THE RESEARCH
What we expect to be true, is that, like most other essential oils, the historical uses will be proven once studied! What we know for certain is that Black Spruce essential oil is made up of many powerful, active ingredients including alpha-pinene, camphene, beta-pinene. And we know a LOT about these...
Hippies from the 60s used patchouli for a variety of reasons. It's unique, and pungent odor was unfortunately most well known for its use in incense in an effort to hide the smell of marijuana. They also used it to help calm them once the high wore off and they believed it helped with arousal. They were onto some things, but there is so much more. You should see the NIH research. . .

The season that is magical for children, and supposedly filled with fun and family isn't joy, joy, joy all the time - for anyone. The idea that it 'should' be the most joyous time of year is flawed and leaves us feeling empty before the season even begins. . .

Even more reasons...
When we lack something like motivation, we often look to our friends, family or co-workers who have what we want and then do our best to adopt their ways, thinking we'll get the same results. Sometimes it works. But not every personality type is motivated the same way. . .

Self-care is all about taking care of YOU, but it is not selfish if your motives are pure. The truth is that when we fail to care for ourselves, we give our friends, families, and the world a lesser version of ourselves. Less healthy, less active, less fun, less happy, less encouraging, and a shorter life span - these are just some of the results we get when we don't take care of ourselves. Our families and friends deserve better and for goodness sakes, it's no sin to admit, I want to enjoy life for my own well-being!
Self-care for your mind, body and soul helps you:
- feel better physically and emotionally
- look at the bright side, and count your blessings even when life is hard
- laugh and be silly more often
- have healthier...
We are back to busy, busy, busy, feeling stretched too thin and maybe a little bit bitter because we want to do eh-ver-re-thing - and we can't!
While it's true that mental health drastically fell during the pandemic, being too busy and the negative feelings associated with it, affect every circle of our lives.1
The 4 Circles:
1. Biological - your physical body - how it functions.
2. Psychological - your mind, your will and how and what you think.
3. Spiritual - your spirit - your sense of meaning and purpose for life, your core values & what guides/grounds you.
4. Social - your support system - connections to family, friends and others - how do you feel about these relationships.
Stress has clear connections to disease,2 can lead to depression, diminishes our fulfillment, may cause

Read more...Vision and maximizing beautiful experiences are important to us and you too, right?! Can you imagine doing the things you love, or being with your loved ones and not being able to see? When our vision deteriorates we typically fix our problem by getting glasses or contacts. However, most of us do nothing to keep our eyes healthy. So we continue to have symptoms like bags under our eyes, poor night vision or further loss of sight.
No one expects to get an eye disease, yet 11 million people in the US have macular degeneration1 and experts predict 3 million new cases this year. Even more scary - 90% of those diagnosed will become legally blind. If you've thought you're too young to worry about eye health... keep reading.

Quite frankly, I didn't know until recently, that soap causing dry skin and hangnails was also destroying my skin's microbiome. But I've learned! And sometimes, knowledge is power, or at least powerful in that it makes me want to make a change.1

5 ingredients & 15 minutes — that’s all it takes to prep this healthy homemade ice cream!
The flavor of lavender is becoming increasingly popular in desserts, but many of them don’t even contain lavender. They are filled with artificial flavorings and color. But not this ice cream—or should we say “nice” cream - nicer to your brain and body, that is!
Oils + The BibleWhen we don't understand things in the Bible we often chalk it up to symbolism or as a cultural phenomenon. It was just a few years ago, after a lot of suffering, that I learned about, and began to experience the power God placed in His creation.

Most people know lavender as the essential oil that helps babies, kids, teenagers and adults get restful sleep1💤💤💤 I think it's great because it doesn't induce that sleeping pill hangover!
But lavender is much more than a sleeping aid. It is the the gentle giant that calms the mind, helps people have better focus and attention and is known to benefit every system of the body. The research is astounding!
We've all heard it said, "laughter is the best medicine". It is indeed good medicine, but we have to laugh often to experience lasting benefit. And, it needs to be the right kind of laughter for it to be an effective antidepressant.
You've probably noticed that laughter doesn't happen easily when...
