Get your new oil for January?  Check!  If you haven’t picked your January oil, I highly recommend AirX!

Let's get to our 3rd Essential Oil Resolution. 

ESTABLISH A BEDTIME ROUTINE USING ESSENTIAL OILS. 

Essential oils are an amazing way to close out your day.  They help you wind down from a hard day…  Diffuse in the air, or rub on your feet, or down your spine at night for tons of health benefits while you sleep.  

Below are some ways that you can use essential oils at bedtime… 

Take an essential oil bath.  Baths are a great way to release stress, tension, and toxins from your body.  Add some epson salts and your favorite oil to a warm bath and relax.  Baths are a great way to help kids unwind before bed.

Hey ya’ll!!  We are officially one week into our Essential Oils Resolutions. How’s it going so far?  Were you able to use at least one oil every day last week?  I can happily say “I did”!! One day, all I did was run my diffusers, but that counts! 

This week, let's jump right into our 2nd Essential Oil Resolution.

TRY A NEW ESSENTIAL OIL EVERY MONTH! 

This is a GREAT resolution that I am super excited about!!  This resolution keeps you from falling into an essential oil rut, using the same oils over and over.  

By using a variety of oils you benefit from tons of different therapeutic qualities.

You might just discover a new favorite oil too.  This is how I discovered Spearmint early on in my oil journey.  I was thinking “I have peppermint…Why do I need Spearmint?” Little did I know.  Spearmint is amazing, and I’m so happy I found this gem.  

So I know what you’re...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  I am so excited about the coming new year and all the adventure it brings….maybe a couple less than last year.  LOL!!

Today, we are going to dive in-depth into our 1st Essential Oil Resolution.

USE AT LEAST ONE ESSENTIAL OIL EVERY DAY!  

Now I bet you're thinking…”I already do that.”  Think back over the past year.  How many times have you thought?  “I’ll start my diffuser later.”  Or “tomorrow I’ll start using that roller.”   Or you forget to rub oils on your kiddos before bed?

It happens…I do it too and I’m the “Crazy Oil Lady”!! 

Now do you see why we need this resolution?  Below are some tips. 

Start your day using your oils.  Start your diffusers in the morning with a motivational or a wake up blend.  Use an On Guard roller, on your kids, before they head off to school.  You’ll start their day...

Hey Y’all!!  I can’t believe the New Year is only a day away.  I have started thinking about my resolutions, plans, and goals for the upcoming year.  Some of my resolutions are family focused, some are bible based, Diamond Oils business related, and some are Essential Oil education focused.  

This post and ALL of my January 2021 posts are going to center around Essential Oil Education and how to incorporate them into your life, home, and health.  

Most of us know how powerful and amazing essential oils are but do we use them as we should?  What could they replace in your home?  Are you getting the full benefit or are they just sitting in a box or on a shelf? 

This year we are going to change the way we use essential oils and receive the powerful benefits of these amazing little drops!  

Here is my list of 5 Essential Oil Resolutions.  Each week, we will dive in-depth into the individual resolution and how to incorporate...

Oh my goodness!!  Did anyone take a step outside this morning and freeze?  It’s cold!!  

The temperature change shocked me and reminded me that Old Man Winter is on the way.  I try to always be a “glass half full” type of person so I’ll tell you first what I LOVE about Winter…fires, warm drinks, comfy blankets, Christmas, and the occasional snow.  Now I’ll be honest……Winter can also be a hard season. The Winter time brings some of the darkest and coldest days of the year.  Add in Covid and this Winter will no doubt be hard.
