Nothing says love like homemade chicken soup!

When your little buddy is home sick from school, Mama makes homemade chicken soup with rainbow carrots and Vitality oils in the Instant Pot! I made an entire chicken per Raising Generation Nourished's recipe with broth instead of water...deboning the chicken and adding it back into the broth. I usually serve this with gluten-free egg noodles...but today Ave just slurped up the broth and ate the chicken. This is one of his favorite foods, & he has no idea how nourishing it is!

What Oily Goodness is in YOUR Bag?

What I can't be without:
+Thieves roller. My kids swipe this on them every morning on the way to school!
+Thieves hand purifier = no icky triclosan in it! 
+Stress Away - because.life.
+Deep Relief. I use this often on the back of my neck & shoulders throughout the day.
+Magnify Your Purpose - behind my ears daily & diffused in van
+Joy - over my heart whenever I need it
+Peppermint - in my water before my workout or when I need to perk up, inhaled from the bottle often
+Patchouli for my diffuser necklace & to wear as perfume (I switch this up with Inner Child.)
+White Angelica on my shoulders & inhaled from bottle
+Roller bottle perfume, which is currently a woodsy blend of Frankincense + Sandalwood + Bergamot to bring on Fall vibes!

Pure Protein Complete

One of my coaches at Orange Theory told me to get protein in within the first half hour after my workout. I immediately come home and whip up a shake using almond milk & either the chocolate or vanilla spice Pure Protein Complete. I toss in whatever I feel I need...a banana, Great Lakes collagen powder, & turmeric. I love that Pure Protein Complete gives me 25 grams of protein & is gluten-free! What do you put in your protein shakes?

Christmas Spirit

Have you stocked up on heavenly Christmas Spirit yet? It's a sweet, spicy blend of orange, cinnamon, and spruce essential oils that is perfect for diffusing during the Fall & Winter seasons. (I confess I diffuse it year-round.) It's a great oil for gift-giving & for hoarding for yourself!

Bridal Shower Favors

A friend & I recently put together favors for her bridal shower. Attendees chose 1 of 4 roller bottle combinations. They were a hit!

Road Trippin' Essentials

A road trip for a bridal shower in Charlotte calls for all things comfy & relaxing. Patchouli on my diffuser necklace & worn as perfume? Check! Tranquil roll-on to unwind at bedtime? Check! (I, of course, packed my Dew Drop diffuser and a million other oils for my friends to sniff! Sharing the love!) Excited for a girls' get-away!

Lavender

Lavender is one of the gentlest, most versatile oils there is - quite possibly one of the most essential essential oils! Its sweet, floral, calming scent makes it a favorite baby gift paired with a Gentle Babies guide & a hand-knit honeycomb blanket. Gentle Baby, a blend of floral oils including Lavender, is another soothing option for babies & new Mamas!
