How can I overcome overwhelm?

Today I spent the afternoon in a pink-bathed Brisbane City Hall enjoying high tea my daughter, sister and niece at #DIGNITEA2019. Did you know many women in Australia don't have access to basic menstrual products? Share the Dignity is working hard to end period poverty and is a charity I am proud to support. #sharethedignity #digniteabrisbane #hightea #motherdaughtertime #sisters #cousins #charitea

Just last month we were soaking up the sun on the beaches of Southern Thailand. Fast forward to this week and it's all about flu season. I've had my flu shot and am keeping healthy with my oils. This morning's diffuser blend has Frankincense, On Guard and Easy Air. My husband, who refused to use my immune blend roller, has brought a cold home and is now popping tablets. I prefer a gentler, natural, preventative approach. On Guard is my go-to for fighting off germs. It's in my cleaning products, part of my daily use immune roller and I even added it to my breakfast oats today. What are you doing to fight off the germs and stay healthy this season? #fluseason #seasonal support #naturalalternatives #onguard #frankincense #easyair #breathe #doterraessentialoils

Magnolias are such delicate, short-lived flowers. This one opened this morning and will probably only last today. I moved closer to breathe in the incredibly heady perfume and discovered these pastel hints hidden within. #magnolia #homegrown #lookcloser #absolutelynofilter

I often get asked how often I use my doTERRA oils on a daily basis. This week, I've been keeping a journal of exactly what I use and when. Each day is different but this pretty bouquet of doTERRA bottles represents most of a fairly typical day. 🌿 Peppermint on shower melt to wake me up and inhaled for energy shot during the day. Peppermint beadlets for fresh breath. 🌿 Lemon in water to assist liver function 🌿 LLV supplements for overall well-being (not pictured) morning and night 🌿 Terrazyme with meals x2 to assist digestion 🌿 On Guard in toothpaste and on my apple for an immune boosting snack. It's also in my surface cleaner and in my handwash and hand sanitiser 🌿 A drop of Frankincense added to my moisturiser plus applied directly to sunspots 🌿 Salubelle around my eyes and forehead for anti aging protection 🌿 Rose as a perfume 🌿 Miracle foot roller containing 5 oils, used morning and night 🌿 Citrus Bliss on clay disk diffuser in the car 🌿 Daytime diffuser blend of Geranium, Lavender and Kumquat (varies) 🌿 Ice Blue on tense shoulders and neck muscles 🌿 Terra Shield to deter mozzies 🌿 Evening diffuser blend of Lavender Peace and Balance (not pictured and also varies) 🌿 Easy Air and Lavender diffused by the bed at night ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's quite a lot, but I certainly didn't start with that. Start small, introducing one oil at a time into your daily routine. Soon, you'll discover what oils work for you and the positive difference they can make to your family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sent via @planoly #doterra #myoilyday #essentialoils #naturalsolutions #dailyuse #everyday #wellness #support #anoilforeverything #launchcamp

I pre-ordered Krissy Ballinger's Naturally Inspired book and it finally arrived today! Not only does it have hundreds of DIY recipes for bath, body and home, it has a section in the middle with gift suggestions to make for a variety of occasions. Hmmm, now to decide where to begin. #homemade #toxfree #naturallyinspired @theinspiredlittlepot #diy

Rainy days are perfect for preparing yummy, healthy doTERRA oil-infused treats. These Raw Lemon Bliss Balls take just moments to whip up and taste like lemon cheesecake. 🍋 1 cup each raw cashews and dessicated coconut 🍋 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 🍋 8 drops doTERRA Lemon 🍋 1 tsp honey Blitz ingredients in food processor. Add enough water to bind mixture and shape into balls. Roll in extra coconut and refrigerate until use. These ones are coming to tonight's workshop with me. 😁 #doterraessentialoils #healthylifestyle #doterra #essentialoils #lemon #citrus #fresh #homemade #healthy
