It feels like spring has come early seeing these blossoms 🌸. Feeling very lucky to have spaces like this right near us.

Getting daily fresh air and exercise is helping save the sanity over here!
.
Take a moment to stop, breathe (maybe 3 breaths is required to really stop/slow down), think of something you are grateful for today (gratitude is one of the best ways to change your mindset), and get some fresh air, sun on the skin (for that Uber important Vitamin D) and exercise to help things moving and flowing in the body.
.
What’s one thing you are doing today or grateful for?

Rest. Yes rest. I’ll say it again, rest! With winter 🥶 months upon us we need to start getting serious about our immune system and supporting it.
.
There are a gazillion things we can do, take, drink, eat, supplement, apply but rest is one of the most critical. We need this to just function properly.
.
My body gave me a bit of a wake up call with a cold and lingering loss of voice (I have a toddler to thank for part of the too many late nights!! ) but it’s been a good reminder to not burn the candle at both ends!
.
What strategies do you have in place to just rest more. I mean quality rest even for short periods of time during the day as well?

These two. They bring me joy, laughter, challenges

These two. They bring me joy, laughter, challenges, learning, help me build patience and resilience, but most of all I’m just so grateful to have them, and to still have my own mumma with us.
.
To all the mama’s out there, stepmoms, foster mums, Fur mums, those yearning to be mums, those who’ve chosen not to be mums, those who’ve lost mums and everyone else, I am sending you hugs, love on this day❤️

I get asked all the time about sleep support 😴.

I get asked all the time about sleep support 😴. Let's face it, most families have at least one person who struggles with this (whether that be a child or adult). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always recommend switching devices off at least an hour before bed, try a relaxing epsom salts bath, do something relaxing before bed, and dim the lights to prepare the brain for sleep, and oils of course!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are so many options for oils to use, and so many blend combinations (I love we can pick and choose from so many!) some popular ones which you can blend together are Lavender, Frankincense, Cedarwood, Copaiba, Lavender Peace, Balance, Console, Peace, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, the list goes on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To Diffuse or use a roller? Up to you! What do you prefer? What is easiest and that you will do consistently (because that's the best option for you! Try a mix of 3-6 drops in total in the diffuser in the bedroom, or apply a roller to the soles of feet (even better get someone to give you a foot massage 😉 ), back of neck, up the spine and pulse points and inhale from hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favourite sleepytime oil? or blend combo? Would love to hear!

Hi friends, if you are ready to uplevel your life

Hi friends, if you are ready to uplevel your life (literally) by adding in some natural solutions to support yourself, kids, loved ones etc then this IS the time to dive in.
.
When I got started on this journey a few years ago I wanted these oils to be that missing puzzle piece to my natural health toolkit but I didn’t have high expectations (seriously), but what followed has been a journey of learning, growth, supporting my kiddos in so many ways (all the hopes I had and more) - it was for them that I dived into the world of essential oils and they haven’t disappointed.
.
I think my bruise blend is the most use blend I’ve made ever (I have two boys so probably not surprising to you then 🤣), but the emotional support I’ve received personally was something unexpected.
.
Perking me up when I’m low on energy (like every mumma who’s has young kids needs this), calming me down in times of stress, general happy vibes (who doesn’t love a happy house?!) these oils cover everything you can think of.
.
This week we have daily individual deals going on (just DM me for more details and free education) but this amazing wellness box takes the cake and is literally amazing value.
.
Covering protection from seasonal and environmental threats, sleep support and big emotions, clear breathing, head tension, support happy hormones and skin, clean your home and more!
.
With 17 products (including a diffuser!) for only $NZ 297 this is epic value and you’ll get a free membership, goody bag from me, free bottle of carrier oil (as it’s the only thing really missing to get your started) and ALL the personal support you need for your journey.
.
Reach out so I can personally help you get started or click here www.findinghealth.co.nz/essential-oils/ to grab this deal and follow the instructions

Late night concoctions ended in this batch of beau

Late night concoctions ended in this batch of beautiful looking lip balms for my Xmas event today. I had been procrastinating for a while on these ones as they ‘seemed’ hard, but in reality it was sooo easy! The longest bit was waiting for them all to melt!
.
.
I did 7 times the recipe and it made 13 x 15gm pots. The original recipe I’ll post below which makes 2 pots of you are just making for yourself. These can be made in lip tubes or pots like I have. My first batch was peppermint, wild orange 🍊 and grapefruit. I’ll be doing another batch with marjoram and spearmint.
.
.
These quantities make 2 x 15g pots (just multiply for bigger batches
.
4g beeswax (I grated it first)
5g unrefined Shea butter
3g cacao butter
4g calendula infused olive oil (I just used pomace olive oil)
4g avocado oil
A few drops vitamin e oil
5 drops your choice essential oil
.
Weigh the beeswax, Shea butter, olive oil, 🥑 oil, vitamin e out into a heat resistant glass bowl, place in a pot of barely simmering water to melt all the oils. Take off the heat then add the essential oils and stir. Pour into lip balm tubes or pots and let you set (they are really quick to set)
