The number 1 thing that will change your life instantly is choosing.

Decisions are easy and instant.

It's the ruminating and procrastinating that takes years and creates undue stress!

The health benefits of using top grade essential oils is far and wide and often dismissed by many because they are unaware of the scientific studies or because they use cheap oils purchased from the store that have been adulterated or diluted and yield little to no health benefits. (They are cheap for a reason!).

SUMMARY
A publicized University of California, Irvine (UCI) study published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience in July 2023 found that nightly exposure to essential oils for two hours over six months led to a significant 226% increase in cognitive capacity (measured by a memory test) in older adults, aged 60 - 85, compared to a control group.

The 7 essential oils that were rotated through during the study were:
Rose
Orange
Eucalyptus
Lemon
Peppermint
Rosemary
Lavender

Michael Leon, the study's lead author, noted that memory improvement levels were "far greater than anything that has been reported for healthy older adults".

The findings suggest that using essential oils as a non-invasive olfactory enrichment technique could potentially be an easy way to strengthen memory and stave off dementia by leveraging the direct link between our sense of smell and the brain's memory circuits.

I am honoured to help you and your loved ones source the top grade essential oils that I love, know and trust. Shoot me a message and I can answer your questions and help you get started on a path to better health and well-being naturally.

There's something about these bendy, leaning, kinda haggard from life looking trees that resonates with me. It reminds me that nature doesn’t need to look all prim and proper to flourish and be beautiful. We see so much of that false bravado on social media, dont we? Now there's AI adding to the fake imagery we are seeing everywhere. I'll take bendy, leaning, and that well lived in look any day of the week because it's the real truth of living this life. It's a truth that doesn’t require that we feel shame for simply being. It's a truth that says it's okay to experience struggle and ease, gentleness and power, flexibility and structure, growth and groundedness. It's a truth that let's us know we are part of the heavens and planted on earth and that we require sun and water, and micro nutrients in the soil to thrive. We, like the trees, are woven into the tapestry of Life Itself, living and breathing and communicating and being and providing shelter and shade for ourselves and others. What a beautiful life it is when we are open to the joys of being like a bendy, leaning tree that is simply free to be it's authentic self.

Much love,
Jan

The area that most people tend to waste a lot of energy and deplete their energy reserves unnecessarily is in the emotional domain. It's not only the big emotional reactions that deplete our energy, our mindset and emotions like impatience or worry that run in the background slowly and quietly deplete us as well.

We could all use a little more sunshine!

How about sunshine in a chewable tablet?

When the days get shorter and sunlight gets scarce, our bodies often feel it — lower energy, mood dips, weaker immunity, and less motivation.

I take Young Living Super D every day because it's packed with clean, all natural plant-based vitamin D3, organic lime peel oil, and lichens. No synthetic ingredients pretending to be the real deal here.

Super D helps:

• Support a strong immune system

• Boost mood and energy naturally

• Keep bones and muscles strong even when sunlight is limited

Think of it as bottled sunshine — designed to help your body thrive through the darker months. ✨

☀️ Pro tip: Pair Super D with a few minutes of natural morning light and movement for an even bigger boost.

We think that stress reduction requires an hour of meditation, a 2 hour soak in the tub or an expensive holiday abroad. These things are all nice, and yes, they help reduce stress.

Effective, on-the-go stress reduction can be implemented in 1, 2, 3, 5 minute segments when using proper techniques.

It's often the day-to-day subtle emotional shifts that drain us the most. We become impatient, annoyed, frustrated, sad or worried about something or someone. This inner dialog loops over and over in our mind, which drains our energy.
