I want to tell you a story that will show you why I love natural alternatives.
It all started with my mom. She was born before all of the wonder drugs we now have were available. I am the youngest of 8. She learned from her mom so many treasures that could be used to treat things that we now use medication for. As a result we were treated the same way first and if that didn’t work than we went and got “the big guns”. Here is a pic of my mom, isn’t she beautiful?

I can count on one hand the times I took baby aspirin. I did love the taste though so I’m not sure what kept me from talking the entire bottle! Not even a child proof cap!
My grandma taught her how to make a mustard plaster that helped alleviate a case of pneumonia that I couldn’t take antibiotics for due to an allergic reaction to two different ones.
Fast forward to my own children, her teaching made me use alternatives to so many things. I bought tons of Candy Canes at Christmas time because we used them for coughs, sore throats and tummy aches. Even as a nurse we used Apricot Nectar for our patients in the hospital when they couldn’t have cough syrup for one reason or another.
Now I have in my natural arsenal these amazing bottles of Essential Oils. I learned about Young Living from my niece. I was looking for something for my daughter who suffered from allergies that made her miserable doing the things she loved. My niece raved about how amazing the oils were so I took the plunge and bought my own! I did some research and combined Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint in a roller bottle for my daughter. She applied it over the tops of her ears and on her pulse points. I can now happily say that my daughter can feed cows and not break out sneezing uncontrollably. She can also eat her favorite healthy foods that use to make her mouth and ears itch. I am so beyond happy!
Such an amazing blessing for her and also for so many other things on our wellness journey!
Happy Oiling,

I am so excited that it’s finally spring! I love the warmer temps. And we’ve been getting rain, I can’t complain about the rain! What is your favorite thing about spring? Mine is looking out the window at all the green grass growing. And it seemed like spring was so late coming this year. I guess we appreciate it more, right?!
Some things I like to have on hand for spring are lemon, lavender, and peppermint. I add about 5 drops of each to a roller bottle topped with a carrier oil to use for seasonal issues. Think blooming plants! I use the roller behind my ears and on my pulse points. You can also google vita flex and see where it’s best to apply your favorite oils.
Another oil to keep on hand is Purification. This one allows you to go out in the evenings without being “bugged”. Or you can grab our insect repellent. And did you see the new insect repellent wipes! I am so excited about these. How handy!
What Oil reminds you the most of spring? I think Lemon comes to mind for me. It’s such a refreshing scent. I love diffusing it, so clean and fresh. I’ve also been adding lemon Vitality to my water. So good for your body.
Here are some great diffuser recipes for spring time. Try them for their great scent and wellness support.

Oh, the possibilities! There are so many to choose from. Do you have a favorite scent?
If so, start with that scent. Then experiment and add in another scent that you find appealing, like Lavender. Is this actually your favorite scent? Add a citrus oil, like lemon or orange.
Maybe you like Thieves the best, try adding some orange with it. It is such a great combo!!
How many drops? If you are just starting, a good beginning is 3 drops of each. I personally love tree oils and I create additional scents with them. Try any tree oil with a citrus oil or maybe some Frankincense. I like to use both Frankincense and Thieves regularly because of their amazing properties. I know…all of the oils have amazing properties…but these two are my favorites and my most used oils!
Have you tried any of the floral scents, like Jasmine? They bring a nice sweet scent into your environment. Here’s a great combo…Purification and Lemon! It makes my home smell clean and refreshing. Peppermint is a great uplifting oil to add to any combo!
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Once you get use to the scents you love, try adding more drops…even up to 25 drops. Normally 10 drops is what I like to add depending on the combo.
Want to know my all time fave oil to diffuse is Cinnamon Bark! Try adding some nutmeg and ginger to this one, talk about a yummy scent! Here are some great combos to get you started. Happy diffusing!!

Sleep, for some it can be such a struggle! It’s so important for good health but it is such a struggle for so many. What kinds of things have you tried? I know one thing that I’m not good at but I keep hearing is to not have any screen time an hour before bed. I keep telling myself not to use my iPad but I’ll be busy checking something out and look at the clock only to realize it’s later than I thought. Yes this is one thing I struggle with daily and really need to work on.
I know the screen time plays a big role in my struggle to fall asleep and since I lack the foresight to quit doing it here are some great aides that help me to overcome the laying awake for hours issue.
One of my favorite oil combos, thanks to a friend who tried this first, is Bergamot, Patchouli, and Lavender. I add 3-5 drops of each oil to my diffuser. I don’t know what it is about this combo but it really helps me to fall quickly to sleep. I also love the Immupro supplement. Taken at bedtime this supplement helps you to fall asleep faster and helps you to stay asleep. I like it not only for sleep but because I am also supporting my immune system! Now that’s a win,win😁. Immupro provides Zinc and Selenium for proper immune function a long with chelated minerals which emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body. It also delivers melatonin which encourages restful sleep by promoting the bodies natural sleep rhythm.
How about adding some Magnesium to your daily supplements? Low Magnesium can cause chronic fatigue. Supplementing with MegaCal can help your body get the Magnesium it needs to function properly. Of course talking with your doctor about what your body needs is always a great idea. I am here to tell you what I use personally and what has helped me. Everybody is different and when it comes to supplementing you need to decide for yourself what you think is best.
Some other great sleep oils to try are Lavender, Stress Away, Tranquil, Cedarwood, Peace and Calming, Ruta Vala, Valor, Vetiver, And Frankincense. Try any combo of these in your diffuser or on the bottoms of your feet. There are so many amazing oils out there and sometimes it takes patience and lots of trying of different oils or a combo of oils. I never would have thought to try the combo that my friend suggested! So if you haven’t found the perfect combo yet don’t give up you just might be surprised at what works.
I have shared rollers of 6 drops each of lavender and Cedarwood with so many people it has helped a lot of them so that’s always my first suggestion. Just don’t be discouraged if this combo is not right for you.
Every time I get together with other oily friends I am amazed at some of the ideas they give me. That’s why doing this with a friend is so much better. Not only are you on a journey to get healthy together but by sharing ideas you can come up with things you may have never thought to try yourself!
I hope this helps you to find the things that will provide you with some much needed sleep. I would love to hear from you if you find a combo that you love. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have questions. Here are some great diffuser blends for you to try
