1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup shredded coconut, plus 1/3 cup extra for rolling
1/3 cup coconut oil

Who else has a vision board they refer to every day?

YESSSSS was so sad summer was over until I saw these awesome March promotions 🍃

I went kinda crazy this month because I wanted my cart to sit above 200PV so that I qualified for Ice Blue Rub AND the Ice Blue Oil !!!

I am an active person so Ice Blue is hands down one of my most used... I have my ice blue rub in my hand bag all the time! From sore muscles after the gym, to sore hips if I’ve been sitting down too long, sore neck from sleeping funny or hunching over at my desk, pains in my feet from walking around all day.. to PERIOD PAINS(?😱) Ice Blue saves me big time !

So stoked with also qualifying for a LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL!
Lemongrass has a subtle citrus flavor and is used in Asian cuisine in soups, teas, and curries as well as with fish, poultry, beef, and seafood. While adding it to your foods adds a unique flavor, Lemongrass essential oil simultaneously promotes healthy digestion and acts as an overall tonic to the body’s systems when taken internally. It’s also purifying and toning to the skin, and is frequently used in skin care products for these benefits!

Air freshener is a must in our bathrooms 🤭 and instead of spraying synthetic nasties, a little DIY spray I put together is free from toxic chemicals, keeping our house safe!

I used lemon, lime, wild orange and grapefruit but you can be creative!
Lavender, peppermint, tangerine ... whatever you fancy 🤷‍♀️

Having a beautiful week away on my annual Bawley Point holiday at a house attached to the beach 🏖 , sun shining ☀️ , crystal clear water 💧 with dolphins jumping out 🐬 and Playing the guitar 🎸 . Found a new summery vibe I’ve been popping in the lounge room diffuser and am loving the sweet, floral and fruity aroma !

Diffusing Wild Orange will energize and uplift the mind and body while purifying the air. Wild Orange enhances any essential oil blend with a fresh, sweet, refreshing aroma.

Geranium has been used to promote the appearance of clear skin and healthy hair—making it ideal for skin and hair care products. It also helps calm nerves and lessen feelings of stress, with 20 people with different personalities in the house - this property is a must in the diffuser 🙈Geranium is also known to naturally repellent, which is also a necessity out here in the bush

While Tangerine supports healthy digestion, metabolism and the immune system... I’m popping it in the diffuser though, as it cleanses and purifies the air, while uplifting the mood of everyone in the room 🤗

Let’s talk CITRUS!!!! doTERRA has a variety of citrus oils, including Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Tangerine, and Wild Orange. All citrus oils come from the rind of the fruit and are all produced using cold expression, also known as cold-pressing.
Citrus essential oils offer a variety of benefits for health and wellness...

- Boosting mood

- Antioxidant protection

- Eliminates germs

- Immune system support

- Air freshener

- Sanitize surfaces and produce (fruit and veg)

- Easy anxiety and irritability

- Boost energy

- Remove toxins

- Helpful to skin

- Flavor food

- Versatility

The most notable similarity between the citrus essential oils is their ability to affect the emotions. Most of these oils, including Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Tangerine, and Wild Orange can help uplift your mood or your energy levels. On the other hand, Bergamot is calming and soothing to the emotions. The best way to use citrus oils for mood or emotional balance is to use them topically on the back of your neck or the bottom of your feet, or aromatically in a diffuser.
These are great oils to take internally or diffuse. Though they offer many benefits when applied topically, be sure to avoid sunlight after applying the oil directly to your skin, whether Neat or diluted for sensitive skin.

What’s your DoTERRA star sign? Mines patchouli and Inwas literally listening to a fellow Scorpio talk about how obsessed with patchouli she is last night 😂😂 .sunshine

Tea Tree known as Melaleuca in the states is one of DoTERRA’s top 10✋🤚 Essential Oils for its versatile health benefits!
Tea Tree has been used in our house for many years but now I KNOW this bottle is 💯 pure😊

Had a nasty motorcycle 🏍 crash in Thailand in a very dirty city so I was very happy to get quickly back to my place and soak all my grazes in tea tree!

Did you know that dōTERRA also has a range of beauty/hair/skin products? dōTERRA has created a number of products that we use every day, using 100% natural ingredients, including specific Essential Oils that benefit your skin/hair, (depending on the product). I’ve been using the invigorating scrub for a while and it’s the perfect blend to start the day off feeling fresh! The body wash leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth and smells amazing🤗 My skin has never felt so good after using the detoxifying mud mask! I will be honest, I do not personally like the smell of the deodorant, so I have bought an uncented deodorant and have put a few drops of BALANCE on the roller to make it smell yum 😋. Wanting to replace your toiletries cupboard with non toxic, pure and natural products? Send me a message and I’ll make sure you can start getting these at a wholesale price 😊

2019 starting off with a BANGGGGGG! Thanks doterra for extending the free Frankincense for people who enrol with a enrolment kit or for existing customers who order over 200PV.
BALANCE- for those of you on the LRP. This comes free if you order over 125PV. I currently have 3 bottles of this. One by my bed, one in my everyday purse and one ready to be cracked as I go through this one the most I would say, brings me down to earth and smells great so I use instead of toxic perfumes.
Smart & Sassy - DoTERRA’s metabolic blend is 10% off this month. Great way to kick start your healthy year!

Can't get the kids to eat their veges? or maybe you haven't quite gotten your five servings yet for the day... Jazz up some roasted veges with these two yummy flavoured oils, whilst simultaneously getting their benefits!

Black Pepper is high in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, known for their antioxidant activity and ability to help ward off environmental and seasonal threats. Black Pepper promotes healthy circulation.

Who else is a massive VICKS fan?! I was ! But the best tip I received when I first started my Doterra journey was to throw away the VICKS! Easy Air is a completely natural blend of amazing essential oils, with no petroleum jelly like VICKS does... Easy Air contains
1. Laurel Leaf oil
2. Peppermint
3. Eucalyptus
4. Tea Tree
5. Lemon
6. Ravensara
7. Cardamom
These have all been studied for their abilities to open and soothe the tissues of the respiratory system. Inhale this one when you are feeling blocked up and congested, diffuse at night to clean the air and combat airborne bacteria and viruses.
My favourite blend to pop in the diffuser before I go to sleep is lavender and easy air - life changer!

Sunday Funday! Let's get creative!
Mosquito's were a big concern whilst travelling through Africa, as the countries were high risk of malaria zones... and prior to arriving, I read up on the nasty chemicals found in most insect repellents, including DEET.
Large doses of DEET have been linked to skin blisters, seizures, memory loss, headaches, stiffness in the joints shortness of breath, and skin irritation. DEET is also linked to neurotoxicity that may lead to physiological and behavioral problems, especially with motor skills, and learning and memory dysfunction.

So I made up my own natural insect repellent, which I highly recommend you consider making, especially if you have little ones considering the side effects... We are officially in summer and the mosquito and flies are coming out!
10 drops of each topped with water. Easy. Smells great. You're welcome 🙌🏻

Prepare yourself for this weekend, which I'm sure brings 1 or 2 Christmas parties ahead... 🍷🍸🍾 🎄🎉 Have these on hand to get you through the day when nursing a hang over!
Perfect blend for topical use when used with a carrier oil, or pop them in the diffuser! All see safe to take internally so why not try it in a vege capsule topped with olive oil for that extra support 🤷‍♀️ 1 drop of GINGER and the rest use 2 drops!

Mmmmm DIGESTZEN you beautiful blend🙌🏻 This baby has saved me during my 10 month trip through Asia and Africa... I was trying completely new foods🍲🥘🍙with added spices, from pretty questionable restaurants in terms of their hygiene... but I applied this to my stomach every morning and I honestly believe it is the reason I did not get sick and that my digestive system did not go out of whack👍Everything was absolutely fine, which hasn't been the case in the past for when I go travelling but hey... 10 months of no stomach issues I am not going to complain! 🤟

Plus the many busses🚌, trains🚉 and ferry 🛳 rides this year! Countless - and I have suffered motion sickness for as long as I can remember; BUT apply this to my belly and woohoo! When I haven't had this one on hand throughout a ferry ride it ... my God, not pretty.

Got that feeling of an upset stomach? Ate too much🤢? Gassy🤫? Or maybe you get motion sickness like me!... Apply this amazing natural digestive blend of Fennel, Ginger, Pepperment, Coriander, Anise, Tarragon and Caraway topically to your stomach, take internally for extra support or diffuse to maintain a healthy digestive system and throw away those disolvable, chewy lollies!
