Occasional Congestion?

BubbaBoy woke up the other day with major chest congestion.  Out of no where.  What's a momma to do?  Well, this momma headed straight for our oil drawer.  I pulled out two different blends.  One known for making breathing easier and one known for its anti-viral properties.  I put one of the blends on BubbaBoys chest and one on his feet.  I also put one of the blends in the diffuser and laid him down right next to it.  Within 15 minutes he was breathing much more easily.  Just like that!  Head on over to my FB page to see what we used!

Morning OILY Routine

I would like to share with you some of the oils I use on a regular basis as part of my morning routine.

Before I eat or drink anything else I add a drop or two of Lemon Essential Oil in room temperature water.  Lemon naturally helps aid in digestion and cleanses the body.  It also helps promote healthy functioning of the GI tract.

I like to add Frankincense to my facial moisturizer to reduce the appearance of blemishes and rejuvenate my skin.

Did you know that you can get toothpaste with essential oils in it?  I have been using an essential oil toothpaste for at least a year now and I really love it.  I like that it is fluoride free and has some of the protective benefits of certain blends of essential oils.  It also naturally whitens your teeth.  Not to mention it tastes great!

And finally, I fire up our diffuser in our main living area.  I put in whatever fits the bill for that day.  Sometimes I use a citrus oil for the pick me up.  Sometimes I'll use an anti-viral blend if we've been fighting off something.  It totally depends on the circumstances and my (or our) mood.

Do you use essential oils as part of your morning routine?  I'd love to hear your ideas!!

Welcome

So, this is where the newest leg of my essentOILY journey begins.  I've been using essential oils for several years and now I am stepping out to share the amazing things I've learned about essential oils and their amazing uses.  I am praying to meet new friends, improve lives through essential oils, and eventually become financially independent.  I am so excited for this new chapter.  Check out the links in the sidebar and visit frequently to find out how my family and I use oils in our daily lives.
