You read that right. And I bet you're wondering right now...'what could I possibly do that I wouldn't admit to?'. I dare you to read on and not giggle in agreeance to at least ONE of these! If you don't, then you must not love your oils enough... THING 1: Continuing to use empty bottles. I did this with my bottle of Peppermint this morning. Making my smoothie, it always needs that extra energy boost. I reach for my Peppermint - that I STILL haven't replaced with a new bottle

So we had this MASSIVE zucchini my son bought from the farmer's market (honestly, it looked to be the size of my leg) and I knew we needed to make something REALLY great out of it. Turns out, this recipe was JUST that. I found the original here, but chose to use some protein-packed flour, less sugar, and my PEPPERMINT OIL! YESSSSSS! It's SO DELICIOUS that I ended up making two loaves (and still had enough zucchini to make enough loaves for my town). Ingredients: - 2 tbsp mill

I am obsessed with chocolate. I want chocolate all.the.time. This recipe is inspired from here. I praise her greatly for the aquafaba deliciousness! If you've never tried aquafaba before - you're in for a REAL treat! I adjusted the recipe for sugar and added dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil. SO GREAT!!! Ingredients: 4 tbsp aquafaba (which is the juice inside a can of chickpeas!) 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup almond butter

I'm SO EXCITED! Leadership Retreat is around the corner and I can barely stand the wait! That, and the fact that I'll be spending a bunch of time on the beach the week after. Seriously, though. Leadership is game-changing for your dōTERRA biz. Last year was my first year and, as a new Silver, I was struggling with what it meant to lead. Leadership changed that. My biggest 'ah-ha' moments * as a leader, I need to be my AUTHENTIC self * spread love everywhere (that was and IS m

It’s the New Year as I write this and I’m 4 days into the dōTERRA Cleanse and Restore program. I do this twice a year and afterwards I always feel AMAZING! BUT there are those first few days of a cleanse or detox where you start to experience symptoms associated with your body releasing all those toxins. What’s a girl to do? Well, turn to your oils, of course! Here are the top common symptoms people experience and what you can do about them. Craving foods you know perfectly w

One thing about not eating eggs is….well….no scrambled eggs. We sometimes like to have a “big breakfast” {ahem…have like a 5-course meal for breakfast} and the one missing thing was scrambled eggs. But, as plant-based living continues to grow, some wizard somewhere invented the TOFU SCRAMBLE recipe! Oh, bless you, sweet wizard! As with most things, I make them once then turn them completely into something of my own. This recipe is no different. I’ve whipped this baby up many

I'm obsessed with pickles. Like, crazy. I saw these cute little cucumbers at Costco and had this *amazing* idea: LET'S MAKE OUR OWN DILL PICKLES! So we did. And they are so crunchy. And delish. And EASY PEASY! Here's what you need: 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar 1 sliced garlic clove 2 drops of dōTERRA Dill essential oil 1 drop of dōTERRA Cumin essential oil (optional if you're not a fan of Cumin) 1 pinch dried Thyme A couple of pinches of salt 1 wide-mouthed mason jar 6-8 min

We all know you only need 1 (sometimes 2) drops of dōTERRA essential oils per dose, right? But how much are we spending when it all breaks down? I made this FUN graphic to help you estimate costs each oil. Let's see what this means.... I wake up and, instead of adding lemon juice to my water (at $0.50/half lemon squeezed), I use one drop of Lemon. That's $0.05. WHAT? Ok, so hold on....before using my oils I would juice a half a lemon in my water each day as a part of my daily

Today it snowed. We just got home from 5 weeks in Las Vegas. I needed soup. I Googled 'chickpea curry soup' and this beauty popped up from I Love Vegan. I quickly scanned the ingredients and knew I had everything. In my typical fashion, I adjusted some things, but wanted to give credit because this recipes comes pretty close. PLUS, it was the PERFECT chance to use my Coriander essential oil! Ingredients: - splash of avocado oil - 1/4 cup of diced onion - 2 garlic cloves, dice

I know, this picture looks somewhat silly, with the plastic wrap and all. Here's the thing, we're on a 5-week trip to Las Vegas and, while I've got my trusted VitaMix, wax paper wasn't on my packing list. So plastic wrap it is! My boys LOVE Lara Bars. And what's not to love?? REAL food made into a delicious, easy-to-take-along bars. They could gobble up a box in one siting if I let them. Instead, I decided to make my own because, well, it's like a secret challenge of mine to

I know 10% of you out there just looked at the title and decided to SKIP OUT on this recipe. I see you Cilantro haters out there - my hubby is one of them! But it's all good because you can totally substitute Cilantro essential oil for Basil essential oil and it STILL tastes amazing! Now, you might ask - why would I use a drop of essential oil when I could just use Cilantro itself? Well, that's a great question and one I asked at the beginning of my oil journey. Essential oil

Here's the quickest breakfast or lunch you'll ever make and it's SO GOOD! Use any fruits you want, but below is what I went for today. Ingredients: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1/2 cup frozen mango 1 chopped banana 1 drop Wild Orange I opened my freezer, stuck a pre-packaged baggie of my frozen fruit in a bowl, then chopped a banana. Seriously - 30 seconds. Add one drop of Wild Orange and mix it all together. I then get dressed and come back down and
