It has been a while since I have written and there several reasons for that.
I got lost in my vision
I felt insecure about where I was going with my future goals
I didn’t feel like I had a good message for you
I don’t like my blog and want to make drastic changes
The pandemic hit (are we still allowed to use this as an excuse?)
And the biggest reason was that I stopped prioritizing my writing and chose to use my time in other areas.
However, one thing that I continue to hear is to keep going and making progress towards my future goals. If you want to actually meet your goals, you must take small steps every single day towards that goal, or else your brain stops being motivated for your future. I am really good at surviving (doing the dishes, picking up after the kids, getting groceries, cooking, etc.) I am also really good at self-care (detox baths, exercising, eating well, meditating, reading books). But none of these actual activities activates my brain to think or move towards the future. So here is to a new year and I plan to be more open and vulnerable on here and write more consistently even though I want to make massive changes to all of this. My visions are big as where I want to go, and I know that bringing you along with me is important. Not only does it keep me accountable, but I also hope (part of my vision) to inspire something inside of you so that you too can start making those steps towards your future goals. I am not a certified life coach, nor a certified nutritionist, nor a therapist, but I have certainly studied, surrounded myself around these people, and have practiced a lot on myself that I feel comfortable helping and serving others in these areas as best as I can.
So here I am right now and ready to start supporting you in your goals and dreams. We all start at different places. We stop and lose focus (I am one to do this myself, so no judgment here), but let’s start making a commitment to ourselves to start making at least 3 small steps each day towards those goals. What does your future self look like? What is your future self doing? Are you more fit? Are you sleeping better? Do you have more energy? Are you traveling more? Are you debt-free? Did you rebuild some relationships? Is your marriage stronger? Have you stepped away from bad relationships? These questions are important. The better we can visualize our future, the more realistic it will feel in our brain and our brain will actually think the future is already happening. Pretty cool don’t you think? Have you ever written down your future goals and dreams in the present tense? For example, it may sound something like this:
I am so grateful that I am fit, sleeping well, and feeling like my best self. I appreciate everything my body has done for me, and I will continue to love and respect myself. Money is easily coming in and I love all the trips my family is able to go on. We have bonded in so many ways on our trips and exploring the world, and I have cherished each moment. I love how my marriage is stronger than it has ever been, my relationship with my kids has a strong foundation with trust, love, and respect. I am exactly where I need to be as am loved just as I am.
Can you visualize this person? Do you see what she looks like and what type of life she is living? It is crazy, but I am telling you it works. I write out all of my goals and visions (some long-term and some short-term) into the present tense and read them every single day. Then I make a list for the day and list 3 things that I need to be focused on towards my future goals. If I don’t know how to start, then my task is to simply look on youtube, read a book, or ask someone about how to achieve it. Having a plan and taking action on that plan is how you achieve your future goals.
No matter what your goals are for this year, your goals and future self will be much easier to accomplish if you are feeling good and incorporating healthy habits. Even if your goals are specifically focused on finances, leaving a bad relationship, or changing your career, your brain, your energy, your ability to make the best decision will have a lot to do with how well your body is functioning. Sleep, exercise, eating well, and living in a clean environment are all critical for your health. During the month of January, I am focusing on just that. Cleaning out the cobwebs a bit and looking at the areas I can uplevel so that I can continue to keep my brain sharp, feel happy inside, and live my best life. Let’s be honest, I am certainly not going to be living my best life if I am constantly tired, yelling at the kids, tripping over toys, and shoving clothes in drawers. So, let’s dive in on some really simple ways to uplevel that will not cost you any extra time in your day, will support your health, and give you the clarity to focus on those goals.
Most of you who are reading this are oilers, so whether you are new to the oil life (#welcome) or have been using your oils for a while, let’s dive into the wellness lifestyle overview. Did you know that a wellness lifestyle is so much more than just diffusing oils? dōTERRA’s Wellness Lifestyle Pyramid illustrates how wellness is a combination of lifestyle and healthcare. When you focus on your whole lifestyle, health is achieved naturally. The Wellness Pyramid is broken up into 80% lifestyle, and 20% healthcare. It’s the small, everyday habits that make the biggest impact:
Eating Right
Exercise
Rest & Stress Management
Reducing Toxic Load
Each of these can be tackled every day with simple and easy swaps. Following this pyramid is exactly how I got a better handle on my health. I focused on one category at a time, created new habits, and moved on to the next. You get to decide in what area you start at and then simply pick the next category. Ask yourself, what are you needing the most care in, and then go from there.
Healthcare is made up of informed self-care (understanding how to take care of your body naturally) and proactive medical care. For those times when you need support from a specialist, partner with a practitioner who supports you in finding the best scientific and natural solutions.
We aren’t anti-hospital, we’re pro-HEALTHcare.💪
With a wellness lifestyle, you’ll start to focus on becoming healthy from the outside in.
Let’s dive into some simple ditch and switch products that will make a significant change to your health:
Eating Right:
Fueling Our Bodies with the right Supplements:
Did you know that most supplements are not fully absorbed in our bodies? This is because the grocery store supplements are not fully bioavailable. When we focus on giving our bodies what they need, we thrive. It all starts with optimal daily nutrition and digestive support. dōTERRA whole-food supplements are an ideal companion for your essential oils. Let’s chat about the foundation that everyone should start with— Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV). LLV offers crucial bioavailable micronutrients and cellular support. Lifelong Vitality is made up of xEO Mega, Microplex VMz, and Alpha CRS. This pack is full of essential nutrients, metabolism benefits, and powerful antioxidants designed to help promote energy, health, and lifelong vitality. What’s a HUGE bonus is the ability to customize your kit by choosing up to three additional products at significant savings (LRP Only).
If you have littles, we also have kid’s vitamins as well. Kick the Flintstones to the curb, seriously!
We want our kids to build strong and healthy bodies. They need solid a foundation (just like us). That starts with A2Z Chewables and IQ Mega.
A2Z Chewables support healthy cell development and longevity when taken daily. These are perfect for children (recommended for 4 and over) and adults that have difficulty swallowing.
A2Z Chewables:
Create a healthy foundation of vitamins and minerals
Support healthy cellular health
Are great for cognitive brain function
IQ Mega is a flavorful omega-3 fish oil supplement (seriously, it just tastes like Wild Orange). IQ Mega contains the essential nutrients DHA and EPA to support healthy brain, cardiovascular, immune, and joint function.
Pro Tip → add this to your veggie capsules when you take essential oils internally.
Digestion
Digestion is something most people do not want to talk about, but when you finally find the relief you cannot stop talking about it.
Two crucial supplements that have supported my everyday gut health have been PB Assist (and PB Assist Jr.) and Terrazyme.
First, I take a good probiotic every day. PB Assist and PB Assist Jr. provide healthy intestinal flora and immune support. Your immune system lives within your gut. Pro Tip → Switch up PB Assist and PB Assist Jr. to diversify your probiotics. When you have a healthy gut you feel less bloated, your digestion is more regular, and feel healthier overall.
Secondly, I love TerraZyme. DigestZen TerraZyme® is a proprietary blend of active whole-food enzymes. I take this supplement after every meal (and when I decide to treat myself). This supplement helps with the digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.
Pro Tip → Take one terrazyme first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to help flush out any “dust bunnies” hanging around.
Fiber, Greens, and Protein
We could all use a little more support in our nutrition. We never seem to get enough fiber or protein or fat in our diets. Doterra has a nutrition line with Protein, Fiber, and Greens we can supplement with to support our bodies when we have a cupcake (or two). It’s called balance. Starting your day off with plenty of good fat (grass-fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil) and greens will also help you not crave carbs. Then add in some of doTERRA’s supplements, and you will be set! If you are looking to add these into your home and want to know easy & tasty recipes to try, download The Nutrition Line Cookbook: This cookbook has 11 recipes to get you started. Here is an example of what I might eat each day:
Intermittent Fasting until about 12/1:00 (I drink bulletproof coffee each morning which does not interfere with my fasting)
Steamed spinach with 2 tbsps of butter, topped with a fried egg (cooked in 1 tbsp of butter), broccoli sprouts half of an avocado, and flavored with hymalian salt, and pepper
Snack - sliced apples with almond butter and grass-fed butter or a smoothie with our nutrition line. I try and keep my smoothies low on the fruit though. Just a few berries and then pack the rest with greens like dinosaur kale or spinach.
Dinner - This is when I will eat my carbs as carbs will make you want to sleep and there is no better time to sleep than at night, right? I will also have some protein and veggies.
If I have a sweet tooth after dinner, I will grab some fruit such as an orange or make myself some tea.
Hydration
We have all heard and have been told to drink more water, but seriously, we need to drink more water! Our bodies are made up of 80% water. We’re essentially cucumbers with anxiety! We should be replenishing our body with 1/2 oz of water for every pound we weigh. For example, a 130-pound person should be drinking 75 oz of water every day to keep your digestion, brain, and body functioning regularly.
If you do not like drinking water, but know you need to, add a few drops of Lemon, Tangerine, Wild Orange, or Grapefruit essential oils to help flavor your water, aid in digestion, and cleanse your body.

2. Exercise
Post Workout:
Movement is essential to having a healthy body. Exercise does not have to be a long and exhausting routine. I really do think that because we think we need to go into this full routine that we get overwhelmed and run out of time. Everyone can fit in a 10-minute workout. I promise. If you can’t, then you simply don’t want to. It has actually shown that those that do HIIT workouts (short workouts that increase your heart rate quickly) are getting better exercise than those that do hour-long spin classes. You are certainly welcome to go to a spin class, but just know that you can lose weight, have muscle tone, and feel great with just a 10-30 minute workout at your home.
Exercise can boost your metabolism, support healthy blood pressure, give you mental clarity, and support healthy digestion and heart function. I ditched the gym membership several years ago and have become more fit and toned with my 30 minutes or less exercise routine right at my home. I also try and get a 20-minute walk (I am walking the dogs, so I am not doing any speed walking) before noon to help support my circadian rhythm.
Whether you are an avid exerciser, or just getting back into the habit, soothing your sore muscles is part of any workout routine.
Post-workout, I love using the Deep Blue Line or taking a relaxing bath.
To your bath add:
2 cups of Epsom Salts
½ cup Baking Soda
3 drops Frankincense
2 drops Copaiba
2 drops Lemongrass
1 drop Marjoram
Mix your oils, salts, and baking soda together, and then add to your bathwater.
Soak and relax.
**Post bath, if you plan to use your Deep Blue Rub, wait 20 minutes before applying. You’ll thank me. 😉
Energy:
Sometimes we are really tired and need some extra energy to get us going. I know so well how it feels to be out of the exercise routine and trying to get back into the habit to move my body. Every ounce of my being tells me no and to avoid it. But I have a trick for you that will rock your world! Creating healthy and natural energy gets you out of that rut very quickly!
Grab Mito2Max before a workout or long day of work. Mito2Max is a healthy, long-term alternative to caffeinated drinks and supplements for increased energy and vitality.
In my opinion, Mito2Max does not get as much praise as it should. Mito2Max is a blend of adaptogenic herbs and extracts made to increase mitochondrial biogenesis and overall energy while decreasing the stress response of physical activity and life in general. When you have more energy you feel better overall!
Take 2 capsules in the morning as a healthy long-term alternative to caffeinated drinks and supplements. I promise you will be impressed with the results! Remember when I said that I take a terrazyme first thing in the morning? I also take a Mito2Max along with that. My second dose is with my LLV after I break my fast around noon.
Drop a GIF of what you feel like without coffee.
Happy Joints and Muscles:
As we talk about exercise and you are either getting back into the habit of wanting to create even more muscle tone, soreness is no joke! It can also make it really hard to continue to work out each day if it is hard to move your body. This is why I love the deep blue line. I am telling you as an advocate exerciser, this deep blue line has saved me and I have been able to continue to work out.
My favorite new product to come out of the 2021 Convention has got to be the Deep Blue Stick.
There are several reasons that the Deep Blue Line has a cult-like following.
Enhance your workout. Rub on muscles before and after exercise to reduce discomfort.
After all day at your computer, try rubbing Deep Blue essential oil blend on the shoulders and neck to recover and ease muscle tension. #deskjobwoes
When the kids come home with a few bumps from their sports activities, apply Deep Blue to affected areas to help support localized blood flow.
When you realize you’re not 18 anymore. #IYKYK 😆 You’ve over-exerted yourself playing touch football like the good ‘ole days. Apply Deep Blue to support healthy blood flow and promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Healthy Inflammatory Response
One of the reasons it can be hard to get our bodies exercising again is because of the extra inflammation we are carrying around. The foods we eat (talking to you processed sugar and nightshades), stress (thanks pandemic), lack of sleep, and toxins around our home can all create over inflamed bodies. Extra inflammation wears us down, makes us tired and sick feeling, and does not give us that willpower to get up and move. Creating a healthy inflammatory response in our bodies will turn that around, plus create a healthier immune system, and make us a poor host to viruses. I would like to share with you a few products we use daily to help create just this.
Turmeric powder has been all the rage in the health and wellness world, but the Turmeric essential oil is where we really find the greatest benefits of the spice.
We can use Turmeric to/ for:
Helping support healthy metabolic functions
Promote overall cellular health
Helps support healthy cellular integrity
Supports the immune system’s natural functions
If you are ready to take Turmeric to the next level, you should try the Turmeric Dual Chamber Capsules.
These capsules combine the complementary benefits of both turmeric essential oil with the joint support of the curcuminoids of turmeric extract in a unique and convenient delivery system. Turmeric capsules support a healthy inflammatory response in the body as well as fight free radicals to protect the body from oxidative stress.
**Take two Turmeric Dual Chamber Capsules daily as needed to support an active lifestyle. I take mine with my LLV
Healthy Cells
When it comes to supporting healthy inflammation I always turn to Copaiba and Frankincense. I love to keep the Touch versions in my bathroom and apply them each day. If you do go to the gym, these would be great to throw in your bag and apply before and afterwards.
Frankincense Touch is prediluted with fractionated coconut oil and is all ready for topical use. Apply to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections or roll on pulse points to support the mind and body during meditation or in times of stress.
Copaiba is one of the best oils to use for temporary discomfort and having it suspended in fractionated coconut oil allows it to penetrate deeper into the blood flow layer of your skin to maximize its benefits.
You can also use Frankincense Touch and Copaiba Touch topically to keep skin clean and clear. Roll on to keep your skin youthful and moisturized. #helloglow
Who can say no to pampering your skin while also supporting a healthy inflammatory response and immune system?
Healthy Breathing
Having a good oxygen intake while you exercise is essential! Opening up your respiratory system and sinuses can really help support your workouts. Want to increase your oxygen intake when you exercise? Or just to breathe a bit easier when you sleep? I swear by Breathe.
Breathe makes it easy to take simple respiratory support on the go when seasonal threats are high (just swipe on the bottoms of your feet or over your chest). Roll Breathe Touch on your chest before exercising to support opening your airways. Rub on neck, chest, back, or bottom of feet to promote restful sleep. I have become obsessed with these diffuser blends with Breathe, especially during this winter season to help support our breathing.
3. Rest and Stress Management
Better Sleep:
Ever feel like a good night’s rest or even a nap can solve almost all of your problems?
Work is insane. 👉Take a nap.
Kids just won’t stop. 👉Take a nap.
The world feels like it’s falling apart. 👉Nap.
Sleep is known to improve your mood and give your body the opportunity to repair and regenerate. Approximately 80 percent of health problems are estimated to be the result of persistent stress. Essential oils provide dynamic support to help relax, get consistent quality sleep and create an uplifting environment so you feel centered no matter what life throws your way.
Diffuse some Adaptiv and pop 1-2 Serenity softgels and say good night!
Some other important areas to look into if you aren’t getting good quality sleep:
A good mattress + pillow
Turn off all screens an hour before bedtime
Make your room dark
Read a book
Take 1 tsp of raw honey before bed
Journal/mediate/prayer
Take a relaxing bath before bed
Whip up this bath time salts blend:
RELAXING BATH SALTS
💧 1 cup Epsom salts
💧10 drops dōTERRA Balance,® dōTERRA Serenity,® or Lavender
Mix your oils and salts together, and pour into the bath. Unwind for 15-20 minutes.
Stress Management:
Stress is an area that can significantly impact our sleep which can impact our next day’s performance and start a vicious cycle! Everyone responds to stress differently, and therefore everyone uses something different to support themselves.
Along with proper sleep, exercise, daily meditation, and talking to a close friend, essential oils are a wonderful tool to help support your body through difficult periods.
While meditating, diffuse your favorite calming oils. I love to diffuse Balance, Adaptiv, Citrus Bliss, or Cheer to help ground me and allow me to release stress.
Another fantastic product to support stress is the Adaptiv line. I may just scream praises about this product from the rooftops! But, you can’t really blame me.
The Adaptiv Line is perfect for relaxing the mind and body. Use it for your most stressful moments - a big day at work, PTA meetings, potty training - or other big events! Adaptiv is perfect for studying to increase focus and to calm any nerves.
The Adaptiv® Calming Blend (both the blend and Touch roller) comes to the rescue during life's most demanding moments. Just pop a couple of drops in the diffuser or roll on to create a calming atmosphere.
When you need a little more support, Adaptiv capsules combine clinically studied botanicals with a blend of essential oils to help adapt to stressful situations.
4. Reducing Toxic Load:
This is an area that I did not initially prioritize when uplevling my health, however, it is when I decided to work on this did I start seeing and feeling the biggest change. I was absolutely amazed about how much better I felt and is now one of my favorite areas to really help support and teach others in.
Have you ever heard about the Environmental Working Group? They’re all about reducing the toxic load in your home, just like me.
Toxins and phthalates are lurking everywhere in your home. From the soaps and detergents in your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, to the products you put on your body and don’t ever give a second thought to.
I will show you a few simple ways to switch out some everyday products around your home to help support your health.
But first! Download the EWG App here. I want you to scan a product you use regularly in your home or on your body. It is really interesting to see what is in the products you are using.
The Kitchen:
This past Convention, we got a whole new line of household products. The Abōde Line has been amazing!!
Abōde is a brand new powerhouse blend that is focused primarily on keeping your environment clean and safe.
The abōde blend is made up of distilled Lime, Litsea, Cassia, Lemon Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Arborvitae, Kochi Eucalyptus, Cilantro, Lavandin, and Lemon Myrtle essential oils. This blend contains powerful cleansing properties that are perfect for cleaning your home (and it delivers a fresh, citrusy aroma that screams CLEAN).
In your kitchen (and bathroom) you now have a brand new Abōde Cleaner Concentrate, Dish Soap, and Dishwasher Pods.
You can see how these products rate on the EWG.
The Bathroom
When it comes to all the things in the bathroom that have toxins in them, I bet that hand soap and lotion aren’t the first things you think of. It’s primarily due to the fragrances found inside of them. Fragrances are proprietary to many companies and therefore they don’t have to disclose all of the nasty ingredients found in them. Which is a bigger red flag than eating sushi at a gas station. Luckily for us, dōTERRA thought of that for us. dōTERRA created the abōde Foaming Hand Wash Concentrate and Hand Lotion infused with Citrus Bloom. The dōTERRA abōde Foaming Hand Wash Concentrate allows you to use less and get more out of your product. It is infused with Citrus Bloom and gently cleanses hands without drying out your skin. Just mix 1 part concentrate with 3 parts purified water, toss in your favorite foaming soap dispenser (like the brand new glass abode soap dispenser), and get ready for fresh, cleansed hands. This foaming hand wash is a perfect addition to any bathroom or kitchen. Pairing perfectly with the dōTERRA abōde Foaming Hand Wash is the abōde Hand Lotion. With all of the environmental threats (AKA free radicals) in our world, one area we can be proactive in is what we put on our skin. The abōde hand lotion formula contains moisturizers and humectants that leave skin silky smooth and nourished. With how much we are all washing our hands lately, this hydration is so needed.
The Laundry
The majority of laundry detergents are filled with toxic ingredients, doTERRA has leveled up the game...again! When we wash our laundry, the water doesn’t rinse away everything. The fragrance left behind lingers on our skin, which day after day can negatively impact our health. The dōTERRA abōde Laundry Pods were created to provide the deep clean and stain-lifting power we love while keeping our colors vibrant without the phthalates that other companies include with their detergents. The dōTERRA abōde Laundry Pods are concentrated, powerful, and effective. The inclusion of natural enzymes and surfactant-cleansing agents to break down stains while being safe for your and the environment.
You can add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oils to your favorite home cleaner or linen sprays. Drop a few drops on your wool dryer balls, or drop it in the diffuser to keep the fresh scent locked in all day long.
Pro Tip: Before you toss this in your washer, make sure you swap your toggle to powder vs liquid.
Your Body:
Did you know that the average woman puts on 515 synthetic chemicals on their body in a day? A single day!
Think about it, you wake and…
👉 Brush your teeth - toothpaste and mouthwash
👉 Wash your face - soap, lotions, creams, makeup
👉 Perfume - enough said (remember “fragrance”?)
👉 Put on deodorant - aluminum anyone?
And those are just on the top of my head. Thinking back to the small, daily habits that add up over time, here is where we can really stand to cut out a lot of toxins. Switch your deodorant to the Balance deodorant. Change out your toothpaste to On Guard Toothpaste. Just consistent and easy swaps that slowly over time add up.
Try scanning one of your personal products on the EWG app. What are you swapping out?
Deodorant:
Did you know that parabens (a common toxic chemical found in deodorants) can act like estrogen and disrupt your hormones? You are also applying this on your lymph nodes and near your breast, a very important area to keep happy cells and blood flow. Making this switch costs you no extra time at all! Sweating is actually really important so anytime a deodorant blocks sweat, your body will simply find a different place to release the sweat. Also tip - the healthier you eat and the more you detox, the less your sweat stinks. So toss that deodorant in the trash and grab a non-toxic deodorant. Doterra sells several different great options or you can make your own recipe. I’ll be honest, I simply roll on Immortelle (just need a few swipes) once a day and I am good to go. If you like DIY’s, check out these 2 recipes below:
Recipe 1:
8 drops Clary Sage
8 drops Siberian Fir
8 drops Melaleuca
Fill the rest with your choice of deodorant base like fractionated coconut oil or a magnesium spray.
Benefits: Melaleuca is highly purifying, cleanses the skin, and supports the immune system function, Clary Sage has a lovely light aroma and is wonderful for supporting the hormonal system, Siberian Fir is soothing to the skin, is grounding, helps to ease the emotions.
Recipe 2:
6 drops Clary Sage
6 drops Siberian Fir
6 drops Melaleuca
6 drops Frankincense
6 drops Copaiba
2 drops of Blue Tansy
Fill the rest with your choice of deodorant base like fractionated coconut oil or a magnesium spray.
Benefits: Frankincense is a master cleanser on the cellular level and is incredible for supporting deep work and protecting the cells and activating the immune system. Copaiba is a heavy hitter as an antioxidant, promotes clear, smooth skin, clams and supports the nervous system, and is another powerhouse oil like Frankincense. Blue Tansy is a precious and highly prized oil, incredible at calming an inflammatory response, supporting the immune system, and aiding in histamine response. (This will temporarily cause the skin to be blue, it will fade!). Melaleuca is highly purifying, cleanses the skin, and supports the immune system function, Clary Sage has a lovely light aroma and is wonderful for supporting the hormonal system
5. Informed Self Care:
Informed Self Care and Proactive Medical Care are the remaining 20% of the Wellness Lifestyle Pyramid. It can feel a bit overwhelming when you first start using essential oils as your first line of defense in your home.
👉Have some nasty head tension? It can be easy to reach for the little white bottle. Try Peppermint on your temples first.
👉Did you burn your hand on the stove again? Try Lavender to soothe occasional skin irritations.
When it comes to Proactive Medical Care, find a physician that wants to work with your healthy lifestyle.
