Clearing my mind...

I mentioned before that I've been overwhelmed with emotions lately. Since I'm on day 1 of my 6 day vacation, I really want to focus on clearing my mind and fully relaxing. There are many things that run through my head or keep me up at night lately. I'm allowing myself 6 days to free my mind and really allow myself the vacation I deserve.

Another thing I've mentioned recently was that I started using essential oils. When I first heard of essential oils through bloggers who sell them, my mind instantly went to those body wraps that everyone was trying and selling. I wanted to try oils, but I really wasn't sure if they would actually work and I wasn't going to pay $30-$50 for a small bottle of a blend just because everyone swears by the company. 

I began searching Pinterest for essential oil benefits. It can be frustrating because many oils recommended are the blends or the oil from those pricy companies. I started taking notes on pure oils and their benefits. Then I decided to start looking into buying those oils at a much more affordable cost. 

*At this point, I will note that this isn't a sponsored post. I wish it was, but I've paid full price for all of my oils.

I found a site called PipingRock and their oils are very affordable. I'm still trying them out and finding out which ones I like best. These are some of my favorites.



However, I have a good amount of oils and even have an order on the way..



I also recently found a shop called TheChilledPenguin and they have some blends, I placed an order and received it days later! My favorite part is that the blends come in a roller bottle and are extremely affordable. 





Although I'm not someone who thinks that essential oils can cure everything, I am a firm believer in them. They've helped when when I had a headache, anxiety, stress, no energy, or can't sleep. So I've using them to help keep me calm and happy while I enjoy my vacation.

Feel free to check out my essential oil Pinterest board I started for more info and tips.

Do you use essential oils? Do they help you? Please, feel free to give me any more suggestions or recommendations!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
