Gardening with Essential Oils

I have recently gotten into essential oils. It is also spring so I am also getting into gardening.  Only it takes some time for me to work jeff into things. So I bought a jalapeño plant as our first "mini-garden" plant. Wouldn't you know it after two days little critter appeared on it. So today is day one of my oil journey and gardening combo.

This is what it looks like this morning...

I will do an update in 5 days to see if there is a change, hopefully my concoction worked!

Sick Day

Nothing like a sick day. MecKenzie is pretty sick, Jenelle and I are both on the verge of a cold but not as bad as MecKenzie. It's so heart breaking too, whenever she wakes up from naptime she calls my name in the saddest voice. I basically melt into a puddle.

I am more for clean living than heavy medicine. So when our family comes down with a cold there are some precautions we all take. Echinacea and Colloidal Silver are my personal favorites. I have recently dabbled in essential oils. I have had some success with them.

Tea tree oil has several uses but I used it to assist a yeast destroyer. What would have taken 3 weeks or more only took a week and a half. MecKenzie really loves essential oils. Tonight I gave her a bath with 3 drops of lavender to help her relax for bed. I don't think they are a cure all but I do think they are an added boost. Plus they smell nice.
