i was chatting with a friend the other day
about my essential oil heart eyes.
she asked, if i really did use them all time?
she wondered how i was using them?
and for what specifically?
i gushed a bit (okay, maybe a lot).
i told her i'd send her a note and show her some of the ways.
i thought it might be fun to share with you guys too.
so with a cup of coffee in hand
and that oily combo up there diffusing in the background
i'll share my 1st oily instabits.
peppermint & stress away for productivity & tackling to-do lists.
 |
| lemon oil in my water...refreshing and boosting. helps make sure i drink lots more water too! |
 |
| frankincense & lavender...reflection, relaxation and restfulness. making bed times extra sweet...and chills we parents out too at end of long day. |
 |
| brain boost...peppermint, lemon and copaiba for my girl's backpack. i have one too in my desk - a favorite break in between conference calls & car pools. |
 |
| chill out combo... frankincense & copaiba diffused on a rainy afternoon. just so warm & inviting - and keeps us focused & thoughtful. |
 |
| pollen punch...lemon, lavender, peppermint & copaiba. clearing my allergy eyes & foggy - smells so so good too. |
 |
| germs be gone...thieves, purification & lemon. rolled on little feet & backs to boost immunity... and EVERY time i heard that a classmate puked at school. |
 |
| cough care...r.c. & peppermint. a great combo for battling that pesky cold air cough that bennett gets after early spring lax practices under the lights. |
 |
| gus is cute & is spoiled...purification in the living room. one of the kids favorite chores is spraying the couches...and it's chemical free! |
 |
| lots oflaundry love...lavender & purification (lots of other combos too). an easy transition towards chemical free laundry...diy detergent & dryer balls. |
 |
| upset tummies...digize on the belly helps keep the icks at bay. and yes...i took a pic of oils & our potty. |
 |
| tweaked ankle...panaway for those days when i get a bit too competitive on the turf. this has been a major pain reliever...that smells delightful. |
 |
| my most favorite mama time-out combo...lavender & stress away. pause. roll. pause. breath. pause. feel. pause. clear. pause. reset. |
 |
| hike & tension relief...peppermint, pan away & copaiba. originally for wes' weekend camping backpack, but now he keeps it in the console of his truck for a lil' commute recoup after day in the office. |
 |
| a lil' something for a mama w/babe in belly. one for nausea & rest. one for immunity & germs. and one of my new favorite ways to spread some love to dear ones. |
 |
| a lil' something for this mama who may have been hooked on motrin. thieves for immunity. peppermint for headaches. and when combined a great refresh & reset |
as you can see, i'm certainly all heart eyes for these little bottles of goodness.
it looks like i've been taking almost as many pics as a i do of my kids and chickens.
but seriously - it's because they really are such a big part of our days.
and these are just the ones i'm using from the starter kit...
there are so many other amazing ones
(clarity, cedarwood, rosemary, peace & calming, orange, bergamot...i could go on and on!)
wes and the kids got me my starter kit as a gift last year
(maybe i dropped a few subtle hints).
a gift that just keeps on giving.
the benefits, resources, community and built in personal time out love
for me as a woman, mom, wife, friend
has been so incredibly rewarding.
so...
maybe you want to drop a lil' mother's day hint to your crew?
maybe you want to show a lil' mother's day love to your own mom?
maybe you want to learn a bit more?
send me a message or reach out anytime.
xoxo,
your oily sister
