It’s nearly the end of the year… and this time always brings a mix of emotions for me. 😌
A bit of reflection, a bit of letting go, and a quiet moment to reset before rolling into the new year. 🧐

An emotional reset right now just feels good — it helps me start the next chapter with a clearer head. 🎉

Here’s my simple end-of-year ritual:

💫 Adaptiv or Balance
Place 1 drop in your palm, rub your hands together, then:
– Press over your heart
– Swipe across your forehead
– Cup your hands over your nose and take a few slow breaths
(Aromatic use is the quickest way to shift how we feel.)

💫 Copaiba + Frankincense
Place 1 drop of each under the tongue. It’s a steadying, calming combo for the nervous system.

A simple thought to close the year:

“I’m done carrying what isn’t mine anymore.”

A simple thought to open the new one:

“Let’s make space for what actually matters.”

Digital detox anyone? 📵🎬🚶‍♀️

Far out… the scrolling never stops, does it?
Everyone’s glued to their phones, reposting stuff without checking, opinions flying everywhere, and half the time it’s total nonsense anyway 🙄

Yeah yeah, I know the irony… I’m posting this on social media 😉
But hey, I’ve got your attention.

Over the Xmas break, I love nothing more than putting my phone down and away and either watching a good film or heading out for a walk. No pings. No doom scrolling. Just space to breathe.

I love this essential oil blend for washing away that frazzled, overstimulated feeling from too much screen time. It's balancing, calming and brain friendly for home and on the go.

✨ What’s in it & why I love it:
🍋 Lemon – detoxifying
🫚 Ginger – detoxifying
🌲 Black Spruce – calming
🫐 Juniper Berry – helps relieve oxidative stress
🌿 Rosemary – clears the head and sharpens focus

Tip: Use the blend and cut screen time back to 1-2 hours a day.
Shock horror for some of us 🤣

A few changes I’ve made lately,

✨ Bedroom is no tech zone
There’s a proper old-school clock ⏰ on my bedside table now, so my phone stays in the kitchen, turned off, when I go to bed.

✨ Tech free meal times
Breakfast, lunch, dinner thephone stays away. And I don’t go on it in the morning until I’m ready to video call Mum at 8 ❤️

✨ Push notifications OFF
Constant alerts drive me nuts. Everything’s turned off so I can actually be present.

✨ Social media spring clean
If it triggers comparison or unworthiness — gone. Block, mute, unfollow, delete. Keep the people who make you laugh, smile and feel inspired.

✨ Silent mode ON
When I need a break, my phone goes silent so I can stay in the moment.

Give it a try.
Scroll less. Live more. 💛

With Christmas parties popping up everywhere, many of us are dressing up a bit more, maybe even adding a splash of colour to our nails. 💅✨
I don’t wear nail polish myself, but here’s a natural tip that so many in our community love.

Lemongrass essential oil as a gentle polish remover. 🌿

How to use it:
Add 2–3 drops of pure Lemongrass oil to a cotton pad, press it onto the nail for 15 seconds, then wipe.
If the polish is light, it helps soften and lift it.
Finish with a little carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil) to keep your nails and cuticles happy.

It’s not as strong as commercial removers and won’t shift gels or heavy colours, but people love it as a more natural option — and it smells beautiful.

Remember that viral post claiming lavender essential oil causes hormone issues? ❌ It’s a 15-year-old myth—debunked again and again!

For years, this fear has unnecessarily panicked parents and wellness lovers. But here’s what science has:

🔬 The Facts:
💡 In 2007, a case report (not a study!) linked lavender to hormone disruption in three boys. But here’s the reality:
👉 The products they used were loaded with synthetic fragrances & known hormone disruptors—NOT pure lavender essential oil.

🌿 What Real Science Says:
✅ A 2022 study of 556 children confirmed that pure lavender & tea tree essential oils pose NO endocrine disruption risk.
🚫 The real issue? Synthetic fragrances & adulterated oils in personal care products.
⚠️ Synthetic fragrances = real endocrine disruptors.
💜 Lavender essential oil is one of the most adulterated on the market. Many “lavender” products contain phthalates, lilial, and synthetic fillers—not real essential oil.
✨ Bottom line? Pure, high-quality lavender essential oil = SAFE. Cheap, synthetic knock-offs = NOT SAFE.

Foundational wellness isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving your nervous system a steady base so life feels a bit easier.

For many neurodivergent folks, things like sensory overwhelm, dodgy sleep, gut dramas, emotional ups and downs, and energy swings aren’t random — they’re all connected. When the basics aren’t supported, everything feels harder. When the foundation is solid, the brain has more space to regulate, process and cope.

Here’s what that foundation looks like — and how doTERRA can help.

🥦 Balanced nutrition
Neurodivergent brains burn through nutrients fast.
Helpful: Microplex VMz, Alpha CRS+, xEO Mega - AKA Life Long Vitality Pack
Omega-3s and vitamins/minerals support mood, focus + neurotransmitters.

😴 Quality sleep
Sleep challenges are common. Calming the nervous system helps massively.
Helpful: Lavender Peace/Serenity, oils or Softgels + Vetiver, Adaptiv.

🏃 Movement
Supports dopamine, sensory regulation and stress levels.
Helpful: Ice Blue Rub, Peppermint, AromaTouch.
Movement therapies show strong benefits for sensory + emotional regulation.

💧 Hydration → boosts clarity & mood
Even mild dehydration can mess with focus, mood, patience and sensory tolerance — especially for neurodivergent brains that are already working hard.
Helpful: MetaPWR Recharge Lemon Lime
(Hydration + electrolytes + cellular support = better energy, mood and cognitive function)

🧩 Supplementation
Many neurodivergent people have higher nutrient needs due to gut issues or irregular eating.
Helpful: Adaptiv Capsules, DDR Prime, PB Assist+.
Probiotics support the gut-brain axis. GABA helps calm the nervous system.

⭐ Why it matters
Foundational wellness doesn’t “fix” neurodivergence — and it shouldn’t.
But supporting the basics can help someone feel:
✔ calmer
✔ clearer
✔ more regulated
✔ less overwhelmed
✔ more emotionally steady
✔ more able to cope

Ice Blue: Rub or Stick? (Deep Blue in the USA) 🌬️❄️

Dr Nicole Stevens does a brilliant job explaining how both options give that powerful cooling relief — they just each shine in their own way.

So when you need fast comfort, what do you reach for?
Straight to the Rub, or do you grab the Stick? 👇

Personally, I keep both on hand.
The Rub is my go-to for bigger areas or those tired, overworked muscles after a long day.
And the Stick? Perfect for quick, mess-free relief — especially when I’m on the go.

If I’m using the Rub, I always layer Copaiba underneath first.
Copaiba is brilliant as a base — when it’s the first layer, it actually helps your body absorb any oils you put on top even better. Then I’ll sometimes add Lemongrass or Ginger for that extra muscle-soothing boost… especially after pickleball. 🌿✨

And honestly, using it before and after exercise has been a game-changer — such a good way to prevent those little pulls and that deep, nagging ache later.

So tell me… what’s your go-to?
Rub? Stick? Or your own little combo?

🌿 Why I’m Loving Lemongrass Oil for My Hair… and My Soul ✨

I’ve been adding Lemongrass to my hair routine lately, and honestly… I’m a bit obsessed. It’s one of those little things that makes a big difference.

💧 Deep clean for your scalp
Lemongrass is brilliant for keeping the scalp fresh. It helps balance sebum (that waxy oil our skin makes), which can clog things up and slow hair growth. Since adding it, my hair just feels lighter, cleaner and happier.

❄️ Dandruff? Sorted.
There’s actually a 2015 study showing daily use of lemongrass reduced dandruff in just 7 days. How good is that?
(Study link if you’re curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4325400/
)

🦠 Natural disinfectant
It’s also incredibly cleansing — great for keeping the scalp clear and even helpful against lice… without all the harsh stuff.

🍋 And the smell… wow
Fresh, citrusy, uplifting. It turns a normal shower into a little mood booster.

Here’s exactly what I do:
👉 10 drops of Lemongrass in a 125ml shampoo bottle
Just give it a really good shake because it’s a “hotter” oil and you want it dispersed properly.

🌱 And the emotional side…
Lemongrass is beautiful for clearing out old energy and mental clutter. Whenever I use it, I feel like I’m hitting the reset button — lighter, clearer, and just a bit more me again.
Plus… I smell amazing. 🍋✨

I can’t get over this footage with Emily. Standing in the very valley in Oman where frankincense has been harvested since ancient times… it’s something you have to see to believe.

How well do you really know your endocrine system❓

These tiny glands quietly influence everything, our mood, energy, sleep, stress levels, and even cycle balance. And what I love is how certain essential oils can offer gentle, targeted support to different parts of this system.

🌙 Pineal Gland (sleep + circadian rhythm)

Oils rich in linalool—like Lavender and Clary Sage—help create a calming atmosphere to support rest.
Use: Diffuse at night or inhale from your hands.

🧠 Hypothalamus + Pituitary (stress + emotional regulation)

These are your master hormone controllers. Lavender, Rosemary, and the Adaptiv Blend (linalool + limonene) help promote a grounded, centred feeling.
Use: Diffuse during stressful moments or roll Adaptiv on wrists and neck.

🦋 Thyroid (energy + metabolism)

Citrus oils rich in limonene, like those in Zendocrine, offer an uplifting, clarifying aroma that supports feelings of vitality.
Use: Diffuse in the morning or apply diluted to the chest.

💛 Thymus (immune function)

Warm oils with cinnamaldehyde—like Cinnamon Bark (found in several blends)—create a comforting, strengthening environment.
Use: Dilute heavily as hot oil and apply over the chest or diffuse.

🍑 Pancreas (balance + steady energy)

Oils like Clary Sage and citrus-rich blends help support emotional steadiness when energy fluctuates.
Use: Apply diluted to the abdomen or inhale during afternoon lows.

⚡ Adrenals (fight-or-flight + fatigue)

The Adapti Blend and ClaryCalm are beautiful for those “running on empty” days.
Use: Roll Adaptiv on the back of the neck; apply ClaryCalm to the lower abdomen.

🌸 Reproductive Hormones (cycle comfort)

Clary Sage and ClaryCalm are soothing and balancing during hormonal ups and downs.
Use: Massage into the abdomen or apply to pulse points.

Your endocrine system works 24/7 to keep everything in rhythm. These oils offer simple, powerful ways to support calm, balance, and overall wellbeing—one drop at a time. 🌿💛
