I intuitively created this blend this morning to be purposely used following my energy cleanse diffuser blend.
Here is the diffuser blend recipe with each oil and the emotional use of each oil.
2 drops – Frankincense – Truth
2 drops – Lime – Zest for Life
2 drops – Wild Orange – Abundance
1 drop – Copaiba – Unveiling
1 drop – Geranium – Love and Trust
1 drop – Peppermint – Buoyant Heart
2 drops – Lemon – Focus
After running my cleanse diffuser blend of Lemongrass and Siberian Fir, 2 drops each, it was time for this blend!
My daughter helped me gather the diffusers to fill. We have 8 diffusers in the house and I’ve got all of them running today with our various blends! We have diffusers in each bedroom, main living areas and our main bathroom.
If you have 1 or 2 diffusers, I would suggest using them in the main living areas of your home during the day and move to the bedroom for at night.
Essential oils are high frequency which is why they beautifully assist someone in transitioning from a negative feeling, experience, situation, person, to a higher vibe more positive state. Allowing you to take a step back, from being IN the moment – whatever that may be. Taking an energetic step back, allows us to detach, to some degree, emotionally and allows us to be better able to process the emotions. I personally find essential oils incredibly supportive! I am excited for the blends I have created for today, our closing of 2020!
I listened to a podcast this morning that helped shift into my 2020 closing mindset.
Yesterday, I was poorly focused on certain government decisions and “rules for thee but not me”. However I knew, as I felt resistance in my writing, that this was not how I was meant to close 2020.
This morning in listening and journaling, I heard, “Unconditional Love” mentioned many times. This is what I resonate with. This is what will collectively pull the energy of the world up and into alignment.
The truth is I do not align with corruption, in any way, shape or form. I rise above.
As we prepare for the new year, a start to 2021, a brand new chapter in our life I am reminded of the journey. With highs and lows, but certainly many more highs.
There will be challenges that arrive with 2021, but many more growth opportunities for those who are open to receive and align with what feels right, within our own soul.
While sitting in reflection this morning, these oil blends came to me and what we will be using in ALL our diffusers today in our home.
1. Cleanse – Blend of Lemongrass and Siberian Fir 2 drops each.
2. Day Blend – Blend of Frankincense, Lime, Wild Orange, Copaiba, Geranium, Peppermint, Lemon.
3. Night Blend – Blend of Peace, Roman Chamomile, Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, Red Mandarin.
4. Topical Oils – Rose, Forgive, Align
After jotting down the oils we are meant to use today, I topically applied Rose over my heart and sides of neck, Jasmine on my jaw bones, Magnolia on my wrists, Neroli down my forearms and Blue Lotus on the small of my wrists.
These blends intuitively came to me and upon looking up all of their emotional uses (after selecting the oils), they completely align with the closure of 2020 and welcoming of 2021.
I will also be purposeful in balancing all of our chakras after the cleanse diffuser blend, when my day blend is flowing.
One of the best things about our new master bedroom is the large picture window on a feature wall. Where we can look out into the greenery of our back yard and enjoy nature at it’s best.
These beautiful souls have captured our interest over the past few months since we have been living in our new bedroom. They especially caught our eye this morning and I was able to capture these images of their morning meeting from our covered deck.

The Spiritual Meaning of the Blue Jay
Blue Jay Symbolism
Based upon their behavior, blue jays are often linked to fierceness, determination, aggression, truthfulness, passion, curiosity, and loyalty. When threatened by a predator, blue jays do not hide or retreat, they go on the offensive, dive-bombing the creature in question until it retreats. As mentioned earlier, they will also imitate hawk calls to try to lure hawks away from their nests or make other predators think a hawk is near. A blue jay sighting may be calling you to reflect upon the way you strategize and respond in the face of danger.
Due to their complex webs of kinship, blue jays also represent strong social bonds. A blue jay sighting may be a call for you to reflect on your relationships. Do any of them need tending or repair? Have you taken the time to appreciate those close to you and all they do for you lately? Spotting a blue jay could simply provide you with a moment to reflect on the gratitude you have for the connections in your life, or it could represent something deeper requiring relational work.
The Blue Jay as a Messenger from Spirit
Blue jays are often associated with renewal and fertility, as they tend to drop the seeds they are hoarding for winter as often as they manage to store them. They are particularly fond of acorns, and many Celtic folk stories credit the blue jay with replanting the oak tree population in Europe thanks to the number of seeds they dropped. A blue jay sighting could mean that you are going through a period of renewal, or a very prosperous period, financially, creatively, etc.
Should a blue jay repeatedly appear outside your home, or make its home near yours, it could be a message from Spirit that you’re on the right path. Blue jays are fierce, curious, and tenacious, so one that continues to stay with you for some time is usually a sign that you are following your dreams and should continue on as you are.
What I find fascinating is that it was my husband who first noticed the blue jay’s. Being home alot more he had the perfect view of our back yard and the tv. So he has regularly admired and talked about his blue jay’s. We have looked up their spiritual meaning a few times now 🙏.
I can certainly align with the blue jay’s spiritual meaning in a few different ways in my life 💕💫🙏.
I love when life moments come into alignment with the journey in life!
As December continues on, so many of us are appreciative of our growth over this past year, but also ready to welcome 2021 with open arms!
So much to be grateful for, truly. For us, our custom renovated home is beautifully finishing. Our safe space and haven that has warmed our hearts this year of goals, dreams and plans coming to life exactly how they should!
A couple week’s ago someone reached out to me about my successful weight loss journey. One I am so proud to share. One however that is also similar to 2020. There were many ups and downs, dark to the light and sometimes back again, getting in touch with my true heart and soul and honoring whatever that may be.
There is no “quick fix” for anything in life. Its figuring out how to align with your truth, your best self and living in truth, an honest life.
For me 2021 will be much like our life in 2020, with the habits, lifestyle we have already created and shifted within our home.
Healthcare for us begins here, holistically in our home. I have had my share of health challenges, ones I am grateful for because they have shaped me to who I am today, real life experience of how I have shifted my perception of relying on someone else to “fix me” to knowing deep down what is truly needed and sourcing that. To being at peace for asking for help. Not one of us truly knows it all. Most important educating myself and our family on all of this importance.
In January 2021 it marks 4 years since when I committed to a healthier lifestyle and relationship with food. Honestly one that has been a comfort for as many years as I can remember. One that still can trigger me, but I am working on.
Yesterday I enjoyed downtime to set up my planner and journal for 2021. It’s fun to look back on what I have achieved, even when there admittedly has been highs and lows. The goal isn’t to have any challenges in life, it’s to be at a place where the challenges remind me of what I need to do to stay level and process whatever might be happening.
As much as I love the Christmas holiday season, it can feel quite overwhelming with about 2 weeks of being “on the go” to various places. 2020 has reminded us that we are truly at peace from within first and this is how 2021 must be shaped as we progress into the new year.
With even more growth for us all to grace our presence in 2021 I feel strength in the habits and lifestyle I have created and continue to shift with. Let go of any rigid “control”, if 2020 has shown us anything it’s that we must learn to go with the waves of life. My morning and evening routines will not be the same each day and that’s ok. As long as I honor what my heart and soul needs and do that daily, I am on the right path!
I am truly grateful for my dailygreatness journal, it’s a daily piece of me! If you haven’t chosen a planner for 2021 yet, check this out and enjoy the 10% off code too!!! This planner helps me shape my day as myself, wife, mother and business working woman! Its truly remarkable how getting things out on paper with a pen (or pens, Merry Christmas to me 🤗) can feel and assist in the alignment of life. I am also feeling a tug on my inner child heart strings. Incredible healing for all, if you choose to step IN!
Reflecting on the past year and all that it’s meant, shaping the new year and what it will bring to my life. As my journal says… “The Best Is Yet To Come” 🙏💕
Over the next few days I will allow myself to go deeper, to meditate, get my thoughts out on paper, acknowledge true gratitude for life where I am now and design energetically my 2021.
As we approach 2021, knowledge is power. 2020 truly showed us that, hindsight IS 2020. Many eyes were opened. Individuals choosing empowered health, to step into the light and claim ownership of their health and wellbeing, mentally and physically. I understand the road still has some bumps and turns we will experience, however true peace and love will envelope us all in 2021 and I for one am ready!!! 💫
This Christmas has been much like the year 2020… different.
When we would normally gather with multiple sides of the families, on various days, homes filled with people, food, love and laughter. This year was celebrated on a much smaller, simpler scale.
It’s been a bittersweet moment for me. I am deeply sentimental. Time with loved ones means alot to me. I am passionate about capturing these memories also with my camera. The family connections are truly priceless. Nonetheless our celebration was beautiful. Time enjoyed the morning watching the kids open gifts, both thrilled with what they received. Drank our tea and coffee as we opened our stockings.
There is something truly magical about Christmas. I still get absolutely revved up and excited for the Christmas season. Having kids brings a whole different meaning to Christmas.
What Christmas has been for us this year has been connection – especially for the 4 of us, relaxed and laid back. A much slower pace to absorb the true reason for the season, which has been awesome!
I am so grateful for our family and those who are in our everyday life. I am grateful we have made the best of this Christmas and it certainly will be one to remember for many reasons! 💕
Merry Christmas from our family to you and yours 🎄💕❄
2020 has been a lot of things. What I am taking out of this, is how it brought an abundance of time, clarity, organization, personal development and fun to my (our life).
Yes it’s been much less “busy”. Much less people. Weekends with plans of being home.
Its brought a whole new realization in life of what truly is important. What each of us and together value and appreciate. Back to the basics.
There’s been resistance. Is it fair, no. I especially feel for so many businesses shut down. There is so much of this “current life” that is straight up not fair. But that’s not what this blog is about! 🙂
I am SO stoked to see people choosing empowered health. Choosing to invest in their health and understand the importance of this!
For the past couple years, amid our major home renos I took a step back from actively building my wellness business. I chose to first support myself and my family and also provide support to my current customers who I knew I could continue supporting with my time constraints. My wellness community, however has continued to naturally grow and for that I am so proud.
I am so proud and happy for people when they make that decision to take a step up. To step into EMPOWERED HEALTH! Rising above the “norm” of what many of us have known to be for years.
If I was honest, I would say thinking of making significant shifts then (over 10 yrs ago), of what I talk about now. My gosh I would have felt totally overwhelmed. So I took baby steps, I took the initiative to learn about what my body needed and figured out how to get it. I am a fact investigator. But more importantly, I now base my health and my family’s health on HOW we feel! No longer “treating” symptoms, but aligning with getting to the actual root of WHY!
I love that people are seeing so much value with prioritizing their health. Last month doTERRA, the essential oil company I am aligned with, had an awesome BOGO Sale! It was an awesome opportunity to buy 5 oils and get 5 for free!!! All of which had amazing physical and emotional health benefits, especially for this time of year!
It’s awesome to see people realizing it’s so much more than what the government is telling us to do. Hand washing, which we should always have been doing, wearing masks and physically distancing. Hearing from people who are realizing this isn’t what keeps us healthy!
What keeps us healthy is LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Choosing to eat real foods, drink water. Get sleep, relaxation, organization within our homes, learning to listen to our body. Treat the root problem vs the symptoms.
Actions and consequences. Truly.
For example, when I began with Holistic Health, prior if I had a headache, the norm is reach for an over the counter med. I can admit, I took these far to regular, many days it was daily to deal with the pain and discomfort I was living with and in. Now, if I get a headache or feel anything within my body, I do a body scan to figure out WHY. There is always a root cause whether its physical or emotional. Also remember, physical also means what we eat, drink and products we use in our home which can cause a physical response.
Being a virgo, perhaps it comes naturally to want to know, research, learn. For years however, I ignored this longing, deep down and followed the “norm”. Im so excited for those of us who have risen up and continue to rise up. Whether you have been on this journey for years or are just beginning today – Kudo’s to you for prioritizing your health, the journey is so well worth it!!!
If you are looking to get started I can happily direct you in a couple ways.
Essential oils are in an unregulated industry, which means this puts the onus on you the customer to do your own due diligence and research. For this I completely trust doTERRA Essential Oils. My family has been using them for over 6 years and they have helped transform and re-shape our everyday life and health in our home.
My new FAV store in town – The Eco Den. Someone who I met when the store opened and trust her opinion greatly with her background in nursing. They also ship across Canada!!!
Start by looking at ingredients on the products you buy. Especially anything that goes IN or ON your body. (Hint even anything with a “smell” to it)
Cook real food – avoid food in pre-packaged boxes or pre-cooked. Also beware of ingredients on even “real” food that are used as preservatives ie hams.
HOW do you feel when you eat, drink or use a product. If you were like me over 6 years ago, I ignored how I felt and powered through – this is not how our bodies or minds are meant to be treated. Take this time to really get in touch even more deep within and listen to those gentle pulls on your heart. Commit to doing a deep dive within yourself. A planner and a journal are helpful for this! I highly recommend the DailyGreatness Planner and have a 10% off code for you! Meditating can also be helpful with this, to bring yourself into alignment.
Today an incredible astrological event happened as Saturn and Jupiter met in the sky.
The past week I have felt, at times, intense pressure, migraine headache effects, intense desire to reset and cleanse in a variety of ways in my life.
Last weekend, we literally set the intention to do what our hearts and souls needed. Which involved going within and honoring that.
This past weekend was productive in a few ways. Cleansing off things from the to-do list, purging and organizing.
Today, although cloudy and dreary for most of the day, and me mistakenly thinking today was going to be a long day of daylight 😂 then remembering that is in June! I feel energy shifting. I’ve been feeling energy shifting.
This evening, I applied an oil protocol to both of the kids, myself and my husband by Desiree Mangandog who is an energy and oil blending genius! Check out Desiree’s protocol below.
1. Tea Tree on the top of your head and bottoms of feet. Cleanse away the items, people, circumstances and places that need to separate from your energy field.
2. Helichrysum on the inside of your wrist crease for self forgiveness, to be ok with cutting our losses and prevent disappointment from taking hold of our hearts.
3. Wintergreen on tops of shoulders to assist us in detaching from toxic influences.
4. Lavender and Patchouli around belly button.
After applying the oils I meditated to Angela Kontgen‘s Explosion of Gratitude meditation for December and journaled. Write out what will blossom in 2021, come to completion and the growth that will happen. 🙏
May your life be blessed with grace and ease and peace and love be with you.
Have you ever been in an abusive relationship before? Sadly, I have. In my high school years, I was in a relationship with someone who was emotionally and verbally abusive to me. Sadly, not just this person, his family and friends as well.
Abuse is abuse and affects someone to their core. I, unfortunately know this.
It’s very common with an abuser for them to isolate you from your family and/or friends and control as much of your life as they can. Ever read the definition of a narcissist? It’s true.
I strongly believe we are currently being “abused” by our government.
The government has mass ads out in print, radio, tv, signs, online telling people they must stay away from others, cover our faces (no more smiling faces), only go outside if essential, it’s ok to work but not to be around anyone outside of your household. Small businesses have to close, big box stores allowed to be open, people urged to buy online and large corporations sales soar. Insinuating that it’s dangerous to be near our loved ones. That being around them could get them sick and potentially kill them. Do we want to be responsible for someone getting sick and dying?
In the summer we were “allowed” to be around more people, the government gave us “permission” to invite people into our own homes. Easter was taken away, it was too scary to be around anyone outside of your household. Mass amounts of fear, numbers projected that never even came close. In the fall it became too dangerous again to gather with family, or anyone to celebrate Thanksgiving.
The government is telling us we are not allowed to have anyone in our homes except the people who live there. Last time I checked, we paid for (paying for) our own home. No one else, especially not even the government.
Now, as we are literally days away from Christmas and the numbers of actual sick people are not sky rocketing out of control, we are locked down effective Christmas Eve, Thursday. Until that time however it’s completely ok to go to work, be around my co-workers and my family until that time that it then becomes “not allowed”.
Excuse me?! I am not allowed to be with anyone outside of my household for any personal reasons (because it’s ok to work when you are an essential worker). I am “not allowed” to have anyone outside of my household in my house. “I’m not allowed”… by who?! The Government. Who is paid for by us, the working people. Are telling me I can not have anyone else in my home, literally a day before Christmas and over the entire holidays into the new year.
The irony… working in an essential business that I am thankful for, we are allowed to be with our co-workers (and family because we do work with multiple family members) but as soon as the holidays start, nope. We are “not allowed” to be around them?! Really, because that makes complete sense! Being in our small town, there are multiple family based businesses like us who would technically be in a very similar situation.
It was like a flash back, to a very intense time in my life when I thought this person actually loved and cared for me. I lost a significant part of myself and my life, that has taken me years to get back. All because I tried to justify how he was talking to me and treating me, that it was ok, that he loved me. It was not. At all.
To an abuser it’s all about control, manipulation and the fact that the abuser is a weak, inept person who is avoiding their true root of their abusive treatment.
How is what the government is doing, any better than what an abuser does?
If the government cared about it’s people, first off, they wouldn’t allow products that are harmful to our health to be knowingly sold in a variety of food, drink, beauty, cleaning products. They would promote people to get physical activity, to be outdoors in the sunshine, eat healthy foods, drink water, move their body, reinforce the importance of mental health, vitamins and minerals. The government would understand the importance of personal connection, in real life vs isolation and connecting online. Especially for our children and seniors.
I’m very much a facts person, straight to the facts. If the government really did care about us, they would be promoting common sense over the holidays. To enjoy time with your loved ones who are within your bubble, and who you have most likely spent the entire year with! To be encouraging safety, based on real numbers and facts.
Why does this upset me so much? I’ve been in an abusive relationship. This “control” is how it felt. Its NOT how it’s supposed to be at all. Caring is not control.
Caring is building someone up, being positive, real factual education, affordable healthy food and water, holistic natural health care that is recognizable to our bodies. Caring is allowing someone their personal freedom.
Caring isn’t used as a front for abuse.
Canada, based on today’s numbers. Has an approximate population of 37.59 million. Today there is 78,772 active Cases in Canada. Yes that number seems high, but in truth, it’s not. That is 0.00209% of our population of our country.
In Ontario, the current approximate population is 14.57 million. There is currently 26,867 active cases at 0.001843% of our population of the province.
In Wellington Dufferin Guelph the approximate population is 272,000. There is 266 active cases in the 3 regions. That is 0.0009779% of the population.
In Grey Bruce the approximate population from 2016 was 93,830. There is currently 31 active cases. That is 0.000330 % of the population.
Based on posted world numbers today the percentage of people with active cases in the world is 0.0042%.

If there is one thing that I learned and gained strength from after leaving an abuser (mentally, emotionally, verbally and cheated multiple times) it’s that the best and only way to win is to stand up and take ownership of me and my life.
These numbers do NOT make sense. People are being censored all over “social” media when what they say questions the narrative, now this. It was bad enough being “threatened” with a “lock down” on boxing day, now on Christmas Eve. Apparently no one working in government has a caring bone in their body, that can also do simple math. Lord help us as these people are supposed to be our “leaders”.
Speaking from experience, I had many people tell me I looked healthy prior to me loosing 60lbs. Looks mean nothing, I was not healthy, but I also thought I was. Looking back hindsight really is 20/20 and I think of where I was then, mentally and physically (listening to the medical community – just take these pills and you will be “fine”, in the “normal range” bullshit – “just listen to us”) to where I am now and it’s a world a part, honestly.
Please don’t just read these numbers above and believe them. No, do the digging and research yourself. Everything I have read and found in 2020 that has helped strengthen me even more, was cross referenced. Never ever take 1 persons opinion as truth, especially if it doesn’t feel right within your heart and soul. That also applies to our government and news sources, even these tests.
Is it normal to be shamed into wanting to see your loved ones but having mass amounts of fear injected into you for wanting them in your life? NO!
Or is it more normal that we are now being shamed of that AND ads are also being played out that if seniors begin dying after the (fast tracked) vaxx that it’s ok because it’s normal for seniors to die?!
Don’t even get me started on the mental health effects this entire year has had on people and the rising addition, suicide and overdose rates! Or this fast tracked vaxx that our family will not be taking.
One more thing… Look up “Songbird” movie trailer… that coincidentally was released in 2020. “Immune to the COVID-23 virus, a courier races against time to save the woman he loves from a quarantine camp.” Read that sentence again. Then realize this movie was released in 2020, a bigger question WHEN was it created, I highly doubt at the height of a “pandemic” to be released already when much of Hollywood was shut down for months!? Hmmmm…
A beautiful routine we began back in 2014 when essential oils joined our life, was applying oils to our kids morning and night. As time has gone on we sporadically apply in the morning, but have kept up our evening bedtime oil routine. One thing I honestly love to end our day, its physical touch as well as holistic health for us and our kids.
Ive been meaning to re-fill our oils all week, truthfully. So being the weekend, yesterday I wrote down as I was decompressing from my day, that this morning I would re-fill our oils. Which I sat down and did!
This is our Immune Boost Blend – I create this literally every time I re-fill the blend. Today when I refilled I used Niaouli, On Guard, Manuka, Arborvitae, DDR Prime and Copaiba.Our Sleepy Kids Blend. I created this blend before we went on our cruise in February 2019 (thankful we planned it for then!). It worked not only for the kids, it was so super helpful for me too! I haven’t re-filled this in a while. Our re-labeled kids blends! These are the ones that we use all the time. The one on the end, is my thyroid blend that has helped me so much with my Hypothyroidism!
So why these oils… first of all their physical health properties is what I initially look for. Then the emotional, some of which I know off the top of my head others I look up.
Adaptiv – The oil of adaptability. Its been a really good one for this year. Lord knows Ive used it quite a bit and have a roller in my bathroom! This blend was formulated to assist with anxious states. “Adaptiv conveys softly the truth that most of life is beyond an individuals ability to control, and safety is only to be found in the arms of the Divine.”
Arborvitae – The oil of divine grace. “Arborvitae assists individuals who believe or act like all progress must be made through struggle and solitary effort. Instead of trusting in the Divine, these individuals unconsciously block divine aid, choosing instead to live by their own efforts. Arborvitae addresses the need to control one’s outcomes in life. It invites individuals to live with peace and joy by trusting in the abundant flow of divine grace.”
Balance – The oil of grounding. Another key oil this year. “This blend reminds individuals that to realize their true dreams and desires, they must stay focused on a goal unit it is actualized in the physical world.”
Cedarwood – The oil of community. “Cedarwood brings people together to experience the strength and value of community. Those in need of cedarwood struggle to form bonds within social groups. This can often be due to an overdeveloped sense of individuality.”
Copaiba – The oil of unveiling. “Copaiba invites individuals to connect with their past. It offers a deep intertwining energy that links experience to experience to unveil the deeper meaning and messages showing up in one’s life. Copaiba respects the sacred sheltered within unit it is ready to emerge into the light of consciousness. It then invites individuals to become thoughtfully aware of the shadow aspects of themselves and discover who they really are.”
DDR Prime – The oil of transformation. “DDR Prime works emotionally as well as physically with the cycles of life and death and personal transformation. By putting off the old, individuals become free to experience the new – this is transformation.”
Frankincense – The oil of truth. “Frankincense reveals deceptions and false truths. It invites individuals to let go of lower vibrations, lies, deceptions and negativity. This oil helps create new perspectives based on light and truth. Frankincense assists in pulling the “scales of darkness” from the eyes, the barriers from the mind, and the walls from the heart. Through connecting the soul with its inner light, this oil reveals the truth.”
Lemongrass – The oil of cleansing. “Lemongrass is a powerful cleanser of energy. It dispels feelings of despondency, despair and lethargy. Lemongrass assists individuals in entering a healing mode or cleansing state. In this state, one easily legs go of old, limiting beliefs, toxic energies and negativity. Lemongrass teaches individuals to move forward without hesitation.”
Litsea – The oil of manifestation. “Litsea is a powerful mobilizer of the will. It is especially helpful in encouraging individuals to follow through on their inspiration and promptings. Litsea invites individuals to have the confidence to act on the information given and to trust in wisdom that may be beyond current understanding.”
Manuka – The oil of being upheld. “Manuka is a powerful plant given as a gift to the earth to heal and bless humanity. It carries a unique energy signature that raises the vibration of those who are blessed to come into contact with it.”
Myrrh – The oil of mother earth. “Myrrh oil nurtures the souls relationship with it maternal mother and with the earth. This oil supports individuals who have had disturbances with the mother-child bond.”
On Guard – The oil of protection. A very key oil this year to ensure our energy has been and continues to be protected. “This combination of oils is generally used to shield individuals from harmful threats. This blend’s protective properities, however, extend beyond the physical level by aiding individuals in warding off energetic parasites, domineering personalities, and other negative influences. On Guard strengthens one’s immune system, which governs the ability to defend against attacks from both physical and negative energies.”
Petitgrain – The oil of ancestry. “Petitgrain invokes a deep appreciation for positive forms of ancestral knowledge, wisdom and family history. All individuals carry a portion of their ancestors’ lives and stories within them – physically, emotionally, and through inherited traditions. Petitgrain illuminates the eternal connection to all previous generations that weaves its way through the present generation and on to the next.”
Serenity – The oil of tranquility. “Serenity has a powerful effect on the mind and heart. It is a uniquely calming blend that invites individuals to relinquish feelings of stress, anxiousness and being overwhelmed. Serenity can support those who struggle with an overactive mind and inability to unwind. From feelings of responsibility to feelings of worry, Serenity assists in quieting the mind, releasing agitation and inviting calm.”
Vetiver – The oil of centering and decent. “Vetiver oil assists in becoming more rooted in life. Life can scatter one’s energy and make individuals feel split between different priorities, people and activities. Vetiver brings the individual back down to earth. It assists them in grounding to the physical world. Vetiver also assists individuals in deeply connecting with what they think and feel. In this way, Vetiver is incredibly supportive in all kinds of self-awareness world. It helps uncover the root of an emotional issue.”

In reading through all of these oils I am reminded their beautiful capabilities these oils have to holisticially support our emotional and physical health. Cheers to transformation and rising up, however that looks for you! Truthfully, I would have felt that to post and share these recipes and images they had to be perfectly staged, truth of the matter is what is most important is sharing this information, not how I set up a shot or what might be in the background. This morning I sat down at my table, the runner somewhat in dismay as I was doing some work at the table yesterday, and re-filled the rollers. Real life, straight up! Plus they just simply work!
Our essential oils are a staple in our home for our every day living, physical and mental health AND cooking!
The depth of flavour of essential oils is outstanding! Plus they last so much longer than dried spices! Packed full of flavour.
This Christmas, as part of the holiday promotions, doTERRA released three Cuisine Blends for cooking! They smell and taste fantastic! An explosion in your mouth! Honestly the Tropical one I know I will be trying out in the diffuser too 😉
Tonight I made a home made lasagna. I added in some drops of the Italian Blend and Tropical Blend.
I am so grateful for these blends! I can see us using them all the time! Here’s to hoping the oils are sustainable to potentially become a permanent product!!! 😉
The finished result! Oh my there is nothing like home made lasagna!
See… can still enjoy foods I love by just tweaking it myself. Does it take more time, yes, is my tummy and body and mind therefore happy, yes… which truthfully is priceless! 🙏
This was made gluten free and 90% lactose free! I added real mozza to the top. Which interestingly enough as Ive been on my health and wellness journey, I have found I do have a sensitivity to lactose. I knew this previously with milk and ice cream as they cause massive digestive pain and upset. As I have been conscious about what I eat/drink etc I have noticed these sensitivities. Dairy makes me more mucusy (is that a word haha). So this morning when I woke up, feeling a bit more mucusy, as expected from the small amount of mozza I took 1 of my TriEase softgels, which is a blend of Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint in equal parts. Honestly these work amazing and helped dry up what I was feeling!
