Spring has sprung - let’s spruce up some self care as we run head on into spring! 

Spring is special this year because it dawned early with Easter taking place the last week of March instead of mid-April. The hope of this blog is to spruce up some spring feelings because we all need a change of seasons.  Every season has its purpose and is beautiful in its own way. Coming out of winter, with Easter you may be reminded of the newness of life and the renewal that is available to us through a relationship with Jesus.  In a less significant way, spring is also a time to enter a renewal for mind, body, and home.

Here are the TOP 10 essential oils for every home:

BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW YOUR OILS ARE SOURCED.

Disclaimer: I am only talking about doTERRA essential oils where I know the strain of the plant, the sourcing, testing and purity. DO NOT use my tips with other essential oil brands! 

And the top 10 are:

Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, Oregano, OnGuard, Frankincense, Digestzen, Tea Tree, Breathe, and Deep Blue

We’re all striving for balance (it’s actually one of my favorite essential oils) but.... is it possible?!!!!?????

Balance between natural solutions and modern medicine?

Balance between using an oil for everything and never using natural solutions?

Balance between living naturally and being over the top about everything being 'bad'!?

Balance in eating healthy and indulging?

Balance in working out and rest days?

Balance in living 'healthy' and YOLO?!

Every day is a new day.

Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses. Many people assume we are born with the skills needed to deal with life’s stressors, but we are not born with healthy emotional expression, boundary setting, or emotional intelligence tools.
