The Oil Craze!

I started using essential oils back in August and I was slow getting into the practice of using them .Its kind of a learning curve, but its also so much fun! I just have to say my all time favorite oil to date is Thieves. I always dread cold and flu season and I am always looking for ways to prevent illness and not just treat it. Thieves is amazing. I have been using it pretty much daily since the middle of September and I just have to say IT WORKS. How do I use it you ask? Well there are three ways.

Topical~ I mix with a carrier oil (currently using evoo bc my coconut oil remains pretty solid this time of year) I put it in a roller ball and apply to the bottom of our feet before going to a germy place. I.E. church nursery.

Diffuse~ We diffuse in our home diffuser from Young Living. We usually do a few drops in water. Sometimes combined with Purification or Orange which smells extra yummy.

Ingesting~ I love to ingest oils in a hot cup or tea or a teaspoon of local honey. I do this daily and sometimes twice daily.

Love me some Thieves

It's a Marathon Not a Sprint right?

Welcome to my first post. I have been in the past what you would call "a blog failure" I have started three blogs over the past five years and I have been horrible with keeping them updated. I want to turn over a new leaf so to speak and succeed at blogging for a change, Because I love to write and writing has been an outlet for me my whole life. I am ready to put my passion to good use.
The idea for this blog came from my desire to make a change that I stuck with long enough to actually see a long term transformation. So many times I find myself saying "I need to learn more about the chemicals in the household products I use or I need to learn how to eat more cleanly".. After I eat a cupcake. If anyone knows me they know its kind of how I roll. I am laid back, maybe a little too laid back because self discipline is something I am not great at. That is all about to change though. I realize it won't happen overnight, but I am about to start living my life my more intentionally. In all aspects. Starting with what I put in my body. It will be a steady change and may be slow at first but its happening and I invite all of you along on my journey. :-)

P.S. I won't be running a marathon anytime soon.. ;-)
