Some Food for Thought This Black History Month + Veguary Tips šŸŒæšŸ½ļø

Hello, Happy February & Veg-uary! šŸŒæšŸ’› In honor of Black History Month and Veguary, I wanted to share a new video—and a gentle conversation around health, food, and listening to our bodies. Now listen… I know talking about food can be a sensitive topic—especially those comfort foods we grew up on and enjoy together during the holidays and celebrations. This is not about taking away traditions, joy, or telling anyone what to eat. That’s not my role. What is my role is to share a little...

Hello Beloveds! Happy Holidays! As the holiday season settles in, small rituals can make a big difference. One of my favorites this year is a DIY holiday simmer pot (aka Potpourri)—a gentle, natural way to use scent to create warmth and comfort at home. Using fresh orange slices, cinnamon sticks, rosemary, and cranberries, this simple pot of simmering water allows natural aromas to slowly permeate the air. No essential oils required—just ingredients you may already have in your kitchen. This...

Hello Beloveds! As we step into Thanksgiving week, I wanted to share something truly special with you. 🦃✨ While serving at St. Charles Church, I found a handwritten message on a chalkboard—words originally discovered on the wall in Mother Teresa’s Home for Children in Calcutta. These ā€œDo It Anywayā€ principles touched my heart deeply, and I felt led to pass them along to you. šŸ’– Here’s a glimpse of that beautiful inspiration: People may be unreasonable — forgive them anyway. šŸ™ Your kindness may...

Hello Beautiful Souls! Here’s an update to what I mentioned in my last newsletter, where I shared:ā€œThis weekend I’ll be out in the community as a vendor for Aromabuds and Blossoms, my aromatherapy business. It feels like perfect alignment, like I’m stepping back into my lane with clarity and purpose. If you’re attending the event, come find me. I’d love to see you, share some scents, and reconnect.ā€ Well… it happened — and it was beautiful. ✨ This week has been a powerful reminder of why...

Hello Beloveds, Happy Wellness Wednesday! This past week and a half have been one of those times where life taps you on the shoulder and says, ā€œRemember why you’re here?ā€ Someone close to me was navigating a challenging MS moment, and it brought me right back to the root of my journey. It reminded me why I ever started exploring natural wellness in the first place. My path really began years ago with Dr. Joel Wallach’s work and Youngevity, long before aromatherapy and herbalism found me. That...

Hello Beloveds, It’s been a while since my last video, and I’m so excited to share that I’m getting back into my Essential Oils Spotlight from A to Z Series! šŸ’§ Over the past year, I’ve been on the move — working in the community, supporting local wellness projects, and connecting with people who are finding natural ways to live healthier, more balanced lives. Those experiences have inspired me to bring back this series stronger than ever! My newest video I’ll be talking about how to boost...

Hey Beloveds, I hope this message finds you in good spirits and standing strong in your purpose. šŸ’› I’m so excited to share that I recently had the honor of presenting at the LEO International Conference, a Women Leadership & Mental Health Conference, alongside some truly amazing women from around the world. It was such a powerful and uplifting experience — filled with connection, inspiration, and purpose. Being part of this event reminded me why I do this work. Even though I haven’t been as...

Hello beloved friends, Happy September! šŸ‚ Back-to-school season always carries that refreshing ā€œfresh startā€ energy, and I’m excited to share something special with you. Recently, I was gifted the sweetest little notebook — scented! šŸ’” As an aromatherapist, it sparked an idea: why not create DIY scented notebooks to boost focus and bring joy to everyday routines? šŸ“¹ Speaking of fresh starts, I have wonderful news to share… 🌿 This Fall, I’m officially offering in-person aromatherapy classes! I’m...

Hello and Happy (Almost August) Beloved! Can you believe July is almost over? I hope you’re having a wonderful summer (here in the U.S.)! I know I sure am—I’m taking full advantage of these sunny days and feeling so blessed with some exciting opportunities lately. But you know me… no matter how busy life gets, I always find a way to share my favorite passion with you—essential oils—just like I do over on my YouTube channel! šŸ’› This month, I filmed a quick 3-minute video showing how I use oils...

Hello and Happy July Beloved! Have you ever had someone look at you and say, ā€œYour skin looks amazing—what’s your secret?ā€ That happened to me while attending a monthly support notary group meeting with one of my fellow notaries. She even texted me later after the meeting saying, ā€œYour skin glows, what are you using?ā€ Ironically, earlier that same week, someone else had asked me a similar question about a facial skincare issue. So, I knew it was time to share exactly what I do—and why it...
