Well-Balanced Home
Wife + Mama. Lover of oils, coffee, + simplified, less toxic living.
Here to share wellness + encouragement for creating a more balanced, joyful, + inspiring home!
Feels like summer ☀️Dropping some diffuser blends here for you to save and try! Most excited about 🤍Popsicle 🤍bc any citrus with Valor is my go-to ✌🏻
Who’s been diffusing all day everyday with being home more? Some version of ☀️ Sunshine ☀️ has been in our rotation a lot! ✨🌱
Nothing better than a clean kitchen. Change my mind 😂One non toxic cleaner does it all and is so affordable it’s crazy! Sprayed Thieves Cleaner generously in the sink and sprinkled with baking soda. Let sit for a few and it makes a paste like ‘soft scrub’ that you can wipe clean~ White + shiny! No chemicals needed 🙌🏻 The same cleaner doubles as everything from glass and floor cleaner to soak for your fruit + veggies! Can’t get any less toxic than something you can wash both your kiddos’ food + their toys with 🍎🍋🥑🥦🥒
A little pick-me-up for the amazing woman who delivers our groceries 🌿Beyond grateful for her and all the essential workers working hard to make this easier on the rest of us 🙏🏻THANK YOU!! I usually come up with roller combos based on what I’m feeling the person could need or want~ this one is Valor, Joy, Bergamot and Orange, all happy uplifting oils with the grounding vibes of Valor 🌈Roll on pulse points and inhale from hands as needed. It’s the perfect reset ✨
The new LUSHIOUS LEMON handsoap made my day 😍But really! Smells like a spa, citrusy and sweet with a hint of spearmint, inhaling it when I wash my hands 167495 times a day and I’m not mad about it! Here’s a diffuser blend to match it 🌿
Plants, oils + sunshine ☀️ the little things I’m grateful for lately! Heavily leaning on oils and diffusing + using them topically all day everyday!! Reaching for Valor, Joy + Lavender the most topically. And diffusing all the citrus + Valor! Putting some diffuser blend ideas in my stories here on FB! Let me know if you save or try any of them 🌿🌈
Happy April! 🌈 Do you guys like tutorials?! I want this page to be helpful so please let me know!
Just mixed up a bottle of all purpose cleaner. My normal recipe is just 1 cap of thieves cleaner concentrate mixed with water in a 16 oz spray bottle.
Boosted this by adding 15 drops Eucalyptus + 15 drops Lemon 🍋 Extra cleaning power from those 2 oils plus it smells amazing and like Spring is in the air 🌸
Since we are all staying in for the forseeable future, I’m brightening up this Monday by doing a little giveaway on Instagram with one of my fave small businesses The Fire Within Her✨🌻Your choice of one of her beautiful essential oil diffuser bracelets when her Spring Collection launches in April 🌸 All you have to do is like and comment on my latest post on IG! I’ll leave my IG handle in the comments! Good luck! 🌾Stay well 🙏🏻We got this! 💪🏻
For those of us spending more time at home, are you remembering to use your diffusers and roll on your oils more often!? What have you been using the most?
My fave blend I threw together earlier this week was Valor, Grapefruit and NLBS! Legit OBSESSED ♥️🌱🌈 Here are some blend ideas! Can’t think of a better time to support our emotions with these tools!
Clean Beauty Routine 🌱💄It’s SO important to ditch + switch our make-up to lower the toxic load in our bodies~ which effects everything from our immunity, to our hormone balance and our ability to lower inflammation and lose weight. Our skin is our largest organ, everything that goes on our skin goes into our bloodstream. This ditch + switch can totally be done gradually as you run out of your current stuff! ✌🏻
This is my 5 minute go to routine using Arbonne’s Ready in Five Kit + their pressed powder + Starlight ✨Glow✨Palette. I’m very impressed with their makeup! No toxins, high performing, Vegan, Gluten Free, easy to use, even for your friend who’s not an expert 💁🏼♀️✌🏻
Who’s ready for all the Spring blends?! Sweet little Opalhouse Diffuser right here 🌾✨Run to Target they have so many cute options!! The Project 62 brand has them too 🙌🏻It doesn’t have a huge output but it runs for a super long time and seems to give off a lot of scent, I love that it’s ceramic, perfect for a smaller space! Happy Valentine’s Weekend, friends! ♥️My go-to Spring oil has been LEMON MYRTLE- I went through almost a whole bottle last weekend, it’s happiness + sunshine in a bottle ☀️
How late is too late for coffee? The level of regret that I felt after having this at 2:22pm yesterday was on another level last night 🙇🏼♀️Plus a 5 year old who suddenly woke in the night and was ready to party and chat in and out of our room for hours. Weirdest.night.ever 😑 Sticking with my fizz today (and for life) 😅✨🙌🏻 🌈
Smoothies, oils, always working on simplifying and making our home cozy and joyful ✨✨I’m so beyond grateful for all of you following along and keeping up with my wellness and simplicity journey! I share what works for me in hopes that it can help others. Thanks for being here! ♥️♥️
Gonna miss this view 🎄✨Now, help me settle a debate. Does Santa wrap gifts in your home? What about stocking stuffers- wrapped or unwrapped? I never knew of this thing where Santa doesn’t wrap the presents from him til I heard about it on here and this year I’m all about that life!! 💃💃
When Mama feels healthy + balanced, the whole home feels more balanced 🙃I’ve been sharing more about nutrition over on my wellness IG if you follow me there you already know nutrition has been a huge passion of mine for several years! I have always turned to food as medicine to support a lot of health issues I have struggled with, and I love sharing what works for me in hopes that it can help others 💛With the New Year approaching I know a lot of people are already coming up w a game plan for their health goals 🌱
We made a Vegan Chocolate Blueberry Almond Butter Smoothie for ✌🏻Easiest, healthy meal, full of vitamins and minerals, amazing nutrition for the whole fam 🌱If you have a health goal for 2020, a bunch of us are doing Arbonne’s 30 Days to Healthy Living Program that I did back in October + I’ve kept going with the lifestyle because I’m feeling so good after finding something that works for me after a long time of trying all.the.things 😆🙊
I’ve lost weight (usually nearly impossible with Hypothyroidism), lost inches, bloating and brain fog are gone, anxiety has decreased, energy has increased. If you’re struggling w any of those symptoms, resetting your body with a nutritive cleanse and supporting your gut health will be SO beneficial! You eat actual food and aren’t deprived, it’s def not a diet and you don’t count anything. You’re loving and supporting your body to work optimally. Taking names for our January group, if you want to join us, or have questions, message me! 💛💛
Happy December 🎄✨a few days late 😊What’s your favorite thing to see here? Diffuser recipes, gift ideas, order ideas?! I want to make this a helpful page for natural living tips 💫
Happy Halloween! 🎃 No tricks just a fun treat if you’re wanting to start this journey to removing toxic products from your cabinets! I know it’s a busy day for most, so if there’s anyone who doesn’t want to have to find the time to set up their own account, I can place an order for you today! We have this bundle of all the non-toxic home products wholesale price $135 but as a bundle it’s $100 today only with free shipping, and comes with a cute glass spray bottle and some Thieves booklets. These usually go fast! Or I can order you some oils to try or whatever you’re thinking about. I’ll do the work to get it to your door 🖤Send me a message if you’re thinking about grabbing one of these 👻
{the way these products work is they’re super concentrated to last a long time. The Thieves Cleaner Concentrate you use only 1 capful at a time so the Concentrate lasts 9 months-1 year even if all you do is clean 🤣🙋🏼♀️If you do the math, a whole 16 oz bottle like in the photo below is around $1.09} 🌱

Pockets of Peace ✌🏻🌱When I think about intentional living, I think about creating a home that has little areas that just bring about a sense of peace and coziness. Many of us spend so much time at home, little things like diffusers puffing away w dreamy scents, salt lamps glowing, little knick knacks from the dollar spot, + grocery store flowers can make all the difference 🌾After all, ‘how we spend our days is how we spend our lives.’ Do you have any areas in your home that just light you up? 💫
Pretty sure our blood type is Thieves Hand Sanitizer after our first time flying w the boys ✈️😆So grateful for these proactive tools to keep us above the wellness line 🌱I love my BaggageandCo wallet for keeping everything upright, I just tossed it all into a quart sized ziploc to go through security then put it back in my case 👌🏻
Brought our go-to oils for sleep support, immune support, tummy support, + supporting anxious feelings + 3 hand sanitizers to stash everywhere + travel Thieves Spray. Oils are so much more than diffusing. I didn’t even have room for a diffuser on this trip. All topical support this time around 🌿
If you’ve just gotten your starter kit or even if you’ve had it for awhile and find that you’re not home a lot to diffuse them, grab your Stress Away + Valor from the kit and pop the roller tops on them! You’ll find the extra roller tops under the panel where your oils are in your kit! Bring them with you on-the-go and roll them on whenever you can! I like to layer them on bc I love the combo together! ➕inhale the goodness! You’ll get compliments, they smell DREAMY, promise! 😘😘
Bonus that they’re so emotionally supportive + I use them on the kids too for a calming reset or for butterflies and anxious feelings- every Mama needs these tools! 🤗

We have an online event coming up called The Truth About Candles - I can send you the link to add yourself- just comment below! The group kicks off next week 🍁
🍂Who’s saving these amazing Fall diffuser combo ideas?! 🍂
Former candle ADDICT over here 🙋🏼♀️Til I learned that many of them are burning toxins and second hand smoke into the air. Paraffin wax is a by product of petroleum 😱Please swap out to diffusers instead! You won’t be disappointed. Many of them have candle flicker settings and I really just stare at them when they’re on 😂 they’re beautiful! Plus the oils support our health and mood at the same time!! Love these combination ideas! Perfect for this gloomy, end of summer day! Thank you for these ideas McKenzie Wheeler 🤗
Thyroid and adrenal support! Recently read a mindbodygreen article by Fern Olivia about her go to thyroid support oils. If you’re dealing with needing thyroid support, also make sure you are taking care of your adrenals. I’ll send you the link to the article if you’re interested, just lmk! Also, LOOK AT YOUR GUT HEALTH- it’s at the root of most all ‘dis-ease.’ That’s a post for another day! Pulled out my Endoflex and a lot of the oils she recommended are already in this blend- and in the Thyromin supplement I take at night 🙌🏻
Roll this over your thyroid (front of your neck where ‘Adam’s apple’ would be) and rolled on your adrenals (on your back above your kidneys. Your kidneys sit about 4 finger widths above your hips on your back, so right above there). This oil supports your whole endocrine system which controls your hormones, METABOLISM, and energy ⚡️I grabbed a 10 pack of roller tops from the YL site so I can make some regular bottles into rollers in 2 seconds 👏🏻
Where you roll this on doesn’t have to be perfect, just get this on your body daily. You can also consume this in the vitality version (which is the same oil as this one just with a different label so you know it’s safe to consume). 🌿
Comment below and I’ll choose someone randomly to send one of these cute label to!! 🤗 Tell me- Who already uses Thieves Cleaner to clean without chemicals?! Have you tried spraying your plants to help them thrive 🌿What’s your fave way to use it?👇🏻Good luck! 🎉
At least 6 of the starter oils came w us on vacation! ⛱ Who already has their oils?! Which one did you run out of first and why?! Here’s what I used on our short trip to Cape May 🙃
Peppermint for head tension (in case of too many frozés 😜+ also great for cooling down in the heat and giving an energy boost)⚡️
Lavender sweet sleep for all 😴 + mixed in some coconut oil for after sun skin support ☀️
Digize rolled onto my belly for eating out of my norm (helps w discomfort and bloating like magic) + for the kids I have a roller w half peppermint half digize and diluted w carrier oil for tummy support (Oil + Glass Book from Amazon has such simple recipes for kiddos- takes the guesswork out of how to use your oils safely for kids!) 👏🏻
Stress Away and Valor- layered on daily as my non-toxic perfume that tangibly supports my mood (try it!!) 🙏🏻🌿
Peace and Calming for what it sounds like- behind the boys’ ears and a drop on their heads when needed and before bed! ✌🏻
Other must haves outside the kit you need for kids- R.C. for a chest rub mixed with coconut oil for happy lungs if you have kids that need that support daily or as needed + Owie for any boo boos that may come up- replaced our Neosporin. This Owie blend has Helichrysum and Tea Tree in it- google those benefits! This is a way of life and it all starts with the curated set of starter oils- our best yes 🌿
