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.

Bad Moms Brownies
I am a Hallmark Christmas movie enthusiast. I used to laugh at the idea of all the sappiness, but then I got sucked into the first one I dared to watch.

Hawaii Diffuser Blends
My trip to Hawaii at the beginning of this summer with my family was so amazing. I loved every minute of it. This even includes the 11-hour plane ride from Boston to Honolulu. I literally just there and decompressed. I didn't really read, watch a program, or nap. I let it all go as we… Continue reading Hawaii Diffuser Blends
Two Outdoor Sprays: Deterrent and After Sun

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

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.
