My Desert Island Oil

Rommy Kirby — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 19:13:15 +0000

I’ve been using essential oils since 2005

I use them to clean my home and to care for my body safely so I could improve my life and reduce my body’s toxic load. At that time, there were no online schools easily accessible and if there were, I really wasn’t healthy enough to a lot of electronic searching, much less retain much of the science heavy courses available.

I wanted practical, simple, and effective ways to use essential oils for my well-being.

So I started reading, learning from others, and experiencing the effects of the oils for my body.

I kept hearing everyone talk about Lavender Essential Oil and how they regarded it as an integral part of their essential oil kit, so much so that they would not leave the house without it.

I could not stand the smell of Lavender. But you know what, I had actually never smelled pure Lavender Essential Oil, I have been smelling synthetic fragrance oils. No wonder I didn’t like the sticky sweet smell I thought was lavender.

Now that I have become aware of the difference between a pure, safe, and unadulterated essential oi synthesized or inferior essential oil, Lavender Essential Oil has become my Desert Island Oil. It is always in my purse, I keep it on my kitchen counter, by my bed and in my bathroom. I use it for everything, soothing savage stress, as skin calmer, pest control and to ease jangled nerves. It’s the first thing I reach for when I feel occasional aches and to relieve tension, whether it’s in my head, muscles, or on my skin.

I love Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years!

But these celebrations, long nights and short days can make for one really long, stressed out holiday season that can set us up for blues and flu. Bah-humbug and Yuck!

Because I know how brutal stress can be, the havoc it can wreak on your health, your skin, and your relationships so I want to share with you my Holiday Survival Kit.

First, there are 3 elegant strategies……that will help you enjoy this holiday season more, however you celebrate and what ever you do.

These are simple, easy, action steps.

But here’s the thing…they are just as easy not to do, okay, so you really must set an intention to keep it easy, do the easy and reap the benefits.

Stay Hydrated. You know I harp on this, I know I harp on this. For very good reason. Here’s what happened to me a few weeks when I let travel get the best of me and didn’t stay hydrated. I got a migraine…a full blown, throw my guts up, everything hurts migraine. Because I was so dehydrated, it took me a few days to fully recover. Click here for my tips.

Get enough sleep. Seriously, sleep is important. There is truth in the term Beauty Sleep. Click here for my tips.

Lighten your load. Look at your to do list for today. Chances are there is at least 1 thing you can take off. Delete it, scratch it off and don’t give it another thought. No one will ever know and if your mother finds out, she’ll forgive you.

Remember chronic stress adds pounds and inches to the waistline and it weakens our immune system. Because of the added stress, we all need a little more support and self care this time of year.
