In reply to Ann. Ann, I always buy Sterling Silver jewelry with no Rhodium coating. You may have to polish it once in a while but the silver which may leach into your skin has health benefits. Gold is good too, but gets expensive for a high gold content.

In reply to Martina. There's a new DIY recipe on most Wednesdays and a new food recipe published every Tuesday. Many blog readers are busy and are looking for healthy options that they can buy so Wellness Mama tries to provide both. Thanks for your comment!

I was always looking forward every Weekend to reading your homemade recipes but now most of the time you are just advertising other products. I do not enjoy this.

Do you have any suggestions for safe jewelry, especially earrings? With concerns regarding metal toxicity and energy flow for piercings, just trying to find healthy alternative materials (wood maybe?) and ways to wear them (clip on, I guess?)
Thank you for any suggestions you may have or sending me in the right direction of someone else who may have figured some of this out!

In reply to Christine. Agree on the silver coins. We have been doing this for years and continue to even in our adult children's stockings. I also love giving them for birthday gifts, to our grown nephews. Merry Christmas everyone!!

In reply to Kathy. Thanks so much for your feedback, Kathy. It's a really tough balance between creating great content all the time for free and allowing advertising that pays for my time, web hosting, email service, etc. We're always trying to find the correct balance so thanks again for your constructive feedback!

I used to like your website and use it all of the time, however the last almost year there are SO many ads on it and in between paragraphs and so many pop ups that I can’t seem to remove no matter what settings I have. I don’t get these on other pages b/c I have tight privacy settings, but wanted to share that it is so annoying and distracting, so unfortunately I am not using your site at all anymore. I just saw something and happened to pop back on it to read something and the same things happens—ads all over the place I assume you are getting paid to have all these ads pop up all over, but it is a big disservice to your site. I loved learning and getting some health info from your site, but it’s just one big commercial now and that’s really sad. Just wanted to share. I know you can’t read tone, but I am not mad, just very disappointed.

Just finished making a couple batches of bath soap for the neighbors and… for stockings! So many friends are “expecting” their cubes of soap this year. It’s crazy how much people love (and benefit from) these DIYs! Your recipes have inspired me so much. I’ve tweaked a few here and there but you have really changed my household. Thanks, as always!

Awesome list! It is good to give something healthy while we all eat unhealthy food during Christmas.

In reply to Cristen. We got our girls ears pierced at Claires. I researched and to my surprise, I felt it was the best option. Some doctors offices do it, but they typically have less practice and it seems there are more cases of holes being in the wrong place, etc. Tattoo parlors are another option and using a needle is supposed to be the safest and gentlest way, but I didn't want to bring them to our local tattoo place and the one earring I have that was pierced by a needle is the only one I've ever had trouble with. There can be some small concerns with risk of infection, etc, but no long term health ramifications I'm aware of. For what it is worth, both my mom and mother in law acted like they wouldn't get it done when they found out we were letting our daughters, but it was just that they disagreed with girls getting their ears pierced until 13 or 16 years old. I do typically clean the earrings with colloidal silver instead of the ear care solution.

My husband and I are really passionate about saving & investing money. A piggy bank, roll of change, and silver coins or bullion are my favorites. Silver coins are printed in so many designs these days, we love to collect any with animals on them and so do the kids!

Hi Katie… Speaking of gifts, my daughter has been wanting to get her ears pierced for years( she is nine) and I had a whole theme for Christmas (music box jewelry box with gift certificate for music lessons and was thinking about allowing her to get her ears pierced so a small pair of nice earrings) Well, I recently heard a friend into health too act like she wouldn’t get it done… I have put it off all this time because of age and another thing to take care of ( her ears,lol) , and also have been unsure of the best place to go! Do you recommend it? Is there something I have missed health wise across the board for doing it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated… Truly value your opinion and am so grateful for all you do! Thank you Katie!
