Find me here on Saturday!

Dropp’ this here. . And yeah I’m cool with being that modern-day hippie girl. #consciousliving #intentionalliving #lovefortheearth #naturelover

If you’re local to the Durham Region, join me with @mamas.making.malas as we create our own diffuser bracelets and take home some oil samples to go with them! These make great gifts for teachers, coaches, and loved ones, or go ahead and keep it for yourself!

After a series of unfortunate events in the fall, I found myself stuck in a very negative mindset. When multiple things go wrong in a short period of time, it’s easy to think the universe is against us. But thankfully my wonderful hubby and I had a tough but much needed conversation at the end of the year that put things in better perspective. I still struggle, but when I find myself seeing only darkness, I am remembering to actively look for the light. There really is so much to be grateful for, and simply by shifting my thoughts in that direction, it can change the tone of my whole day.

June promos are amazing! Orange+ and branded mason jars at 125pv on ER!! So good.

I’ve been making my own face serum/moisturizer for over a year now, and it’s been more effective than the expensive creams I used to order, but at a fraction of the cost! I just mix my chosen essential oils in a pump bottle with organic jojoba oil and use it in the morning and at night. I started using just frankincense, lavender and copaiba in mine (all from the starter kit) and added some others as my collection grew.

What are you drinking for breakfast? (Tropical green smoothie recipe to follow) ~ I’d gotten out of the habit of making my smoothies in the morning. Sometimes I’d throw some protein powder in my coconut based yogurt but adding a handful of spinach wasn’t so appealing that way ~... All measurements are a guess. Usually makes 2 mason jars for me, plus a half sippy cup for my son. That I also end up drinking ~ RECIPE 2 cups water 1 heaping scoop Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder 1 cucumber couple handfuls organic spinach 1/2 avocado (other half on gf toast!) 1/2 cup frozen mango 1/2 cup frozen pineapple banana (optional) 1-2 drops Spearmint+ YLEO + random amounts of any or all of the following: chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp hearts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Blend and serve Let me know if you have a recipe I should try!

There are pros and cons to working from home. I mean, the commute can’t be beat ;) But it also means that we either have to keep the house clean and tidy, or we do a mad dash in the couple hours before my appointments to try to get everything put away and surface areas clean. ~ Plus we are always thinking about what we are cooking. I used to try to avoid fish or broccoli the night before a session, or eggs the morning of, because it’s so hard to rid the house of the smell. An...d if my son happened to poop just before a client was due to arrive yikes. ~ When I saw my cousin’s wife (a nurse who works with cancer patients and their families) talking about essential oils back in 2017, I finally decided to take the leap. I mean, it had literally been YEARS since I first heard about these oils, but I was a skeptic, big time. ~ I figured even if ALL they did was make my house smell nice, I’d get my moneys worth. They did so much more than that, but let me tell you about my #gatewayoil. The one I diffused daily, sniffed straight from the bottle, and covered everything in my house in! ~ Hello Purification. ~ It’s refreshing scent lifts me up, and this blend is ahhhmazing at clearing odours from the air. I love combining it with lemon too (also in the starter kit). I love to say that this combo makes my house smell clean, even when it’s not But the truth is, our air is cleaner because of it. I also made a Pure-Breeze spray for the furniture, and put drops on my wool dryer balls. ~ I bet you want to smell it now good news! I am hosting a casual open house this Sunday from 2-4pm. You can try products, ask questions, and even make a rollerball to take home if you wish. If you decide to order a Starter Kit, you’ll get another gem for free this month - Stress Away. I posted about that beauty recently too, have a scroll back to see. Plus a 24% discount for life, and access to our positive and inspirational Pure Culture community, literally my favourite place on the internet. ~DM me for deets on the open house, or just swing by if you already know where I am ~ If you can’t make it on Sunday, pm me, we’ll set up a coffee date!
