How Essential Oils Saved My Holiday

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now the Christmas rush is on.

I believe I dodged a bullet last week, and my Thanksgiving was saved with a little help from some awesome essential oils!

I love to host gatherings, but I really do put way too much unnecessary stress on myself. Looking back I can laugh, but in the moment I always strive for perfection.

I'm sure I'm not alone here...

How many of you found yourself not sleeping and getting run down just as the big day approached?

For me it started with sleepless nights. I would get 3-4 interrupted hours of sleep over the course of the night.

By the third day, I just felt a little "off." I usually take that as my sign to act fast or prepare for the worst.

So I sprang into action and made what's been lovingly referred to as a "immune boosting bomb".

Basically, it's just a few drops of several essential oils known for their immune boosting ability.*

I took one every six hours over the next 24-hour period, and by the time I woke up Thursday morning I felt like a new women.

I was back to 100%, celebrated the day with family and friends, and truly had so much to be thankful for.

It can happen so fast, especially this time of year. Stress and lack of sleep can quickly run you down, and the next thing you know you're out of commission.

Don't let it happen to you.

Be prepared.

Have your essential oils on hand.
