I admit that I’m a coffee fanatic! I love a good Americano! But there are times where I order the Honey Citrus Mint hot tea from Starbucks, and it’s like a special treat. This warm beverage steeps two different types of tea bags. Then it is sweetened with honey and flavored with a splash of… Continue reading Honey Citrus Mint Tea at Home

Imbolc Essential Oils
Imbolc is the sacred midpoint between winter and spring. It’s the celebration of the return of the light and the turning over of nature from February 1st through the 3rd. There is more light in the day as the afternoon seems a bit longer with sunlight. Imbolc means “in the belly.” Traditionally, Imbolc represents the… Continue reading Imbolc Essential Oils
Using Essential Oils to Let Go and Move Forward in 2025
It’s time to set intentions for the New Year. I have the habit of shaming myself for not doing as well as I wanted to during the current year. Also, I do not take the proper time to reflect on my year. I’m too anxious from disappointment and just end up forging ahead. Sometimes, I… Continue reading Using Essential Oils to Let Go and Move Forward in 2025
The Stress of Daily Tasks
What’s your to-do list like? If you’re similar to me, it’s overflowing non-stop. I thought life was supposed to ease up as everyone got older, but I find that this is a myth. I used to be the person who had to accomplish EVERYTHING in ONE DAY on that list. And that meant no matter… Continue reading The Stress of Daily Tasks

I admit my taste buds do enjoy occasionally this modern-day soda and recall even the rarer indulgence of adding in a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream! This is truly an American icon of a beverage although it has come a… Continue reading Homemade Root Beer
The Amazing Fall Bundle
The shadows are lengthening. It is dark before 8pm now. A few leaves have changed and drift down from their branches. Many of my friends are excited for this seasonal transition. They just love fall--the weather, the spooks, the colors, and the smells. (I always need a moment every year to mourn the end of… Continue reading The Amazing Fall Bundle
Two Outdoor Sprays: Deterrent and After Sun
I recently taught an essential oils class at a local library in New Hampshire. Since it is the month of May, I kept it themed towards the approaching summer. Attendees made two sprays to support them in the warmer months: A Pest Deterrent Spray and an After Sun Spray. Make-and-Takes are my preferred choice of… Continue reading Two Outdoor Sprays: Deterrent and After Sun
Lemon (essential oil) Love
Feel joyous with Lushious Lemon Essential Oil blend! It has citrus notes but with a twist. My favorite way to use this essential oil blend is to diffuse it or to add it to my Thieves Household Cleaner in a spray bottle. I clean because I know that I should, not because I am one… Continue reading Lemon (essential oil) Love
Spring Make and Take
I had wonderful opportunity to meet new people during a "Spring Make-and-Take" at another local library. At the Plaistow Public Library, participants made three DIYs that they were able to take with them that night: Changing Seasons Roller, Cuticle Oil, and Upholstery Freshening Spray. (And I forgot to take pictures of the room and projects!)… Continue reading Spring Make and Take
