If you have celebrated with a few glasses of bubbly or cocktails.. put 2 drops of Zendocrine in a capsule or a shot of water and swallow. Follow it with a glass or two of water to help with rehydration. Your liver will appreciate the Zendocrine detox support. If feeling seedy the next morning, repeat both Zendocrine and Digestzen and rest. Use this rest time to lounge in your pyjamas until you feel well enough to shower and rejoin the world.

Basically this is the swiss army knife of oils! There is also a lot of research on the health benefits of Frankincense check out  pubmed.gov  and give it a search. . I have been getting a few questions about ways i use this oil, so I thought I would share it with you all!  :) *I take a drop internally under the tongue daily to promote a healthy inflammatory response in the body and provide the body with a very powerful antioxidant to ward off free radicals, also helps promote h ealthy cell proliferation. *I use with your moisturizer to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and aging skin *diffuse, use aromatically or topically on pulse points, big toe and feet to improve mood, reduce stress and anxious feelings- Frankincense can cross the blood brain barrier! A drop internally a day will make a big difference too *use on sinuses and chest (especially with my kiddos because Frankincense is a gentle oil for kiddos) when they are congested as its a natural expectorant

I know you other Mummas can relate. 7:30 this morning, child #1 has a big meltdown over something that was minor to us but a big deal to him. *insert Console*  7:45 - boys shoes, socks, oils, pack bags, leaving in 15 mins.  8:00 - in the car. Boys got your lunch box, water bottle, brain back etc... child #2 " Oh wait... I forgot my candy canes and Christmas cards" *runs back inside to get them* Note: It takes 20 mins to get to school and they boys like to be there at 8:20 because bell rings at 8:30. Get half to town, as we oiling up, doing yet another 'verbal checklist' - I don't my kids to well. Me " Got your swimming bag Piper?" piper "Oh no.. its home?" sigh.. rings Dad, "you coming to town in the next hour?" Nope hes not. So turn around back we come home, like the gingerbread man, as fast as we can. Grab swimming and arrive just in time for school. phew I help at school on a Wednesday morning with school banking, i walk around

One of the main reasons I started using oils was to support our sickness. You see my immune system has never been the best and I was getting sick about every 6-8 weeks. Enter oils. That interval got incredibly larger. Do I still get sick? Yes but way less frequent I mean have kiddos in school and I sometimes forget my vitamins  😬  Annnd my 3 year old still interrupts my sleep some nights which effects my immunity  😂  but when I do I kick it waaay faster than those around me and  it’s much more tolerable because I have tools that help me. I love my immune support blends and I love to share all the different oils that can help because there are SO many great ones! In a 10ml bottle I mix about 10 drops each and then top off with fractionated coconut oil. I roll on my feet everyday (twice a day is ideal) to support my body and help it fight off any threats. I up this when I start to feel sick (like every two hours I apply) . And it’s fantastic for kids too! Just cut the recipe do

My best friend is Vetiver for sleep! Especially when I can't nod off, because this ol noggin wouldn't stop churning out that to do list!! I rub a drop or two on my feet! Ka-boom... zzz But this time I'm using it to focus, relax and concentrate!  It's also great for  * scars and helping the tissue heal. * greatvat grounding, especially for hyperactivity!! * helping anxious and nervousness feelings. * it has antioxidant properties and provides support to the immune system!

Who's feeling stuck in the rat race with, Christmas presents to buy, thank you gifts for teachers to orgainse, holiday season to plan, meals to orgainse and the list goes on... When it comes to dealing with anxious feelings and stress I actually use Balance (our grounding blend) mostly...straight from the bottle as it's already got some fractionated coconut oil in it so I can pop a drop or two straight on the wrists! Easy as! Same for my kids! But these are some my favorit e blends i diffuse when I feel the pressures of life. You can make them in roller blends if it makes life easy too  :) Tag your friends and help them with pressures of life! They will thank you later! If you arent a customer of doterra and would love to gift yourself or friend some oils, contact me (link on the side bar)  I will share my December christmas specials with you  :)

Weather its the weekend, school holidays, you Mummas might find these blends handy.  Diffuse them or make them in roller bottles. Note: the kids have moved on from lego and have all the pencils and paper, scissors and glue they can find. happy kids = happy Mum who has accomplished her to do list. I call this a win today ay  :)

Essential oils have become a very big part of my everyday life that I ensure I pack some to take away with me on family holiday as the anti-bacterial, anti-viral and emotionally supportive and grounding properties of many essential oils are especially helpful when travelling. I put together a list that I shared with my members, of my top essential oils to take with us to help ensure we stay, travel and sleep well during our holiday. Travelling with Essential oils can help wit h: fatigue stress insomnia insect bites illness headaches

Lets not forget the men in our life. Granddad, uncle, son, hubby.... This is also really nice for you Mummas too :)

No one has time for sickness.  Why is that when you decide to go away, or come home that some sort of 'sickness' lurks?  These are my favorite blends!

  HERE ARE MY TIPS FOR THRIVING THIS CHRISTMAS... Diffuse, diffuse, diffuse.   Never doubt the power of an uplifting or calming aroma in a room.  You have magic at your fingertips with these little bottles of oils.   When the kids are running on a candy cane fuelled sugar high reach for the calming oils like Holiday Peace, Balance, Copaiba, Cedarwood or Frankincense to assist them (and you)  in regaining some self control.  When you are nervous about mixing eclectic family and friends for the annual get together reach for the uplifting oils like Holiday Joy, citruses and florals. A quick rule of thumb when working out whether an essential oil is an uplifting or a calming oil is that the faster they drip the more happy they’ll make you feel, the slower they drip the calmer and more focussed they will make you feel. Take your Life Long Vitality supplements .  It is easy to wear yourself thin in the lead up to Christmas and the last thing you need to is to get run down. 

These are seriously easy, my kiddos love helping. Tip: when using oils in cooking, less is more :) 125g butter 1/2 cup, firmly packed Brown Sugar 1/2 cup golden syrup 1 egg, separated 2 1/2 cups plain flour 2-3 drops of Ginger oil 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 2-3 drops of Ginger oil to your gingerbread. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush 2 baking trays with melted butter to lightly grease or line with baking paper (thats what I do) Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the golden syrup and egg yolk and beat until combined. Stir in the flour, ginger oil and bicarbonate of soda. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Press dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest. Place the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll out until about 4mm thick. Use a 9cm gingerbread man cutter to cut out shapes. Place on trays about 3cm apart. Repeat with any exces

This is a really gift idea for those hard to buy teenagers.  They love something for themselves.

Some days she is the sweetest little three year old and other days, shes got the 'anger' thing going on, stubborn, strong willed, wont listen to her Mumma and a whole a lot sass!! Oils have been the best tools in this house to support my kiddos in calming down, helping those tantrums. I roll on the kids calmer blend on her feet and followed on copiaba and I have a girl I can talk rationally to. What would do without oils? Grey hair and more wrinkles!!! Who loves the new kid blends? More info on my Facebook or Instagram. (link on the side bar) .

This beautiful hand wash is such a sweet gift for grandma or even a teacher. There is so much versatility with the aroma you are after. I have always been a big fan of citrus aromas but recently my one of team members made it with Lemon myrtle (she is obsessed with that oil that is available from the Christmas gift guide).

Frankincense has changed my whole family. Simply by using this daily. We struggle with respiratory issues with my son, I battle daily Mumma  emotions, stress and had depression. I’ve always been a BIG headache suffer, when I say big, I mean once or twice a week, and what I also mean by big is being in bed because of the pain! Right from a 6 year old I suffered this! I can now offer this to my 8 year old son who battles big headaches too! 

I have been talking sharing some education on Frankincense over 5 days on Facebook and Instagram and I wanted to share it here too for you all.   L ets look at the chemistry of frankincense. Understanding the basic chemistry of each oil, can help you more fully understand when and how to use the oils to achieve a desired benefits. The way Frankincense is sourced is amazing. Tomorrow we will look at days 4& 5  XO 

Who has trouble sleeping? Struggle with overwhelm, moods and emotions? Your one those or kiddo that battles poor immunity? Nothing worse than going away and getting sick!  :( Tummy troubles, especially from too much sugar and Chinese. Achy joints and pain, even throbbing head that aches? Pick me! or anything you can imagine, its totally true when I say "There's an oil for that!" I have proved this time and time again my 10 years using doterra and my community prove too wit h their testomonies. If you said yes to one or more of those things, then I am just going to say it, no beating around the bush with me... Start with the Home essential kit here, that sets you completely up for you and your family. This kit is the MOST popular in my community for that reason. If you are wanting to get essential oils, your own personal customer account (just like your online Target account), but have been waiting for the right timing, you might want to consider jumping on-board t

When things that used to be so colourful start seeming colourless, when you don’t seem to have time for the things that used to bring you so much joy, and when you want to climb under your covers even when your favorite people are around . . . it’s time. Time for what, you say? Well, it’s time to remember. It’s time to remember the last time you felt like life was colourful. It’s time to remember the last time you broke out in crazy dance moves in your kitchen. It’s time to r emember the last time you turned the music up full blast in your car and sang as loud as you could because you could feel it all the way in your bones. It’s time to remember what it feels like when you really look someone you love in the eye and see all the way in. It is time. It’s easy to forget that life is supposed to feel good. Life is supposed to be full of delightful little moments that are filled with colour and twinkling joy. It’s easy to forget that once you knew exactly how to be you. All tha
