Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest health challenges of our time — and nature may hold part of the answer.
Recent research highlights how essential oils combat bacteria through multiple mechanisms, from disrupting biofilms to interfering with bacterial communication and even enhancing antibiotic effectiveness.
This isn’t trend-driven wellness — it’s chemistry, biology, and plant intelligence working together.
Essential oils are powerful tools when used with intention, education, and respect for the science.

Chicory Root in the Spotlight:
Historically used as a coffee substitute and for digestive support, chicory root is finding a space in cosmetics.
Chicory root contains inulin, a natural prebiotic that feeds beneficial skin bacteria — helping balance the skin’s microbiome and fortify its barrier function.
It’s rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm redness, soothe sensitivity, and promote more even, radiant skin.
Emerging research shows chicory derivatives may even support collagen synthesis and hydration — making it a thoughtful choice for mature skin.
Pair it with barrier-friendly actives like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and peptides for a microbiome-forward routine that ages beautifully.

“The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.”
When we choose gratitude, even in ordinary moments, we begin to see beauty where we once saw routine, hope where we once felt uncertainty, and abundance where we once focused on lack. Gratitude shifts our perspective, reminding us that life is filled with quiet gifts—love, grace, growth, and moments of peace—that deserve to be noticed and cherished each day.
Life is beautiful.
Aromatic Blessings!

Work smarter, rest better.
Ever feel like your day disappears without making real progress?
Try breaking your work into intentional focus sessions — like little bursts of clarity followed by real rest.
With the Pomodoro Technique, you work with full attention for about 25 min, then take a 5-minute break to stretch, breathe, sip tea, or step outside.
After four cycles, give yourself a longer pause.
It’s not just about getting things done — it’s about protecting your energy and avoiding burnout.
Focus. Rest. Repeat.
Let these tiny pauses be your secret weapon for sustained focus and a calmer day.

Some of my favorite holiday memories don’t come from a store — they’re made together with family
Years ago, over winter break, I formulated lip balm, lotion, and perfume with my daughter.
Fast forward to 2025 and she’s now a biotech professional, surfing and paddle boarding in San Diego, fully adulting — but those moments of creating together still matter.
DIY personal care makes beautiful stocking stuffers and teaches something deeper:
That time together and sharing our skills and passions matter.
Perhaps you’d like to create some thoughtful stocking stuffers or spend time doing something creative with family or friends
This mint chocolate lip balm is a favorite — visit the link in the story, comments, or blog highlights for the formulation and story of creating memorable moments with my beautiful daughter
Because the best gifts often carry a little wisdom… and a lot of love. 💛
Life can be stressful but our life choices can help.
While essential oils aren’t a magic answer they can help reduce feelings of stress.
Choose essential oils you like.
Choose oils known for their calming properties.
Use them aromatically or topically to help support your wellbeing.

What you put into your body shows up on your skin just as much as what you put on it!
Some supplements like Vitamin C, collagen peptides, zinc, and omega‑3s have solid research supporting skin benefits, while others like biotin or hyaluronic acid show limited or mixed results.
Remember:
• A nutrient-rich diet is the foundation of healthy skin.
• Supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all — check dosages, brand quality, and your personal needs.
• Do your research and introduce new nutrients one at a time.
Glow from the inside out!

What’s one of the best ways to combat stuffy airways naturally?
An aroma steam.
Add boiling water to a bowl or mug. Add a drop of a respiratory blend or respiratory support/airway opening essential oil such peppermint, eucalyptus, or ravinsara or such.
Close your eyes, tent your head with a towel if desired, and breathe in the steamy v***r for 2 to 10 minutes. Be sure to keep tissues handy!
Cautions: avoid using oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus near the face of young children as they can be too strong.
How do you defend yourself against fall and winter germs, colds, and stuffiness?

Winter can be tough (maybe tougher in some places than others) but wellness doesn’t have to be.
As we move from fall to winter with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season— like the changing seasons we also must allow ourselves to transition and slow down.
Be sure to take time to care for yourself. And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Eat real foods. Stay hydrated. Wash your hands. Get adequate rest. Surround yourself with positive influences.
Additionally herbs and aromatherapy can support wellness.
Syrups made with thyme or elderberry can support immune health as can “fire cider”.
Germ fighting essential oils can be diffused, sprayed, rolled on, or used in cleaning.
