It’s our first week of Spring!
We’re gaining daylight, my horses are starting to shed their winter coats and so are the dogs. Some days are warm, others, not so much. Here in South Dakota, morning can feel like a beautiful Spring day and we can get a full blizzard by 4pm. But still, birds are chirping and on some days it does mostly feel like Spring!
I have a few tips for you for thriving through pollen season….if it isn’t 100% here yet, it will be soon! One of my favorite parts of Spring is when the Lilacs bloom, how about you?
Spring Pollen Roller for adults
10 drops each of Lemon, Lavender & Peppermint
Spring Pollen Roller for kids
7 drops each of Lemon & Lavender, 3 drops Peppermint
You can also add Copaiba to these rollers to make them even better!
Add these oils to a 10ml roller bottle and top with your favorite carrier oil. I love Young Living’s V-6 oil. Roll behind ears and down the side of your neck or on the spine and also on your feet. If you are going to be in the sun, be sure to roll these oils out of sight of the sun as Lemon can cause skin sensitivity in the sun.
Spring Diffuser Blends!
Add any combination of Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint & R.C., Eucalyptus and Thieves
Do you need a new super cute diffuser? Try this one! I've included the shopping link and BONUS, it’s on sale with the oils of Lime, Peace & Calming, Peppermint, Stress Away and Lemon Myrtle until March 23 at 11:59pm MT.
Spring Capsules
3 drops each of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint and Copaiba vitality oils in an empty veggie capsules and top it with olive oil.
If you don’t have the empty veggie capsules, grab some local honey (super important that it is local) and add a drop of Lemon, Lavender & Peppermint Vitality in a spoonful of honey.
Other tips...
Support your digestive system with Life 9 probiotics or MightyPro for kids.
You can also use digestive enzymes as well, try Allerzyme! Supporting your digestive system is super important!
Quick note... not all essential oils are created equal. We only use the best and most pure. Not sure where to start? I would love for you to join my AWAKEN'd tribe and when you do I will send you a gift, plus guide you along the way.
Thank you for checking in today! I appreciate you.

It's everywhere! I see people sharing on social media that they caught a "bug" and they just don't feel good. If this is you, I pray you feel better soon! If you are feeling under the weather, here are some steps you can take to ease the discomfort.
1. Take a bath. Add a cup of epsom salts or dead sea salts (or both, that's what we do) and soak for at least 20-30 minutes. This can help pull out the toxins and ease some aches. You can also add some essential oils to your bath such as the Young Living blend, Pan Away, but also peppermint, lavender, Stress Away, Peace & Calming, Copaiba, and Eucalyptus Radiata. How much depends on you and what you're used to. Start low and go slow if you haven't used them before.
2. Stay hydrated. Drink at least half of your weight in ounces of water. I like to add electrolytes on occasion to help keep my body balanced. The YL Vitality Drops taste so good! It makes drinking plenty of water so easy.
3. Get plenty of rest! It's a must to help your body recover.
4. Stay away from sugary foods and drinks. Viruses love a good sugar party.
Scratchy throats seem to go along with what is going around.
I love this throat spray:
In a 1 oz bottle I mix 1/2 oz vodka, 1/2 oz distilled water, and the following Young Living oils:10 drops Thieves essential oil blend, 5 drops Lemon, 3 drops Peppermint. Once mixed, shake it up and spray in your mouth, aiming at the back of your throat. I kid you not, it works! I've also used it before dental visits to ease my mouth before they go poking around. I keep this spray in our fridge and it's lasted us over year. Just a squirt or 2 does wonders! Gargling the Young Living Thieves mouth wash can also help.
I have one more recipe to share with you. To help keep us above the wellness line, we use a roller blend that is easy to mix up at home. It's called a wellness bomb! In a 10 ml roller bottle add the following oils:
- 8 drops Thieves essential oil
- 8 drops Lemon essential oil
- 6 drops Oregano essential oil
- 4 drops Frankincense essential oil
- 4 drops Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil
- Top it off with Young Living's V-6 oil and place the roller on the bottle.
We apply this roller blend to our feet. We have nerve endings in our feet (vitaflex points) that lead to the rest of our body, plus the skin on our feet is tougher and a great place to apply oils. For littles, if they aren't used to oils, you can apply more V-6 to the application site to slow absorption. Apply as needed.
Do you need to order some product? Here is my link: https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/referral/1350763 I am here and ready to help you on your wellness journey. I share Young Living because I trust this company. They are the only essential oil company with the Seed to Seal promise. I love the heart of this company and what they stand for.
Their purpose is:

I love that!
With love,
