More Easy Spring Cleaning Swaps 🙌🌎☀️🌿

DIY Linen Spray

Fresh sheets just hit differently 😌🛏️✨

After I change the bed, I like to give everything a light mist 🌿💧 before pulling the covers back

Here’s an easy linen spray: 👇

🍸 1 tsp witch hazel or vodka

💧 Water

💜 30 drops Real Lavender (or your fav combo)

Add everything to a 16 oz spray bottle 🫙✨, shake well 🔄, and lightly mist your sheets and pillows 🛏️💤 or fabric covered sofa or cushions or curtains.

Lavender is a great choice at night 🌙💜 since it helps create a calmer, more relaxed vibe before sleep 😴✨

Do you mist your linens or fabrics 🌿💧, or is this a new habit to try? 🤔👇

Love love love Dr Danielle and how she uses essential oils with high performing people 💕

“Most high-performing professionals aren’t struggling because they’re doing too little—
they’re struggling because their nervous system never fully powers down.

And over time, that shows up as poor recovery, lingering inflammation, and accelerated aging.

This is where targeted support matters.

doTERRA Copaiba Softgels contains beta-caryophyllene, a plant compound that interacts directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system—specifically CB2 receptors involved in immune and inflammatory regulation.

This system plays a critical role in how the body:
• Resolves inflammation
• Regulates stress responses
• Repairs at a cellular level

When it’s supported effectively, the body doesn’t have to stay in a constant state of compensation.

Instead, it can shift into what it was designed to do— restore, regulate, and repair 🧠🪻

This is why evening use can be so impactful.
Not as a quick fix for sleep—
but as a strategic way to support nervous system downregulation and overnight recovery.

Because longevity isn’t built during the day.
It’s built in how well your body recovers at night.”

If this intrigues you, comment “YES” to learn how I help busy professionals breathe easier and improve how you show up in work and life🌿

DIY Body Wash

Body wash is something you use daily 🚿🧼, so it makes sense to know what’s in it 👀📋

Here’s a simple version you can mix yourself 👇✨

🧼 ½ cup unscented castile soap

💧 4 tbsp vegetable glycerin

🥥 3 tbsp fractionated coconut oil

🍊 10 drops essential oil (Citrus Bliss 🍊, Peppermint 🌿❄️, Grapefruit 🍊, Citrus Bloom 🪻or Lime 🍈 all work great)

Add everything to an 8 oz glass pump bottle 🫙

Shake lightly before each use 🔄 to blend.

It lathers well 🫧, smells fresh 🌿🍊, and skips the synthetic fragrance 🚫🧪

And if you’d rather not DIY 😅, the doTERRA Spa Body Wash 🛍️✨ is a great ready-made option

Fun fact: it also works as a bubble bath 🛁🫧

DIY Foaming Hand Wash

Store-bought foaming hand soap runs out fast, is expensive, and has ALL KINDS OF CRAP in it under the "fragrance" category of ingredients that doesn't have to be disclosed and is a source of hormone disruption, skin irritation and more! 💸

Making your own is honestly SUPER simple and fun for pennies 🙌

You’ll need: 👇

🧼 2 tsp unscented castile soap or onGuard cleaner concentrate
🥥 1 tbsp fractionated coconut oil
🫧 1/2 tsp glycerin (can omit but makes suds & great for skin)
🍋 10- 20 drops of your favorite essential oil
💧 Water

Add all ingredients but water to a foaming soap dispenser ✨

Slowly fill the rest with water 💧, leaving space for the pump
Screw the lid on, tip side to side gently to mix without creating a lot of suds, and it’s ready to use ✔️

That’s it 🙌 Your kids could do this and maybe you can train your pet to 😂🐶. You could also use this recipe for a really gentle body wash and just use the castille soap instead of the onGuard.

And if DIY isn’t your thing 😅, you can always grab the ready-made onGuard or Citrus Bloom Foaming Hand Soap concentrate 🛍️✨ and call it a day without buying more single use plastics 🌎

Are you refilling bottles at home ♻️💚 ?

This is a brain power list.

10 Plants Your Brain Was Built to Recognize 🌿

To function at its peak, your brain requires specific molecular "keys" that we often ONLY find in nature.

These 10 power-plants support your neurochemistry 🧠

🪻Lavender: The "Molecular Brake." Modulates GABA receptors to quiet the stress response and promote emotional safety. 💜

🌿Rosemary: The "Memory Molecule." Inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine to sharpen focus and speed up recall. 🌿

🫚Turmeric: The "Neuro-Protector." Curcumin supports a healthy inflammatory response in the brain and boosts BDNF (brain growth factor). 🧡

🫜Valerian Root: The "Sleep Architect." Encourages deep, restorative transitions into the parasympathetic state for better rest. 💤

🥬Mint: The "Alertness Anchor." Increases oxygen flow to the brain and heightens sensory awareness.

🥬Spanish Sage: The "Cognitive Catalyst." Research shows it significantly enhances word recall and executive function. 🍃

🫚Ginseng: The "Adaptogen." Helps the HPA-axis (stress center) adapt to mental fatigue and physical demands. ✨

🫐Blueberries: The "Brain Berries." Anthocyanins protect neurons from oxidative stress and support brain-cell communication.

🍇Gotu Kola: The "Nerve Tonic." Known for supporting mental clarity and the structural integrity of neural tissue. 🧠

🌴Ginkgo Biloba: The "Circulation Specialist." Enhances micro-circulation to the brain, ensuring your neurons get the fuel they need.

You don't need a lab to support your mental wellness; you just need to return to the source. When we align our biology with these plant compounds, we stop fighting our brains and start fueling them.

Dust has a way of showing up five minutes after you just cleaned 😅🧹

In a large bowl 🥣, combine the water 💧, olive oil 🫒, vinegar 🍶, and Lemon oil 🍋

Add the cloths 🧽 and let them soak until fully saturated 💦✨

Wring each one out well 💪, roll them up tightly 🔄, and store in an airtight container 🫙

When they start to dry out 😅, just lightly dampen them with water 💧 and they’re ready again 🙌✨

Are you team reusable ♻️💚 or still reaching for disposables? 🧻👇

Once you really start checking labels, it’s wild what’s hiding in everyday cleaners.

Option 1:

¼ cup white vinegar

1 ¾ cups water
