Hello, I'm Vanessa

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.
