The ONE Thing You Need to Stay Cool in the Heat!
No, I’m not talking about a pool! Quite a bit of maintenance and if you’re at home you can just put your feet in ice water!

The BEST Natural Bug Repellent!
You’re lying in bed, almost asleep, when you hear that dreaded high pitched buzz moving around your head… The infamous mosquitos have arrived!

WHY Live a Natural & “Oily” Lifestyle?
You hear that you should live more naturally, and it kinda makes sense, but you don’t exactly know WHY it’s important. Why change how you’re doing things in life if there’s nothing “wrong”? You may not feel AMAZING mentally & physically and that means your body is not at its most optimal health! You don’t […]
How to Boost Your Immune System Naturally!
You’re told over and over that you should boost your immune system, but how can you actually do that?

Your stomach hurts already & there’s no magic “go away” button; even in the “traditional” medicinal world! I’m going to start with a story here, but […]
Essential Oils vs Fragrance Oils
You may be thinking “is there actually a difference?” and that’s exactly what I used to think!

Fragrance oils are simply synthetic compounds that have been meshed together to smell a certain way; not […]
Natural After Sun Care for Sunburns!
Pale redhead with freckles here; I’ve dealt with my fair share of sunburns! You know, that burn where even the sheets are painful (unless you don’t use a sheet; apparently that’s a thing!). Those after sun gels/lotions you see on the shelves? They may FEEL soothing at first and some even work a little to […]

Now that I’ve talked about HOW EOs work and WHY you would want to use them (plus a bazillion other things!), how about we talk about what these magical drops actually ARE! Essential oils are the “essence” of a plant. Ok, talk to ya next week! Oh, you’d like more than a cryptic 8 word […]
