• FREE Facebook Essential Oils 101 Class – Online on Wed, Feb 25 at 8pm CST!

  • How are Essential Oils Made?

    Attention do-it-yourself’ers!   When you make things, are you hoping to save money and have a better product?  (read: less chemicals)    When I got into essential oils, it didn’t take me long to go down the “I wonder if I can do this at home” path. The short answer? “Yes, I could.  But unless the zombie apocalypse has started, I won’t.” Want to know why?   I can’t do it better than Young Living!   While the overall process looks simple, it is actually SUPER complicated!  At Young Living, their employees are trained on the distillation process for 6-7 YEARS before they are released to distill on their own!…

  • Essential Oils Cases: Ideas for Portability

    This has probably happened to you too.  I’ve been out and about and something happens.  A bee sting, an ant bite, an upset tummy, or worse.  And I need my oils right then! There are several different options for having your oils with you.  While you’re still building up your stash, the 5/8 dram bottles can be helpful.  You just add your oil of choice to each bottle.  My challenge has been that they leak sometimes.  This hasn’t been a widely-reported issue, so my guess is that it’s user-error. 🙂  Make sure and close your bottles well! I like this keychain case with the 5/8 dram bottles.  Personally, I love…

  • Essential Oil Display and Storage Ideas

    My kitchen counter was overflowing…with essential oils.  So I started keeping some in the bathroom cupboard.  But then I was forever going back and forth between the two places, looking for the oil I needed and forgetting where it was. For Christmas, my hubby got me the perfect gift for an essential oil aficionado like me: a display rack!  I LOVE this rack because it a) looks pretty and b) holds all my oils!!!  I can find an oil when I need it without searching all over the house!  I am excited to share this pretty photo of my oil rack with you! Isn’t it pretty??   It’s actually a…

  • Are Your Adrenals Dragging?

    Join us for a live stream, beginning tonight, Wed 10/9, at 8pm!  Live Stream: Are Your Adrenals Dragging? I don’t know how many times I have asked my doctor, talked to a friend, read a book, or searched the internet for ways to help my adrenals. Our adrenals are small but busy glands producing hormones that regulate our body systems.  Their most important role is helping us deal with stress. Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff says that, “The adrenal glands of a person who lives a stress-filled life are constantly secreting cortisol in an effort to deal with the stress.”   This can wreak havoc on both our hormones and immune system. Adrenal…
