itāll be seven years this year that Iāve been using oils. SEVEN YEARS. and I still learn new stuff all the time.
when I was first introduced to them, I found myself drawn to their physical healing properties. they worked immediately + that got my even more curious about plant power š¤š¼. now I used them for SO much more.
like this photo: my little rainbow of happy. these specific oils help emotionally, internally, physically, and just plain upping my frequency (think of this like your attitude!). frank - my second favorite f word. helps calm my crazy ass down when Iām doing (and thinking) too much.
copaiba - I used this in capsules for a variety of reasons, but my fave is supporting my digestion. what can I say, I eat a lot of tacos.
dragon time - every femaleās best friend monthly.
panaway - tired muscles, or a sore neck? a little dab will do ya š¤£. inner child. this one is sooooo good to cheering me up. itās like a bottle of fresh cut flowers, and who doesnāt feel better smelling that!? so donāt be afraid of experimenting with oils! try them for all the things your gut tells you you could use them for! there are no wrong answers + you will be pleasantly surprised at how much good they can do!
and tell me - whatās one way youāre using oils today that you never knew you needed them for when you first got your hands on them?
in a world where weāre all busy, where we all have responsibilities, to-do lists longer than we care to admit, families and friends to care about, and crazy shit to figure out - itās so refreshing to come across a genuinely kind human being.
I had a really awesome, albeit short, encounter today with one of those beautiful souls. she was a barista at Starbucks, and she probably deals with a lot of not-so-pleasant people on a daily basis. she was so kind to me today; and for whatever reason it hit me at just the right time. I needed her genuine kindness more than I could have ever known.
I am always affected by negativity more than Iād like to admit. as a little kid, I used to grab my moms face and ask her to āpile to meā when she wasnāt naturally showing off her beautiful smile. Iāve experienced some pretty awful shit - who hasnāt!? - and in the past, I would let someone elseās bad day or negative attitude set my tone for the day. Iām slowly but surely learning how to combat that (thanks to oils, meditation, a few kick ass spiritual gurus + some incredible fucking souls in my life - you know who you are), but it takes time, and a CONSTANT reminder that no one else determines how we feel except for us.
so to whomever needs to hear it today - BE FUCKING KIND. for no reason at all. and if youāre in a funk - please watch how you speak to and treat others in your life. donāt subconsciously try to bring others down to your level. itās gross. ...and you may have never been taught this but youāre meant to feel good for no reason at all, too. you are meant to be happy without any strings attached. we have to stop tying ourselves down when weāre meant to fly.
