Who needs more energy?

Oils for motivation and energy

Could you use a motivational cheerleader each day to get you going, put some pep in your step, and help you move through your day with motivation and energy?

Mental tiredness can lead to difficulty focusing, irritability, and loss of passion. Lack of energy can be caused by a host of factors such as thyroid function and adrenal imbalance.

Mental and physical fatigue are common reasons why you may be lacking in the “Ra Ra Ra” department (hear that cheerleader??) but emotions are also large factors in finding our strength each day…to get moving inside and outside.

There are some great oils that can tackle all of this. I love to diffuse something each morning to get going and I also use a variety of oils topically throughout the day to keep me energized.

I keep the essential oil blend En-R-Gee in my bag for those afternoons when I feel a little sluggish. A quick dab on the wrists perks me up.

Unlock your skin’s natural glow: Essential tips for healthy skin

by amaryllisturman

Did you know your skin is your body’s largest organ and a vital protective barrier? Taking care of it isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about supporting your overall health and well-being.

Here are some key habits to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin:

1. Nourish from the inside out: Fuel your skin with a balanced diet

  • Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables: These are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that combat cell-damaging free radicals and promote skin health. Brightly colored varieties like berries, tomatoes, leafy greens, and nuts are particularly beneficial.
  • Incorporate healthy fats: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated, plump, and supple.

2. Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays

  • Wear sunscreen daily: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even on cloudy days, to protect against sun damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
  • Seek shade and wear protective clothing: Minimize sun exposure, especially during peak hours, and cover up with hats and long sleeves when outdoors.
  • Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps: These emit harmful UV rays that accelerate skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

3. Establish a consistent skincare routine

  • Cleanse gently: Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser suited for your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Avoid harsh scrubbing that can irritate the skin.
  • Moisturize regularly: Apply moisturizer after cleansing to hydrate and nourish your skin. Choose a formula that’s right for your skin type – lighter lotions for normal or oily skin, and richer creams for dry or mature skin.
  • Consider targeted treatments: Incorporate serums or treatments with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to address specific concerns like fine lines or hyperpigmentation

Pets and Fireworks

by amaryllisturman

Who loves Fireworks!?!?

Fireworks Photo cred: Ray Hennessy

Most people do but for our furry friends, they can be frightening.

Did you know the noise from the fireworks can cause animals to run away from home because they are disoriented and scared?

Since most people won’t be shooting quiet fireworks, PREPARATION is needed.

Here are my top preparation tips for fireworks.

WAYS TO HELP YOUR ANIMALS DURING FIREWORKS

1. Make sure your dog gets lots of exercise before fireworks start.

2. Be sure your pet has a safe place to hide inside.

3. Play calming music. Did you know YouTube and Spotify have playlists for dogs and cats? Google “calming music dogs” or “calming music cats”

5. Make sure to put a leash and collar or harness on if your dog has to go outside – EVEN if your yard is fenced in.

6. Ensure your pet has a microchip and the information up-to-date.

7. Try to distract them with treats and toys.

8. Diffuse high quality essential oils to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere. Suggested Oils to Use: Peace and Calming, Lavender, Valor, Roman Chamomile, or Copaiba.

Don’t have oils yet? Here’s a link you can use to order high quality oils to use topically and diffuse as needed to promote a calming atmosphere.
