Felice's Essentials: Peppermint Essential Oil

Welcome to my series on how to use my favorite essential oils.

Today, I've got peppermint essential oil for you! Peppermint is one of the most popular oils and you can use it for such a wide variety of ways. Check out 10 easy ways to use peppermint:

1. Boost Your Workout. Rub one drop of peppermint between your hands and then inhale before going for a run or working out. It will increase your oxygen uptake and increase your energy.

2. Calm an Upset Stomach. Rub a drop of peppermint on your stomach or inhale from your hands to calm queasiness. Works great when you feel queasy in the car!

3. Cool Down. If you start to feel over-heated, rub a drop of peppermint on the back of your neck or the inside of your wrists to cool down.

4. Release Head Tension. When head tension strikes, rub a drop of peppermint over your temples. Be careful not to get it in or too close to your eyes!

5. Loosen Up. Mix 2-3 drops of peppermint with some fractionated coconut oil and rub over tense or tight ligaments, like those on the bottom of your feet. 

6. Breathe Easy. If you are bothered by stuffiness, rub a drop of peppermint across your sinuses to help you breathe a little easier.

7. Keep Ants Away. Mix about 20 drops of peppermint with water in a 4oz glass spray bottle. Shake well. Spray anywhere you see ants to keep them away.

8.  Freshen Your Breath. Use a drop of peppermint with lemon in water for a healthy, refreshing mouth rinse.

9. Brownie Refresh-mint. Add 4 drops of peppermint to your favorite brownie recipe. Minty yumminess!

10. Keep Kids on Task. Diffuse peppermint (with wild orange, if you'd like) during homework time to keep your kids focused.

How do you use peppermint? Leave your favorite use in the comments!

Felice's Essentials: Lavender Essential Oil

Welcome to my new series on my top 10 essential oils and how to use them. 

I'm starting with lavender, which is the one oil that people are most familiar with. It is user-friendly and very versatile. Lavender is a go-to for a range of issues from sleep to bug bites and lots of things in between. Let's check out how you can use lavender!

1. Sleepy Time! Lavender is one of the best essential oils for sleep. Rub a drop of lavender on the bottom of your feet, or back of your neck for sweet slumber.

2. Relax. Add 5 drops of lavender to a half cup of Epsom salts and add both to your bath water for a relaxing soak.

3. Sting Soother. Put a drop of lavender on a bee sting or bug bite to take away the itch or sting.

4. Burn Relief. Dab a drop of lavender on a burn to help your body heal itself quickly and to reduce swelling, redness, and the pain of a burn.

5. Stop Sneezes. Add equal parts lavender, lemon, and peppermint to a roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil. Roll under your nose and behind your ears to relieve seasonal sniffles. (This is also a good way to use essential oils for snoring.)

6. Diffuse Away Soreness. If you've overdone it in your workout and your muscles are sore, diffuse lavender at night to help with recovery. You'll sleep better and your muscles will feel better the next morning!

7. Freshen Laundry. Add 2-3 drops of lavender to wool dryer balls to freshener your laundry, naturally, without the toxins found in dryer sheets!

8. Love Your Nails. Mix a few drops of lavender with fractionated coconut oil. Rub on your fingernails and cuticles each night before bed to help strengthen your nails and soften your cuticles.

9. Relieve Irritation. Rub lavender on skin irritation, including pesky chafing. It will calm your skin and allow it to heal.

10. After-Sun Soother. If you've gotten too much sun, rub lavender on red areas.

Do you have any favorite ways to use lavender? Please share them in the comments!

Using essential oils aromatically

The most popular way to use essential oils is aromatically, which includes using a diffuser, inhaling oils from your hands, or using diffuser jewelry.

DIFFUSING:

Diffusing is one of the best ways to experience oils. Certain essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing can have amazing emotional benefits, and can purify air of some airborne pathogens and unwanted odors. No-heat diffusers are recommended because they do not change the chemical structure of the oil that is being diffused.

INHALING USING YOUR HANDS:

Add 1-2 drops of essential oil onto your hands and then rub your hands together. Cup your hands over your nose- breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

DIFFUSER JEWELRY:

Other ways of diffusing oils includes wearing diffuser necklaces or bracelets. These are typically made of clay, lava beads, suede, or some other material that will capture and slowly release the aroma, and require just a drop of oil.

Aromatic use is a particularly effective way to use oils for emotional support and stress or anxiety reduction.

Best holiday diffuser blends

Holiday essential oil diffuser blends! Get ready to enjoy these wonderful scents of the season this year. Just get out your diffuser, pick one of my five favorite essential oil holiday blends, and kick back and relax.

OK, you probably aren't kicking back and relaxing right now. But with these blends you might feel a little like you are :-)

Here are my 5 favorite essential oil diffuser blends for the holidays:

Fresh Cut Trees Diffuser Blend

I love the way my house smells when we first bring our Christmas tree home each year. This diffuser blend captures that scent so even if you put up an artificial tree, or you don't have a tree, you can enjoy the fresh scent anytime you'd like.

Essential Oils for the Nervous Nellie.

There are many essential oils that have calming and grounding properties, perfect for those days when your inner Nervous Nellie might be rearing her anxious head.

Balance, Serenity, Frankincense, Lavender, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Peace, and Vetiver all can help calm nerves and reduce anxious feelings. Each of these oils can be used alone, or you can combine them to fit your individual needs.

I'm particularly fond of Balance and Bergamot together, and I wear those two often on my diffuser necklace. Many others swear by Balance and Serenity, and Lavender and Vetiver is a wonderful choice for when you're having a hard time turning your mind off at night.

Apply a drop of the oil to the inside of your wrists, back of your neck, or bottoms of your feet. You can also use 3-6 drops in your diffuser, or just put a drop of oil in your hands, rub them together, and then inhale.

Perfect Autumn Diffuser Blend

You've probably all heard how rotten scented candles are for your respiratory and overall health. But, I get it. You love the smell! It makes you feel good.

So, why not try to switch it up with a fall diffuser blend? Your body will thank you!

Enjoy!

Self Discovery with Essential Oils

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."

-- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

For real. Who are you? Who am I, for that matter?

Who are we?!?!?

Good question. But one worth seeking the answer. And the answer can only be found through a journey to self discovery. You are really the only one who can find out who you are. 

But, yikes. The journey of self-discovery can be a scary one. You learn things about yourself that you might not like -- things that are hard to change but that, when released, can lead to a more fulfilling life. 

It is worth it, I'm sure. And there are plenty of tools that can help as you seek to find your true self. One of those tools is essential oils. Several oils have wonderfully supportive emotional properties and if you'd like to support yourself as you release your limiting beliefs and move toward self-acceptance and compassion, well, I have some oils for you!

Let's start with these:

Bergamot: The oil of self acceptance.

Wild Orange: The oil of abundance.

Geranium: The oil of love and trust.

White Fir: The oil of generational healing.

You can use the oils individually, or blend them together in a roller bottle to wear as you travel on your journey toward self discovery. You may find that some days you apply it once, some days more often. Your body will tell you what you need -- if you listen!

*** Please note that the citrus oils in this blend can cause photo-sensitivity so avoid sunlight after using this blend on your skin. Or, apply the blend on the bottom of your feet or other skin that will not be exposed to sunlight.***

Teaching Team Profile: Rebecca Boswell

I invite you to learn more about the wonderful people who comprise the Essentially Happy Living teaching team. These individuals each bring a unique perspective to their essential oils business -- everyone has their own teaching style and their own strengths. The really cool part is that the members of our teaching team are so supportive of one another and always lifting each other up. What an honor it is to know and work with this team!

To start us off, I'm happy to introduce Rebecca Boswell. She was the first person I enrolled (!!!) and I am forever grateful that she is part of my life. She has a diverse background in holistic wellness (you can learn more about her at her web site: www.rebeccaboswell.com) and she shares her knowledge freely.

Name: Rebecca Boswell

Where you live: Greenville, SC

Family: Daughter Maile (8yo), son Griffin (5yo), bunny Cobie, and hubby Jed.

Favorite book: Too many to list. Some favorites include, The Alchemist, The Four Agreements, and most anything that lifts my spirit and brings me closer to center.

How you got into essential oils: I have been exposed to essential oils my whole life through my aunt in Austria (a western-trained pharmacist, who incorporated natural solutions into her work, including homeopathy, herbal treatments, and essential oils). When I was introduced to my favorite therapeutic-grade oils in June of 2014, I was thrilled with the quality, standards of practice, and co-impact sourcing model. In November of 2014 I chose to offer my first class, and by January of 2015 I was committed to building a business, as part of my existing holistic wellness practice. I am excited to get my oils each month and love sharing them with others. One of my favorite things is getting emails, calls, and texts out of the blue from Wellness Advocates I have enrolled, telling me about how much they love their oils, a new discovery, something that performed miracles in their household, and sometimes to just say 'thank you' for introducing them to a whole new approach to health in their homes. I have an amazing team and am so grateful to the balance my oils offer me emotionally, physically, and financially.

Favorite oil/diffuser blend: This changes, depending on my mood, situation, energy level, and environment. I do like Tangerine and Spearmint combined when I'm working (or Peppermint and Wild Orange), Uplifting Blend when I need a little extra sunshine, Cleansing Blend if there is any kind of lingering odor, Protective Blend if I want to boost my immunity, and a mix of Grounding Blend and Calming Blend to help sleep or relax.

doterra essential oils 

Welcome!

Welcome to Essentially Happy Living!

Are you interested in natural wellness solutions? Would you like to find safer, cheaper, more effective health and wellness care for you and your family?

Well, so would I!

I have begun using essential oils to support my healthy lifestyle and I love them! I use them on my skin, diffuse the oils in my home to clean the air, and even eat and drink them. I'm hooked :-)

Now -- let me back up a little to share with you how I first was introduced to the healing properties of essential oils.

Back in August 2011, I was diagnosed with a tick-borne illness. I was put on a 30 day course of doxycycline and really struggled. I developed severe nerve pain all along my left side -- from my toes to my head. I had debilitating fatigue and weird, migratory joint and spinal pain. It was awful. After a lot of back and forth with my doctors, and no relief, I went to see someone who specialized in integrative medicine.

A-ha!

She identified that -- among other auto-immune issues -- I had several active viruses, probably activated by the tick-borne illness.

She prescribed a unique, complex treatment that, over several months, involved herbal, mushroom, and other supplements; enzymes; probiotics; and essential oils. I was also instructed to start an anti-inflammatory diet.

It did not happen over night, but I got better.

Am I 100%? Not quite. But my treatment with the natural solutions from the integrative medicine specialist has made the difference in my life -- allowing me to move away from pain and back to vitality.

Recently, a good friend introduced me to her favorite essential oils and I was newly hooked! I've been using the oils and other products and I feel great!

I would love for you to join me in this journey!

How to Purchase Essential Oils

You can purchase my favorite essential oil products three ways:

Retail: If you are interested in purchasing only a few single oils, you can do so through my retail site (email me for a link! felicehalf at yahoo dot com). This option does not include any benefits for you, however.

Wholesale: My favorite essential oils offers a wholesale membership (similar to those at BJs or Costco) for just $35. With that, you get 25% off the retail price. It is super easy to sign up and you can either do so with a full enrollment kit -- or just purchase the membership and then purchase your oils at wholesale. It's a great deal and it in no way obligates you to sell the oils. But if you want to, you certainly can!

Below Wholesale: Wait . . . what? Below wholesale?!? Yup, you read that right. To purchase your oils at below wholesale prices, all you have to do is sign up for a wholesale account and then join the Loyalty Rewards Program. It is kinda like a frequent flyer program where you earn points based on your purchase. Rack up some points and start getting your oils for below wholesale!

The best thing about the Loyalty Rewards Program is that although you have the opportunity to receive up to 30% back in product credits (in addition to your 25% wholesale discount), you are NOT locked in.You can order as much or as little as you'd like each month. But, you can purchase products for a huge discount -- and you can be eligible to get the free product of the month.

More About Essential Oils

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the roots, leaves, flowers, fruit, and bark of plants. They are beautifully and powerfully fragrant, highly concentrated and, believe me, just a little goes a long way.

Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells, but they also provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination.

The best part? Each essential oil has many -- sometimes hundreds -- of uses. Some oils help to fight infections and inflammation, some soothe emotional issues, some help repair skin and help the body heal itself. It goes on and on. The bottom line: Essential oils can provide you and your family with safer, cheaper and more effective health and wellness care.

Are you ready to become empowered 

and take your health and wellness into your own hands like I am?
