Resolution 4: Replace Household Products with Oils

It’s Essential Oils Resolutions Week 4!!!  How are you doing?  Starting to get in a grove?  I know I am!!  Using at least one oil a day???  Night counts…but day and night is even better!! 

So I am super excited about our 4th resolution… 

REPLACE HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS WITH ESSENTIAL OILS!!!

This is a great way to use essential oils every day without having to think about it. 

Below is a list of ways that I have replaced my old products with all natural products containing essential oils. 

In the shower:  I use doTERRA’s shampoo and conditioner which offer an invigorating complex of essential oils but you can make your own at home.  Just add a couple drops to a shampoo you already have.  Super easy right!

Cleaning supplies: Many of us use homemade natural cleaners.  Why not add a few drops of essential oils to those as well.

Essential Oil Resolutions

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...

Winter's Coming!!!

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.  

So to bring some soothing comfort and warmth into your home, I’m going to give you TEN… Yes, you read that right, TEN amazing diffuser blends to help you chase away the Winter blues.
