When I first heard all about essential oils, I called BS.  It didn’t make sense to me that oils could relieve headaches, or help you sleep, and honestly I rolled my eyes whenever I saw those posts on Instagram and Pinterest.

For Christmas a few years back, my Mom bought me a starter kit* of essential oils, and though I was skeptical I like trying new things so I figured I’d give them a go.  I don’t know what I was expecting by trying the blends I had heard about through Facebook groups, or Pins, but I know I wasn’t expecting them to actually work.

*The YLEO Starter Kit I have is linked below.

I started small, and on days when I was in a bad mood I would diffuse ‘Joy’ (a blend of Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Jasmine, Palmarosa, and Rose, with citrus-y Bergamot, Lemon, and Tangerine) and whether it was the floraly smell, or oil voodoo, it actually did lift my spirits.  *This is still one of my go-to oil blends, especially on days when Mommin’ ain’t easy.

Pretty soon everytime my husband or I had any type of ailment, I’d head to Pinterest to see what kind of oil would fix us up.  I am in no way an expert, but I’m definitely an oily convert now.  I am also in no way an oil sales bae, but in the spirit of full disclosure the oil brand I use is Young Living (for a million wonderful reasons!) so the blends I use are all YLEO branded.  If my oil love has you thinking you’d like to dabble in the magic, drop a comment, or click here 😊

No one likes being sick, but I hate being sick!  I’m a major baby, and no one needs that.  SO at the onset of a bug, I am all about the detox bath/theives tea 1-2 punch.  It is one of the best tricks in my Mom bag, ya’ll.   

And sometimes you need to let loose and enjoy some adult beverages #amirite?  The days of college sleep-in-until-noon, eat a bagel and right the ship, are long gone my friends.  I wish I could tell you that essential oils will cure your hangovers, but unfortunately unicorns aren’t real, and that’s not true.  Essential oils will however help you bounce back, and not feel like garbage.  They also won’t taste as good as Five Guys, but they’re a hell of a lot better for you.

And for the Mamas…

Gentle Baby is [High Five Emoji Here].  Diffusing this around bedtime has been so fabulous with Olivia, and it is super soothing for Mama at the end of the day too.

Another absolute favorite teething product of mine is Punkin Butt Oil.  It’s a mix of magic that we keep in the diaper bag AT ALL TIMES!

If you have oils, I hope you love them as much as I do!  If you haven’t tried that oil life yet, I highly suggest you give it a go!
