Essentially Balanced Life

A. DAY. IN. THE. LIFE
When I sat down to write this, I actually couldn’t believe how oils have just become part of what we do to support ourselves in this house.
It definitely wasn’t always like this.
I started with a Family Essentials kit and once I fell in love with these products I built my collection using the incredible generous programs and offers that doterra offers us.
Not only do I earn free products and points with our Loyalty Program but I always get on board our BOGO (buy one, get one free) offers to get some incredible oils into my hands for a great price.
If you are looking to support you and your family with some more natural options and need some help navigating the “how-to” then drop me a below and I’ll be here to help you all the way along your journey.

WARDROBE. CLEANOUT.
Usually I have nothing to wear, this time I have nowhere to go 😂
Seriously though, today I pulled out all my clothes and if I hadn’t worn them this year I tried them on.
If I didn’t love it, it didn’t make the cut and off it goes. It was such a great feeling to let go of some pieces I’ve been holding onto for year simply because they look lovely on the hanger.
I also didn’t quite realise I had so many jumpsuits 😜 so may have culled some of those too.
Seriously though, this weekend I am harnessing my luteal “get s**t done” energy to clear up and clean out before it’s time to rest up before it starts all over again.
Cyclical living is so empowering. I’m so grateful I have this knowledge and connection with my body.

AND. BREATHE.
I have always loved getting outside and connecting with nature but since we were in quarantine last week I am more and more appreciative of all the things you can receive from being outside.
✨The cool breeze on your cheek
✨The warmth of the sun on your back
✨The squelch of mud under your feet
✨The sounds of birds in the trees
I cannot wait to get outside again tomorrow 🌳. We have made sure it is a non-negotiable in our daily routine.
What’s your favourite thing about getting outside?

WHEN. HEAD. LICE. COME. KNOCKING.
🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Well today certainly did not go the way I had pictured.
Ms 8 started complaining of an itchy head this morning at the pet shop.
I had a quick look and sure enough - OH NO!
We headed straight home and I made up a mixture of coconut oil and olive oil (with a few drops of tea tree and lavender) and smothered our heads.
I popped to the shop to grab a lice comb and have to admit I was cursing myself for letting her “no thanks nits” detangler run out a few weeks ago 🤬
Any who…
Home I came and spent the majority of the day combing & wiping.
At the end of the day, I washed out the oil mixture with two shampoos, rinsed with an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse and braided her hair.
It was quite the day but it was also a great opportunity to spend some wonderful time as a (very oily) family.
We will repeat this every 2-3 days for the next fortnight make sure we get all those little bugs out of our house.
Anyone got any other top nit tips for us?

A. MOMENT. IN. TIME.
This little guy and I did not get the bedtime routine very right tonight.
After lots of tears, a bit of foot stomping and a whole lot of snot we eventually settled into some snuggles and he drifted off to sleep holding on to my hand.
As a mum I most certainly do not always get it right but we are learning together and at the end of the day he knows I’ll always be there for him.
Sending love to all the mamas out there trying their best each and every day.
I see you ❤️

TAKE. NOTICE.
I have been finding the world a little bit heavy these days and I have been trying really hard to take notice of the precious moments we still get each day.
✨the sound of children’s laughter
✨the feel of the sun, rain or breeze on my face
✨the stunning sunset
✨noticing the moon
Today I had to stop and take in this beautiful 🌈 for just a moment with my daughter.
I hope that you managed to find a moment of beauty today 💕

STOP. SUCKING. IT. IN.
And breathe.
I never realised how much energy and effort went into holding in my tummy every single day until I heard the incredible .rees tell us to stop and I DID!
I think I have been holding it in since I started calisthenics when I was 8 and that is almost 32 years ago.
Now I have to admit I have never loved my belly and although I grew two beautiful babes in there, I still look at it as a flaw.
Well, until now. I’m on a mission to and to
