A little about me up on the blog today in honor of making it a priority to start blogging again after a little hiatus. https://lovefiercelylivebravely.com/2019/02/23/a-little-about-me/ Or click link in profile ❣️ #hustlewithallyourheart #girlwashyourface #healthynurse #madeformore #naturalnurse #navygirlfriend #navylife #yogi #hotyoga #bikramyoga #bikram #bikramhotyoga #runnergirl #runnersofinstagram #twentysomethinglife
This morning I woke up on a rocky side of the bed. I was restless in my sleep last night and have been feeling a little more anxious than normal last night and this morning. So naturally, I’m grabbing my oils. In my diffuser I’ve got a “happy vibes” blend running. This consists of 3 drops of tangerine, 2 drops of lavender, 1 drop of spearmint, 1 drop of lime. This is a very light cheery diffuser blend. The citrus of tangerine and lime are very uplifting, as are all citrus oils. Lavender is soothing to this anxious girl’s heart and spearmint is awakening and has me dreaming of warm, summer days. Then I put 2 drops of balance on the bottom of my feet. Balance is a grounding blend. It’s sweet and woodsy and is my go to when I’m anxious. And lastly, I rolled some magnolia on my chest, back of my neck and wrists. This sweet floral oil calms my anxiety every time I use it. Within minutes of smelling this sweet gem my shoulders start to relax and my jaw releases. It’s truly amazing, and even after a year of using these oils daily I’m surprised at how powerful and fast aromatherapy can impact how I’m feeling. Want to learn more about essential oils and how to bring them into your home?? Message me or comment below and we can get you started!
Y’all, I’m gonna be real honest this morning. I have been struggling a lot with feeling good in my body. I spent 4 mos working my butt off, literally. Eating good, healthy, nutritious and delicious food. I worked out more consistently than I have since I quite high school sports. I was the lightest weight I’ve been since probably high school and I was in a smaller pant size. But most of all I FELT SO GOOD. Then, I went on vacation. I ate whatever I wanted for 2 weeks. Mind you, we were eating out as I was living that hotel life. And I was celebrating with my boyfriend. I came back to Ohio and felt like shit. I’d gained every pound back that I’d lost and I’d gained an inch around my waist. I felt bloated and nauseous. I had no energy. I genuinely felt like crap. But the biggest struggle has been my mind. I have been beating myself up so much for gaining those pounds and an inch back. Which is absolutely ridiculous, and I know it. But the mind is a dark and dangerous place sometimes. But today I had a victory moment and that’s what I want to share. I felt so strong after my workout. I felt empowered. I felt like I could conquer the world. And it’s truly a gift. Because the thing is, the number on the scale is just that - a number. The number on a tape measure is just that - a number. Is seeing those numbers drop rewarding? Absolutely. But what’s more important is how you feel! Do you feel strong? Do you feel confident? Do you have more energy? Are you sleeping better? Is your anxiety more under control? These are the reasons I make time to exercise. These are the reasons I choose to be aware of what I’m eating and how the food I choose nourishes my body. Here’s to the victory moments! Beautiful girl, you can do amazing things.
Some mornings you need those subtle reminders. You can do whatever you set your mind to, you can do absolutely amazing things. Straighten that crown, stand tall and conquer the day. You are more than capable. ❣️ #healthynurse #naturalnurse #madeformore #girlwashyourface #womeninspiringwomen #womenempoweringwomen #womanempowerment
It’s BOGO DAY 1!! We’re kicking off BOGO with Buy Petitgrain $25, get Lavender FREE!!!! This is a perfect emotional support duo! 💚Petitgrain Oil possesses an aroma that is sweet, yet tart with subtle floral and woody characteristics. It blends especially well with citrus, floral and wood oils (especially Cassia, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Geranium, and Lemongrass). 💚There are three essential oils derived from the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the tree, Neroli essential oil is distilled from the blossoms, and Bitter Orange oil is produced by cold pressing the rinds of the fruits. Petitgrain is widely used in the perfume industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, lotions, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous note that is popular among both women and men. 💚Petitgrain is uplifting, calming and balancing. This oil is extremely supportive of emotional discomfort. Like Lavender, Petitgrain Oil contains the calming ester linalyl acetate and the calming/anti-bacterial monoterpenol linaolol. 💚Before going to bed, add a few drops of Petitgrain along with Lavender or Bergamot to pillows and bedding for its aromatic benefits. Diffuse for a calming and relaxing aroma at night (it’s also been said to be a natural aphrodisiac if you’re wanting to get in the mood)! 💜Lavender: 💜One of my FAVORITE Essential oils ever! It’s so versatile and so effective for many many things! I probably go through this oil the most! 💜Today, lavender oil benefits for your body include the following: • Reducing anxious emotion and emotional stress • Improve brain function • Help to heal burns and wounds • Improve sleep • Restore skin complexion and natural skin disinfectant • Slow aging with powerful antioxidants • Relieve discomfort • Alleviate head discomfort 💜It is such a calming, relaxing, and beautiful aroma! I love diffusing 3 drops of this oil at night or putting a drop or two on my hands and onto my pillow! It’s also incredibly effective to use apply to wrists or neck for emotional support!! So add Petitgrain to your cart, get the amazing Lavender FREE 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Feeling a little extra grateful today so I rolled this little blend to embrace it even more. Roll on forearms and chest and breathe deep to enjoy the aroma. Fill an empty roller bottle with these oils and top with carrier oil: 8 drops bergamot 6 drops wild orange 4 drops geranium 4 drops Siberian fir
