#myoilylife

Lets talk about Essential OILS, and my apparent love for them! 

I have affectionately been labeled " The Crazy Oil Lady" by my 10-year-old, and everyone who knows me knows that if you have a problem, one of the things you will most likely hear me say is "I have an oil for that." 

Why Oils, you say? 

I say Why NOT! 

Yes, they sound crazy.....Yes, people look at me a little weird when I pull out a roller bottle filled with oils and rub it on my neck while standing in line at Walmart....and yes, I may smell a "little oily" every now and then! 

But when I look at all the benefits my family and I get from using oils....its so totally worth it :)

My story starts just like most other oil users..I needed something specific...something that would help me RIGHT THEN!!! I couldn't wait any longer. I was DESPERATE!

I have liver disease, which means that even though I would have liked to have taken modern medicine (back before oils), I was unable to. My liver couldn't process the medications. So I was left in pain and unable to find relief.

Living in constant pain, can affect not only your physical health, but it will also affect your mental health. I became so frustrated at myself, that I couldn't even keep my house straight that I began to take my frustrations out on everyone around me. I was in so much pain, that all I could think about was my pain and what I could do to make it stop. Therapy and shots didn't work and I had no other options available to me.

I needed something that I could use, but that wouldn't have a side effect, or make my liver worse(this was key) 

And then there were OILS....and my life changed foever :) 
 
Much to my surprise (not going to lie, I was REALLY surprised) the Oils worked, and I and my family, have NEVER looked back.

The pain I was in began to go away with each passing day, and while these wonderful oils didn't HEAL me, they did allow me to manage my pain and return to my normal activities. 

How wonderful it was to pick up my purse without pain! To wash dishes without needing to stop because of the pain (who would have ever thought that I would be excited to wash the dishes). 

We now use oils in our every day life...It's true when we say that we "have an oil for that."

One of the things I LOVE the most about oils, is how versatile they are. How awesome is it that the oil that helps me for the occasional headache, can also be used to help me when my daughter has tummy issues. I love when I can use something for more then just one issue :) 


 I love sharing and telling others about our experience with oils and how they have blessed our friends and family.  If you would like to learn more about our story, how we use oils daily, and how much they have blessed our family, please feel free to contact me here, browse through our amazing oils, or check out my Link !

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her. ...

Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread...... I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me. Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products) I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe  and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy. In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run. I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine! I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads.......

Becoming Intentional

It seems like forever since I have blogged....its actually only been a few days, but it feels longer...I have been waiting for something to write....something funny....something wonderful.....something inspiring...... However, I have nothing like that to write about.....my writing will be changed forever and as much as I hate that and the reason behind it, I cannot change it. Maybe in the future the tone of my writing will change, but for now I will write whats on my heart...it may not be for anyone but for me...and that is o.k. Today was the 1st day of school for this semester for my daughter Olivia. With us living between 2 homes during Mom's Hospice, I felt like we needed to focus all of our attention on spending as much time with mom as possible. So we put getting back to school on the back burner till we got home. It was the best decision for us, and I will never regret it. The extra hugs and snuggles, and TIME, Olivia was able to spend with her "Gugu" in her la...
