Stress Away Saves the Day

Essential Oils

26 Feb

Photo Feb 06, 12 33 29 PM

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!!!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing
These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌

Last weekend we spontaneously took off and made way to Gettysburg, PA! Gus absolutely LOVES history and has been wanting to do this trip for a while. We knew we better fit it in before he’s too much older, and it was one of the only weekends we had open. 🤪 On the way, we stopped in Lexington, VA as well to visit some cemeteries he had researched. We saw the memorial for General Stonewall Jackson and also the museum and mausoleum at Washington and Lee University where General Robert E. Lee and family were laid to rest. 

Once we made it to Gettysburg we spent 1.5 days exploring the area. We spent most of our time at the National Military Battlefield and Museum. 

On the way home, we also stopped by Antietam Battlefield and Appomattox Court House National Historic Park. 

We basically hit the road with only the goals of making it to Lexington and Gettysburg. All the rest fell into place as we drove and researched. 😜😅 We found some AWESOME AirBnB’s doing it that way, though!!! Near Lexington, we found the coolest glamping/tent situation nestled on a 100acre organic farm and animal rescue. And while in Gettysburg, a barn apartment! Both were 5 ⭐️!!!

These boys placed 10th out of 81 boats last year!!
These boys placed 10th out of 81 boats last year!!! They also do not have a bass boat nor forward-facing sonar technology like a lot of them fish with, but they still pulled in fish and made it count! They practiced hard, researched, and learned how to lead in their own ways, with each other, in the boat.

We are entering the 2nd year that Providence Athletic Club (PAC) has had a fishing team, so it’s in its developmental years. PAC’s mission and purpose is to provide competitive level sports opportunities in the Columbia, SC area for home-educated athletes (grades 6-12), while developing both physically and spiritually in a Christian environment.

Each boat has to have a volunteer boat captain, who puts his/ her own time and money into boat insurance, fuel hauling the boat all over SC, and then also making sometimes 60 mile runs or more (round trip) in the boat once on the water. We would like to help raise some money to be able to pay these individuals back for their gas expense at least, so we are seeking sponsors for our anglers.

If anyone knows me, you know this is one of the things I hate to do the most- ask people for money. 😅 But I also know not everyone is like me and people love to help, as well. 💜

The anglers also wear jerseys with sponsor logos, who contribute $200 or more, but any amount will be greatly appreciated. The jersey design will be much different this year than the one pictured, giving the sponsors more real estate on the jersey. So, with all that said, if you would like to sponsor these two fine, young men, please let me know. PAC also is a non-profit organization, so it can be a tax write-off.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. 😁 #bassfishing #southcarolina #sponsors #homeschool @basscatboats 😁

🌻🍉 Summer Photo Dump 6 🍉🌻

Mid-July we got the family together out on the river! We got all set up on a sandbar for the day, to be able to just chill- have a picnic and let the littles play their hearts out. Well… that was our hopes at least. 🤦‍♀️🫠 About an hour later, ALLLLL the boats showed up (group of friends) and just beached it right where we were swimming with the kids. I will never understand this… I am just of the mindset if you missed out on the sandbar, you missed out. Not… “well, we’ll just squeeze right in here on top of y’all.” But whatever. 😵‍💫 AmIright? Is that not the unwritten, understood law of the river rats? 🤣

Beach days are the best days!!! We were able to make 2 different day trips to the coast this summer. 

1. We are thankful for sweet friends who allow us to crash their family camping vacation for a day! 🤣 

2. And we are thankful for another group who are willing to up and haul their families to the coast for a day, too! 🤗
