Hope & Lily Aromatherapy

It’s beginning to smell alot like Christmas! 🎄Literally my favourite time of the year and 2020 I get to spend it in Australia 🇦🇺 with the fam! Christmas in a bottle, both Holiday Peace and Holiday Joy are back in stock!

Which means I can whip up my “Ultimate Holiday” diffuser blend:

5 drops Holiday Joy
5 drops Holiday Peace

If you have not had a chance to snag a Volo diffuser, it’s an absolute winning diffuser. Beautiful, classic, timeless. (And it can withstand kids knocking it off counters...😂).

Who’s trying this blend this season? What’s your favorite holiday diffuser blend that you whip up?

The New Moon represents new beginnings and while the was officially the 15th, you can still harness the energy! It’s a time to create new routines, set intentions, reflect, and release what is no longer serving your higher self.

Essential oils can enhance our mood and emotions, while also supporting our physical body. Use any combination of the hulks below during a new moon practice such as:

🌚 Yoga
🌚 Meditation
🌚 Journaling
🌚 Bathing
🌚 Resting

Apply these oils topically,. Inhale from the palms, diffuse or place a drop under the tongue with oils indicated for internal use.

Happy New Moon!

PS - anyone else find this new moon 🌚 emoji creepy? But it is totally apt so needs to be used!

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness month and it’s my mission to tell others about a cancer that is in the top 5 that affects women but isn’t really spoken about...

Do you know that a human can’t live without thyroid hormone? Thyroid hormone helps to regulate major body functions including but not limited to:
🦋 Body temperature
🦋 Body weight & metabolism
🦋 Breathing
🦋 Menstrual cycle
🦋 Muscle strength
🦋 Heart rate
🦋 Nervous system

I didn’t die from this cancer but boy has it turned my world upside down and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Right now I’m struggling with low iron and calcium and that is a whole other set of issues - but I’m alive and so grateful to be home with family and friends in Australia! I’m also thankful for all the love and support of those around me, for whom without I would be in a very different place!

So may you learn a little more this month about the Thyroid in general as it’s a vital organ for human life! 💜🦋

💜 The more you learn about what essential oils are, how they work, and how they can be used safely, the more they can become a helpful part of your everyday life.⠀
⠀
When used properly, essential oils can become quite literally an “essential” part of your daily routine and their versatility is limitless and that’s exactly what they are for me! 💜⠀
⠀
While some think essential oils are merely a fad that will eventually pass, essential oils have actually been around for hundreds of years. Plant extracts and essential oils were used anciently for a number of tasks and they can be used today to cultivate a healthy lifestyle and promote well-being.⠀
⠀
While many know that essential oils are useful for such things as aromatherapy and purifying the air, some people are shocked to learn that essential oils can also be used for cooking, personal hygiene, household cleaning, promoting sleep, mood management, and more.⠀
⠀

🦋 During times of uncertainty, it’s always good to reflect on how far you’ve come and what you have been able to already conquer! 🦋 Feeling a little sad today but knowing I kicked cancer 2.0 and in a healing journey, despite it being harder and more invasive than my first round, lifts my spirits ever so slightly. 💜 Today, May 25th, is also World Thyroid Day - a day dedicated to the elusive, but life critical organ, I now no longer have, but more info on that next time.
⠀
This was 8 months ago and so much can change in that period of time. During I am trying to instill some great habits and while today I didn’t complete them successfully, tomorrow is a new dawn to try again! Be kind to yourself and others - we’re all feeling a little vulnerable! 🦋⠀

PS My hospital bed pic is an absolute mood😆⠀
Miss you Madre! ⠀
