February Goals

January literally came and went so fast. In the middle of the month, I hit a pretty bad slump that really made me re-evaluate the direction my life is heading. I love finding the silver lining in poopy situation. It made me re-evaluate if I still wanted to be a Massage Therapist, wanted to sell oils, wanted to continue living in Iowa, stuff along those lines. Serious life decisions were made in a two week slump because I chose to use what was a not-so-good situation for me and turn it into something positive. While I still have a bit to figure out, the ball is rolling and some decisions have been made on what I want to do. Declaring goals, however how small they may be, is something that will help me move in the right direction.

p e r s o n a l :

- Do more yoga

- Meditate more

- Read at least one book to help me grow spiritually


e s s e n t i a l  o i l s  +  m a s s a g e :

- Sell at least one kit

- Hit 1,000+ OGV to help me grow to Senior Star

- Love on my people and help educate them

- Get everything ready for a Sip and Sniff next month

- Look into room rent to start my business

- Get a firm business plan in place


b l o g :

- Post at least twice a week

- Rename?

- Redo entire theme

- Hit 100 views per day

- Grow my Bloglovin' following


For me, it's really important to declare goals. I love have something to work towards and having it written or typed out gets me all the more inspired to go out and actually get those goals crushed.


What goals do you have for the month? Season? Year? Let me know! I seriously love hearing what people are working towards!

Why I Got Started With Essential Oils

While I was still in Massage Therapy school, I was introduced to the wonderful world of essential oils and fell in love. I loved the idea of the natural health and wellness option that they offered and the freedom they gave me to get a better grasp of my own health and wellness. I went into essential oils knowing that I wanted to share these wonderful things with others so they could experience the same thing I was.

 

In February 2016, I got started on my own essential oil journey. I did tons and tons of research on which company that I wanted to go with because I wanted to make sure that the quality was the best it could be. If I'm making an investment in something I want to love and use for a long time, I want to make sure it's the best. I very literally spent months teetering between Young Living and DoTerra and ended up choosing Young Living.

I went on both websites to research the oils themselves and really loved Young Living's Seed to Seal process, which means they grow, distill, and bottle the oil themselves without using toxic additives and outside resources. If you compare them to lesser quality oils from other companies or grocery stores, you can tell that there is a difference in quality. If a farm crop didn't do well or they are low on resources, they would rather have an 'out of stock' product than to put an inferior one out.

I was oils in many different ways. I use them to help me sleep. They've helped transform my skin, hair, and nails. They help provide that overall wellness boost that I just didn't have before. I feel like I have more energy and am much more supported emotionally. The phrase "There's an oil for that" definitely stands to be true for me.

This company doesn't only offer essential oils; they offer natural supplements, cleaning supplies, and something that is important to my massage therapy practice, massage oils. They are constantly working on new products and making sure they have the best products possible. In being on this oily journey, I've learned more about toxic household chemicals and toxic things that we put in and on our bodies than I ever thought I would. As cliche as it sounds, my life has literally been changed forever.


I love these oils. I love the natural health alternative they offer. I love the way it makes me think about what I'm using in my home and products I use in and on my body. That mental challenge of constantly having awareness is something I'm thoroughly enjoying.
