Hey ya’ll!! This week I have thinking about deep cleaning in my kitchen.  I don’t know about y’all, but this is something I dread doing, but love to have done, once I am finished.  

This time, I’m really focused on using eco friendly products and essential oils in my cleaning.  Grease and grime gets everywhere in the kitchen.  That’s probably why the kitchen is one of the hardest rooms in the whole house to clean.  Using essential oils really helps cut through all this, sanitizes, and makes your whole kitchen smell amazing!!

Here are some of the oils I like to use in my cleaning…

Oregano Oil-damp & dark places

On Guard Oil-counters, kitchen, & all purpose

Tea Tree Oil-toilets, sinks, showers, washing machine odor, makeup brushes, & exercise mats

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.

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!

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.
