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!!!

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
