When you have no energy because your body is trying to heal itself and putting the extra energy you had into that how do you keep going? I have been sick the last few days and I really want to go to yoga this morning. I am still tired because my body is still fighting the infection. I have to interject at this point and say how thankful I am that I have essential oils on hand. If I hadn’t had them I’m sure I would [...]
There are different ways each of us learns lessons in life. Sometimes we have to learn them from our own experiences and sometimes we can learn them from others. Ten years ago I had my last son. During my pregnancy weird things were happening to me (ie I had a continuous cough and strange pains) and the doctor told me I was allergic to being pregnant. I thought he was off his rocker but he put me on some allergy medicine and the symptoms went away. [...]

So what is a solution to all of this. We live a very busy lifestyle as most of [...]
Today I wanted to share with you some things you can use to support yourself emotionally during this time of change. Most of us know what triggers us to overeat or do any other self destructive behavior. I use the example of overeating because that is a very common one and I myself can fall into this trap. So how do we support ourselves emotionally? I know a few oils that can support in this and I would love to share them with you. My first [...]
As we start working on our goals that we set at the beginning of the year we can do great for the first few weeks especially when it comes to fitness. Gyms and businesses that sell fitness equipment know this and count on it. They know either the membership or equipment will get used for a month then our commitment to getting healthy seems to dwindle. Why?

Well it has been awhile. I have gone through the ups and downs of eating healthy and have trained for a relay race. Eating has been an interesting journey that I have a love/hate relationship with.

One day I broke down and ate a hamburger and found I didn’t enjoy it as much as I used to neither did [...]
