Yesterday I cleaned my microwave using a fun new way to incorporate my essential oils into the process. If you have a ramekin or a small bowl, fill it 3/4’s up with water, add 4 to 5 drops of Grapefruit, Lemon, or Lime oil and set it inside the microwave. Heat it on high for…
About a month ago I had to say goodbye to my dog, Ajax. He had been with us for 12 years and he was definitely a huge part of our lives. His presence has been missed but I know he is in a better place, with no more discomfort or confusion. ~ Todays post is…
So many people I know are getting caught by this bug that’s going around and the first irritation they notice is a bit of discomfort in their throat. You know the feeling, that slight tightening, scratchy, uncomfortable feeling that sometimes makes it hard to swallow easily. I haven’t personally experienced this in years but a…
I received an email from a reader who had been buying essential oils from her local health food store. She had questions about why her bottle labels all said not to use the oils topically or internally, yet doTERRA says it is safe to use most of their oils in these ways. Once again I…

A friend of mine who is a new essential oil user got all excited when she realized that two of the oils are referenced in the Bible. Frankincense and Myrrh were delivered to baby Jesus as gifts at his birth and that was because they were considered to be worth more than gold for their…
Obviously, this post is going to be about mouth health and I wanted to touch on it today because I just had my dentist appointment last week. During my cleaning my hygienist told me that my gums looked really healthy and had that normal pink glow. I was pretty happy to hear this because I have…
