Fill Your Medicine Cabinet With These Essential Oils!

We've all become accustom to reaching for a Advil or Aleve when we have a headache or any other ache or pain.  Unfortunately, all those types of medications come with a long list of side effects like stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, labored breathing, nervousness, skin itching or rash, bruising, swelling, blurred vision or ringing in the ears...just to name a few.  It's crazy to think that those types of medications can actually cause what you are trying to treat!

Don't get me wrong, I suffer from Migraines and so far there is no amount of any Essential Oil that can cure my Migraines but using some Lavender and Peppermint Essential Oil can help take the edge off.

By using Essential Oils to treat what ails you also get all the other benefits of using the Essential Oil.  For example, if you choose Peppermint Oil for your headache you will also feel a boost in your energy level or if you choose Clary Sage for menstrual cramps you'll also enjoy a good night's sleep.  It's literally a win, win!

doTERRA® Essential Oils

All Essential Oils are not created equal which is why I chose to become a doTERRA® Wellness Advocate.  I've tried dozens and dozens of different Essential Oil brands and I just came to the conclusion that doTERRA® oils are just the best out there.  With doTERRA® Essential Oils I can rely on the fact that they are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® (CPTG) and that they are pure and free of contaminants.  The more pure the Essential Oil the more potent which equals more powerful results!

The other wonderful thing about doTERRA® is that they practice Co-Impact Sourcing®.  Co-Impact Sourcing® is the process of sourcing which is intended to provide powerful essential oils as well as create an industry that uplifts and instills hope in farming communities around the world.  In other words doTERRA® oils are ethically sourced and that is just as important and the purity of the oils!

Good quality Essential Oils are an investment.  However, try to keep in mind that you are literally using drops at a time. A 15ml (standard size) bottle of Essential Oil can last months or even longer.  I like to consider my Essential Oil purchases to be an investment in my overall health.  Looking at it that way makes my purchases easier to make!

If you're new to the world of Essential Oils then I recommend starting out with Lavender Oil.  I use it everyday.  It's in my diffuser by my bed, I apply it to my temples when I have a headache (which is almost everyday) and I put it on my wool dryer balls to naturally scent our laundry, among other things!  A 15ml bottle retails for $28.00 but it's potent so a little goes a very long way.  You may think your getting a great deal when your buying that 4oz. bottle of Lavender Essential Oil for $19.99 on Amazon but you will need to use twice as much or more to get the same effects as one drop of the doTERRA® Lavender Oil.  Trust me, I use to be the one buying that 4oz. bottle of Lavender Oil on Amazon!

2019 is a new year and a great time to start a health overhaul from meds to Essential Oils!  Please comment below if you have any questions about any of the Essential Oils I mentioned above or even one that I didn't.  As your doTERRA® Essential Oils Wellness Advocate I am at your service!

Exciting News!! ~ I am now a doTERRA Essential Oils Wellness Advocate!

doTERRA

I'm excited to announce that I am now a doTERRA Wellness Advocate!

Essential Oils have been something that I've become more and more passionate about over the years and is the reason why I decided that 2019 was going to be the year that I take that passion to the next level. 

While I'm still very passionate about beauty and skincare I have also become as equally passionate about Essential Oils. I have found the world of Essential Oils to be life changing and I've decided it's a world that I think more people should know about.

All Essential Oils are not created equal and after doing my research and testing out a multitude of different brands I knew I had to become a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA.  Combining my love of Essential Oils and my admiration of doTERRA as a company made becoming a doTERRA Wellness Advocate an easy decision. What sets doTERRA Oils apart from other Essential Oils is the quality of their oils and their commitment to ethically sourcing those oils.

My goal as a doTERRA Wellness Advocate is to make everyone as equally excited about Essential Oils and to educate them that there is no need for those harsh chemicals in our lives!

I'm excited to expand my Essential Oils knowledge base, implement new and original ways to use Essential Oils and to share all that wisdom with you, after all, Essential Oils are not just for diffusing!

Stay tuned to GlamRiver for blog posts full of ideas on how to use Essential Oils in your everyday life and tips on on how to get you and your family to make the transition from those harsh chemicals to Essential Oils!  For Essential Oils 101, DIY's and Essential Oil Recipes and to order your own Essential Oils you can visit my doTERRA website at my.doTERRA.com/GlamRiverOils!

Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil by Gya Labs

*Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil by Gya Labs

Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil is one of my favorite oils and is one that I consider a staple for any Essential Oil arsenal.  It's a favorite because there are so many uses for it!  

I keep a bottle on my desk for those times when I'm feeling a little stressed and need a little pick me up, I just inhale or massage a couple drops onto my wrists and I almost instantly feel better.  I also use Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil to help fight off sugar cravings.  I just add a few drops to my water when I feel a craving coming on and it defintely helps ease those thoughts of sugary sweets that are running through my head!

Here are just a few other ways I use my Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil by Gya Labs:

1) Mix a few drops into Coconut Oil and massage into the back of the neck and shoulders to help relieve stress.

2) Mix a few drops with Jojoba Oil and use to treat blemishes.

3) Diffuse in home or office to eliminate unwanted odors.

4) Make your own household cleaner!  It works as a natural antibacterial agent and it smells good!  Just put several drops in a spray bottle with some water and voilà you have a custom made cleaner!

5) Helps ease the symptoms of a hangover.

There are many other ways to use Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil, probably some that I haven't even thought of!  As with any Essential Oil it's extremely important to make sure you use a good quality Essential Oil, especially if you intend to ingest it!  I can always count on Gya Labs for their excellent quality Essential Oils! 

Favorite Essential Oils of the moment!  Check out my Instagram to see what I use them for!

Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs

*Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs

I use Essential Oils every day, several times throughout the day!  In fact, I'm taking a class on Essential Oils just so I can be a bit more knowledgeable in the Essential Oil department.  Needless to say, I'm a bit obsessed and always on the hunt for the best of the best since not all Essential Oils are created equal.

I just recently discovered Essential Oils by Gya Labs and they very kindly sent me their Myrrh Essential Oil to try out!  Most people are familiar with Myrrh since it was one of the gifts that the Three Wise Men brought baby Jesus.  It's basically a gum resin that is obtained from certain trees and made into an essential oil and is used in medicines, perfumes and incense.

Myrrh is one of my favorite Essential Oils to have around during the cold and flu season.  I keep a bottle on my desk when I get to feeling a little under the weather.  I just take a few sniffs throughout the day and the unique scent really helps take the edge off cold and flu symptoms.  It also has antibacterial, antifungal benefits so I love mixing it with a carrier oil like Jojoba Oil and applying it to any affected area and it really helps expedite the healing process.  I will also apply a mixture of Myrrh Oil & Jojoba Oil to my chest and neck if I get a particularly bad cold to help ease symptoms on a deeper level.  

Myrrh Essential Oils has many uses and benefits and it's a great one to have in any Essential Oil collection!  This Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs is excellent quality and I would highly recommend it!

These are just a few of the Essential Oils that I currently use and love!

You can find the Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs over on Amazon along with all the rest of the Essential Oils pictured above...

Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs + Get 50% OFF with coupon code 97707CAN

*Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs

I have always been intrigued by Smudging and I just recently purchased some Sage Wands and starting learning more about the art of Smudging.  The main goal of smudging is to clear a space of lingering energy, specifically negative energy.  There is also a sort of ceremony that goes along with Smudging, or at least there should be.  I am a total novice when it comes to Smudging but I think you should definitely have a clear vision of what your intentions are for the space you want to clear or for yourself if you are clearing your personal self of stagnant or negative energy.  There are many Smudging Prayers you can use or you can simply think and say positive thoughts and affirmations as you Smudge.

Smudging is almost like meditation to me.  I don't do it as often as I would like but I always feel so much better afterward so I have been trying to make it a priority.  I also happen to love the smell of Sage and luckily it grows rather abundantly where I live.  

I know some people are very sensitive to Sage and to smoke in general so the traditional way of Smudging may not be a viable option for them.  That's where Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs comes in!  It's the perfect smokeless alternative to Smudging with Sage.

This is just not any ordinary Sage Smudging Spray.  It's formulated with Organic White Sage Essential Oil, Lunar Energy, Clear Quartz Crystal Energy and Reiki Energy.  In other words, this is a serious Smudging spray.

The Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs is perfect for using at work!  Since Smudging with actual Sage isn't a likely option in most work environments having a Smudging Spray is the perfect substitute!  Just make sure you don't go around spraying it like an air freshener, put your positive intentions and thoughts into it as you spray.  It's amazing what clearing a little negative energy will do for a work space.  I highly recommend it!

The Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs retails for $19.99 for 8 oz. and can be purchased over at moonwaterelixirs.com.  Make sure to use the code 97707CAN for 50% OFF!  Happy Smudging!!

Affordable Hair Savers - Tea Tree Oil Shampoo & Jojoba Oil by Maple Holistics

*Hair Savers - Tea Tree Oil Shampoo & Jojoba Oil by Maple Holistics

For me Tea Tree Oil & Jojoba Oil go hand in hand when it comes to taking care of my hair and scalp.  However, not all Tea Tree Oil and Jojoba Oil products are created equal.  To get good results you have to stick with good quality products that use only natural/organic ingredients.  It's all the additives that they put in hair products these days that can cause further irritation to the scalp and strip hair of much need moisture!

Tea Tree Oil is best known for its impressive antiseptic properties which is really great if you have any type of skin condition.  Unfortunately, I just so happen to have a a few stubborn Eczema patches that like to make their appearance on my scalp and I've found that Tea Tree Oil really helps soothe my irritated skin and it also helps to heal it at the same time.  

What I love most about this Tea Tree Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics is that I get the antiseptic benefits to help treat my scalp irritations but it also helps give my hair a deep clean by removing any left over residue from dry shampoos and the heavy conditioners that I like to use.

I don't use the Tea Tree Oil Shampoo everyday, I only use it about once a week or more if I have Eczema flare ups or if my hair is feeling weighed down.  After just one use my scalp feels clean and my hair feels clean as well and it also feels really nourished!

Tea Tree Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics is a must have to take your hair and scalp care to the next level!  The Tea Tree Oil Shampoo retails for $10.95 for 8oz.

Jojoba Oil by Maple Holistics is the other product that I use to keep my hair in the best condition possible.  Besides being great for your skin, Jojoba Oil is also great for your hair.  It's perfect to help to nourish and hydrate dry, damaged hair.  For everyday use I like to apply it just to my ends to control frizz and smooth flyaways.  However, I will also use it as an overnight mask.  To do this, I saturate my dry hair, staying away from my roots and concentrating more on the ends and then just wash it out in the morning and voilà!  My hair is restored, hydrated and more manageable!  Plus, since Jojoba Oil is so good for your skin as well it makes for the perfect oil to use as an overnight hair mask.  I love that I don't have to worry about it getting on my face from pillow transfer and creating breakouts.  It's a win for your hair and your skin!  The Jojoba Oil retails for $8.95 for 2oz.

Lemongrass Essential Oil by UpNature

*Lemongrass Essential Oil by UpNature

Lemongrass has recently become one of my favorite Essential Oils.  I have been doing research on Essential Oils in general and was surprised to find that Lemongrass Essential Oil has quite a few more benefits than I had previously thought.
The most common Lemongrass Essential Oil benefits and uses are insect repellent, energy booster, natural deodorizer, astringent and germ killer.  However, it can also be used for good hair health.  The Lemongrass Oil can strengthen hair follicles by just massaging a few drops of into your scalp for two minutes and then rinsing.  Or, next time you're feeling stressed, have a headache, neck or back ache try rubbing some diluted Lemongrass oil (I use Fractionated Coconut Oil) onto tensed, cramped or sore spots and feel your stress and pain melt away.  Another great benefit of Lemongrass Essential Oil is that is can support the immune system.  When the nutrients from the oil are absorbed into the body, it can be fundamental in restoring your immune system and can even help with the proper operation of organs.
Believe it or not there are many other benefits, all from one little Essential Oil (check out the list below!).  Lemongrass Essential Oil by UpNature is absolutely one oil that you want to have in your Essential Oil arsenal!  This oil is excellent quality, 100% pure, therapeutic grade, contains no additives, is unfiltered, undiluted and GMO Free!

Add this Lemongrass Essential Oil by UpNature to your Essential Oil collection today!  You can find it over on Amazon.com...

BR Naturals - Fresh, Natural & Handmade products that you should be adding to your collection +30% now through May 5th with Coupon Code!

BR Naturals

BR Naturals is a totally new brand to me and they were nice enough to send me a few of their lovely products.  I am trying to go "all natural" as much as possible.  Not just with my skincare and hair care but with household products as well.  BR Naturals offers a nice mixture of body care products, essential oils, carrier oils and even things like Avocado Oil and Olive Oil.

Based out of Canada their products are all natural, handmade and you can really tell that a lot of love and care goes into their products.

While I have really enjoyed everything they sent me my favorite items are the Lemongrass Lotion Bar, Coconut Lip Balm and their Natural Soaps.  They are super amazing and something that I will be re-purchasing.

 Lemongrass Lotion Bar

This Lemongrass Lotion Bar smells wonderful, makes my skin feel soft and hydrated while doubling as an insect repellent.  This will be my go-to lotion this spring & summer.  Not only will my skin feel nice and soft but the Lemongrass Oil will keep the bugs away.  I love to hike and that means ticks & mosquito's where I live.  It comes in a nice, convenient tin which is perfect to just throw it in my backpack!  LOVE!
I also highly recommend using this after shaving and right after you get of of the shower or bath.  I like to put on a fairly thick layer right before bed as well.

Made with all natural Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Lemongrass Oil and Vitamin E.

Retails for $11.99 for 3.1oz.

Coconut Lip Balm

Little known fact...I'm a bit of a Lip Balm junkie.  It's ridiculous how many things of Lip Balm I have but I use them all and I am always on the hunt for something new.  This Coconut Lip Balm became a fast favorite.  

It smells just like you would want a Coconut Lip Balm to smell like...a tropical vacation!  Made with all natural Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Argan Oil, Babassu, Vitamin E and Coconut Extract among other ingredients it nourishes my dry lips for hours and it even tastes good!

Retails for $5.00 for .17oz.

Lemongrass Body Wash

Lavender Essential Oil

What's not to love about Lavender Oil?  This is a excellent quality Lavender Oil that smells amazing.  Their are literally dozens of uses for Lavender Oil and I use mine in several different ways.
I love putting a few drops in my diffuser, especially in the evening.  I also like to add a few drops to my bath water to help soothe away the stress of the day.  I even apply it to my temples when I feel a headache coming on and it works like a charm.  However, I mostly use it to scent my wool dryer balls for my laundry.  I don't use fabric softener because it's toxic so I use wool dryer balls instead and you can add a few drops of essential oil to give your laundry a nice, fresh scent just like fabric softener but without all the toxic chemicals!
Retails for $11.99 for 1.7oz.

Lavender Flowers Soap Bar

I love a a good all natural soap.  There is just something about the way it smells and the way it leaves your skin feeling soft and clean.  I also prefer to use a bar of soap for shaving and the Lavender Flowers Soap Bar and their Peppermint Leaf Soap Bar are both exfoliating soaps which helps exfoliate dead skin cells and will leave it feeling soft and smooth.  

I just LOVE a good exfoliating soap and these are amazing!  They not only smell amazing but you can feel the exfoliating bits in the soap gently exfoliating your skin, almost like a light massage.  I love that feeling!

Their soaps are made with premium ingredients like Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Castor Oil, Sunflower Oil and Hempseed Oil which is what makes them so luxurious and great for the skin.  If you love the look, feel and smell of a natural soap then you will love these!

Lavender Flowers Soap Bar retails for $6.99 for 3.5oz.

Peppermint Leaf Soap Bar for $6.99 for 3.5oz.

Overall, I loved every product I've tried from BR Naturals, enough that I will repurchase them when my current supply runs out!  BR Naturals is definitely worth checking out so head over to brnaturals.com for more detailed information on these products or to see what else they have!  Plus, get 30% off EVERYTHING now through May 5th when you use code MOMSDAY30 at checkout!

PainAway Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

*PainAway Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

I have tried a few other lovely essential oils blends from Phytopia, the SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend, Stretch Mark Remover Essential Oil Blend, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend and now this PainAway Essential Oil Blend and I have really enjoyed all of them.  The two standouts are the Tranquility Essential Oil Blend and this PainAway Essential Oil Blend.

I have really been enjoying using this PainAway Essential Oil Blend.  While it doesn't give you that "icy hot" feeling like most traditional pain creams you do feel a nice cooling sensation and it definitely provides some serious relief for tired and achy muscles.  Not only does it help soothe tires and sore muscles but the blend of Evening Primrose, Peppermint, Rosemary, Eucalyptus and Lavender Essential Oils smells amazing which I'm sure helps melt away the tension and stress too.

My favorite way to use this is as a massage oil for my back and neck.  I have a lot of back and neck issues and having my husband massage this PainAway Essential Oil Blend feels incredible, especially if it's right before bed.  It really helps me relax which also means I sleep better as well.

I highly recommend trying any of the all natural and organic Essential Oil Blends from Phytopia, they are seriously amazing!

Eucalyptus Oil by The Essentials Co.

*Eucalyptus Oil by The Essentials Co.

Eucalyptus Oil is something I like to use when I am feeling a bit under the weather.  For me, it's the natural way to fend off bacteria and infections.  This Eucalyptus Oil by The Essentials Co. recently helped me get over a cold that I felt coming on.  I simply placed a few drops in my Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and Aroma Diffuser everyday for about 4 days.  I also intermittently placed a drop underneath my nose and inhaled the aroma of the Eucalyptus Oil.  I never ended up getting a full blown cold and I know I have the combination of inhaling the Eucalyptus Oil directly and putting it in my Diffuser to thank for it.

Since Eucalyptus Oil has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties it can also be used to treat minor 

 wounds, scrapes, burns and even bug bites and stings.  It can also help relieve pain and keep areas from becoming infected.

Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil by First Botany Cosmeceuticals

*Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil by First Botany Cosmeceuticals

We use a TON of Lavender Oil in our house.  It's one Essential Oil that we use several times a day.  It's used in our Essential Oil Diffusers and we also use it to put on our Wool Dryer Balls and throw them in the dryer to help make our laundry smell fresh and clean.  Plus, I also like to rub some on before bed to help me relax or if I am just feeling a little stressed and need help chilling out.  Needless to say we go through it pretty fast!

I have tried several Essential Oils from First Botany Cosmeceuticals and I am always happy with the quality of the oils and their smell.  This Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil is no exception.   It has a lovely smell and texture and it also blends well with other Essential Oils.  I also love that it comes in a 4 oz. bottle since we go through it so fast.

If you are into Essential Oils as much as I am then I think you will enjoy this Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil by First Botany Cosmeceuticals!

SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

*SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

I am a sucker for all things Essential Oils!  I have been using this SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia for about a week now.  It's supposed to help speed up your metabolism and curb your appetite which in the long run can help you loose weight.

For the week that I have been using it has in fact helped curb my appetite, especially my sweet tooth cravings.  Yay!  I can't tell if it's helped speed up my metabolism but I have had more energy, especially in the evenings, which for me is a sign that it might be working.  Thank goodness.  I need all the help I can get!

The SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia is made with Organic carrier oils like Olive, Sunflower, Evening Primrose and Jojoba and blended with Essential Oils like Juniperberry, Grapefruit, Sweet Fennel, Green Lemon, Rosemary, Cypress, Michelia Alba and Geranium China.  I really enjoy the smell of this blend.  It actually smells a little like black licorice to me, which I really like.  I apply several times throughout the day and I massage the oil onto the back of my neck and onto my wrists and even a little under my nose.  I notice that it also has a bit of a calming yet invigorating effect as well that I like.  Overall, I really like the way it smells and the way it makes me feel.  In the end, if it helps me loose some weight then that's an added bonus!

Manuka Oil by Natural Beauty Limited

*Manuka Oil by Natural Beauty Limited

Manuka Oil is a new oil to me so I was excited to try it out because I have been testing some new products out and I ended up with some cystic acne (I think I narrowed it down to the Estee Lauder Matte Perfecting Primer as the culprit).  Manuka Oil is a lot like Tea Tree Oil in that it's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial which makes it perfect to use on blemishes to speed up healing and recovery.
This Manuka Oil by Natural Beauty Limited is a 100% pure and natural essential oil and I have to say that it worked wonders on my spots.  Normally, when I have a bad reaction like the one that I had it takes weeks to heal but I started seeing results in a matter of days.  I was very consistent and used the Manuka Oil twice a day directly on the spots.  Manuka Oil is also Cicatrisant and Cytophylactic which helps promote new cell growth and healing and It think is a big reason why I saw such immediate results.
Manuka Oil and Tea Tree Oil have a lot of similarities, smell being one of them, but I feel like I had better results with the Manuka Oil than I've ever had with Tea Tree Oil.  Not sure why and it could even be because I was so consistent with the application of the Manuka Oil but whatever the reason I will be keeping the Manuka Oil on hand at all times!
