Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I shared how I’m doing in stories today, we made it through the holidays but it was a lot harder than I thought. I’m sruggling in a few ways. Struggling on social media with the comparison game, struggling in general as a stay at home mom of two, struggling with a fussy two month old that doesn’t sleep, struggling that I’m unable to do things for me right now (like even go to the bathroom or shower alone), struggling with the omnipresent grief and anxiety, struggling with guilt — guilt over not giving my oldest enough attention, over wanting him to start back at school again, over not being happy and grateful 24/7.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If I learned anything last year it was to accept my feelings as they come and not label any as “bad,” so that’s what I’m working on, that’s my daily reminder. As my friend said to me today, this is hard, it’s the trenches!! Be gentle. It’s hard and wonderful all at once.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Check in below👇⁣⁣⠀
❤️ - I’m feeling great⁣⁣⠀
🧡 - I’m feeling ok⁣⁣⠀
💛 - I’m surviving⁣⁣⠀
💚 - I’m struggling⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s show up and support each other and remind each other we’re not alone in these hard days🖤
Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. M Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. Mixed feelings about a new year is not foreign to me, this is how I felt last year going into 2020. 2019 was Liam’s year, it was the worst but it gave me a perspective I’ll never lose and one I carried into 2020.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Through hardship you grow.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
2020 saw more focus on me, on my mental wellness + on my family. Less worrying about what people think of me, less apologizing, more doing what makes me happy (or gets me through the day). More of that in this space also. I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea so might as well be me, ALL of me💯✌️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I’m not a resolution or goal setter when it comes to a new year, I try to focus on reflecting, releasing what doesn’t serve me any longer + manifesting/using affirmations to bring the good. Still working on what those are exactly for 2021!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
In the meantime I wanted to share some of my big 2020 memories and wish you all love, light, peace and healing in the new year✨⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
1-2. Our new family unit🧡⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
3-4. The birth of our daughter, Elora, the best thing to come out of 2020. She is the brightest light.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
5. Luca’s love for his sister + once again navigating a “new normal” in our family.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
6. Pregnancy after loss. Amidst a global pandemic. While wrangling a toddler. One of the hardest things I’ve ever done, it was pure survival mode (+ still is postpartum).⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
7. Growing the most beautiful dahlias and diving more into gardening than ever before, mostly as a form of therapy, AND sharing it all with you guys — connecting through our gardens was one of my favorite parts of the year + growing this community has brought me so much joy!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
8. Finding my groove and launching my oils business — never thought I would make more than my blogging income + be able to pay off debt😭⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
9. Luca turning 2 and weaning + potty training at the same time — his decisions, not mine!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
10. Liam’s due date in April. I remember wishing more than anything for the chance to deliver him healthy and full term, pandemic and all. We miss our boy + are moving forward WITH him, we’ll love him forever from afar❤️
Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and awesome❤️ exactly how I want to remember this day. We’re sending you big love this Christmas, complete with our best “ewie smiles” (Luca’s term for silly faces🤣). I love how Doobie snuck his nose in there too!! Swipe for some special moments/things of the day❤️❤️
⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀ ⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You have been here in our arms for almost two whole months and my heart still skips a beat when I wake up and see you next to me. You are truly here. I still can’t believe you’re real and you’re ours.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
At 8 weeks you’re not such a tiny babe anymore, you’ve doubled your birth weight and grew four inches — a testament to how much you love to eat😅🍼 (pic four is day 3 for reference!). Your chubby cheeks are also a testament to your love of milk😍😍 The super sleepy newborn days are over😭 You’re waking up more and more, crying more too (see pic three🤪), but still giving us good stretches of sleep (4-5 hours) at night. You don’t love cuddling with me as much as your brother did, I’m still in denial over that! And you’ve broken out of the swaddle, sleep sackin it up already! Luca loves you more than anything and is always wanting to hold you and help me clean your “spiggups,” he calls you “mista baby” and it killssss your dad and I every time🤣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I feel like you just arrived but also like I’ve known you forever. Happy 8 weeks of life Elora, you are so loved💗⁣⁣⠀

Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard wh Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard when you’re struggling.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Gratitude, when forced, feels like shame. As the wise @sitwithwhit said the other day, it’s  the new toxic positivity — if we’re going to feel sad, then we better be grateful too.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The pressure on the bereaved to feel and express gratitude in their grief is REAL.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here is my reminder — It’s ok to *not* balance out your pain with gratitude. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
To me, when gratitude is forced I feel inauthentic and ashamed. When everyone is talking about gratitude journals and how to “focus on the good,” I feel left out.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s normalize expressing pain and grief without following it up with “BUT... gratitude.” It’s like saying that makes our pain seem more bearable from the outside. I get it. Grief is uncomfortable. Pain is ugly. It’s easier to look away. It’s easier to engage if the griever ends their thought on a positive, that’s the pressure. But what if I don’t feel positives in my pain?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If gratitude helps you to process your grief, that is really great. Everyone grieves differently. I spoke about this in stories today and 100s of you wrote in saying you felt heard. I’m happy it resonated, I’m always nervous to express these opinions but there are ALWAYS people out there who relate and need to hear it. You are my people❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here are your reminders if you’re grieving or struggling this holiday season, or just reflecting on a hard year:⁣⁣⠀
❤️Be gentle with yourself, your feelings are valid.⁣⁣⠀
❤️You don’t owe anything to anyone, especially in your grief.⁣⁣⠀
❤️It’s ok to feel shitty, period. No ifs, ands, buts or justifications necessary.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Love you guys🤟🤟🤟⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀
Also shared some tips I wish I knew the first time around like to not feel ashamed to ask for help or guilty for taking care of myself. That’s my biggest tip —⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I can’t stress this enough. It’s the norm in our society to focus more on the baby than the mom but during the fourth trimester she needs care and attention now more than ever. You can’t take care of your baby without taking care of yourself first❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Some other postpartum tips:⁣⁣⠀
🌿take all the pictures and take pictures with you in them, they will be absolute treasures to look back on, especially the ones where you look like crap (I promise you don’t actually look like crap, it’s real life though, which are the best to look back on)⁣⁣⠀
🌿you may not know what you’re doing but listen to your instincts, the mama instinct is strong and it’s REAL⁣⁣⠀
🌿take home all the things from the hospital (pads, disposable undies, abdominal binder, all of it)🙌⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If you are postpartum after loss you’re still postpartum but it’s even harder without your baby. Cabbage leaves, peppermint essential oil and a tight sports bra to help get rid of your milk supply. Find a grief counselor and a support group, validation and acknowledgement is everything. I’ve been there and it’s the literal worst, be gentle with yourself. You are still a mother❤️

DIY Glow Serum

July 4, 2020 / Beauty & Style, Wellness

This post may contain affiliate links.

I am a member of Young Living and you can purchase any essential oils you need through my link and find out more HERE on how to get your oils starter kit. These oils are high quality (Seed to Seal promise) and effective therefore making this serum a wonderful addition to my skincare routine. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

DIY Glow Serum

Today I shared my homemade glow serum recipe over on Instagram but in case you missed it here is all the info and supplies you will need!

My journey into clean beauty products started abut 2.5 years ago when I had my son. Pregnancy had me go through a sort of clean product renaissance, where I realized just how important it was to understand the ingredients of the products that I not only put in my body but also ON my body.

Now in my 30’s, I was in search of a serum that was hydrating, redness-reducing and brightening as well as fine line and wrinkle-fighting. I wanted the glow back!

But I was having trouble finding exactly what I wanted without the addition of questionable ingredients. Being an essential oil user and lover for many years already, I began to research specific oils for a DIY serum I could make at home. I loved this idea because I could make refills easily from the oils I trusted time after time. This was a money saver and I felt good knowing exactly what I was putting on my skin.

I bought myself a fancy glass bottle and it felt very special. Applying MY serum felt so natural and fun. It’s a routine I have loved doing every morning and night! My recipe changes based on my needs so today I’m sharing my current serum that I’ve been using for the past 6 months or so.

WHAT’S IN MY DIY GLOW SERUM?

Essential oils have truly transformed my and my family’s lives for the better and I’m so happy to be sharing and spreading the love to you all! I use the serum day and night, just 4 drops in the palm of my hand and then I gently pat it into my skin. Honestly, sometimes this is the only skin product I use! Since starting this serum about six months ago my skin has been physically smoother to the touch and visibly brighter and clearer.

Essential oils are naturally antibacterial and have so many different benefits for your skin, especially the ones I’m sharing in this recipe! Plus this serum has just FOUR ingredients, all of which I can pronounce🙌

The most mind-bowing part? All-in this serum only cost $9.35 in ingredients and an additional $1 if you use a simple amber glass bottle from Amazon!

Check out my entire (super simple), clean current skincare routine HERE!

A WORD ABOUT PURITY

Before we get started, let’s talk about purity for a minute.

Purity and quality counts when it comes to essential oils. These oils are distilled from plants, so the same way you want to make sure what your eating is pure and toxin-free, the same goes for oils!

At the very least, I recommend buying from the manufacturer directly, and not from a 3rd party source like Amazon. It’s very, very easy to pop the top off and replace them with an inferior essential oil – or something that doesn’t even resemble an oil, but smells like the real deal.

The last thing you want is to spend time and effort growing your garden, only to dump a bunch of toxins on them unknowingly.

Bottom line: Buy from a trusted source, just be sure the oil is pure, and the oil in the bottle is as advertised.

For me that trusted source is Young Living, truly no company compares to their Seed to Seal promise. Being a farmer myself and reading through their literature on farming practices and certifications, it’s clear to see they go BEYOND organic and are a company I can 100% trust with mine and my family’s health. Pus they are the only company I have seen being that transparent about their practices and standards which I really appreciate!

Shoot me an email or click this link for more info on the oils and products I used! And click here to read my story on how I got started with oils and DIY home products!

GET YOUR KIT NOW

1. Lavender

Bottle of Lavender Essential OilLavender essential oil is the perfect place to start and a must-have in every home. By far my favorite essential oil of all, it soothes and nourishes all skin types while also being a great redness-reducer, and is easy to incorporate into your skin care regimen every day. Comes in the starter kit!

Some extra ideas for lavender:

  • Add a drop to your hand, mix with facial moisturizer, and treat your skin to a mini facial massage.
  • Make a basic homemade body scrub by combining coconut oil, sugar, and Lavender oil. Start with 3–4 drops and gradually add more as desired.
  • Create a spa-like retreat by combining 1 cup Epsom salt and 4 drops Lavender and adding to a hot bath.

 

2. Frankincense

Frankincense Essential OilFrankincense essential oil has been sought after since ancient times for its many benefits, including its rejuvenating and beautifying properties. Great for all skin types—but especially beneficial for mature complexions—this luxurious oil helps moisturize and smooth the skin. Comes in the starter kit!

Some extra ideas for frankincense:

  • Boost your skin’s radiance by massaging a drop of Frankincense into facial skin after cleansing, followed by applying your regular moisturizers.
  • Add a few drops to your face cream or body lotion and rub directly into skin.
  • Massage into the skin on hands and feet after a long day to restore skin’s texture.

 


Geranium Essential Oil3. Geranium

Geranium essential oil is a popular choice to help smooth and tone skin. This essential oil is great for all skin types, but it’s especially beneficial for skin that’s either oily or dry.

  • Add a few drops of this essential oil to a DIY face mask or use it during a stress-reducing facial massage.
  • Add 4–5 drops to a water bottle with 2 ounces of water. Spritz lightly over skin for a refreshing, revitalizing effect.

 

Other beneficial essential oils for skin that you could experiment with safely are Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Rose, Tea Tree, Blue Tansy and Chamomile!

4. Jojoba (carrier oil)

I love using jojoba oil in my face serums because it’s complex is the most similar to that of our own, natural skin oils. That means not only is it super moisturizing but it absorbs easily and quickly, no greasy feeling, and promotes healing! Read more here on ALL the different benefits of amazing jojoba oil! I use this jojoba oil right from amazon, it’s the best quality!

HOW TO MAKE MY DIY GLOW SERUM

You will need:

  • 1 oz. dropper bottle from Whimsy & Wellness*
  • 1 oz. jojoba oil
  • 15 drops lavender eo
  • 15 drops frankincense eo
  • 5 drops geranium eo
  • *Updated 9/4 I also add 15 drops of Valor to my serum now!

Combine all oils in your container and roll to mix up! Apply morning and night on clean skin.

*If using the more generic 2oz. dropper bottles just double the ingredients!
