When was the last time you did a bodymindsoul inventory? Checking into where you’re at in each of those areas? What have you been ignoring? What have you been holding onto? What did you forget about? What are you putting up with? What are you dragging around? What have you ’tried everything’ for? Where would you like to grow? It can be so easy to get caught up with having to do this and that, setting goals and what you need to do to reach your desired result, that we can forget about HOW we want the journey to be. If there’s a health and wellbeing goal you’d like to work on and want to try the power of essential oils to suppor...

January can seem soooo long, and then February tends to get all the blame. The good news is, I've got an oil for you, and I know it makes a difference. One lady in our community says that since she’s been using oils, it’s the first time she feels she can get through the winter without feeling low the entire time. I diffus...

What’s your favourite part of the day? I have to say that I love mornings once everyone’s out at kindy/school/work (except Dom starts a new job soon and will also be working from home, yikes!), the puppy’s lying on my feet (toasty warm and soft!) and I can dig into my work. Between you and me, I’m often still in my PJs at this stage. I love this time because it’s full of possibility. I set myself up for success: uplifting citrus oils in the diffuser for motivation, a drop of Frankincense under my tongue for mood support, oily pure-fume behind my ears, hormone balancing oil on (seriously, I could go on!), water jug by my computer with a drop of le...

Oils are volatile aromatic compounds. This means that they waft into the air (the reason you can smell a lavender bush as you walk past it). They're extracts from plants found inside roots, seeds, flowers, bark.  Now, my favourite part - they help keep the plant safe, warding away harmful pathogens and assisting...

Hands up if you’re a multi-tasking Queen! Did you know that your brain cannot, in fact, multitask? Ladies, there, I said it! Your brain loves to ONE TASK. You may think you’re good at multitasking but your brain actually jumps in and out of each thing you’re doing. It’s like interval training for your brain all.day.long. Or hoping in and out of tabs one after the other. Exhausting....

Do you find yourself tense in the evening? Perhaps it feels like your shoulders are around your ears, or just super heavy? I get that sometimes and find it hard to go to bed on days like that, almost as though the day hasn't had a satisfying end to it yet (anyone else, or is that just me??!). So I do this. Now I do it almost every evening just because I love it so much. It's effective, instantly releasing and just really helps my body and mind to wind down in seconds...and ready for bed, the weight of the world, literally, off my shoulders. Many people reach for...

Creating new habits can be hard, am I right?! But - the science of neuroplasticity shows that we can re-wire our brains. We can create new neural pathways that guide us to instil healthier habits. Here's how. Oh, and when you've watched this, pop down to the comments to let me know one new habit you'd love to adopt! Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

Come along with me as I walk through our flat to show you exactly how I set myself up for success with my daily health habits. You'll see how easy! When you stack health habits like this throughout the day, it's much easier to stick to them. Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

Essential oils aren’t just nice smelling bottles of oils. When you start using oils this pure, this potent, you get that there’s more to them than that, that they have real therapeutic value - and knowing how to best use them will optimise your experience. This is how they become the first thing you reach for. They are effective, useful, supportive and for many, no less than life changing. Here are a few ways you can educate yourself: - doTERRA’s blog (science blog, DIYs, free ebooks) - doTERRA’s apps ‘Daily drop’ and...

after exercise or during menstruation? or to reduce feelings of tension for kids' growing legs? This oil. One of the great things about using natural options, is that you can reapply them as often as needed. Every 5 minutes, or 30, or every 2 hours or just twice a day. There’s no restriction as long as you dilute them and use them little and often. And if it’s emotional traumas you want support with, again, use this one. If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know the at I strongly believe that physical discomfort is intrinsically linked to our emotional life. Knee discomfort? Maybe there’s something holding you back from moving forwards? Lower back discomfort...

Is your face cream so natural that your dog wants to lick it off thinking it’s a delicious treat?  I literally have to peel Joey's tongue off my face - I could leave it there as I know that the products I use are 100% clean so won’t poison him. But, when I’ve just enjoyed a lovely face routine, I don’t really want his sticky tongue all over (apparently the eye lids are his favourite spot, must be the additional yarrow pom I add there). The average woman uses 12 products a day. That’s around 168 chemicals on average. Teens use on average 17 personal care products a day. These products have been shown to contain 16 different hormone disrupting chemicals. This is not good. For babies, children, teens, adults. ...

Do you have a favourite perfume? It’s one of those things that can feel so personal and hard to let go of if you have a favourite! Now that I’ve switched to all natural everything, I can’t even cycle behind someone wearing perfume without squirming. Hospital entrances (in Denmark at least) ask people not to enter if wearing perfume. Hmmm… Fragrance companies aren't required to disclose ingredients? And so you have the general term “fragrance.” Whenever you see this - whether on personal care products or household cleaning products, it ain’t good. Fragrances have been linked to health issues such as respiratory issues, allergic reactions, n...

Check out my post surgery skin support roller! So pretty! It’s got: *15 drops yarrow Pom (the chemazulene compound in it is what gives the blue colour. It’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory) *5 drops Rose *10 drops Sandalwood, frankincense, myrhh I roll it around the plaster for now and once the stitches have fallen out in 10 days or so I’ll roll it directly on the relevant skin area for several months to promote healthy skin rejuvenation. Many times a day. Btw I use most of these oils on my face daily for the collagen supper, cellular regeneration, you know, that glow and graceful ageing we all want Tell me what you think about this colour!?
