Cooking and baking with essential oils can bring out such warm, layered flavor. This baked apple streusel is a great example of that cozy winter taste.

You will need:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 drop Cinnamon Bark
- 1 drop Ginger
- 1 drop On Guard
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, dates, cranberries, or cherries)
- 4 large baking apples

Heat the oven to 350°F. Mix the oats, flour, and brown sugar, then cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Add the essential oils and dried fruit and place the mixture in the refrigerator. Core the apples and place them in a baking dish. Pack each apple with the streusel mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes.

Simple, warm, and a little nostalgic.

I really do love adding essential oils to beverages, especially when I want something simple that still feels special. This Cranberry Lime mocktail is one of those drinks that takes almost no time to put together but tastes bright and refreshing.

You will need:
- Cranberry juice
- Sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- Ice
- Lime essential oil
- Optional: sliced limes and cranberries for garnish

Fill a glass with ice. Pour sparkling water or soda halfway, then fill the rest of the glass with cranberry juice. Add one drop of Lime essential oil and stir. Garnish if you’d like it to look a little festive.

It’s an easy drink to serve to guests or just enjoy at home. Doesn’t that sound refreshing?

If the kids are home and you need something fun and hands-on, this DIY snow is always a hit. Whether you actually have snow outside or not, the texture and scent make this activity a cozy winter project.

You will need:
- 1 lb baking soda
- Shaving cream (unscented works best)
- 2 drops Lavender (or another essential oil you prefer)

Lay down a blanket or tablecloth for easy cleanup. Add the baking soda to a large bowl, then slowly add shaving cream, mixing and kneading until you reach a fluffy snow-like texture. You can mix in a little glitter if you want some sparkle. Add your essential oil and continue to knead.

When finished, just shake out the blanket and vacuum any leftover pieces.

Here’s a fun and thoughtful project: Bath Salt Ornaments. These make beautiful gifts and look really pretty when packaged.

You will need:
- Round plastic ornaments
- 1 cup Epsom salts
- Your favorite essential oil

Place the Epsom salts in a bowl. If you want to add color, mix in a small amount of skin-safe colorant. You can also add dried herbs or flower petals for a little extra detail. Add 5 to 10 drops of your essential oil and stir well. Fill the ornament with the mixture and replace the top.

When it’s time to use, the whole ornament can be poured into a warm bath.

Who comes to mind that would love receiving one of these as a gift?

There are so many ways to bring that warm, cozy, gingerbread scent into your home, and these two DIYs are perfect for that. One is a Gingerbread Sugar Scrub and the other is Gingerbread Bath Bombs. Think: self-care meets holiday baking vibes.

Both can be used for yourself (no shame in that) or packaged up for a thoughtful handmade gift. They smell incredible, feel luxurious, and are surprisingly simple to make.

So now the real question:

Are you making the scrub, the bath bombs, or both?
And are they for gifting… or keeping? Me? I’d keep at least one.

Blueberry and cardamom is such a good flavor pairing. These scones are a cozy weekend bake.

You will need:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 tbsp butter (cut into pieces)

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter, then fold in blueberries. Add the essential oils to the milk and gently stir into the dough. Shape into two 6-inch circles, cut each into 6 triangles, place on the baking sheet, and sprinkle with sugar.

You can double the batch and freeze extras for later.

Here’s a simple DIY if you’ve been wanting a cleaner candle option.

You will need:
- 4 cups beeswax pellets
- 1 cup coconut oil
- Cotton wicks
- Four 4 oz mason jars
- Essential oils of choice

Melt the beeswax and coconut oil together. Stir in your essential oil (about 20 drops per candle works well). Place a small drop of wax in the center of each jar to anchor the wick, then pour the wax mixture in. Let cool fully and trim the wick.

This makes four candles and is an easy way to replace synthetic fragrances in the home.

Our Story

I completed my massage training in 1995 at the Healing Hands Institute of Westwood, NJ. and I hold a New York State License in Massage Therapy. Over the 20+ years I have been massaging, I have seen the best results when I incorporate doTERRA essential oils into the treatment. Whether it is an AromaTouch Technique, which focuses on the application of 8 essential oils to the back and feet, or a Swedish massage, I have found that the addition of the essential oils enhances the client’s experience by aiding in stress reduction, relaxation and releasing muscle tension.

I enjoy helping people solve their health concerns by providing natural solutions. These solutions can be in the form of hands-on therapies like massage or AromaTouch, or recommendations for the best products to use to achieve your desired result. I have 14 years of experience in using therapeutic grade essential oils to resolve all kinds of ailments and I am happy to share my experience with you. Together, we can create a wellness plan for you. I would be honored to assist you on your wellness journey and look forward to partnering with you to help you discover the best solutions for you and your family.
