Happy New Year From Jamie From Dragonfly and Spruce
Oh my gosh! Happy new year to you all. I know that we all say it, but it feels like the years are just flying by at top speed anymore. Please tell me that I am not the only one that feels that way. I had to actually pull out my calculator the other day because I seriously was second guessing my age. I have lost track.
Sorry I digress…….
I will be hanging out here at PB&W quite a bit this week. Actually, I will be popping in every day.
Because it is the first day of the new year, right? Resolutions are set!!! It’s going to be a good year, my will power is in check……and by 8:00 am it all flies out the window because I am headed to the drive through donut shoppe to grab a chocolate bar. Crap. That wasn’t on the agenda.
My need for chocolate bars is overwhelming, I will get there one day though. One of my resolutions that has been easier to keep however, is the overall general heath and wellness of my family. I have talked a bit about it before, but because I’ll be hanging around all week, I can explain a little more in detail. Break down the intrigue that is: essential oils.
You know you have heard of them. You know you have had friends that have drank the kool- aide. And you may be wondering what the hype is and when the fad will fade. Or if it is a hoax or a placebo But I will tell you, that I think they are here to stay. Often times people ask me “Do those oils actually work? I thought the same thing too. Until I tried them.
And then I did some research. Because, ya know, science.
Did you know that our skin absorbs nearly 60 percent of all topical ingredients we put on our bodies within seconds.
Did you also know that average woman wears nearly 515 chemicals per day. Toxic Chemicals. Gross. And that is where my journey began as an esthetician no longer able to turn a bind eye to what I was using and what I was caving my clients to use. Utilizing essential oils in my skincare routine. Teaching friends how to use oils in their skin care routine, and in their bedtime routine, and their coffee routine, and in their toddlers tantrum routine….catch my drift? There are a lot of routines that can use a boost.
Stay tuned this week, because I am so excited to chat with you a little more about these amazing oils and what they can do for your family. I have spent 3 years researching them and I feel like I have only begun to scratch the surface.

My coworkers use essential oils and have great things to say about it. I would love to try using them myself.

Our neighbor turned my kids on to the essential oils. They loved the peppermint for when one had a headache.
