Why Aromatherapy Certifications Matter…or not

About Me, Essential Oils / about me, aromatherapy, essential oils / 5 minutes of reading

I’ve been on the oil train for 5 years this January- whoa where does the time go? It’s been a journey. I’ve been very passionate about education around the oils, especially because there is so much information out there. My bread and butter were these live classes I used to do in my home in California. These classes filled my cup so much, 1- they were in person and my tiny little 900 sq ft home was FILLED with women. Each week we met for a 1 hour oil class and when we moved to Germany in 2019, I was SO sad to say …

Dear Evelyn, I always wanted to be that mom that documented major milestones of your life. I even have a baby book- that is barely filled out. But time and excuses got in the way of me completing any of those things- so instead I’ll try this letter to you instead. At 5:39am PST you will turn 3. I still remember your birth. I remember feeling very empowered pushing you out of my body. I remember how warm you felt when you held you for the first time, and about how your squishy body seemed to mold itself to me …

Manifesto

It’s about time for me to walk you through my manifesto- if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you see glimpses and pieces into my world- but what truly goes through my head? Where is my heart? What am I rooted in? My first thought upon waking: How did I wind up with a kid who hates sleep? I didn’t think it was possible to be so exhausted 2.5 years later. #teamnosleep power right here. After peeling myself out of bed- It’s coffee, today I will drink my coffee warm. With my toddler running around trying to …

Self Limiting Beliefs

Mindset is everything. You’ve probably heard of that before. What you think, speak, and believe is what turns into truth. If you’re a negative person, you’ll always see the glass as half empty. If you’re a positive person, you’ll see a greater reason for every moment in life. But this isn’t about that. I’m going to share with you how I am working on overcoming my self-limiting beliefs in the hope that it inspires truth and acceptance in yourself to where you can start taking small steps to change the way you think. I used to think of myself …

Becoming a Family

About Me / about me, air force, becoming a family, military kid, military life, postpartum depression, postpartum support, reintegration, vacations / 3 minutes of reading

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have a huge travel bug. I’ve been all over the US, and traveled internationally 3 times and been to 5 European Countries. Each vacation has something special and a special memory attached.Some good memories: like my first solo vacation without a friend or relative.Some, not so good: Like the time I locked my friend’s brother into their Paris Apartment by accident- the day we left the city. I’ve never seen someone so mad before. But by far, my favorite vacation was the vacation we took following my husband’s fourth deployment. You see, …

Hey guys! I’m Lauren. Since you stumbled upon my little blogging space I figured an introduction would be nice! I’m the wife to an active duty Air Force member, mom to a 2 year old daughter this april, and puppy mama to two small breed rescues. I was born and raised on the east coast and I miss it every single day. You never realize how much you take for granted the area you live in, until you’re in a completely different cultural environment. We’ve lived in NorCal (not to be confused with beautiful beaches and sunny CA) for 5 …
