New Crystal Essential Oil Vial Necklaces in the Shop!

| Home, Oils, Style

Essential Oil Crystal Vial Necklace, Amethysts Natural Stone Quartz Necklace

I’m so excited to announce the arrival of diffuser jewelry in the shop! So far it’s just one style but I have more coming. These natural quartz crystal vial necklaces come in 4 colors and are just so pretty! They are available in Tea Quartz, Tiger Eye, White Quartz, and Rose Quartz.

These gorgeous crystal vials hold a small amount of essential oils to carry with you wherever you go. The crystal top unscrews and you can add your favorite oils with the included pipette. A few of my favorite Young Living oils to place inside these necklaces include Grounding, Seedlings Calm and Awaken. Grounding for times I need to focus, Calm for toddler tantrums and Awaken for all the inspirational feels.

Wearing a quartz crystal everyday is said to help maintain clarity of the mind, helping you to remain focused and clear about bringing your dreams to reality. I think we could all use some of that in our lives!

Easy Pickled Red Onion Recipe

Easy Pickled Red Onion Recipe

If you know me then you know I love pickled foods and these pickled red onions are no exception! I make a jar every couple of weeks because we go through them so fast! We love them on grilled chicken tacos, salads, sandwiches, gyros and even breakfast burritos! Can’t get enough! They are so easy to make you probably don’t even need this recipe. Just make sure you have a 34 oz or larger jar. I love the Kilner brand jars. These will keep up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge. I recommend waiting to eat them for 2-3 days but if you’re in a hurry they’ll be ok after soaking a few hours. I hope you find this recipe to be easy and a keeper!

A Huge List of Essential Oil Roller Recipes, Kid and Perfume Rollers Too!

essential oil roller recipes for kids and kids, perfume roller recipes, kids diluted rollers, essential oil roller bottles

So you have your oils and are looking for a new roller blend to try? I’ve got you covered! I compiled a HUGE list of all my favorite essential oil roller blends. These are specific to Young Living oils, as those are what I use and love. All recipes are for 10 ml roller bottles. Add the amount of drops listed and top off with a carrier oil, like fractionated coconut oil. Pop your top on and get rolling!

I feel confident using the diluted kid recipes on my 2 year old. As always start out slow when trying a new recipe on kids or anyone with sensitive skin. Roll on the bottom of feet to start. Most of my rollers I roll behind the ears, on wrists or over the heart. The wellness roller should go on bottom of feet or up the spine.

Now let’s dive in!

Parker Grace is 5!

| Home, Motherhood

Parker Grace, Kid Fashion, Happy Birthday, 5 years old

My baby, my red-head beauty, my heart, my Parker Grace. She turned 5 years old last week. I still can’t believe it. 5 years old! I know it’s a huge cliche to say but time sure flies. It seems like just yesterday that she was attached to me at all times in a baby carrier. Or learning how to roll over. Or finally growing enough hair for tiny pigtails!

This has been the best age though. She’s into dance. She loves animals. She loves all things girly like makeup and nail polish and getting her hair done but she also loves getting dirty. She’s excited to start soccer this spring and T-Ball this summer. She’s in two dance classes. She is obsessed with the water and swimming. She has a different swim suit for every day of the week plus some. She has a thing for shoes. She loves shopping and trying on clothes. The problem is she never puts anything back once she tries it on! Her and her Gramma Kitty can really get into trouble at the mall together! Rainbow is her favorite color but if you ask her tomorrow it might be yellow or light blue. She has never met a muddy puddle she didn’t want to jump in.

Parker has a soft spot for cats and dogs. If she could, she would have one or both sleeping in her bed every night. Me too but her daddy is kind of a buzz kill about that kind of thing! She loves french fries and ice cream. She is my biggest supporter and always lets me put oils on her. She even shares her Unicorn roller with her friends before dance recitals. One day she’ll make a great member of my oily team!

Happy 5th birthday baby girl! I love you more than you will ever know.

DIY Essential Oil Facial Glow Serum

| Home, Oils

DIY Essential Oil Facial Glow Serum

ATTENTION: You can throw away ALL of the expensive moisturizers, serums, masks and wrinkle creams. Spoiler alert, they are likely filled with harsh chemicals & toxins that are disrupting your hormones.

Instead, this DIY GLOW SERUM is going to take their place. In a 4oz glass dropper bottle, add 40 drops Frankincense, 20 drops Copaiba & 10 drops Geranium (if you don’t have Copaiba & Geranium, Frankincense alone will work), then top off with jojoba oil. Use this every night after you wash off your makeup & every morning before applying your makeup.

I know the thought of putting oil on your skin can sound a little scary, but jojoba oil & essential oils are non-comedogenic, meaning they nourish skin without clogging pores.

This single product is going to moisturize your skin while helping to diminish the appearance of pores and fine lines, help to smooth skin and make it G L O W. You wont need a bunch of bottles on your counter or need to switch back and forth, this is the only thing I use on my skin and it has been a game changer over the last year.

DIY Essential Oil Facial Glow Serum DIY Essential Oil Facial Glow Serum

The very first oil I bought outside of my Premium Starter Kit was Geranium! I knew I wanted it for this DIY glow serum. Geranium essential oil was used by the Egyptians to promote beautiful, radiant-looking skin. Today this potent oil is often used in high-end perfumes and skin care products! It has a sweet, floral scent.

Frankincense is my go-to for all skin care things! It’s a precious oil that has been sought after since ancient times, and it has a complex aroma that is earthy and uplifting. It’s perfect for grounding, spiritual connectedness, and radiant skin.

Copaiba has a gentle, woodsy aroma and is grown in South America. It is another oil that can be considered a swiss-army knife of oils with so many uses—skin, promotes wellness, digestive support, etc. It’s great for inflammation.

My New Essential Oil Accessory Shop is Open!

| Farmhouse, Home, Motherhood, Oils, Uncategorized

Mama Roller Bottle Set for Essential Oils, 10 ml Amber Roller

I can’t believe I am typing these words! My new essential oil shop is open right here on my blog! It’s located in the Shop tab or you can click HERE.

Ever since I saw You’ve Got Mail I’ve daydreamed about being a shop girl like Kathleen Kelly! My retail space at Center Street got me half way there but owning something of my own has been a dream. So now you can shop right here on my blog. Sorry it’s not farmhouse decor! It’s essential oil bottles, labels and accessories! Next month I’ll be adding crystal jewelry.

Some of my favorite products are the canvas makeup bags, the clear rollers with dried botanicals, the mama roller set and the kid roller set. The rainbows give me all the feels!

To celebrate my shop opening I am sending a special goodie with each order, now through Sunday February 23rd! If you are local to me (Puyallup, WA area) you can click local pickup and I will coordinate a meetup time!
