Relaxation rollers have been one of the most sought after aromatherapy items - and for good reason!

They are petite and easy to take on the go, allowing you to enjoy aromatherapy and the benefits of improving stress during your day.

And while I have a couple of "go to" formulations for these, they are completely customizable! So many essential oils have an affinity for the nervous system and emotions, so I am able to create blends based on individual needs and preferences.

Client Success Story:

I created this product blend for a pediatric consultation client who was experiencing skin irritation, the worst on the back of her neck.

She had a fairly new diagnosis of an endocrine disorder and suspected gluten intolerance. (Both of which could have played a role in her skin irritation).

Her parents had been using an over the counter eczema cream, which was marketed for babies, to try and help manage the itching and irritation. Unfortunately the over the counter cream caused a burning sensation and they saw no improvement on her skin.

Once they began to apply the skin soothing cream I created she not only felt relief, but experienced no burning with application and the integrity of her skin was drastically improved within days. The before and after photos are incredible (swipe through!) and make me so grateful that I am able to help support clients with aromatherapy.

*Note: Her endocrinologist was aware and on board with this supportive measure. Additionally, during their consultation we talked about her likely gluten sensitivity and I was happy to provide tips, recipes and recommendations. Additionally we talked about sleep, stress and relaxation techniques.

Consultations are holistic at the core so we always deep dive into all the things!

It's been awhile since I've shared an Essential Oil of the Week!

Peppermint seemed an appropriate choice since I've created a few different products lately containing peppermint, to help support my clients experiencing GI related symptoms.

Such a versatile oil!

Made a new batch of face serum!

I like to switch up the blend a little each time but always am sure to utilize essential oils and carriers that are anti inflammatory and support mature skin/fine lines and wrinkles 🌿

Are you new to essential oils and not sure where to start?

Using a diffuser is a great introduction and gives you all of the benefits without having to use any topically, if you're not ready to do that yet.

In addition to having your home or car smell wonderful without any toxic fragrances, you can adjust blends to your needs. Relaxation, uplifting/mood boosting, antiviral/antibacterial, you name it!

In fact, just the other week, one of our kiddos has nasal congestion and sinus pressure. For three nights in a row while she slept I diffused a blend of:

1. Tea tree (antiviral/antibacterial)

2. Eucalyptus (decongestant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral/antibacterial)

After those nights, she felt significantly better and her symptoms resolved after just another day or so.

**We of course take other helpful measures when someone in the house feels a cold coming on (such as taking zinc/elderberry, prioritizing rest, and very low added sugar intake, to name a few), but diffusing oils are a must have for us!

Clary Sage is quite the powerhouse 💪🏻

With an affinity for many of the body’s systems, there are so many great ways to utilize clary sage for your individual needs.

I love this oil in my Relaxation Roller recipe too!

**Clary sage is not recommended for use while pregnant.

Just Ingredients protein powder is HANDS DOWN my absolute favorite. Incredibly clean ingredients, never gives me a stomach ache and you would not believe the smooth, creamy texture. Worth every penny!

I notice such a difference in my energy and how long I stay full when I prioritize protein - especially in the morning! In addition to blending in milk or smoothies, I've also added their protein to pancakes and muffins - so many possibilities 🙌

My girls have been loving essential oil salt scrubs lately!

After asking to purchase brands from the store that had a laundry list of ingredients and synthetic fragrances, I encouraged them to make their own at home with me.

Himalayan pink salt, some coconut or avocado oil, plus your essential oil(s) of choice, creates a wonderful scrub that not only is fun to make but is also completely clean!

If anyone wants me to share on stories how we create these, I can always do that!

Pausing during your day to deep breathe and relax your mind can be a powerful tool in decreasing stress and improving productivity.

Have you ever tried 'box breathing'?

While visualizing a box or square, breathe in for the count of 4 (visualizing traveling up side 1), then hold the breath for a count of 4 (going across side 2), let your breath out slowly for the count of 4 (along side 3), and finally holding the breath once more (for side 4).

This is a great exercise for children as well!

I thought it would be fun to highlight one essential oil per week to share some of its properties and best uses 🌿

Eucalyptus is a great oil, and as you can imagine, is so helpful for the respiratory system. *This oil should be used with caution in children under 5 years of age, ensuring it’s properly diluted and never applied directly to the mouth/nose or on the face.

Eucalyptus has shown antibacterial, antiviral and anti inflammatory properties. It’s helpful with congestion when dealing with colds or the flu, and can be supportive for asthma.

In addition to respiratory support, Eucalyptus can also be beneficial for muscle aches and pains, or sprains.

All essential oils have an affinity for the nervous system and emotions, and with Eucalyptus you can expect an uplifting and refreshed feeling that stimulates the mind and can aid in concentration.

Hope this was helpful! Feel free to leave any questions below!

If you're looking for ways to move towards cleaner products in your home, without harsh chemicals and endocrine disrupting ingredients, switching laundry detergents is a great place to start!

You use it multiple times per week, and your clothing is on your and your family's skin all day, every day. So, what you choose to wash in is a big deal.

We have personally loved Molly's Suds for several years now! I was a little concerned about using a powder at first, since I had always purchased liquid, but it has been so great. I enjoy their citrus scent, but there are several others to select from as well.

I'll also tell you, that after using a detergent without synthetic fragrances for so long, I can REALLY pick up on how strong other detergents can be - it's wild, we just don't realize how potent those synthetic fragrances are when we're used to them!

Thank you Reader's Digest for the Safest Overall Laundry Detergent award! 🥇 Our original Laundry Powder is formulated with only four earth-derived active plant-based ingredients - making it a safer and more effective choice for the whole family! 💜
