Essential oils have so many benefits and so many uses in life. It may seem overwhelming, but small changes can have huge impacts over time! Just do the best that you can with what you know. Read more about how I use oils here. Commit to being a lifelong learner! 

There are lots of additional products that make life with essential oils easier and help the oils to last longer. Check out the video below for more info: 

Another tip that I have to share is to habit stack. I had no idea what this was until I read a book about creating healthy habits. Habit stacking is just as it sounds: you add a new habit onto an older one. For example, if you're new to essential oils, but want to start your diffuser every morning, you could do that right after brushing your teeth. The habit of brushing your teeth is already well ingrained in your mind and daily routine (at least, I hope it is!), so adding another habit will be easier to remember at that time of your day. I like to keep diffusers in just about every room in the house, so I see them and use them! While I'm brushing my teeth, I'm thinking about my day and which oil I want to add to the diffuser on the counter. 

The more you use essential oils and discover different ways to reduce toxins in your home, the easier it will become. Things like filling your diffusers, rolling oils on throughout the day, and taking supplements will become part of your muscle memory. The key is to be consistent and give yourself grace on the hard days when you feel like you didn't accomplish much, including any wellness goals. 

I have a handy husband who has made a few things that work well for oil storage. I love putting these oil bars all around the house because the old saying is so true: out of sight, out of mind. These are a cute and functional way to keep essential oils where you need them, so you will use them more often!

My passion for woodworking began long ago in my grandfather's workshop. I remember watching him work tirelessly, turning raw lumber into something new and exciting. Sometimes, I look at his apron hanging in my shop for inspiration during projects. I enjoy creating new, functional and beautiful pieces using wood that I already have on hand. As a self-taught woodworker, I am always up for a challenge!
