Let’s be real for a moment. Lately, my own wellness journey has faced some real hurdles. I’ve been challenged by high blood pressure and pre-diabetes, and honestly, it’s been a wake-up call. I knew I needed a change, but I also knew what I didn’t want. I did not want "the jab." I wasn’t looking for a synthetic quick fix or a trend that didn’t align with my lifestyle.
My goal was to find a doable, natural solution—something sustainable that would gently encourage my body to do what it needs to do naturally. I wanted to reclaim my health without compromising my standards. That is why I am putting my trust in the new Balance and Burn system.
I truly believe this system will meet me exactly where I am. I am stepping forward with hope for the benefits I plan to realize—finding that calm and clarity in my physical health—and I invite you to see if this resonates with you too. If you are looking for a way to support your metabolic health naturally, this might be your answer.
Want to dig deeper? I have all the info ready for you. Comment with the word “Balance” and I’ll send you the details on Balance & Burn and on new product news. Our favorite Candy Hearts is back with a fun waterless diffuser.
Cheers to US!
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to pause—not to rush into what’s next—but to acknowledge what was.
If you’ve felt my absence since mid-November, thank you for your grace. When my dad fell ill, life asked me to slow all the way down. Family, faith, and being present took priority, and this community held space for me in ways I won’t forget.
So before anything else: thank you.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for checking in.
Thank you for continuing to support my small business—even when I was quieter than usual.
That support matters more than you know.
A Look Back: What We Explored Together in 2025
This year, we didn’t just talk about oils—we talked about using what we have with intention.
Together, we focused on:
- Daily oil rituals instead of “saving bottles for later”
- Emotional support, stress care, and grounding practices
- Consistency over perfection
- Pairing oils with real life—busy schedules, heavy seasons, and the need for peace
- Supporting the body holistically: mind, mood, metabolism, and rest.
Some of you recommitted to your routines.
Some of you experimented and learned what your body loves (and what it doesn’t).
Some of you simply stayed curious—and that counts.
Progress isn’t loud. Sometimes it’s subtle, steady, and personal.
A Moment to Reflect (No Pressure, Just Awareness)
As we head into a new year, I invite you to reflect—no judgment, no hustle:
- Which oils did you reach for most this year?
- Where did you notice support—in your mood, energy, sleep, or routines?
- What worked well for you?
- What felt clunky or inconsistent?
- What would “better support” look like for your body in 2026?
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what’s aligned.
Deep Gratitude for This Community
Supporting this business is never just about products—it’s about trust.
When you shop through my links, ask questions, or share my page with a friend, you’re helping sustain something I genuinely believe in. You allow me to continue partnering with a company that prioritizes quality, research, and thoughtful formulation.
I don’t take that lightly.
And I’m truly grateful.
Looking Ahead: Something New Is Coming — January 10

Did Daylight Savings throw you off again?
You’re not imagining it — it can take up to two full weeks for your body’s natural rhythm to readjust when the clock changes. No wonder you’ve been feeling groggy, moody, or just “off.”
This season, instead of pushing through exhaustion, let’s help your body realign.
That’s why I created the 3-Day Better Rest Challenge — a simple, soothing reset to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up truly refreshed.
It’s your gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember what deep rest feels like again. 🌿
⸻
🌸 Why This Works
Your sleep rhythm depends on balance — light, hormones, and calm. When Daylight Savings shifts your schedule, that balance can slip.
These 3 nights combine aromatherapy, gentle habits, and mindful intention to reset your body’s natural rhythm.
You’ll need:
✨ A diffuser or roll-on
✨ A few minutes before bed
✨ Optional supports like Sleep Essence™ or NingXia Red® for deeper restoration
“You don’t have to overhaul your life — you just have to honor your rest.” — Cj
⸻
💜 Night 1 | Wind Down & Breathe
Ritual:
•Diffuse 2 drops Lavender + 2 drops Peace & Calming®
•Roll Valor® on shoulders or wrists
•Sip 2 oz NingXia Red® 1–2 hours before bed
•Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts
•Whisper: “I am safe. I am still. I am resting.”
🌙 Why it works: Lavender and Peace & Calming® help your body shift into “rest mode” by supporting your parasympathetic nervous system.
⸻
🌿 Night 2 | De-Stress & Release
Ritual:
•Apply Stress Away™ to wrists and heart
•Diffuse Lavender + Cedarwood
•Journal one thought you’re ready to release
•Whisper: “I release what no longer serves me.”
🌙 Why it works: Cedarwood’s natural compounds help your brain produce melatonin — ideal when time changes or stress messes with your sleep cycles.
⸻
🌕 Night 3 | Renew & Rise Rested
Ritual:
•Take Sleep Essence™ 30 minutes before bed*
•Diffuse your favorite relaxing combo
•Lower your room temp to 65–68°F
•Upon waking, drink 2 oz NingXia Red® and step into natural light
🌙 Why it works: Sleep Essence™ supports the falling and staying asleep phases, while NingXia Red® nourishes your cells for smoother energy through the day.
⸻
🌸 Keep the Rhythm Going
Three nights can make a real difference — but consistency is what transforms your rest long-term.
Repeat this reset anytime you feel off, after travel, or when your schedule changes.
Better yet, join our 14-Day Rest & Renew Reset for guided routines, accountability, and community support (because accountability can be fun 💕).
