Color Lovers Blog Tour: Welcome, color loving friends! I’m so happy you’re here! The time has come! The day we’ve all been waiting for! Can’t wait to see – 10 bloggers, 10 room makeover reveals as a part of the Color Lovers series! Here’s one of them on the tour. My dining room from blah to ta-da!

Let’s take a look at the before and after of my dining room, let me know what you think in the comments below and then be sure to visit the other makeovers designed by our talented blog friends at the end of this post for more color loving inspiration. Ready? Let’s go!

I’m so excited! It’s time for the dining room reveal! If you like what you see, I’ve included some affiliate links below. Okay, here we go! My dining room was neutral to start…

The Before:

My dining room has very little natural light. So adding fun colorful elements took it from gloomy to cheerful! Hey, I’m a neutral loving girl too, but I was ready for some fun pops of color in that bland uninspired dining room.

The Plan: (see THIS post for more details)…my design board included a beautiful color combination of navy and chartreuse, blush and gray.

…finally, a room with some fun personality and color! Decorative accessories + paint = a color lovers’ dream! I love the power of paint, don’t you? Take a look!

Happy Unicorn {Essential Oil-Infused} Roller-Blend Make & Take and Giveaway

Posted on May 26, 2017 by Roeshel

Earlier this week I shared the anniversary of the journey to a healthier me and this week, a few friends gathered with me to celebrate with a happy hour/make & take and I wanted to share a few of the highlights…

“Being a person is getting too complicated. Time to be a unicorn.”

The DIY Make & Take:

Magic Unicorn Blend

What we used: (some affiliate links below)

10 ml glass bottles
fractionated coconut oil or Young Living’s V-6
Bergamot essential oil
Joy essential oil blend
Grapefruit essential oil
embellishments optional: stickers, decorative tape, ribbon (I found my unicorn themed stickers and decorative tape at Michaels Stores).

*Note: I only recommend Young Living essential oils. See below for more info.

What we did:

Add 10 drops of each essential oil (Joy, Bergamot, Grapefruit) to the roller bottle, top off with carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, V6 or carrier oil of your choice). Secure the rollerball fitment and lid. It has a pretty perfume-y smell with an uplifting scent. WARNING: Citrus essential oils are photosensitive. Do not apply if you’ll be out in the sun or apply topically where the sun don’t shine!

More Details& Ideas

Bergamot//Bergamot’s aroma is tart yet sweet and uplifting yet relaxing.

Grapefruit//sweet, invigorating aroma that members enjoy for its ability to encourage feelings of joy, satisfaction, and playfulness.

Joy//invites a sense of romance, bliss, and warmth when diffused. When worn as a fragrance, it invites togetherness.

Light (essential oil infused) refreshments included: Beverages consisted of guest’s choice of Ice water bar with citrus Vitality essential oils (use glass or stainless steel containers), Sangria, Pink Moscato.

Fresh fruits in rainbow colors and fruit dip. Fruit dip: 1 large container of greek yogurt, 8 oz. cream cheese, a splash of vanilla extract, sweetener to taste, lemon Vitality essential oil. I blended ingredients with my hand mixer and refrigerated until served.

Sweet Potato/Beet Chips (2 bags) with dip. Dip: No photo…oops! But SO good! I hand mixed 8 oz. sour cream, 3/4 cup of avocado mayo, onion powder/garlic powder to taste, sea salt to taste, fresh dill and about 5-7 drops of dill Vitality essential oil. Yum!

Party Favors: You can’t see them around the water bottle in the photo below but these are perfect for applying essential oil and wearing as a hair accessory or bracelet. Get them here and you’ll have lots left over for welcome gifts, incentives, etc. —>{elastic knotted hair elastics}

Prizes: Nitro packets and Wolfberry Crisp Bars.

Raffles: Just an idea of some fun raffles I put together: (Most items found at Michaels).

Fun Game: Also search Google and print: “What’s Your Unicorn Name”.

We also covered some material from a Balancing Healthy Emotions with Essential Oils.

Essential Oil Infused Honey Gift Ideas

Posted on December 1, 2016 by Roeshel

Handmade holiday gifts are the best, aren’t they?! Just knowing that someone put in so much time, effort and love into creating a gift gives it a special touch.

I especially love a ‘useful’ gift, not to mention I really want those I love using non toxic products. One of my favorite things about my essential oils is the ability to feel better when everyone is feeling “yuck” and this Thieves tea recipe works so well to support a healthy immune system. It’s now our must have, go-to – especially at this time of year. I want my friends and family to experience the same benefits.

Handcrafted gifts are unique treasures, thoughtful, unexpected and personal.

What I used (affiliate links):

jars (I used 1.5 oz. hexagon glass jars)
local raw honey
essential oils (Thieves + Lemon Vitality – labled for dietary use is my favorite combo)
optional: wood honey dipper sticks
optional: white paper hot coffee cups
decorative embellishments (ribbon, stickers, decorative tape, Sharpie)

Get your essential oils here now!

What I did: (pardon my DIY room makeover in progress manicure!)

Add honey to individual jars.
Add about 7-10 drops of Lemon Vitality essential oil.
Add 5 drops of Thieves Vitality essential oil blend.
Mix well.
Cap jar, secure a honey dipper with ribbon and decorate jar.
Decorate a coordinating paper cup.

I love the above Thieves tea recipe because it supports a healthy immune system – something very IN DEMAND this time of year!

MORE IDEAS:

Mix it up with different essential oils from the Young Living Vitality line! Ideas: bergamot-honey, peppermint-honey, lavender-honey, cinnamon-honey, orange-honey, etc.

Recipients:

A perfect gift for anyone: a cup of holiday cheer and wellness for teachers
co-workers,
a Secret Santa gift exchange,
friends and family for the holidays.

Have a few on hand to grab and go for the hostess of your next holiday party.
Party favors or they’re a sweet idea for that make & take party you’re hosting!

Did you know bergamot is the flavor for Earl Grey tea?

Makes a fun stocking stuffer,
a sweet make & take recipe or prize!
It’s a great gift to have on hand for when you learn that a friend (or 10) are feeling under the weather from via a Facebook post. Simply drop off this sweet get well gift (after you’ve Thieve’d yourself first, of course).

More gift set ideas:

attach a bottle of Vitality essential oil
tuck it away in a mug with some organic tea bags, homemade hand purifier, Thieves Cough Drops and lip balm
or a plate of homemade cookies
or chicken noodle soup.

Give it a warm winter wishes theme by adding your essential oil infused honey and cup to a gift bag with warm fuzzy socks and a good book or holiday ornament.

If you’re an essential oils business builder, tuck in your business card and a coupon with a special offer or invitation to your next event.

It’s a great gift that’s going to get some use, probably before the year is even over.
