23.01.2022 Working in the garden and working on a healthier lifestyle. What we place in and on our body is so so important! We are exposed to so many toxins and unwanted/unnecessary ingredients during the day: in the air, in the processed food we buy, in fresh items we purchase in the form of pesticides, in drink water to keep it 'healthy' and clean, in meat to keep the animals healthy and strong, in skin care products, etc.... Our body, our bodies cells need clean building materials to function properly, to produce energy, to keep us healthy. We can not control everything in the world, however we can control a few things. Buying organic food or growing your own organic food for instance. They are full of flavour, all goodness of nature to nourish your body, your cells.
23.01.2022 There are several ways to take oils internally; you can cook with the oils, take them in beverages, or put them in a veggie capsule to swallow. Using oils internally is a method that is best used only when you have a specific area of concern that can only be met by ingesting the essential oil. Keep in mind that you only need a drop or two at a time to reap the benefits of the oil. To learn more check out this blog post. https://www.doterra.com//healthy-living-reasons-to-use-oil
22.01.2022 Not feeling to motivated to do exercise today? Grab out your Motivate Touch (Motivate diluted with a carrier oil), apply it to your wrists and in your neck and join me in this quick and energizing workout. You can really feel the difference after using the oil blend... feel how motivated you are? Okay the workout:... First let's loosen the muscles by walking/ jogging a few circles in the back yard (or even around the living room) and then... * wall sit for 30secondes * 50 star jumps * V-sit (at you own level) for 30 seconds * Plank hold for 30 seconds * 60 Mountain climbers * 10 push-ups (with the dog if it happens like that ;-) ) * High knees for 30 seconds * Side lunges each side 5. How are you feeling after this?
22.01.2022 Coming up very soon! This wonderful class: Managing emotional highs and lows using essential oils with ready to use tips and tricks. See you there!
22.01.2022 Since midway 2020 a lot has changed in our lives... Yes, we were on a great natural and healthy lifestyle journey/path, however during lock down I personally experienced some very challenging days... Days I needed to be there for the children and also wanted to be there for them and at the same time wanted to scream at the top of my lungs as I felt there was absolutely no room for me, my time or my space.... we were all inside together; 6 people, 3 bedrooms. ... Most days went really well, though the days that were challenging were really challenging internally. It was then that I found the power of meditation... and early mornings ;-) Every morning I would get up well before the others (still do) to meditate, to claim time for myself, to do my energy medicine exercises and with great success <3 During the day I could feel the internal frustration drop down, the immediate flight/fight/freeze reactions become less and less and a more kind and calm Karen come back to this body. Without fail I use an essential oil every morning. Most of the times I use Frankincense, Sandalwood or a blend with these oils n them. Sometimes I use citrus oils (mainly when gratitude and happiness are focus of my meditation) They make the experience so much more deep and alive. Which oils do you prefer to use. Or, if you do not use any essential oils now, which one would you like to try? Much love, Karen
20.01.2022 Some fun with the family! Trying out different posses, inventing new ones and having a ball rolling over. Pretty impressive how much those kids dare and trust us to do some of these impressive moves. Love that quality time together... belly laughs, falls and all. Let's shake things up!
20.01.2022 Sugar... you find it in nearly everything these days down to cat food!! In our journey to a better lifestyle that fits our family this is something we are very aware of. No, we have not cut back on all sugars, however we have made a huge difference in the intake. Why do we find it important to cut back on sugar? Well there are many reasons. Sugar being an addictive substance is one of them. Have you ever noticed that eating a treat doesn't stop there? It leads to eating anoth...er, and another, etc. Your body starts to crave sugar and sugar is so bad for your body. This doTERRA Blog about Sugar Detox with Essential Oils is giving you some really good insight on how sugar can damage your body and how you can turn this around: https://www.doterra.com//healthy-living-sugar-detox-with-e Enjoy the read!
19.01.2022 Some working together time on this relaxing colouring in sheet for this afternoon.
19.01.2022 Last Sunday was father's day, a beautiful and sunny day. It was also the day where the road map to ease restrictions was made clear to us. I had to swallow hard, swallow that lump down, swallow the tears away... and I know for sure I was not and am not the only one here. ... Those are things I can't control. It is so important at this moment to focus on the things we can control; our well being, our mindset! Yoga, using our oils kind of non-stop to uplift and support, Meditation, working outside in nature as much as we can, doing the things we are allowed to do and enjoy them. I know that I am actively looking for the things that bring me joy, laughter and happiness. For instance today; seeing the seeds sprout and peeking through the earth to say hello :-) Be mindful now... Raise your vibration... grab your oils to help you do this... they are truly amazing!

18.01.2022 Supporting our fur baby with natural and cost effective solutions just as we are supporting ourselves The girls are using Copaiba oil; an oil we have received for free this month. It came with 2 other products! They can be for free for you as well, just ask us how Copaiba is an amazing oil, a versatile oil. It's a powerful antioxidant.... This oil helps with: Healthy inflammatory response Supports the protective barrier of our bodies Relaxes sore muscles and joints Promotes lymphatic system Foundation for cellular health Eases the urinary tract Eases digestive tract Supports the hepatic system (very interesting!) Calms the nervous system We always dilute the oils when we are using them on ourselves. When it comes to Skittles we make sure we dilute even more. Like we mentioned at the top: fur BABY, so we dilute for a baby . Needless to say Skittles loved her pampering session. She is a very active dog, always on her feet, always running and jumping, being one of the kids... This way we are supporting her active body
18.01.2022 Tuesday cleaning tip off: Knowing that we use harsh chemical free products in our house to clean surfaces is such a relief to us. Not only is it now so much easier, healthier and simpler to clean this way, it is also in many cases a tool I can safely place in the hands of our children. in fact, they help clean around the house using these products. Something in the past I would not have considered.... doTERRA has really changed our way of living into a clean, and healthy lifestyle.

17.01.2022 Self care Sunday Over the past few weeks I have had a problem coming on with my foot. Don't ask me how it started, what I did wrong, when it started as I really can not give you a satisfying answer... What I can tell you is what I have been doing to support the outer part of my foot ... When the pain was becoming that much (yes, I didn't listen early enough to my body ) that I needed to do something I started by applying lemongrass, copaiba and Ice Blue rub. However very quickly after that I could feel that the underside of my foot was feeling thicker, like it was raised and I understood I had something like inflammation going on. Still determined to work at it with what I had (reiki, oils) I continued by adding Copaiba softgels (nervous system) and Turmeric dual capsules (with my main goal to get that inflammation gone knowing turmeric is know to help with this) to my daily practice. Yes!! That did the trick, as in it did not become any worse and it was actually becoming less This week though I had enough of the part that was still lingering so I finally made the decision to make an appointment at the doctors. X-ray and blood tests have been done and now I am waiting for the result to come back to me. In the meantime I keep on taking the Turmeric dual capsules as well as Copaiba softgels and rubbing in the oils as they truly support me at this stage and making the pain and discomfort less and less. So for Sunday self care. When you feel something coming on, don't ignore it, even if it is a little niggle. Support your body and don't let it grow into a bigger issue! Much love, Karen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vrRfep3bVE

15.01.2022 So immensely excited about this new starter kit!! The Emotional Wellness Starter Pack. What a great pack this is, oh if you could see my face at this moment you would laugh... no for real ... This beautiful emotional pack has finally become available as a starter pack with the addition of ADAPTIV and a diffuser. Oh my gosh, this is such an amazing kit! Balance: I start and end my day with this on. A quick roll under the soles of my feet to balance me out. Skittles our dog gets a little hit before we go walking to help her calm her excitement. Baths taken with Balance infused bath salts are also bloody amazing Elevation: A beautiful perfume to uplift the senses, to help the smiles along. This one was a great support to me when my father passed away. I love to combine this one with OnGuard in the diffuser Lavender Peace: All things calming. This blend does not only have lavender in it, it also had Vetiver, Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile and many more great oils to help our bodies and mind calm. Great for Infused bath salts, diffuser at night time, during the day to instill that peaceful feeling Citrus Bliss: Oh talk about happy, happy, happy feeling! Beautiful citrus oils combined with Vanilla, it's just simply the best! Another great one to use in the diffuser to help uplift the mood and we like to combine this one with OnGuard as well ADAPTIV: The name of the bottle says it already; it helps us, supports us in adapting. For myself and the family it is a wonderful scent giving us so much calm and secure feelings. It is by far the most wanted oil by the children at the moment with remote learning. I dare even say that on the days we do not have our diffuser on we have upset children Grab your starter pack today and experience yourself how it can help you and your loved ones!
15.01.2022 As I am sitting here writing this post I am hooked up to my frequency device. Keeping our vibration high is so important in our family, in our life. The higher your vibration, the higher your immune system, your body's defenses. We use meditation, crystal, essential oils, nature walks to name a few for this. Since not to long we have also included this beautiful device which helps us keep vibration high... pulling out all the tools from our toolbox ... Anyway, the program I am running at the moment; Deep cycle... WOW! Amazing, I love it, the tingles, the ripple effect through my body, the change First time I am using this program today, though rest assured won't be the last time! I am woman... hear me roar! Much love, Karen

12.01.2022 Have some fun on this wonderful Saturday! A word search I made for you... enjoy!
10.01.2022 At the moment I am reading 'The power is withing you' from Louise L. Hay. What a beautiful woman this is and what wisdom did she have to share. At home we often talk about how words (spoken and unspoken) can have a big impact on you and others in many ways. To always be kind with your words. After reading the part I isolated below I thought it was such a wonderful way to explain this in another way to the children. You should have seen the 4 sitting around me and taking it all in. Since then we are reminding each other to create the sea we want to create for ourselves and for others
10.01.2022 The other day our day started with a shock to the system! One of the door handles broke in half. We can live with that part, though our youngest was locked on the inside and what I didn't know was that her hand was bleeding from a nasty cut caused by the broken shards of that door knob! By the time we had the door open I looked into a super pale face... she was holding her hand up with a little puddle of blood. Slowly we went to the sink and washed her hand.... All of a sudden she said was: 'Whats happening? I can't see!' I had to catch her in my arms to prevent her from falling onto the floor. Weak and motionless she was hanging off me and of course every bloody furniture piece is in the way when you just want to go to the couch and lay her down. One of our boys rushed over saying: 'Mum, here is your glue oil (helichrisum diluted)'. After checking if C was okay (other than looking immensely pale, sweaty and cold feeling) and examining if the wound was clean, I applied the glue oil on her hand which immediately helped and stopped the bleeding. Then I thought she needs oxygen to flow in, expand her lungs, so we let her smell the Easy Air which she was happy to smell. She was getting a little colour back into her lips. Once she said she was doing a bit better and could see me again I grabbed the ADAPTIV out. She was scared, she was feeling anxious of what was happening and what could happen. As soon as the ADAPTIV was in front of her nose she took a huge breath in and let go of so much tension! Needless to say we then applied this oil just about everywhere except for the hand... Inhaling it myself had the same effect and yes I needed it too. She is fine now, jumping around and even a band aid is not needed. We are truly grateful to have these oils in our lives to help us, support us in the smaller and the bigger things in our daily adventures, especially that day! They give us so much to work with
10.01.2022 Hence why we are always excited :-D

08.01.2022 Time for some zzzz's? One of our favourite diffuser blends we have in our family: Sleepy time diffuser blend. The sweet yet soft scent of Roman Chamomile, combined with the grounding effects Vetiver has to offer and to top it all off Lavender for all things calming and soothing. Magical experience and one you should definitely try!... We actually made a master blend bottle with equal parts of the oils in it so it is easy to add just 1 drop at night time instead of needing 1 drop of each oil. Try it... it's so amazing!
08.01.2022 Reiki; Universal life force energy Reiki is a powerful and natural healing modality that is used to bring balance, clarity and healing to all living things. It can be applied to people of all ages, animals, plants and even to our precious planet, Earth. The many benefits of Reiki:... * The Universal life energy within you is essential for your health and well-being. * In order to balance your life flow, it is necessary to restore vital energy, which can become depleted through stress and the daily routines of modern life. * The regular practice of receiving Reiki assists in maintaining a positive state of well being and prevents health disorders, regardless of a person's age. * and much more Personally Reiki has given me so much more confidence in myself, so much more peace within myself. Living on the other side of the planet to my birth family does give me some challenging times especially when it comes to illnesses from family members. To know that I can connect with them on a different level, an energy level and make a difference this way is all empowering. It doesn't stop there though. Pets love Reiki too! Skittles lays down for a beautiful treatment and takes it all in and our tree that was not doing very well in our backyard has received a few sessions as well and is doing so well at the moment! Lush green leaves and a healthy looking plant Interested in experiencing Reiki for yourself?: There are some time slots available this week to receive a beautiful and powerful Reiki session of 60+ minutes. Monday 11.30am Thursday 9.30am or 1pm Friday 11.30am and 1pm For more possibilities please contact me. Looking forward to working with you. Much love, Karen

07.01.2022 I have been a little absent this week... Sunday's adventure ended up with me in stitches... literally... I had opened up my hand rather deep which needed some medical attention.... I am okay, all fingers still working, all is healing and how can it not be with all the tools we have in our tool kit. Stitches and medical treatment Oils to calm (ADAPTIV is the savior here) Oils to support the healing process (Helichrysum among others) Healy for frequencies Reiki for speedy recovery The injury did prevent me to do all things I usually do. I could still do everything though in a much slower tempo and this also forced me to look at what was really needed at this moment. Happy to say it is all slowly going in the right direction now. I saw the nurse for a redress and examination of the wound. It looks so good! I will probably do a redress today myself as the protection is starting to look a little dirty. The wound is closed and Monday the stitches can come out. I will be as good as new Love how we can combine modern medicine and nature to support ourselves on so many levels Much love, Karen
06.01.2022 So love it when people are having a great experience using our oils! In this case not only the people are benefiting, but also their dog. Just a little goes a long way.

03.01.2022 This Sunday we have this amazing class running: Managing emotional highs and lows using essential oils. There will be a lot of ready to use information shared with all. Keeping it real!
02.01.2022 Sunday Self care. Do you know what I really enjoy as a self care routine? Getting up at least an hour before anyone else does and do my meditation(s).... Sometimes I put on a guided meditation, sometimes I guide myself and sometimes it is just ultimate silence. Prior to starting I place some essential oils in the diffuser (most of the time a blend with Frankincense) and I add some Frankincense to me as well. Then I light my candle on the table, sit myself in a comfortable position and let the meditation begin. When coming out of the meditation I feel so refreshed, awake and ready to start the day In the afternoon I try and do the same, though the peace and quiet is not fully the same . Even so I come out of the meditation refreshed and with good energy to go through the rest of the day. Of course I can't skip the evening meditation prior to going to sleep to have a wonderful and relaxing night's rest. Have you tried meditation before? Much love, Karen
