Stress Away Saves the Day

Essential Oils

26 Feb

If you’ve found your way to this post, I’m either assuming you followed the link here from my Facebook post, or you are researching ways in which the essential oil Stress Away has helped people. Either way… WELCOME! 😀

I’ve decided to blog my experiences with essential oils because I’m slowly becoming a believer in them. I hate that it has taken me this long to better my family through the use of them, but the fact is simply that #momlife puts me on the struggle bus more often than not– seriously, where does the time in a day go??? I’m also resorting to blogging about my experiences for the fact that I don’t want to clog my friends’ Facebook newsfeeds too bad with too many things oily. I’ve already heard that I’m “becoming crunchier by the day” LOL!!! Soooo… I don’t want to run people off with that. I look to social media as a refreshing, fun, party-like outlet, and well… I assume others think like I do too, maybe. So yeah, I’m meeting up with y’all– my select favorite friends over here, on the blog, for the after party! HAHAHA

Let’s get back to our beloved Stress Away though. How did I even learn about it? My journey with Stress Away began in December 2016 after I began experiencing what was deemed as anxiety attacks after a very thorough series of tests on my heart. I was experiencing serious heart palpitations (days in a row) and chest tightness which landed me at the cardiologist. SUCH A SCARY EXPERIENCE!!! Naturally, when the doc told me the results from all tests looked absolutely fine and that I may just need to calm down a bit (I honestly didn’t even know I was stressing out about things), I decided right then that I needed to figure out how to nip this in the bud as opposed to living life as an anxious mess. Because we all know that can lead to other serious health issues. So… low and behold, about the same time frame, I was introduced to Young Living (YL) by one of my cousins during the Christmas holidays. And within the YL premium starter kit comes an oil named STRESS AWAY. Well hello there you sweet oil that might help me calm myself down from time to time! And IT DOES. I am now at the point that I can feel these little attacks coming on, and I know I best be finding my bottle of Stress Away (and proceed to lather myself in it. lol), a quiet room, a notebook, and a pen and just commence to writing down every overwhelming thought running through my mind. It’s amazing what is running through my mind all at one time! And so there you have it, the oil that has literally aided me in CALMING DOWN. That sounds so. strange, I know. My husband says that it’s all in my head– he has such a way with words! lol Well I say… maybe it is, but IT HELPS. I mean… there really is such a thing as aromatherapy, and I am now 100% a believer!!! BUTTTTTT. Uh oh… there it is. BUT– I DO believe there is a level of educating yourself that should come with it!

I admit, I am a skeptic of SO many things, and yes, essential oils were one of them. I even tried them 2 years ago, but simply put, it just wasn’t my time with them. And I did not educate myself about them nor did I use them as consistently as I should have to reap the benefits. So… I am making it my mission to share this journey with you. But I don’t want to junk up anybody’s newsfeed too bad, so I’ve created a special place for this journey. I would love for you to be a part of it and us learn together, share together, grow together, ALL OF THE TOGETHERNESS!  Because I need to hear real life stories from people I KNOW, and people who are genuinely interested! … and that’s what I envision for this little group. There are SAFE ways to use oils and that’s what I’m immersing myself into at this moment in time, and I want you to reap the benefits as well!

I look forward to partying with you, my select oily friends!!! See you all there as we all blossom in this journey together!  CLICK HERE

And if you would rather not party with us, but would like to simply try the oils out for yourself and THEN join us, you can access the premium starter kit here (hey, HEY! It comes with a diffuser!): CLICK HERE

Have so much oily fun!!!

Anytime we vacation, you can bet fishing and/or hunting will always be interspersed. 🤪 So, it’s a good thing I enjoy just being outdoors, walking creek and river banks, and taking pictures. But there *was* one said adventure where I thought for sure I was going to end up nose-to-nose with a grizzly, mountain lion, or moose. 😅 And it was cold and raining. lol 🫠 But we made the most of it! 

We also spent some time playing on one of the nearby lakes. We all even braved the cold water! 🥶🤣

We checked out one of the waterfowl viewing areas and grabbed pizza at our favorite little roadside restaurant where the kiddos love to play pool and Pac-Man. 🤣

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.
