ABOUT ME

I have always been interested in natural and organic products, but was often disappointed in the cost of purchasing these items and even more disappointed to find out how much of the product was actually natural or organic and we don't even want to get into the costs of these products. Let alone the impact these products and our environment have on us.

I believe that even in a bad economy we want what's best for us and our families. It makes a difference in our state of well-being and that affects our relationships too. From caring for our bodies while we are pregnant, to caring for a new born child, raising children in an era of ADD/ADHD and autism, working all day, eating unhealthy foods and being too tired to prepare nutritious, healthy foods for our families we opt for the drive-thru or using our microwave ovens. What we need is to go back to the basics and become self-sustainable. This is not only gives us better control over our health, but will be beneficial over the long run economically too.

So, I attended the accredited American College of Health Sciences to earn my certification as a manufacturer of natural products and during this time was able to experiment with a multitude of natural recipes. I was really impressed with the results. I also have my Certified Professional Food Manager certificate, provide Home Rating Energy services and I am a BuildIt Green Green Building Professional.

I hope to be able to share some of these recipes with you. Quality natural and organic ingredients can be expensive, but if we are able to get a big enough group going we can share in the costs and if you are interested in growing some of your own fruits, vegetables and herbs the savings can be even greater. As this organization grows are intentions are to either offer classes free of charge or subsidize the costs.

This group is for everyone to become involved.

Pets are important too!

Some of the topics we will cover are:
Homestead and the Pioneer lifestyle - getting back to basics
Emergency Preparedness
Survival Skills
Making natural cosmetics:
Bath and body - replacing our shampoos, conditioners, soaps and toothpaste
Children's products - fun soaps, gardening, and other handmade crafts
Pet products - natural pet foods including treats and shampoos
Household cleaners - laundry soap, all-purpose cleaners, window cleaners, etc.
Homemade gifts to enhance your home or to sell for additional income
Growing herbs (for cooking or a medicinal garden)
Aquaponics
Solar cooking/drying
Wind energy and biofuels
Field Trips
Farmer's markets (including local food co-ops)
Preservation of our surrounding land (this will also benefit our home gardens and being able to wildcraft)

I am not a vegetarian or vegan, but I would be happy to make any necessary modifications.

Living Healthy with Natural Products has a new name: Simply Sustainable, Inc.

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization reaching out to the community to live a healthier life style.

We have been living in a society where both parents work to make ends meet and most of our food comes from a grocery store rather than a home garden. It's easier to heat up a frozen meal in the microwave or go through a drive-thru and we wonder why there is such a need for health care. Even our children are dealing with obesity, ADD/ADHD, autism and other disorders.

It's a new year and time to so some spring cleaning. In the long run it will be worth it to you and your family. We need to become a community again and get back to the basics. Simply Sustainable helps communities bring back the homestead lifestyle and provides workshops and other classes teaching sustainable living and the pioneer lifestyle; emergency preparedness and getting your "healthy" food storage in place. The forecast for our economy does not look like it will be getting any better anytime soon.

We'll learn to make natural products for the home that is fun, cost effective and a healthier way to live.

We'll be making everything from homemade laundry soap to cosmetics using natural and organic ingredients. There will even be a little something for pets. Canning and preserving. Bigger projects include solar dryers, wind energy and biofuels; raised bed gardening, composting, hydroponics and aquaponics.

Can you imagine knowing what goes into your lipstick or foundation and being able to create a color that is right for you without the high cost of brand make-up or losing out on the quality by using cheap make-up.

Do you enjoy making soap for the home and giving them out as gifts to share with family and friends?

So, let's get started replacing all the over priced, unhealthy products we may have in our homes and start living a more natural lifestlye!

Simply Sustainable will also be offering workshops for children 12 and over. Don't have time to cook then let your children learn how to make healthy meals for the family.

Help us spread the word! Your donations and contributions will help us bring in more speakers and lower the cost of food preparation demonstrations and workshops. We'd like to provide healthy food alternatives to low income families, senior citizens and new mothers. Our goal this year is to open a community Farmer's Market and start an organic and natural food cooperative in the areas of Phelan, Victorville, Oak Hills and Hesperia. There is an established food coop currently in Apple Valley (Bountiful Harvest).

Here's to a happier and healthier new year!
