It’s about that time of year where I start getting texts from people saying “I (or my kid or husband) is sick, what do I do?”
〰️
It’s often a change of season, weather, back to school, travel, stress, or a combination that puts juuuust enough burden on our immune system to where we get run down & then BAM... sick. 〰️
So this week I’m sharing on my Insta Stories (& saved on PRE TRAVEL highlight):
(1) What I do at the *first* sign of feeling a bit off, and...
(2) How I prepare my immune system *before* I travel.
〰️
I tend to be one of those people who gets off a plane with a cold 🙋🏼‍♀️ so I take this stuff seriously! These tips are not just what I do once I’m already feeling shitty (preventative wellness, right guys? 🤗), but to prepare during times when we know germs are coming our way whether we like it or not.
〰️
And seriously, if you don’t have @doterra oils yet, let me help you get started with the “Home Essentials Kit,” our basic starter kit of oils that will keep you PROTECTED this fall/winter & I’ll show you exactly how to use them. Even better — it’s 20% off this month only. As always comment below or DM me with questions. xo

Intuitively using Essential Oils 🌿 I posted a poll the other day asking if folks were interested in learning more about Intuitively using Essential Oils & had a 100% answer “yes.” So, I added a video on my IGTV this morning of one simple, easy example of how I intuitively picked oils before going onto nature walk today & what I discovered. Are Essential Oils scientific? Yes. Are they energetic? Also yes. Using Essential Oils doesn’t need to be complicated, sometimes it’s simply a matter of trusting that those little tugs are actually our intuition guiding us towards what our body or mind needs most, whether we “know it” or not. As these moments come up I’ll post more, but for now check out my IGTV for today’s experience...

18 new homes in September 〰️ If you’re on my email list you received a very important blog post to your inbox this morning. I’ll send you over there for the full story (👉🏼 bit.ly/oils18homes or link in bio) but I do want to share this: I have a ginormous goal of helping 18 people get kits of oils into their homes by the end of this month.
〰️
Why? Because I 100% believe every home should be stocked with these practical, natural tools AND because @doTERRA’s best Starter Kits are 20% off for this month only.
〰️
A cash discount means $$ saved in pockets, which makes possible for more homes to afford these oils & become empowered & proactive in their own health.
〰️
I’m asking for your help (yes, you who already have oils with me. And also, yes, you who don’t yet).
〰️

One of my favorite things about being on this natural health journey with Essential Oils is that the learning is endless. Lately I’ve been diving in deep to natural beauty & can’t wait for the fall when I will take time to play with making face masks, scrubs, tonics, & blends. Literally what I spend my weekends doing for fun (like reading my oils “encyclopedia” on the beach) is what is what creates energy & expansion in my business too 🌿 #thisistooawesome #essentiallifestyle #doterra #naturalbeauty

Officially did an oils session in the most beautiful spot in #NewportRI at @gurneysnewport for @helmsbriscoe @dscvrnewport @newportexperience 🙏🏼

These two oils 🤤 might be my new faves. And they only arrived to my doorstep last Saturday.
〰️
LITSEA ✨ All your citrus dreams rolled into one beautiful fruit hailing from East Asia. Emotional qualities: Uplifting, energizing, rejuvenating, relaxing, tranquil, & promotes a positive mood. Also supportive for: digestion, sleep, immune system, cleaning/cleansing, skin, & respiratory system.
MANUKA ✨ I already knew I loved Manuka honey from New Zealand. This oil is gold (literally look at the label & packaging 😜) & smells like pure, sweet, mild nectar. Emotional qualities: grounding, relaxing, strength, courage. Mega supportive for: the immune system, beautifying the skin (wrinkles, fine lines), & so much more. This version comes in a handy pre-diluted roller.
➰
These two oils are only available in the AUS/NZ markets but are free, yes that’s right FREE this month in the US with any 200pv (~$200) order. *If* you were even able to purchase them in the US they’d be $97, but you can’t. So snag ‘em this month for free.
➰
Promo available to current AND new customers, so if you want help getting these, send me a DM. Check my Insta Story Highlight “AUG PROMO” for more info.

WILD ORANGE 〰️ “the oil of abundance” & a fantastic mood uplifter
COPAIBA 〰️ “the oil of unveiling” & a powerful anxiety reducer

I absolutely love the physical health benefits of Essential Oils, but it’s often the mental/emotional/mood/spiritual benefits that sit the most deeply with me. The olfactory system (sense of smell) directly affects our brain, which then directly affects our mood. I like to think of Essential Oils as your “choose your own adventure” bottles. And it actually doesn’t just stop there...
➰
Here’s a little science to blow your mind. Did you know? We actually have smell receptors on our organs (bizzare, right?) the liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, & more all have them. The olfactory receptors on these organs are like a lock & key. When the right odor molecule comes along, the receptor unlocks. This means, even just opening & inhaling a bottle of essential oil can can send our body system signals not only to affect mood or emotional state, but also to heal within the body.
🤯 I know. Crazy.
➰
More about Wild Orange & Copaiba aannnddd how to get them free *today only* in my Insta Highlights called JULY PROMO. As always, I’m here in the DMs if you have questions.

Thanks @newportfolkfest for creating yet another epic weekend. @thewoodbros on the harbor stage were 💯👌🏼💃🏼#newportri #newportfolkfest
