Allergy Season

Well it is officially allergy season for me. One day I was fine and the next I woke up with a sore throat, a runny nose, an achy body, and a headache. I was told to try Peppermint oil and Lemon oil to get rid of my allergies. I put three drops of Peppermint and three drops of Lemon oil on my hands and rub them together. Then I put the oil on my feet, right at the base of my toes. I rub it in and then hold my hands there for about thirty seconds to make sure all the oil is absorbed. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to see a difference. However, after that amount of time I do see results. When my head gets really bad I put Peppermint on the temples of my face and the base of my neck. It is amazing how quickly my headache will subside. I carry peppermint with me everywhere. I cannot count how many times I have used it for spontaneous headaches. It is a great oil! Good luck with your allergies!

Benefits of Grapefruit

Did you know that grapefruit oil can help you lose weight?!

Benefits of Grapefruit oil:


  • decreases appetite
  • speeds up metabolism
  • tones the skin
  • increases optimism
  • increases energy
  • increases motivation
  • reduces cellulite
  • improves mood


Since summer is around the corner this is a good oil to have on hand. I rub grapefruit oil on my hands with a tablespoon of coconut oil. I rub my hands together and put it anywhere on my body where I could use toning. I love this oil! 

I also add several drops to my water bottle. It gives me all the benefits as well as a nice refreshing flavor.
