I'm continuing with my theme on sleep. I'm trying to establish some new healthy habits in my life, and sleep is one of the top priorities for me. I type this with some slight eye rolling at myself because I'm in between night shifts at the moment. Did I nap less than I should have?… Continue reading Sleep Struggles in Perimenopause

Fall Diffusing
Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com Welcome to fall, one of the best smelling times of the year. Diffusing essential oils is a fantastic way to capture the magic of fall in aroma form. Ditch the candles (and their toxins!) and make an easy switch to diffusing. Not only will you fill the air with… Continue reading Fall Diffusing

So Helpful Sleep Roller
This is my favorite essential oil roller to make to help me sleep and to calm my racing thoughts! I roll it on my chest, wrists, and behind my ears before going to bed at night.

Diffuse Your Way to Dreamland
I'm continuing with the theme of "Sleep" because it has become a disrespected component of good health (guilty as charged right here, too!) And of course, it's just odd that we do that because it could be one of the easiest to fix!

None of which started at the usual school morning time, so there was no need for the early alarm, and in turn, allowed them to continue… Continue reading We Make Melatonin Later!

And this bundle is STILL GOING STRONG - 6 of… Continue reading Simple Changes

The color of sunshine You will have continuous beach memories when you create this roller. This is a combination of Lavender, Tangerine, and Spearmint which individually say "summer" but not "sandy." Together, however, their combination gives off plenty of shore vibes. I have been using mine frequently, so looks like I'm soon ready for a… Continue reading Sandy Shore Roller
Diffuse and De-Stress
Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands during times of physical or psychological stress. This was helpful for our ancestors when trying to recover from outrunning a saber tooth tiger. They ran, they survived, and then they rested because a recovery time is necessary to help the cortisol levels return to normal. Stress… Continue reading Diffuse and De-Stress
