A couple quick tips….

Add an AromaGlide Roller Fitment to your favorite, most-used oils to make them convenient roll-ons!

If you have an oil you like to dilute, wait until it’s ⅓ empty then add a carrier and a Roller Fitment!

Make your own roller blends using your favorite oils, carrier and empty 10mL roller bottles. This way you can easily take them with you wherever you go, and it is easy for children to use by themself.

Keep pre-diluted blends on hand for all ages in your household.

🌿 Why I Choose Young Living

I’m often asked what essential oils I personally use and trust in my own wellness routine.

I choose Young Living because of their commitment to purity, transparency, and intentional sourcing—from seed to seal.

Essential oils can gently support the body’s natural ability to restore alignment and regulation—whether that looks like calming the nervous system, supporting focus, or creating a peaceful home environment.

I’ll be sharing simple, practical ways I use oils in everyday life—nothing complicated, just supportive tools for overall wellness.

I’m so grateful for this simple way to care for my family naturally. If you ever want to try them, learn more, or have questions I’m here to help. 💛

After meeting with clients or giving a Raindrop Session I often encourage them to drink coconut water. It is something we always have on hand at the house.

fatigue can be caused by dehydration and depleted electrolytes? Coconut water works as a natural remedy because it replenishes key minerals like potassium, magnesium, and sodium that are essential for nerve function, muscle contraction, and steady energy production. When these electrolytes drop, the body struggles to maintain focus and stamina, - See my earlier post on homemade electrolyte recipe.

Unlike sugary energy drinks with dyes, coconut water hydrates at the cellular level without spiking blood sugar. Its natural balance of electrolytes supports proper hydration, improves circulation, and helps oxygen and nutrients move efficiently through the body. This can result in clearer thinking, reduced muscle fatigue, and more stable energy throughout the day. It also supports adrenal function, helping the body better manage stress and avoid cortisol-driven exhaustion.

Drinking coconut water earlier in the day or during the early afternoon can quickly restore hydration and revive energy without jitters or crashes. It’s especially helpful after exercise, in hot weather, or during long workdays when mental and physical fatigue creep in.

Sometimes the simplest solution is the most effective. Coconut water offers clean, natural hydration that helps your body power through the day feeling refreshed instead of drained.

our gut health is not just a digestion topic? There are several connections to the gut, the brain being one of them.

The gut/brain connection runs through immune signaling, inflammation biology, and microbial metabolites.

Here is s the "biotics” that shows measurable outcomes in research:
🦠 PROBIOTICS (live microbes)
🥣 PREBIOTICS (fiber that feeds microbes)
⚡ POSTBIOTICS (bioactive compounds microbes make)

What trials and meta-analyses (RCTs) show:
📉 Depression symptom scores improved
🛡️ Anxiety symptom scores reduced
🌙 Sleep quality improved
🩸 Anti-inflammatory shift
🧬 Immune activity decreased
🌿 Gut microbiome diversity increased

Think about this the next time you go grocery shopping.

You may have noticed a shift in Simply Essential post this year. As I work as a holistic coach I am realizing more and more you cannot out supplement wrong thinking.

We can run all the test, make lifestyle changes, take nutritional supplements but if we do not change our thinking we are missing a very large component in health and wellness.

When you change your mind, you don’t just change a thought—you change the patterns your brain and body, and that is how your whole life starts to shift, at a time.

You can reach out to schedule a wellness appointment - we look at the MIND and BODY.

Control can disguises itself as being responsible, wisdom, or being “on top of things”— but can look very different beneath the surface.
Control may often begins as a way to feel safe, but can end up costing us the very peace we’re searching for.

According to Mayo Clinic - Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and body fluids that carry an electric charge. They are essential for many processes in your body, including maintaining fluid balance, supporting nerve and muscle function, and helping regulate your body’s pH level.

Electrolytes are essential minerals that help your body function at its best. They help support overall health, especially during times of physical exertion, illness, or heat exposure.

Enjoy this easy and tasty recipe for homemade electrolytes.
