Lip to Toe

I
love Pheylonian candles and I love the fact that the company producing them— Pheylonian Production Kohr—is committed to sustainable practices as well as using the highest quality natural ingredients. I am also enchanted by their story. Philoxia’s website says it best: “Now, in these times of Scattered Seed and Conscious Discord, it’s wonderful to know that these Original Pheylonian Beeswax Candles are still being made by the same family, generation after generation, right here at Philoxia. Iilah and Tawlia Chickalo and their family have resided here at Philoxia for over 30 years while developing and maintaining a variety of businesses compatible with their Pheylonian Lifestyle. Philoxia itself is situated on one of North America’s Largest Ley Lines and registered tropical fens for a Northern Climate.” Maintaining the teachings from both Iliah and Tawlia’s mothers, they create unique products that work extremely well. Their candles are magical and the halo of light that emanates from them is truly golden. Even better, they are completely nontoxic and beautiful. Loving their company and products, I turned to their Lip to Toe lip and body balm and was amazed to find that one tube of extra luxurious beeswax and essential oils can take care of all the dry areas on my body, especially my lips, elbows and knees. Lip to Toe is made with 100 percent beeswax, natural emollients and essential oils including those of Jojoba, grape seed, olive and calendula. Made in small batches this ‘Original’ blend combines Lavender, Geranium and Rose essential oils which can balance and heal at cellular levels. Lip to Toe is a premium, full-body balm and works effectively on all areas that are dry or chapped. As an active and busy person, I love the fact that this one product has so many uses. I do have to admit that I use it mostly on my lips to keep them protected from the sun, wind and surf. When I catch sight of a dry knee or elbow I am all set. I just grab Lip to Toe and my elbows are instantly drenched in moisture and healing oils. I keep some on my desk and use it all the time!

Salba® Whole Food Bars Put a New Spin on Energy Food
I
am one of those people who just likes a little bit of food here and there versus a huge meal. I can take six hours to eat a sandwich. I am always looking to get my essential nutrients in tasty little packages. Thankfully I found Salba Whole Food Bars. I seek my nutrients from real food. Each Salba bar contains 12 grams of Salba seed, which translates into 2,500 mg of heart healthy Omega-3 essential fatty acids, 7 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, plus 10 percent of the RDV of vitamin c, calcium and iron–all in one 190-calorie bar. Each of the flavors, Cranberry Nut, Mixed Berry and Tropical Fruit are not only delicious but also safe for people with special diet needs. They are sweetened with organic agave nectar which has been proven to have the lowest glycemic response of all sweeteners. This means they help stabilize blood sugar and encourage slow, sustained energy release so they are safe for people with diabetes. They are made with 100 percent plant-based ingredients, making them certified vegan. Plus the gluten-free oats ensure the bars are also safe for people with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Salba has been called nature’s most nutritionally perfect food. Nutrition experts such as Dr. Sherrill Sellman, a naturopathic doctor, is a big fan of Salba bars. She praises Salba as a key food in helping combat the increase in cardiovascular disease among women and said, “One of the newest foods in the fight for healthy hearts is an ancient seed called Salba, which is similar to flax. It contains eight times more omega 3s than Atlantic salmon. It’s also rich in antioxidants, magnesium, fiber, iron, vitamin C, calcium and folate, making it the perfect vegetarian source of key heart-healthy nutrients for women in particular.” Sellman adds, “Salba has the highest known whole-food source of omega-3 fatty acids found anywhere in nature. It contains a perfect 4:1 ratio of omega 3s to omega 6s. That ideal ratio is required for optimal health and hormones: regulating heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, immune support, and reduction of inflammation. Inflammation is now understood to play a major role in chronic illnesses, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.” All of this nutrition goes nowhere unless it is good and you will eat iy. Salba Whole Food Bars pack a lot of nutrition in a great tasting product. Salba Whole Food Bars are available at most local health food stores and select Whole Foods Market locations nationwide.
