Since our carpet upstairs is getting older and I have dust allergies we decided to pull it out of our bedroom before our new bed arrived. We knew from previous experience that we had wide board pine floors upstairs and since I am a fan of painted floors we decided to paint the floor.

I believe in researching before using. Read More
Health and well-being is something I have been interested in for a long time. However, not by pumping man-made drugs into my body. I am stubborn enough to believe that God made this body to function and heal itself given the correct circumstances.
