Can you believe it’s almost October! I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around October, it’s been such a strange and wonderful year.
 ðŸŒ±
Many of us had hoped for more time at home …
we’ve had more time at home.
Many of us had hoped for more family meals together …
we’ve had more family meals together.
Many of us had wanted to try working from home …
we’ve had the opportunity to work from home.
and Many of us had hoped for a chance to try homeschooling …
we’ve had to homeschool our kiddos.
🌱 
Do we count the opportunities that have been afforded us during this pandemic a blessing? Or are we still hoping for other things? Let’s not lose site of waking up each day with a grateful heart for the opportunities we’ve been able to experience these past several months.
🌱
Let’s move on to oil of the week – Lavender!
🌱
Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia)has a scent that’s sweet, floral, fresh and calm. It’s great as a beginner oil because it is highly versatile and has so many used for you and your home! Did you know that it’s part of the mint family? It is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the plant, and it takes 27 square feet of lavender plants to make one 15 ml bottle – that’s a lot of lavender! Lavender is often referred to as the “Swiss army knife of oils.” Why you ask? Let me tell you, along with lots of other great uses:
 
  •       It promotes relaxation and calm and helps fight nervous tension
  •       It has balancing properties to calm the mind and promote sleep
  •       It helps take the “sting” out of a burn and promotes healing
  •       It helps with seasonal allergies, either by itself or in a blend with peppermint and lemon, equal parts
  •       It soothes dry skin and lips while supporting healthy skin
  •       It supports aging skin
  •       It makes a pleasant addition to wool dryer balls
  •       It takes lemonade to the next level when added to the pitcher!
🌱
 And it’s a must to diffuse – here are some diffuser recipes for you to try!

Is it time to do better with your health and wellness? I can help!

 
Are you tired of not feeling your best but not knowing why? 

Are you ready to start working on lifestyle changes for you and your family? Are you ready to start removing harsh chemicals from your home and your skincare products? Are you ready to experience a positive change in your health and wellness? 

Yes? Look no further - I've got you! 

My career has been made up of exceptional opportunities - and I have loved each one and those who have made an impact along the way. From the fast-paced world of commercial real estate, to the very personal arena of home improvement, to working with inmates and training puppies to be service dogs, learning what was most important for my clients was the most important tool I used to gain insight, exercise compassion and offer solutions for the challenges faced.

Today I use that same tool in a very different environment - learning what is most important for my clients when switching to non-toxic products for their homes and incorporating healthy living habits - and I'm loving every minute of serving them! Learning the priorities of people on their health and wellness journeys through detoxing their homes,  harnessing the power essentials oils (nature's plant energy), as well as bringing whole-food, plant based eating into their lifestyles has been one of my favorite ways to serve!

Are you ready for help creating a non-toxic, home and a healthy living journey? Let me help - you won't regret it!
