As someone with multiple autoimmune conditions, there are days that it is so hard to do even the simplest things that we take for granted, like brushing your hair or getting out of your car after you get home from an average day at work. Sometimes, it's like walking through quicksand to get up and go to the store.

Some days you can barely move because your entire body feels like you were in an accident the day before. Sore, bruised, aching when you simply did normal activities.

Then there are days that are "ok". Those "ok" days are like heaven to us, but are a healthy person's roughest days.

We often have struggled with these conditions, these autoimmune diseases most of our lives. Or just found out that has been the answer to all of the things we've been struggling with and couldn't understand. We have learned how to mask the pain, the struggle so well. What you see on the outside is a strong, motivated, ambitious person. But some days....some days on the inside we are exhausted and pushing ourselves to get through the next 30 minutes. Then....will we make it to the next?

Some diseases are not always visible and those can be the hardest to fight. Too all of my friends, family and clients who I have bonded with, shared stories, tips and struggles with....I see you. We are in this together and thank God we have eachother.

I am so grateful to have a career that allows me to help people. It is my purpose in life to help others and make their lives a bit better, even if it's just for an hour.

Each individual is different in their needs. Listen to your body, listen to your budget! A great therapeutic massage doesn't always come from a fancy spa.

Recent study has revealed a striking connection between rose essential oil exposure and brain health in women. Participants who wore rose essential oil on their clothes for just 30 days showed a significant increase in gray matter volume across the entire brain on imaging scans. Gray matter is essential for processing information, memory, emotions, and decision-making, making this change especially meaningful for long-term cognitive and emotional health.

Researchers believe the effect is linked to how scent directly interacts with the brain’s limbic system, which governs memory, emotions, and behavior. Unlike other senses, smell bypasses many filtering pathways and reaches deep brain structures almost instantly. Continuous low-level exposure to rose aroma may stimulate neural plasticity, encouraging the growth and strengthening of brain connections.

Increased gray matter volume is associated with enhanced cognitive function, improved emotional regulation, and greater stress resilience. It is also linked to a reduced risk of neurodegenerative conditions, as brain volume loss is a common feature in disorders such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Participants may also benefit from improved mood stability and overall mental well-being.

What makes this finding especially compelling is its simplicity. No supplements, training programs, or lifestyle overhauls were required. Just passive exposure through clothing was enough to produce measurable brain changes. While further research is needed, this study highlights how gentle sensory inputs may quietly shape brain health, emotional balance, and cognitive resilience over time.
