Essential Oils

I'm not an expert when it comes to essential oils. In fact, since I began to use them several years ago, I have made a lot of mistakes. I did not have anyone to help me or to answer my questions, but I was determined to achieve the results that I knew were possible. Thankfully, I have experienced those results, and I want you to achieve your own health goals with essential oils. My hope is that if I share my top 5 rookie mistakes to avoid when using essential oils, perhaps you can finder greater success, even faster than...

I have never considered myself a “crunchy” or "natural" sort of person.  In fact, as a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, fully immersed into the medical model of thinking, I was quite scornful of anyone who would even consider alternative therapies.  I'm embarrassed to admit that never once did I ever consider that many of these natural options could possibly be effective!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has to deal with this sort of thing! There’s always a perfectly “legit,” very logical reason (in a 3 and 5 year old’s mind!) for this disaster – I’m going to be honest, I don’t even remember what it was because I was so mad!  I came home from work one morning to find at least half of Clark and Luci’s stuffed animals and dolls colored in with markers.  It was one of those times where you just have to take a little time out before reacting, if you know what I mean!  All I...

We are kind of obsessed with essential oils recently. Lemon essential oil is one of our favorites.  It was one of the first essential oils I ever used – probably because of it’s refreshing, invigorating scent.  You can’t help but love it!  I began to diffuse it every morning as an enjoyable, stimulating way to start our homeschool workday.  You simply can not be in a bad mood when you smell lemon and experience the power of lemon essential oil! Lemon essential oil is probably best known for it’s cleaning abilities, but the benefits go far beyond that!  Lemon essential oil contains large amounts of d-limonene, which...

I had a defining moment several weeks ago. After working a night shift, I was taking a nap and my husband was watching the kiddos. While cleaning the bathroom, he got a phone call and went to answer it. While he was on the phone, our sweet, sweet 5 yr old son decided to help him clean the bathroom. He took our (what I now know to be toxic) spray cleaner and covered every surface of the bathroom, including his eyes and face. Knowing he had done something he should not have done, he ran and hid. When I woke...
