I have Googled different herbal remedies in the past but I am always skeptical that it might not be safe.

Everyday Empowered not only includes the ingredients and information about them but it gives me the confidence to make things to support my health and wellbeing!

Wow! This was such a fun kit. It would make a fantastic gift.

I adored the recipe cards and the way it was all presented.

I particularly loved that it introduced me to different recipes that I wouldn’t have tried without the prompting (hellooooo Chamomile Syrup!)…

All in all I am a convert.
