If your child picks up colds and coughs easily, have you ever thought about giving them a natural helping hand??
Massaging this into the soles of the feet at the start of the day, just gives an added helping hand.

We are getting to the time of year when nasty bugs are going to start doing their rounds, so I thought I would share the things I do to keep them at bay.
Below are 3 different diffuser blends, I have the 3rd going daily and I use the other 2 depending in what's going around at the time!

It's the season for the dreaded flies 😫
I put 5 drops each of lemon, peppermint, citronella and eucalyptus and top the bottle with water. Give a shake and then spray like your rooms like you would an airfreshener.
I also use this blend in my diffuser in my kitchen at the moment also!
The flying critters are certainly not keen!!

My kitchen surface spray
10 drops each of lemon and tea tree. 5 drops of purify.
1/4 fill the glass bottle with white vinegar and then top with water.
Amazing for counter tops. Just spray and wipe no need to rinse.

This is the spray I use for my toilet!
It has
10 drops each of Peppermint, lemon and tea tree and 4 drops of Oregano.
I 1/4 fill the bottle with white vinegar and then top with water.
I spray this all around the toilet including the bowl, I then sprinkle baking all around the inside, leave it while I wipe around the toilet, then I give the inside another spray and clean with toilet brush and then flush.
My toilet is as clean as the days I used bleach. I used to love the smell of bleach, but it's so bad for you. Now I just have the glorious smell of my oils!

I was going to do some little videos about how I use my oils for cleaning, rather than buying branded products, but I don't really feel confident enough!
So in bulk from amazon I buy white vinegar, baking soda, citric acid and witch Hazel.
Below is a picture of a mould spray, I spray this around my bath, sink, the rubber of my washing machine, anywhere that mould can appear really and this keeps it at bay. No mould.
In my glass spray bottle I put 10 drops of tea tree and 10 drops of Oregano and then fill the bottle with white vinegar.
As easy as that.

This might be a long post and for that I do apologise.
As most will know I have been suffering with my health since 2018, I have tried everything my neurologist offered, but still my health and life were awful. I won't go into the ins and out of my health conditions, but feel free to pop me message and ask any questions if you would like.
A year ago I came across a fabulous lady, who I like to think is now a friend Daisy Hart and doTerra. I have used the oils to help me in so many different areas of my life and home, I use them for cleaning; I haven't brought a shop bought cleaning product in a long time, I diffuse them for allergies, repelling flies, energy, sleep, the list is endless.
But what I want to give the biggest shout out to is the supplements (see picture below) since I have been taking these I found I was having a few more good than bad days, then I started the phytoestrogen and that has simply changed everything for me. Don't get me wrong I do still have bad days, but my good days now out weigh the bad rather than the other way around. I literally can't imagine how I would be without them.
I am not a doctor or a medical expert, I'm simply just posting my experience in the hope that I may be able to help others.
I am on medication that I will be on for life and I have no plans to stop this, but I also believe that natural ways can also help,
Anyway that's enough of my waffle.
If you would like anymore info please pop me a message, if I can help I will 🥰

Here are some different oils that can help ease stress/anxiety. If you find the one that's right for you just add it to lava bead and inhale the gorgeous smell.
There is literally an oil for everything!
If you fancy trying a bracelet whether for something ive posted or one that I haven't, please pop me a message and I'll see if I can help.

I know I posted the hay-fever bracelet yesterday, but people do seem to be suffering quite bad this year.
Touch wood I'm doing ok; just the odd sneeze here and there, which is a million times better than how I used to suffer.
This blend of oils works for me and it may help others.
If you would like more info or want to give it a try, please just pop me a message.

I am extremely prone to being bites by whatever decides to have a go, whilst in holiday I got 12 bites! Plus I react to them also.
Thus blend of oils helps to keep bugs away and you bite free! I've been wearing a bracelet on my wrist and ankle since I've been back and so far no bites. (I've probably just jinxed myself!)
If you would like to try or woyid like more info please just pip me a message.

Hay-fever!
If you suffer like I do, then this may help!
The lava bead absorbs the essential oils and this combination of oils does really help.
Just being able to inhale the oils may help to relieve some if your symptoms.

Let's talk hay fever/allergies
If like me you suffer from hay fever that bad that you spend the summer walking round like a crying rudolph, then I may be able to help relieve your symptoms. I have suffered since the age of 15, badly, to the point I can't wear any eye make up as I'd resemble a member of kiss if I did. Last year after having enough, I decided to see if my oils could help. I had no symptoms last year and hoping for the same this year.
What did I do??
I diffuse lemon, lavender and peppermint every day.
I also put 2 drops of lemon, lavender and peppermint into a veggie cap and take one each morning.....
I know it's hard to shy away from over the counter pills, birthday they didn't really help unless I took more than the 1 a day stated.
It's got to be worth a try right?
Get in touch if you would a free sample or know more.

I just thought I'd give you a little insight into how i use my oils to enhance my days.
So over the bank holiday weekend, I managed to miscalculated my tablets and I actually run out (I'm all for prescription meds, don't think I'm not, I couldn't live without mine) so I used my oils, supplements and the strongest over the counter med I could get and I've been able to keep my pain at an ok level....which for me is amazing.
So I did
1 drop Copaiba under my tounge
1 drop Frankincense rubbed into roof of my mouth
2 drops of Peppermint in a veggie cap
And used lemon and grapefruit in my water.
I took 1 med in the morning and 1 in the evening at the same time as my supplements.
I can feel my pain, it's been hard BUT I have managed to have a half decent weekend.
My day to day life would be nothing without my oils.
They can help with whole range of things. Feel free to pop me a message, if you want to know more. Don't wait till breaking point like I did. Literally the best life change I've done.

Every body likes free stuff.....
The educational classes are a fab source of free learning.
I use my free points to purchase oils I wouldn't normally.
And I look forward to seeing what the free product is every month.
These oils have completely changed my life.
Feel free to comment or message me for more info.

I did a post about a shampoo and conditioner; what did I think?
Well for me it's been a game changer! I washed my hair last Sunday evening (after spending the weekend at Scout camp, so my hair was incredibly smokey amongst other things) I needed just one pump of shampoo and for a change I got loads of soapiness from the off (normally I get that on my 2nd shampoo) also if my hair hadn't been so smokey I would only have needed one lot of shampoo; I can't remember a time I've ever only shampooed once! Moving on to the conditioner, just one pump was enough (I know my hair is short, but I have this thing were I like my hair saturated in conditioner!!) I gave my ends a good massage and left for 2 mins before rinsing.
It's now Thursday and I don't have my normal greasy hair, that really does need washing but I can't be bothered!
My hair doesn't fall out as much and it just generally feels much healthier.
For me personally I love them, I know people have brands they have stuck to for years. But if your feeling like a change, don't hesitate to get in touch.
I can also do a try before a buy, that's got to be a plus 😊
On a serious note the fact I can go a week without looking like a tramp is a massive win for me. Washing my hair used to be a thing I loved to do, now it's just pain and the less I have to do it the better. The fact my hair smells amazing and looks a lot healthier are just more added bonuses.

This is an extremely interesting read especially if you suffer with seizures like I do.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=767569364729554&id=100044294926286

About 33% of people with seizures don't experience resolution by taking medications. A preclinical model of status epilepticus (a seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minutes period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes) evaluated the primary constituent of lemongrass essential oil, citral. Citral reduced seizure onset, protected against brain cell death, and reduced the overexpression of pro-inflammatory genes. This preclinical model demonstrates that citral may be beneficial for seizure disorders and warrants further research.

I am going to be setting up a Facebook group, aimed at menopause. It's for support, to share tips and just be there for each other. If like me you have started feeling the effects, please feel free to join the group, I will post it once it's up and let's help each other through this.

A tip for hot flushes
I carry a spray bottle with peppermint oil and distilled water. I just spritz myself every time I need to; sometimes it's hand my constantly! But it really does cool you down.

If like me you suffered when your period came, then this may be a good read for you. Dr.Scott has done so much research and written a lot of books, so he definitely knows what he's talking about.
Smelling/inhaling Rose oil for 15 mins at the first sign of cramping could help ease the pain, without the need to take medication.
Got to be worth a try!
I would suggest using a good quality, pure oil.

I just want to take a moment to big up a product I have been using. As many of my friends will know, I do like to put my fingers through hell, it's something that I'm working on but it's like an addiction, I just find my self pulling my fingers to shreds! Anyway yesterday evening, I covered each of my fingers in cream and have been doing so regularly since. On the hand in the picture 2 of my fingers have healed and the other 3 are so much better than they were. (Although my urge to claw them is massive 😭😫 I am trying so hard not to)
Correct X is also good for dry chapped lips, spots, cuts, grazes, just about anything. I have one in my handbag all the time.
Ps please excuse my picked of nail varnish!
Pps I really need to take before pictures also!

Following on from my cold, all I have left now is an annoying cough, so below is a picture of my new mixture, so I can just concentrate on my cough.

It tastes divine, but hopefully the cough will go soon. I'll let you know.

8 drops of Peppermint, Lemon and Wild Orange
2 drops of Onguard.

When you've got a cold, this always sorts me out quickly.
1 teaspoon 3x a day.
The best thing is, unlike store brought products I know exactly what I'm taking 😍

Essentially Jo updated their website address.

This little mixture of supplements and oils, are what's helping live a relatively normal life. I still have ups and downs, but I would be a lot worse off without these.
It's easy to brush natural remedies aside, but honestly its the best thing I ever done.
If anyone would like any info, there is literally an oil for everything.
