Hello, I'm Vanessa
I once had someone tell me they did not like my purple hair, said it was for the birds. My nickname is Birdie. Sometimes, The Bird. I am a Christ-follower, wife, mother, grandmother, business owner, city slicker, purple lover, and health nut. Learn more about me.

Shop HLHT
Essential Oil Bottles
I had these custom 5-ml essential oil bottles with amethyst gemstone roll-ons made to give as gifts to our HLWEO team members. The minimum order size was more than I needed, so I'm selling the overstock in my HLHT Shop.
Amazon Affiliate
In January 2019, I took Adsense ads off Healthy Living How To. The biggest reason being it provides for a more pleasant reader experience. However, I am an Amazon Associate and earn a small commission when you shop using my affiliate links.
