Calm Down Oil Up

03/08/2026

Travel with me, backtrack to 2014.
Multiple medications, multiple issues😳😕
Blood panels were a hot mess & getting worse😠😤

Fast forward to a granddaughter born a few years later. My future laid out before me. Am I going to be THAT granny 😦🥺 = cranky, tired, stiff, sore & frustrated & on multiple meds? Heck no!

Started delving in, researching more 🤓🧐
I realized those big pharma meds weren't healing me, just treating the symptoms. Never getting to the root cause. No wonder I wasn't getting better🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Fast forward to learning more about the body & qhat it needs to heal. How to get to the root cause.

Recent blood work revealed I'm rock steady, solid with my results. Only one issue, dating back 30+ years, one medication. I see a western- based doc yearly. To hear how impressed he is with me & to ensure my blood panels are within range. And they are. But I'm looking for a functional medicine doc in my new neighborhood.

How to get better blood panels? Slow & steady win the race. Using plant based solutions, daily movement, solid nutrition (80/20 rule, I'm human after all!), stress reducing techniques, power of gratitude and positivity.

Where are my chocolate 🍫 lovers? Are you Team Peppermint or Team Wild Orange? Love ❤️🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻 Peppermint & chocolate together 🥰🙌

I recently made Peppermint Brownies for
home & donated a batch for a fundraiser. It was super simple. Which if you know me is my style😉😉

Peppermint Brownies-I used Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate brownie mix, mixed it according to the box. Before adding to baking pan, I mixed in 5-6 drops of doTERRA Peppermint essential oil. I trust this brand of essential oils because of the rigorous testing done to ensure its purity. Certified Trusted Pure Grade guarantee with scientific proof. It's my jam to have fun using my essential oils & this is one example. I decorated it with crushed candy canes (I know, overachiever, right 😅🤣😂). Enjoy!!

PS - I am craving hot chocolate so I'll use plant based milk, cocoa powder (dutch-process, unsweetened), maple syrup, teeny dash of salt. No preservatives, no junk. And I control the sweetness, yum 😋🥰

Here are a few other suggestions to incorporate chocolate & EOs for a delicious treat! If I were melting chocolate, I'd probably be a teeny bit health conscious & use dark chocolate, but you do you!

Absolutely amazing✨️ love diffusing my pure essential oils 💜 & now we have clinical data reflecting their efficacy. Incredible 😲
https://www.facebook.com/share/1CYpaVtwNe/

Did you know that research suggests that deterioration of olfaction (sense of smell) precedes a decline in cognitive abilities? Indeed, olfactory loss is associated with significant losses of brain matter (gray and white) in humans. Loss of olfaction can even predict the progression of mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease.

Knowing the correlation between olfaction and cognition, researchers set out to investigate whether olfactory enrichment (exposure to fragrances) can improve memory in older adults (aged 60-85). Participants in the study were provided a diffuser and seven essential oils (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender). They diffused each oil in a rotation--changing the oil they diffused daily--for two hours as they slept. This process was continued for six months.

The researchers found that aromatic molecules have privileged access to areas of the brain and pathways relevant to olfaction and memory, which may help normalize brain circuitry linked to memory. Remarkably, nightly diffusion improved cognition, memory, and neural functioning by 226%!

Is it possible that the candles you're burning are emitting forever chemicals into the air you breathe? Check for an ingredient list. There isn't one? Red flag? Your candle has artificial colors added? Red flag. Check out this episode to learn about toxic ingredients to avoid.

Looking for an alternative? I use pure, unadulterated essential oils, tested several times for purity, in a water based diffuser. Simple & easy, & lots of scent profiles. Comment candles for more info.

Love this 💜💜💜 Already using it as a moisturizer post shower (my skin feels unbelievably soft), and added it to a dropper bottle with Black Cumin Seed oil, Frankincense & Myrrh. I use this as my face serum. So moisturizing!!! Next up is to use it with a castor oil pack/flannel & pad for targeted solutions. Stay tuned 😉
