Choosing the Good Life Through Self Care, Health, and Happiness
Happy Friday! Congrats on making it through the first week of the new school year. Since I don’t have a school-age baby quite yet, I love seeing all of the photos on social media. It’s definitely a reminder of how fast they really do grow up. I hope you have some down time this weekend […] Read more…
I have never been a meal skipper. I eat about fourteen times each day.

It’s no secret that doTERRA essential oils are a staple in our household. You can read here about my journey in getting started with oils and why we chose this particular brand. My goal with sharing the oils is not to build a business, but to help others who are interested in using or learning […] Read more…
