Does your community have caution tape put up around your playgrounds? COVID-19 has changed the way we do a lot of things.
In Wisconsin, we are under a “Safer at Home” Order. Many schools have switched to online learning, some businesses have closed, and people have been asked to stay home as much as possible.
It feels like I’m part of a movie rather than real life. Can you relate? Simply Earth is committed to helping people use essential oils to support their health and wellness during this strange time.
This includes our Monthly Essential Oil Recipe Box. If you’re unfamiliar with our essential oil recipe box, here’s a quick description: it’s a subscription box where we send four full-size pure essential oils with six recipes created by our aromatherapists, Katie and Shilah. It also includes fun extra ingredients to complete your recipes. Each box has a different theme designed around making a different aspect of your home toxin free.
TODAY is a great start to detoxing your home from the toxic chemicals found in common household products. In this blog post, I’m going to be sharing how subscribers can get even more out of their box in light of COVID-19.
