Life right now is a hot freaking mashed potato! For everyone. So what's there to do? Between coronavirus, unknown clinical transitions, and a pending blizzard, finals were all moved up from Thursday and Friday to all happening Wednesday. I'm tired. Growing a baby is hard enough. Tack on the fatigue of the previous 2 years of nursing school and I'm ready to just be done. But the finish line is right there. I have to keep going. So after having a pity party and crying over spilled water (like 20oz on my bed), looking at study notes and not absorbing anything... I gave up, grabbed a towel, dried the bed, printed out the notes for a different view and found my motivation. LITERALLY! I post a lot about this blend because every single time it just amazes me at how well it works. The bedding is still wet, my final finals are still on Wednesday, but after just a few minutes of Motivation in the diffuser I'm already feeling rejuvenated, of clear mind and am ready to study my heart out for the next two days. For whatever has you out of sorts, be a new routine or full time with the kiddos and/or significant other, let Motivate help bring you the peace and creativity you need to get through.

Alright, I'm bringing back ! Motivate® is the perfect blend for getting that little extra pep in your step to take on the week.

What's something you've accomplished today or something you need to get done but keep putting off?

I'll start... I used motivate this weekend to study for an exam today and totally rocked it! 🎉💪👏

Let's talk about STRESS!

There are so many oils that are great at reducing stress, but yesterday it was this trio that saved the day. While designed for yoga practice (more information on that here: ow.ly/JvaW102bjZ0.) The Align blend diffused helped reduce the sudden onslaught of anxiety, stress and dispair that creeped in as the realization I only have 70 days, now 69, left of school, then I'll be moving to my new home in Minnesota, having a baby, and I still have to move all my stuff from home in Washington, there's a test on Monday.. 😂😭😭 And finally top that off with guilt for not being one of those super happy pregnant ladies just seem to be beaming all the time.

Moral of the story, life can be hard. Pregnancy is hard. School is hard. Focusing is hard. And sometimes even being happy is hard. Whatever it is that's weighing you down today or even this week, don't feel guilty about it. Because it's totally okay to have bad days!!

The biggest question is how are you going to get through that hot mess you are trying to hide from the rest of the world? Yesterday for me, it was too many drops of Align in the diffuser, stopping to take some deep breaths then tackling problems one at a time.
- Game plan for moving from NE>MN ✓
- Options on the table for moving WA>MN ✓
- Ready for baby... Are you ever ready?
- Birth Plan... As long as it's healthy, I'm good?
- Mondays exam... Studying like crazy ✓
- Happy beaming pregnant lady... Work in progress.

My list isn't done, and there's a lot more, but finding something that helps give you the edge on your stress/anxiety is the goal. Let's work together and build that toolbox for your bad days and the good! ❤️🤗

I want to know what's your skincare secret? Here's a little peak at mine! 🙃

Being pregnant I really backed away from using oils. There was such a deep rooted fear that I could do something to negatively effect this precious little nugget growing inside. While my skin has been alright, thanks to baby, this dry climate has sucked out all the moisture. I've been fighting dry skin and have really been feeling down about my lack of "pregnancy glow" and just overall dull appearance. Well last night, after lots of research, I decided to put a single drop of Frankincense in my nighttime facial moisturiser. When I woke up at O'dark thirty to get ready for clinicals, I, for the first time saw that beautiful pregnancy GLOW staring back at me!! 😍 Talk about a confidence booster!! I have used Frankincense in the past and my skin always looked & felt great. But last night was completely rejuvenating! I'm still a hot mess in so many other areas (don't worry we'll get to that, eventually) but for now I am going to take little steps to appreciate myself and what this body is doing. Starting with rejoicing in this newly hydrated, dewy, glowy skin. ❤️

For those days you wake up early, feeling motivated and productive to only have those glorious feelings crushed by the DMV and the pleasant voice letting you know "all agents are still busy" as we reach the 45minute mark. Maintain your inner peace by putting a little doTERRA Balance® into your step—literally. After you wake up, apply one to two drops to the bottom of your feet. This will help promote feelings of calmness and tranquility through out the day! I'll take all the help I can get while continuing to hold. 😂 Balance for the win this morning! 💪🙌

**Note: Topical use of Balance is NOT safe in pregnancy. Diffuse only. And for an extra kick add a few drops of Wild Orange. YUM!!

Favorite Life Saving Oil: While I was lucky enough to escape morning sickness, there were still a few days of nausea, and lots of headaches as I adjusted to pregnancy. Combine that with clinical rotations and some of the more... interesting smells that nurses encounter, PEPPERMINT became my absolute best friend. Rolled onto the back of the neck and headaches were eased. Queasy stomach? Taking a few deep breaths helped settle whatever was going on in there. The life saving part came when working through some of those "interesting" smells that humans acquire. By putting on a mask, rolling peppermint onto another mask and placing that over the one I already had on, my nose, stomach and ego were saved from some of the more interesting smells.

Since this was such a lifesaver for me, I would like to pass on some savings to you! Normally $19.33, I have one for you at $17.00!! Let me know by the end of the month! For those not local to me I will be happy to ship at no extra cost.

Hello wonderful essential oil lovers! My sincerest apologies on disappearing for so long. My life has been on a fabulous journey and it just didn't leave too much time for anything else. I started Nursing school in August 2018, and its been a wild ride. As graduation nears in May, things have slowed down a little and I can start getting back to basics and focusing on my hobbies again. Additionally, I am pregnant 🤗 and expecting my first little miracle in June!! That has added a whole new level of research on 'safe in pregnancy' oils and what to use while still navigating nursing school and its corresponding stresses. I am so excited to share some of my tips and tricks that have gotten me through and all the new things learned on this crazy journey!

My apologies on the sudden hiatus, life got a little busy this summer and as we breeze through fall and prepare for winter I am working on new weekly Essential Oil 101's! Hopefully with your help, we can get the new Q&A section up and running as well. Feel free to send me a message; Your question could be the first one answered!
