• I use California Baby products on my children. Mostly I use the Tea Tree products that they offer. My son had terrible dry cracking skin and cradle cap that wouldn’t stop. After switching to those products, he has been fine.

• I still enjoy by herbal tea. Sometimes I make it in a suntea jar and sometimes with just warm water. I gave up my coffee. I am just not ready to give up my tea – and may never be. I love a good warm cup of tea.
