Thank you @salveregina & @salvereginacsd for having me this week to share aromatherapy & essential oils. It was amazing meeting so many students & faculty — Talking chemistry of essential oils & how individual chemical constituents effect the body with two chemistry professors; the emotional & stress relieving benefits for college students in particular with a psychology professor; how to reduce pain, inflammation & prevent injury with the athletic strength & conditioning coach; the importance of natural options with an international pre-med student; the rampant addiction to Juuling on college campuses & one student’s senior project to create a product using aromatherapy as a means to change that; every single student who came up to the table saying “how stressed they were” & left feeling (& visibly looking) more calm & relaxed; students talking amongst themselves about the importance of quality; & one that was the most simple, yet profound: a group of college dudes walking past & one says “what’s all this?” And another of the dudes replies without a flinch, “It’s doTERRA”. @hol_fit you’re right when you said doTERRA will be as ubiquitous as Kleenex. You’ve never heard someone ask, “Do you have any facial tissue?” They ask, “Do you have a Kleenex?” And soon the average person will ask “Do you have any doTERRA?” & everyone around them will know exactly what they mean. It’s in the moments of teaching that I often feel I learn the most & in sharing that I feel the most filled up. Thanks @lrtheo & @marleymichaud for hangin’ & helping me this week 🤗, @cconnellyy for creating & putting this wellness week together 🙏🏼, & @oneworldcacao @kimfullerphotography @studiobarrenewport @innerlightyogaandmeditation @reflexologybysharonmarie for brining your talent & knowledge to support the next generation ✨ So stoked I just got these really fun essential oil rollers & labels in 🌿 If you go to @salveregina, pop over to Miley Hall 11am-1pm Monday & Wednesday this week during Wellness Week hosted by @salvereginacsd. I’ll be showing you how to take an Aromatherapy break & DIY these blends ✌🏼 I’ll also be set up Friday for the whole day with Aromatherapy & teaching one of the yoga classes ✨ Can’t wait to hang & share wellness with these peeps next week @oneworldcacao @reflexologybysharonmarie @lrtheo @marleymichaud @cconnellyy @kimfullerphotography I've FINALLY compiled all my favorite products, DIYs, & tips into one Green Cleaning Guide! 🌿 So while you’re Marie Kondo’ing the rest of your house this Spring, take a peek at your cleaning products & consider making some healthier, non-toxic swaps — that will actually save you time & money. I'm all about simple & versatile, so even if you're not a DIY type person, I encourage you to give it a go. I've made everything suuuuuper easy. Promise 😘 What’s in the Green Cleaning Guide: 〰️ @doterra & @amazon shopping list 〰️ 25+ DIY (& non-DIY) Recipes 〰️ 25+ Simple Diffuser Blends 〰️ All sorted by room 🙌🏼 〰️ Green Cleaning Starter Kit for newbies 〰️ Video to follow along some recipes 〰️ Links to chemistry, science, PubMed, FDA, EPA, EWG, & more Check out the Green Cleaning Guide blog post here 👉🏼 bit.ly/BWYLGreenCleanGuide (link in bio) 💚 Essential Oils for Stress session at @thrivenewport 〰️ You might be thinking Lavender, duh, but my favorites are actually Frankincense (grounding), Wild Orange (mood uplifting), & Deep Blue (physical tension/stress). And yes, Lavender (for sleep) 😴 📷 @diamandia Last two weekly yoga classes (for now 😘) at @thamesstyoga this week 〰️ Thurs 8am Vinyasa + 6pm Friday Heated Vinyasa 🙏🏼✨ 📷 @jennifer.manville Who wants to join me for weekly Wellness Walks at Sachuest every Friday? Literally just whoever wants to get outside & go for a walk is welcome. I love that we have this nature refuge right in our backyard & I always leave this place feeling lighter, more inspired, & more energized. So I want to make it more of a habit. And I want to invite anyone else who wants to come, to come do the same. And you KNOW I love peepin’ all the animals too. Ok, maybe a big reason I love it is because of the animals 🦌🌳 So... Every Friday, starting this Friday, 8am meet at the beginning of the trail in the parking lot. Who’s in?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ #walkingbuddies #dontleavemehangin #naturetime #friyays #TGIF New England springtime... 🌨 snow in the morning, ☀️ sunshine in the afternoon, pretending like it’s summer 🌊 Loved this oils class of ladies (& yogis!) last night at @ateliernewportri 🙌🏼 And it’s even better when I’m able to partner with a local business to feature & enjoy their space in a new & different way. I love helping people learn how easy, fun, & amazing it can be to make simple changes that change everything 🧡 #naturalwellness #plantmedicine 📷 @maka_lee Tomorrow (Thursday) night! Essential Oils Workshop at @ateliernewportri, 6pm. Swipe for deets 👉🏼 & DM me to RSVP (wanna make sure we have chairs for everyone 🙃) #springishere #letsgetoutofourhouses #toplayandlearn Exploring hikes of Rhode Island with @kevandbomba & @hilaryri. Pretty sure the highest elevation I’ve ever been in the state 😂👍🏼⛰ #hikerhodeisland #oceanstatenotmountainstate Elevation has been LIFE for me lately. I just can’t not put it in a diffuser blend. I’ve been carrying it around. I’ve been just opening the bottle & smelling it. I don’t really know why & that doesn’t really even matter. I trust that acting on my intuition is enough. That my heart & mind speak clearly & it’s my job to LISTEN. This is what using essential oils looks like a lot of the time. Listening, trusting, playing ☺️🤗 〰️ Who else loves the Elevation blend? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Do you have another oil that’s been calling to you lately? 〰️ I’ve got a blog post from about this, you can read it at bit.ly/BWYLintuition ✨ #intuitiveoiling #intuitiveblending 〰️ If you want any diffuser blend inspo, check out my DIFFUSER JAMS IG Highlight. Lots of goodies in there, including some really interesting ones! Long post (& don’t forget to swipe 👉🏼). It started in one direction but my soul took it in another. So here goes. From my heart... 〰️ While it’s a bit too overwhelming to put into words what going to a doTERRA corporate event is like, I’ll try. 〰️ Because it’s probably not really what you think. And it’s probably a lot more important than what you think — as founding executive Emily Wright said, “we don’t flash checks, we flash donations” when $100k was raised for charity in less than *2 days* with *just* the group of 5,000 of us that were there last week at doTERRA’s east coast Leadership Retreat. 〰️ This specific event was a leadership & business-focused event for those who have achieved a certain rank in the company, so I almost posted a list of the most impactful quotes I heard from amazing leaders in our business. But even as powerful as that is, it just felt a bit too trite to be the overview of this last week’s experience, & doTERRA as a whole. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE & can jam on some strategy all day long, but the biggest impact I felt after 3 days was much deeper than that. 〰️ So I will just start with, & will continue to share more & do better to express, the fact that doTERRA is not *just* an essential oil company. It’s not *just* a company that sells non-toxic lifestyle products. It’s not even *just* a healthcare company. It’s a world movement. 〰️ I know that’s a huge statement. 〰️ Some of you know this already. Some of you might have seen or read or heard of this. Some of you might have experienced or felt a glimpse of this yourself. And some of you might be like - “What on earth are you talking about?” 〰️ Here’s where it starts: 〰️ doTERRA welcomes any who dare to take a journey to better their own lives, first & foremost, starting with their own health. And I say “dare” because for a lot of us, that’s a tall order. To look at our life & lifestyle & say: I can do better. To care. To try. To do our research. To know we don’t have to take things for face value. To know that no one else is a stronger, more important advocate for our own health, than us. And then to take action. 〰️ [continued in next post...]
