Still living in those post Easter vibes 🤩

30/03/2021

Can I be honest? I’ve had no smell since January 1st thanks to the Rona 🤭 For someone that practically cooks for a living to not be able to smell in the kitchen is not ideal. I should have started this months ago but I didn’t feel the guilt until I ran across the info in a wine book I’m reading. Yes! Cork Dorks train their sense of smell, so of course I can train to get mine back and potentially make it better 🥳🥳

So how do you do Olfactory Training? Start a training regiment of smell four intense oils - rose, eucalyptus, lemon and cloves - twice a day, for three months. You can also swap out the original oils for four new oils after a period of several weeks to enhance odor discrimination, identification and sensitivity.

Even if I didn’t need to regain my sense of smell, I think I’d be starting olfactory training just to taste and experience my wine on a whole new level. Who’s with me?

POLL TIME! What is your favorite way to use Frankincense?

Personally I fell in love with its mood support properties when I was dealing with life change anxieties over 5 years ago. I loved diffusing Frankincense with Lavender and soon found I’d sleep better, I’d wake up refreshed, my mood was calm and I never really attributed the answer to Frankincense until I was a few years into using oils. I have always been grateful for this King of Oils because of its wealth of properties. That’s why I want to hear how it’s helped you in case someone else could benefit from the tip 🥰 It’s time to share the love this December!

Did you know you can receive frankincense free this month with any 200pv order? This promotion is available to new and current customers.

What am I doing with deep blue rub and a dryer ball you ask? Let me tell you!

Last Thursday night I strained my neck [while sleeping 🤭] and it’s been so tight that I couldn’t turn my neck. I tried the foam roller but my back was too tender and we have a massage/workout ball which was also too intense.. so I thought what would be softer than a tennis ball but still get into my shoulder to work out the knot? A dryer ball of course! And it’s working like a charm 👏🏻

Have you ever needed to use a tip like this? Tag a friend you know would love this idea 🥰

Am I the only one that finds this ultra-satisfying??

I know not everyone loves making there own blends but it’s therapeutic to me. Every new customer this month get a beautiful ombré roller set! DM me to get yourself started or start shopping for family since it’s almost Christmas 🥰

I get it. There’s a lot in the “air” right now so if you need a little tip:

Roll. Breathe. Repeat. And remember, you did your part.

‘It’s the season to get excited 🎶 Get all of your oils and holiday items 🎶

I’m hoping you heard that in the sing-songy voice that played in my head as I typed away.

Tell me - are you a play Christmas music after Halloween person? Or a strict must wait until after Thanksgiving??

And today was the day I discovered how simple a London Fog Latte is to make at home 🤯

Been craving a lavender latte or London fog? Have a milk frother? You’re set! Add 1 drop lavender to a dash of maple syrup in your milk to complete either drink 🥳

Who’s trying this ASAP?

I would suggest using the toothpick method for single servings as the entire drop can be fairly strong. Enjoy!

Have you heard of O.U.R.?

Operation Underground Railroad or O.U.R. for short, was started in 2013 by former Homeland Security officer Tim Ballard and has gathered the world’s experts in extraction operations and also in anti-child trafficking efforts to bring an end to child slavery. The O.U.R. team consists of former CIA, past and current law enforcement officers, as well as highly skilled operatives to aid in coordinated identification and rescue. Once the victims are rescued there is a comprehensive process including justice for perpetrations and also the rehabilitation of the survivors. In the past six years, O.U.R. has rescued 3,800 victims and assisted in the arrests of more than 2,100 traffickers around the world.
Another mission of O.U.R. is to get private citizens and organizations involved to rise up and help through donations, volunteering and also through training of knowing the signs of human trafficking so one can intervene if they believe they are witnessing it occuring.
O.U.R. is an organization that dōTERRA has partnered with through the Healing Hands Foundation and is one that is so near and dear to our hearts.
Please join the fight and against human trafficking by visiting https://ourrescue.org/ today!

Not even two minutes into being home and this little [overly excited] one fell and scraped her knee while helping me unload the car. If this doesn’t scream how necessary Helichrysum is in every household, I don’t know what would! We have always relied on the pure bottle of oil but having it in a convenient touch roller is great for on the go, quick applications.

Helichrysum is the best for bruises, scrapes, bloody noses, and the list goes on!!! Tell me, do you have this oil in your household yet? Or are you excited for the affordable, convenient option?

The Reason Behind Essentially a Mom

Hello! I am Brittany and when you boil it all down, I am essentially a mom. I strive to keep Jesus at the center of my family, love being a partner to my husband, search for natural ways of healing my family, chow down on organic eats and am a fond do-it-yourselfer. Beyond all these things I am an avid researcher, always looking out for what is best for my family and in turn sharing my finds with all of you.

I am a large activist for natural healing in my household. A couple years back, when my husband and I found that we weren’t easily becoming pregnant, I decided to throw out every over the counter and prescription medicine I could find because I was tired of relying on products that masked the problem versus fixing it and it concerned me there could be a link to infertility. After ditching all the pharmaceuticals I ventured into a very nutrient dense diet with the book Nourishing Traditions in hand that a friend sent to me – one supported by the Weston A Price foundation.

We turned our health around and have never felt better. We ate what was in season, started investigating any labels on all products we would buy, purchased meat from local farms and markets and our eyes were opened to a world of feeling and looking great. The only issue was I still hadn’t found myself pregnant yet. At 25 years old, I thought, what could be wrong with me – I’m healthy, I’m young.. what could it be? After a full year of trying to conceive, I decided to try Chinese medicine and put acupuncture to the test… and ta-da! Not even a month of acupuncture and there I was, expecting my first child.

I was head over heals with the fact I’d ventured into this new stage of life. However, the questions started racing through my mind, I know I can care for myself but what about the health of a child, who’s brand new at that? I threw away modern meds, but what if he gets a fever or stuffed up or I just plain don’t know what’s wrong but want to help him? Just like that, I found essential oils. I had dabbled here and there with them but never researched heavily into what they could do for me and how to go about purchasing them. It was like fate when a friend introduced me to a line of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils and I’ve never turned back. Our household uses them in every aspect and I am so excited to share with you how they’ve helped and the many uses they contain. Interested?
