Forget spritzing Febreze or Acqua di Gio in the bedroom. I did the nerdy research for you and these are the scents that are gonna stoke up the sexy for you on Valentine’s Day 💗:
Coriander Essential Oil Uses
To be honest, this was one of the last doTerra oils I added to my collection. All I knew about coriander was that there was an old bottle of the dried variety collecting dust at the back of my spice cabinet. (now being used as a photo prop! 😄)
When I finally got around to getting a bottle of Coriander essential oil, I was so pleasantly surprised.
First, I LOVE the smell! 👃 Unlike other herbal oils, it’s mild and sweet. Most other herb-y oils don’t get used in my diffuser much, but Coriander is fresh, delicate & “green”.
Since Coriander got into my good graces with its scent, I started finding other ways to use it:
Essential Oils for Weight Management: Hello Slim & Sassy!
The number one New Year’s Resolution made each year is some version of getting fit and healthy. Whether that means working out more, eating better or losing weight, we’ve all made this goal!
I have a bad habit of “mindless eating”. Or to be more precise, “procrastination eating”.
My SAHM and WAHM sisters, know what I’m talking about!
Somehow we think there will be a MIRACULOUS RESOLUTION to that task (calling the insurance company/finishing a blog post/doing the laundry/writing a report) we are putting off…and that answer just might be in the refrigerator!
doTerra Essential Oils: What’s in the Box?! January 2017
When I first started using doTerra essential oils, I heard about their Loyalty Rewards Program, (LRP), which is a monthly order you make that can be customized and changed every month.
Being a newbie oiler, and familiar with just a few of the basics, my first thoughts were:
How could I possibly need that much Lemon and Peppermint?!
and
Do they sell chocolate, cuz getting THAT on a monthly order is def something I’m into!
Passion Planning: How to Plan Your Day for Success
There are those who love planning and those who don’t.
For planners (like me!), brain-dumping your must-dos onto a calendar and then being able to cross them off with a satisfying checkmark has the same feeling of accomplishment as when Rocky runs up the steps in Philly.
Now, before all you plan-lovers out there get smug about how you color code all your activities and decorate them with washi tape, you must admit, we Planners have a DARK SIDE.
It’s so embarrassing, you don’t want to admit it to others…or even yourself!
Essential Oils for Working Out
When you’re starting a new habit, like working out, consistency is the key! Unfortunately, EXCUSES become the little chinks in the armor of your resolve to keep going.
Any of these sounds familiar???
- “I had a tough day”
- “I didn’t eat enough”
- “I’ll skip today, but start again tomorrow”
- “I’m sore from yesterday”
We all know how THAT turns out! 😜
Essential Oils for Halloween Hangover Help
Got a post-Halloween candy hangover? I might have “tested” the goodies a little overzealously before handing them out last night!
No hair of the dog for me this morning, instead I’m having a nice green salad to try and equalize the crap-to-healthy intake ratio.
I’ve also got these two oils on hand to help erase my sugary binge:
Essential Oil DIY: Monster Be Gone Spray
This weekend we ventured to the Halloween store as a last ditch effort to find a Luke Skywalker costume for my 5 y.o. (Apparently, Luke is “out” & Finn is “in” this year!)
We had to walk past the creepy masks section and automated terrifying decorations, to get to the kids costumes, and my little guy was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Later, at bedtime, he says he couldn’t sleep thinking about all those scary things from the store. Poor guy!
doTerra Convention 2016 ONE
The BEAUTY of working with a direct selling company is you work for yourself—woohoo! Who’s the boss?! ME!!! 😃
The BUMMER of working with a direct selling company is you work for yourself—boohoo! Who’s the boss?! ME!!! 😞
Yes, it’s awesome to be in charge of your own destiny and make your own rules, but it can get LONLEY. There’s no boss poking her head in your office telling you to get off Instagram and get back to work!
Fortunately, with a direct sales company, you’re not entirely on your own. In my case, I have this incredible company, doTerra, (and a great team!) to support me.
How to Use Essential Oils for Cooking
Since our sense of smell is directly tied to our sense of taste. Many times when I open a bottle of oil, someone will say
That smells so good, I want to eat it!
Well, in fact, essential oils are great to use in kitchen!
And it’s not just that they boost flavor in your recipes, using essential oils for cooking has other benefits.
