Last week I introduced my “New Year, New You” series of articles, and talked about the challenges of keeping my weight where I like it.

04-

 (This week, I talked about some tips for getting started with running – even when you don’t like it! Don’t miss it – and the great reader ideas in the comments!)

In the last few months, I’ve found that essential oils have helped me keep my appetite under control and balance my energy better.

{And last week’s giveaway was so popular I’m doing it again!! Woo-hoo!}

This week’s essential oil recipe

This week I’ve been experimenting with some essential oils “recipes” in my little desktop diffuser to find what I like best. I found a combination I liked that is supposed to help with seasonal wellness – both physical and mental. I’ve kept it happily diffusing on my desk the last few days and I’ve noticed better mental clarity and ability to focus … but of course your results will vary!

Here’s my “winter wellness” recipe:

3 drops lemon essential oil

3 drops peppermint essential oil

2 drops lavender essential oil

* * * * *

 Today I’m giving one lucky reader a hand-picked pack of “New Year, New You” oils to kick-start the best you!

I’ll show you what’s in the prize pack (a $55 value), some highlights from this week, space for you to add YOUR great ideas … and show you how you can enter to win:

Essential oils are super pure and super concentrated. They’re “essential” because they contain the “essence” of the plants from which they’re made — making them valuable aids in keeping our bodies, minds and spirits healthy.

I’m just scratching the surface with my essential oils exploration, but I wanted to share with you — and give away to one lucky winner — two of my favorites, Slique Essence and Grapefruit.

 

Slique Essence blends grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend to support healthy weight management goals. I put 4-6 drops in a 16-oz water bottle a couple of times a day — easy! I feel fewer cravings, more energy and overall more balanced.

 

I love the fresh, citrusy aroma of Grapefruit! You can add it to water, of course, but I like to diffuse it a few times a day into the air. You can use an essential oil diffuser or just add a few drops to a small pot of simmering water on the stove. (Keep an eye on it!)

I love essential oils, and I love using them in my home!

There are lots of places you can buy essential oils, but I really love how a local company, Young Living Essential Oils, is a trusted source and a pioneer in bringing the use of therapeutic oils to the United States.

Here’s a special deal for January to help YOU start the new year with a new you!

    My wife has been saying we should give essential oils a try with the kids, and I have been skeptical to be honest.

    After reading this, and seeing all the comments, I think she has a point.

    Thanks for enlightening me!

  7. Richard says

    Hey guys, all these details are so great, i will follow your tips to make life more beautiful with handmade gift and good dishes…..Anyway, thanks for sharing your ideas 🙂

  13. Kelly says

    I want an essential oil diffuser that is easy to use and clean. Not noisy. I want to be able to really smell the oils and get benefit from it but I don’t need it to be overpowering either as I may not use it then. I get migraines so sometimes smells are hard to take. I don’t want to spend a lot of money either. I’m thrifty. Could you guys suggest the top choice matching what I’m looking for?

  15. Catherine says

    “Hi,
    Thank you for your post! I so love your blend, it contains two most favorite flavor of mine, peppermint and lavender. Wow, I feel this mix is for me, I can’t wait to try it myself. But I’d love to make a quite big amount to use it many times, not only one. And I also know that the proportation will be a liitle bit different. Can you help me please? Thanks very much!”

  19. Joe says

    Would I add the essential oils to the balls once they’re made or part way through? Also, I don’t have pantyhose. What could I use instead?

  20. Mark.D says

    I LOVE essential oils for healthcare! In fact,I stayed home sick from work today and I made me a capsule with a couple of oils in it and his nausea/vomiting ceased very quickly. I also went to the doctor this morning for a follow up on labs and am now able to stop taking my cholesterol medication thanks to the essential oil regimen I have been on. I personally use peppermint essential oils and love them due to the high quality and their potent special blends. Thank you so much for covering this topic! I love when people find out that there is an alternative to tradition medicine.

    I haven’t tried using oils yet but I have finally decided to try, now to figure out what I want to try oils for….hmm?!?!

  32. staci torgerson says

    We diffuse RC nightly. With a hubby that’s allergic to our 2 cats, 1 of which insists on sleeping right beside hime for the past 14 yrs this has been a god-send. I used to wake him because of the wheezing but now RC has reduced all the allergies. He sleeps better than anyone now.

  34. Toni says

    I love essential oils. I always use them on my bed linens. I also put a few drops on my vacuum brush so that the scent goes into the carpet.

  36. Laura says

    I use essential oils everyday! I make hand lotions and salves using EOs for topical & fragrance purposes. I make them for everyone at work and they love them. They’re great for room refreshers too.

  45. Taryn T. says

    Lavender is my favorite essential oil. We diffuse it, and also put it on the children’s feet to help them sleep at night!

  49. eva scott says

    I haven’t used oils yet but have so many friends that do. Would love to give them a try sometime soon!

  51. Michele Timms says

    I’ve used peppermint for headaches. i’d be interested in trying some other essential oils… Maybe something to help with the hot flashes.

  53. Christy Spurlock says

    I’m new to essential oils so I’m excited to learn more about the health benefits.

  55. Eliza L says

    I have never used Essential Oils, and that’s why I’m so excited to try! I did have a neighbor who used chamomile (I think?) on her baby’s feet to calm her down when someone else babysat her.

  60. Traci R. says

    I’ve used lavendar in teas to help with migraines and it’s wonderful! Thanks for offering such a generous giveaway!

  61. Anel says

    My favorite way to use essential oils is buy adding a few drops to my wool dryer balls! Everything comes out smelling so good! I need to diversify my collection so I can try new scents! Thanks!

  69. Madelyn Barnes says

    I’ve been meaning to try out essential oils! I’m trying to find holistic approaches to health, so this would be a great jump start! Thanks!

    Madelyn

  70. mackenzie welker says

    i’ve never used essential oils but i have heard wonderful things about them and would like to give it a try!

  71. Lisa J says

    Thanks for the great giveaway! I like to use my Lemon oil in a hot tea. Tastes like warm lemonade. Good to help curb appetite. Also, good if you have a sore throat. Add raw honey for extra health benefits.

  74. Jennifer says

    Used some oils years ago, not sure why or how I got away from them?! Would love to start up again! Happy New Year!

  85. Ginger says

    I have never tried the oils, but have been hearing a lot about them lately and would love to try them out!

  86. Lindsay says

    I just used the peppermint essential for the first time. I made candy cane sugar scrub. It’s amazing my hands have never been so soft and the peppermint smell is AMAZING!!!!

  89. Lorrie Rodgers (pinklady705) says

    I just recently got some jojoba oil and decided to make a few roller bottles of jojoba and essential oils. it is so much easier to apply thieves to my spine and bottom of my feet to help protect me during the cold and flu season.

  91. Velma says

    I’ve only ever used lavender oil for sugar scrubs and to help me sleep. I’d love to win and use the oils offered.

  94. Sara R says

    I do use essential oils but I am still a newbie! My only tip is that if you want to try oils, or have even an inkling about them….DO IT, you’ll be addicted in no time! (:

  97. Diane says

    It would be fun to win something for the start of the new year. Thank you for hosting the give away.

  98. Kali hart says

    Try Frankincense on the bottom of your feet in the morning for a cleansing boost to your day.
