OH MY OILS
I'm using my oils every day and want to share what works what sometimes doesn't. I will also be focusing on with oils can help me work through my emotions
Oh my goodness Mr 7's feet absolutely stunk this morning... like keel over wretching stinky....
Ordered him to go put some socks on and popped 2 drops of Lemongrass in each shoe... Problem solved.
I now have the gorgeous smell of lemongrass on my hands to get me through the day :)
When your oils work so well for your dad and he comes home and asks for some samples to give to people πππ
My Dad's shoulder has been giving him grief lately and he has not been sleeping properly as a result.
I asked on Thursday if he would take a capsule of oils and he agreed he would try it. π
So 3 drops of the following oils into a capsule and he slept all night. ππ
A hot bath with epsom salts coconut oil lemongrass and marjoram to ease sore muscles πͺπͺ
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie
An over active brain and Mr 7 with a sore tummy at 3 in the morning means one tired mummy. π΄π«π΄
Sore tummy was fixed with some digestzen rubbed clockwise on his tummy and some mummy cuddles...
I aromatically dressed in Listea and Peppermint after my shower to help feel less zombied. Also added Geranium over my heart. So far so good πππ
Tell me did you sing the zombie bit at the beginning? The song is stuck in my head now π€
I broke through a lot of limiting thoughts today. YAY π
Since breaking my leg/ankle and doing ligament damage on the other ankle I have been terrified of hurting myself again.
I have also put on alot of weight the last few years... I know exactly why and can't and won't make excuses.
I was nervous about getting back into exercise fustrated that I can't do what I used to.
But today I started Martial Arts ππ absolutely loved it and my muscles are sore YAY. Hopefully I can convince Mr 7 to sub some oils into my legs tonight
I always thought I was a strong woman but when I was shown this image and could identify with each segment I was crushed.
I was so embarrased that I didnt realise how bad things were it was slow and gradual and normalised.
It took a long time to believe in myself again and believe my strength. Many tears have been shed and I have been my own worst enemy in blaming myself.
I have worked hard on being kind to myself and being forgiving. It is also so important that my son learns respect for others. Essential oils have been a huge factor is supporting myself and my emotions.
If you suspect domestic violence in any form SPEAK UP. Don't victim blame, be supportive be loving.
Mr 7 wanted to give me a back rub β€ (No mummy requests π seriously)
So we have a lot of fractionated coconut oil π
4-5 drops each of
Marjoram for sore muscles
Cypress for motion and flow
Easy air Mr 7s choice
Lavender for calming also Mr 7s choice
I've never had a masseuse talk so much π€£ but he did a great job considering he is 7
It is a very nice feeling to be able to have negativity roll off so to speak.
You cannot always avoid negative, s**t stirring people but YOU can choose how you react to them.
I have been adding bergamot and geranium to my diffuser blends which promotes self assurance and love β€
Thank you everyone for your input on glasses i ended up with these.. much easier shopping without mr 7. Transition lenses so will double as sunnies. Now to shock everyone that hasnt seen me wear glasses for years πππ€
I over came one of my massive blocks today.
ππ I drove Dad's farm ute AND with hay bails on the back.
Yeah yeah yeah big deal well....
7 months post broken ankle/leg I have been unsure if I could operate the clutch safely. BUT I CAN
Having heavy heavy hay bails loaded and unloade from the tray is not an overly comfortable experience. BUT I DID IT
I have been incredible nervous about reinjuring myself and its not an experience I wish to repeat. Fear has been holding me back BUT I'M WORKING THROUGH IT
I have really needed to reset some boundaries this week... with others but also myself.
The last few nights I have been diffusing Cedarwood, Lavender, Clove and Rosemary.... bit of a strange combo π.
Cedarwood and lavender are the bases for most of my night blends cedarwood is very grounding for me and lavender is calming.
I chose clove as it is the oil of boundaries.
Rosemary was picked to balance out the strength of the clove and its a oil i really enjoy in the diffuser. Rosemary is the oil of knowledge and transistion which is really fitting for me right now.
Can you pick which tip I found hilarious???
What a day....
I slept in... my counselling appt was for the wrong time π... tears flowed curses were said covered myself in PEACE
Decided to go to oily coffee... cried again π... had an itovi scan done.. put some past tense on the back of my neck.... left feeling much better prepared for my work day... (felt confident no one would get yelled at π)
Started getting a headache on the way to work.. right between my eyes π€’π€ and all I can smell is the Cilantro π΅. Got to work and took some Panadol (not something i usually do) fast forward 45 minutes and Im getting to closely acquainted with the toilet bowl π€’π·π€’. Tried eating but nope back to my new friend flushy.
Now I have decided I need to go home... but i needed fuel had to pick up mr 7 early from school and drive 40kms while trying not to vomit all over the car π made it... just
As soon as i walked in the door pants off bra off and straight to bed with some stronger pain relief wet flannel on my head dont want to nap cause i won't sleep.
I maybe unfair in my ruling but I am not using past tense again sorry itovi scan.. not blaming it for all my symptons (i had a chai latte im suspicious off also π€£) I have tried it before and didnt like it very much and that coriander smell YUCK I normally dont spew
Last nights blend was bergamot lemongrass and arborvitae
Not a great nights sleep very restless sleep need to add some lavender and use cedarwood as my grounding oil
Tonight I am consulting my emotions book again.. it is my most used oily reference.
Mr 7 had his birthday party... mum had her anxiety come to visit. Well to be honest my anxiety has been bubbling under the surface for a good couple of weeks now. But it snuck through my defences this weekend.
I put a huge amount of pressure on myself, I also feel like there is a huge amount of social pressure on everyone in general.
I need to stop and focus not on my "Failures" but on the fact people came and seemed to enjoy themselves, my son enjoyed his party and I survived even though I'm fighting the urge to shutdown and hide away from everything.
Thinking bergamot and lemongrass will make an appearance in the diffuser tonight. I will post which blend I go with tomorrow
I need some help deciding on new glass which ones look better??
I am thinking the $39 ones look better π€π€
And yes look totally unimpressed because mr 7 was being a pain in the *****
So Mr 6 is now Mr 7 π²π² so wishing ny boy a very happy birthday.
And patting myself on the back that I have kept a little person alive for 7 years ππ thank goodness I have oils to keep my sanity ππ
It was only a couple of years ago I realised that awful feeling of my stomach dropping and being in knots and the tears pricking was Anxiety.. being able to name the feeling helped deal with it...
Then came essential oils when I start feeling my Anxiety coming to join me I use Peace and Easy Air I also use this blend when I know I have a day that could invite anxiety to visit.
Do yourself a favour and check out the moon β€π I love sitting under the stars i find it very grounding
Congratulations Ashii Evans you have won my Birthday Give Away ππ.
Can you please msg me your address π
Feeling totally witchy today. Definately got up on the wrong side of the bed.
Some days I'm sure I'm speaking a different language to Mr 6 and I would get more response from a brick wall π΅π΅π΅ If i do get a response its him arguing with me π€π€ (hoping back to school will make him too tired to have attitude ππ)
Today I have yelled more than I want to admit and felt like just exploding. ( I need to make a blend for 'Another peice of lego on the floor π£')
Tonight I just feel guilty. There is a voice inside my head saying "Well thats not what they teach in all the parenting courses you've done" amd another voice saying "Oh well tomorrow is a new day and one very average parenting day does not define me"
I have Peace and Forgive diffusing tonight and I have applied Clary Calm and ready for a good nights sleep
One very emotional boy... After a quick look in my emotions book I put together the following blend. After sending a teary, tired boy to sit on the bed he calmed down quiet quickly, a quick dinner and a back rub we was a nice calm boy and ready for bed.

I have reached a stage where I need to truly focus on me and resolve my 'core hurts'
I am going to try a new strategy with my counselling I know it will be hard emotionally but the end result is what i will strive for.
It is really hard going back through all my memories.. right back to my earliest and recognising key factors that have shaped my thought process.
I am doing this for me and I am doing this for my son.
Oh my goodness not the greatest afternoon.
Mr 6 stepped on a nail outside π There was SOOO much blood and he panicked and I think he went into a little bit of shock.
After getting him to lay down and elevate his foot the bleeding stopped and I was able to clean him up and get an idea of the damage. I also had to convince him that he was not going to die π He is a little bit dramatic. Thank goodness we had icecream as that really does fix everything. Even though mummy is very good at first aid all Mr 6 wanted was Poppy.
We still needed to visit emergency as the nail went right in, YUCK. He is fine, was so excited that he got to have an X-Ray and was telling the doctor and the nurse how to do their jobs.
Crazy but oils didn't even factor into my thought process though they may have helped calm Mr 6 down. If he will allow me I will use a blend of Franki, Lavender and Tea Tree to help prevent infection and assist the healing process. Will also have digestzen on hand as he is on Antibiotics.
This mummy needs some extra calming oils in the diffuser and a good nights sleep.
So glad to be home.. and to have full access to my oils.
I Have wild orange, franki, cedarwood, cardamom and Spikenard in the diffuser for Mr 6
He also requested I tap for him (feeling a mixture of pride and excitement right now) I have a little boy asleep calm and relaxed with a reminder of how loved he is.
My world feels like it's spinning properly again ππ my awesome little dude is home.
And after a fun filled morning of fun learning at scitech Mr 6 exhausted and a 'wee' bit emotional.
I only brought my emotions rollers with me so I am limited oil wise. However I applied PEACE & FORGIVE down his spine and tried a new technique for us.
I have been looking into TAPPING (emotional freedom techniques) after a suggestion from my counsellor. I have only just started my research and have been doing it myself.
Mr 6 was level 10 tired so I decided to tap for him (not going to attempt teaching at level 10 tired) thinking it can't hurt... and my goodness it worked π± β€
I have one calm sleeping boy and this mummy is going to enjoy some cuddles xx
I was lucking and got some vouchers that could be redeemed at The Health Nut - Albany.
Look what I got πππ super excited about my book as it has some of the newer oils and more information. Also with the bit left over got some samples of some oils still on my wish list. (Some great problem solving happened this morning - not by me though ππ)
I am often drawn to certain oils and last night it was Oregano pulling me.
The oil of humility and nonattachment it is describe to cut through the fluff of life ππ sounds like my kinda oil lol...
Not an oil I usually use however I diffused the following last night at it was wonderful so its back tonight.
2 drops oregano
3 drops lavender
2 drops geranium
2 drops basil
4 drop cedarwood
