Hi everybody!
Welcome to my blog. I hope you get something out of it…even if it’s just a reassuring feeling that you’re normal and you’re awesome.
Welcome to my blog. I hope you get something out of it…even if it’s just a reassuring feeling that you’re normal and you’re awesome.
Starting a blog has opened up my heart and soul to sharing ALL THE THINGS! The bad things, the good things, the helpful things, the relate-able things…even the “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I want to know more” things. Young Living has given me some seriously powerful insight to the overall wellness of my family. Because it has brought about so many positive lifestyle changes for us, why wouldn’t I want to give you the opportunity to bask in all its glory?
Premium Starter Kit Oils
Essential oils are super concentrated, naturally derived oils from plants…all parts of plants! Using botanical materials like flowers, roots, seeds, shrubs, and trees, oils can be extracted using four methods: steam distilled, cold pressed, extracted, or resin distilled. All Young Living oils are 100% pure. Read more about Young Living’s Seed to Seal standards.
There are endless possibilities here. Over time, I have become very conscious and creative about using essential oils. The three most common uses are aromatic, topical, and internal. I diffuse morning, day, and night—in our bedroom, living room, and kids’ rooms. Aromatic use is exactly what it sounds like. We get to enjoy all the benefits of oils as we enter almost every room in our house. I use EO’s topically on our Vita Flex points. (WHAT?!) Head over to There’s An Oil For That, where essential oil blogger Tash offers an awesome explanation of flex points. Essential oils can also be ingested using veggie capsules or adding it directly to your food/beverages. I have posted a few of our favorite recipes on my Instagram highlight—Oily Foods—where I used Vitality oils to replace dried herbs. Who remembers to buy those, anyway?
Other than my personal choices to lead a healthy and wholesome life, these babies were a huge influence when starting my wellness journey. I love having the option to use all natural remedies when I’m helping these tiny humans through life’s biggest milestones. Click here to learn more about our baby and kid friendly oil routines.
““Aromatherapy is a caring, hands on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body, and soul.” ”
Sleep deprivation, anxiety, stress, depression…these are just a few of the reasons why I am so dedicated and passionate about using essential oils. I consider my role as an oil-er to be on a continuously educated spectrum. I have found particular oils that target exactly what I am feeling or what I need to maintain a sound mind. My people depend on me. Oils won’t make me the perfect wife/mom/friend, but they sure as hell support me during my toughest moments. Aromatic and topical use has improved our sleep, our moods, and our attitudes.
The woes of life are inevitable, especially when you’ve got tots who bring home snotty germs. Oils have aided us all when we’ve experienced tummy troubles, skin nuisances, coughs/congestion, or just a run down immune system. I can’t say enough about the benefits of Thieves. Along with other EO’s, it has kicked sickness’s ass and prevented a lot of sleepless nights in the Zizinia household. Not to mention, mama is feeling refreshed and rejuvenated thanks to an oily face regimen that is fighting acne and aging.
I make it a point to give myself time to reconnect with my spirituality. Regardless of your beliefs, meditation is so good for the soul. So is surrounding yourself with the people you love. Diffusing everyday gives me that much needed me time. And it makes for a very welcoming and warm environment for every other soul that walks in to your home.
