You may have noticed the new page up^ there, at the top of the blog, labeled "Letters". I have decided to combine my advocacy blog, and personal blog, all of my advocacy, letters, updates, and personal thoughts, will be posted here on this blog! I think it will be easier to not only keep up with, but I feel my readers will appreciate it more, because everything will be in one place! :)
The "Letters" tab will be updated frequently with letters to Layton, Thea, and Olivia, my three little lovies whom I advocate for. I like to write them letters, to let them know I am thinking of them, and so that their future families will be able to see that I their child was loved before they found them. :)
So, "Thea" interesting name for a post right? Well Thea, happens to be the name of a sweet little girl, who I fell in love with. She is living in an orphanage in Eastern Europe, and was born with special needs, she has sweet brown eyes, that twinkle, beautiful brown hair, and just the loveliest face. Thea, only has around 6 months to find a family, and isn't able to receive donations because she will only be listed for a few months.
Thea, is my newest little babe and I am extremely excited to be advocating for her! I can't get over how lovely she is, and cannot wait to see/"meet" the lucky family that will make her their daughter! :)
If you have any questions about Thea, please email me and I will put you in contact with the right people!
With Love,
Alyssa

Scrubs & Orphans
Recently I have been messing around with homemade sugar, and salt scrubs, and have been very pleased with the way they turned out! With a little help from Pinterest, doTERRA Essential Oils, and wonderful Coconut oil, I have created some fabulous scrubs, that are all natural, and homemade! :)
The proceeds from these scrubs will be benefiting The Pleven Project, to help better the lives of 92 children who are currently living in one of the worst orphanages.
I have used, and am still currently using one of these sugar scrubs. I wanted to make one and try it out myself, before I sold them to others, I needed to make sure that 1) They actually worked and 2) That they were worth buying, let me tell you...I love it! Now I'm not just saying this because it's "my creation" but because it truly is amazing! I had never used a sugar scrubs before, but had heard many great things about them, so I gave it a try. I use it after I shave (Sorry if that's too much information. ;) ) and because the coconut oil is a natural moisturizer my skin is literally so soft, and all the dry skin is gone! The doTERRA Essential Oils also give a wonderful 100% natural scent which just make these scrubs all the better. I also have extremely sensitive skin, and these do not irritate my skin at all! That was an initial fear of mine, that I would have some horrible break out, but I gave it a try and was extremely pleased with the out come, no break out, and smooth skin! :)
The scrubs are all the same price at $5 a scrub (plus shipping if you are out of state), and you can pay using the donation button on this page: Hosea 14:3 | Scrubs and if you are local you can use the donation button, or just pay with cash, either or. :)
These are the scents that I have made as of now:
Lavender Sugar Scrub
Lemon Sugar Scrub
Peppermint Sugar Scrub
Lime Salt Scrub
Please comment below, or email me: AlyssaGoodhue@hotmail.com and let me know which scent you would like to purchase. I have 12 empty jars, and am ready to make more scrubs, so please don't be shy! ;)
With Love,
Alyssa
