In the winter time, we spend a lot of time indoors. It’s the perfect time to get your essential oil diffuser running. You can purify the air, freshen your home, and also create an inviting scent for company.
Here are some of my favorite Essential oil diffuser blends for Winter.
This Sleepy Time Cherry Smoothie Recipe is made with tart cherry juice - an ingredient that contains Melatonin, and has been proven to help you sleep better. Plus, it just happens to taste pretty great too!
Ingredients:
2 oz of pure tart cherry juice, unsweetened
1 cup of coconut milk or almond milk
½ banana (frozen adds a bit more texture)
2-3 ice cubes
The power of essential oils (EO’s) is real - and if you have been following me for awhile, you have likely heard me talk about them here and there. But have YOU made them part of your everyday life yet?
I’m going to lay out all of the basics so you can get on this one bandwagon, because it’s here for the long haul. And when you learn about the history of EO’s, you’ll know that they’re not even new. In fact, EO’s have been around for centuries!
Some essential oils come from seeds while many others are extracted from the leaves of the plant. Because EO’s are so highly concentrated, it takes a tremendous amount of plant to produce just one ounce of oil.
Due to this level of concentration, essential oils are incredibly powerful, so a little bit goes a long way!
