVE to hear about it!❤️

I got to go on a hike with my dad a couple of days ago to Larch Valley at Moraine Lake, and wow- it did not disappoint! It was absolutely gorgeous!

If you've been thinking about getting out to see the golden larches, I'd bet they'll be looking like this for about another week. This was #naturetherapy at it's finest ❤️

If you or your kids love candy, but are looking for a healthier option, I definitely recommend these Sour Crans from @patiencefruitco as my current top pick for a healthy candy alternative. They are seriously SO good! 😍

These are made with whole organic cranberries, dusted with organic cane sugar and natural flavour, and have only 8 g of sugar in the whole bag!

They seriously taste like candy too! All the health benefits of cranberries with all the taste of candy. So far, my favourite flavours have been the peach & watermelon. 😋
