25.01.2022 Sleep, elusive to many of us and one of the main issues that led me on the path of using essential oils. During lockdown I managed to put together my experiences, along with some research into the reasons and impact of sleep deprivation, into an ebook on Essential Oils and Sleep. I include some background on how essential oils work and how they can help you achieve improvement in sleeping habits and ultimately towards getting restful sleep, night after night. There are a numb...er of essential oils listed so you will be spoilt for choice so you can find the oil, blend or combination that suits you best. Please feel free to download my free ebook here https://overallwellness.com.au/download-sleep-and-essentia/ and I would love your feedback if you have the time. And if you have any more suggestions that you’d like me to include, please share them. I like to think of this as my lockdown baby #overallwellness #essentialoilsandsleep #freeebook #doterraaunz #essentialoils See more

24.01.2022 Wellbeing Wednesday for this young man and his favourite way to release his energy is on the trampoline. I wasn’t keen on having an extra day off for him in the middle of the week but I guess he needs it just as much as I do. What’s your favourite way to relax, unwind and expend some energy midweek? #overallwellness #wellbeingwednesday #trampoline #energy

22.01.2022 Happiness is..... learning to let go of what you can’t control. Do you agree? #overallwellness #emotionalhealth #faith #healthymindbodyandspirit #alhamdulillah #overallwellnessquotes

22.01.2022 It’s amazing how something as simple as being outside, enjoying some sunshine and the company of friends can have such an energising effect on our mood and mental wellbeing. I guess that’s the silver lining of the strict lockdown, gratitude for the little things. What a beautiful way to end the term. Thank you Nikki and Lucy for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon #overallwellness #mentalwellbeing #sunshine #zen #connection

21.01.2022 Forgot to share birthday pics this year - I was showered with love, pampering, delicious food and lots of hugs and kisses from my crew. Who says iso birthdays aren’t as good as regular birthdays? Pancakes & ice cream for breakfast, gourmet sandwiches & grazing box for lunch, and home made Mexican bowls for dinner (didn’t get a pic). Spent the whole day hanging out with the fam bam. Special shout out to @sajebakescake for her detectable baked cheesecake and @styledbysarangan for the very tasty sandwiches and grazing box. Feeling blessed #overallwellness #blessed #birthday #gratitude #family #isobirthday #alhamdulillah

20.01.2022 Spring is only days away and I’m looking forward to more sunshine and blossoming flowers so today I've chosen two mellow yet powerful oils to diffuse: Bergamot - the oil of self-acceptance, self-love and optimism, a citrus oil that is both soothing and uplifting; and Clary Sage, the oil of clarity and vision, allowing openness to new ideas and new perspectives. Both are powerful on an emotional level and help to sooth and relax you while encouraging clarity, creativity and re...leasing limiting beliefs. This blend is so sweet and soothing at the end of the day or even to start your morning with optimism. What's in your diffuser today? #overallwellness #spring #instagram #essentialoils #instapic #doterraaunz #diffuserblend #bergamotessentialoil #clarysageessentialoil #melbourne #theoilofselfacceptance #theoilofclarityandvision #optimism #soothing #uplifting See more

20.01.2022 SPRING CLEANING WITH ESSENTIAL OILS Many of the cleaning products on the market today are full of powerful yet potentially dangerous chemicals. While these products claim to provide effective cleansing benefits, they often contain synthetic chemicals and questionable ingredients that may put your family at risk when used around the home. The beauty of using essential oils for cleaning is that they only contain the natural chemical components originally found within the oil, s...o when used in proper quantities, they do not pose a risk and are safe to be used around the house. This is especially important if you have small children in the home, or just want to ensure that your family isn’t being exposed to unnecessary toxins and chemicals every day. Essential oils provide a safe and natural solution for keeping your home clean and smelling amazing! SO WHY CLEAN WITH ESSENTIAL OILS? Natural and safe to use in the home; Potent, powerful, and effective; Alternative to cleaning products with dangerous toxins and chemicals; Offers versatile options for cleaning; Creates a clean, inviting aroma (that you can change to suit your mood for the day!); Safe for the environment and the whole family; Can be cost effective when making your own products; Enable you to create a healthier environment in your home. The oils and blends I love to use for cleaning include: All the citrus oils: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Tangerine, Wild Orange - powerful cleansing and purifying properties; Clearify, Eucalyptus, On Guard, Purify, Tea Tree - powerful cleansing and purifying properties; Peppermint, Spearmint - wow factor! Citrus Bliss, Citrus Bloom, Lavender and Geranium - add an uplifting and refreshing aroma. I try to blend different combinations with each refill - so I’m never bored with the aroma. What are your favourite cleaning combos? #overallwellness #essentialoils #doterra #doterraaunz #spring #springcleaning #natural #cleaningwithessentialoils #nontoxicliving #wellness #naturalsolutions

19.01.2022 No New Years resolutions, no impossible promises. Just hope and faith in a new and happy 2021. Grateful for all that was and all that will be. The only way is up. What are your New Years resolutions? #happynewyear #overallwellness #happy2021 #nonewyearsresolution #hope #faith #alhamdulillah

19.01.2022 I stumbled across this quote by Rumi today and I had to read it a couple of times for it to sink in. In essence, patience is hope, gratitude and looking at the bigger picture. Just what I need right now. What do you think of this definition of patience? #overallwellness #patience #rumiquotes #instagram #overallwellnessquotes

17.01.2022 This month’s promotional oil is InTune Focus Blend - a proprietary blend of Amyris, Patchouli, Frankincense, Lime, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood and Roman Chamomile essential oils that enhance and sustain a sense of focus. No matter your age, staying focused on the task at hand can be difficult, especially when we have so many distractions and stressors. While it’s aroma can be polarising - you either love it or you hate it - it is an excellent study tool for all ages - school, uni...versity and beyond. Emotionally, InTune is the Oil of Presence as it quiets and grounds the mind - especially for those who have a short attention span. Calming and soothing while promoting a sense of clarity, it helps you to stay grounded. It is also useful to clear feelings of overwhelm or mental fatigue, prevent your mind from wandering, awaken and refresh your senses, and is a perfect accompaniment to meditation practice. It is best applied to the temples and back of the neck when performing tasks requiring concentration; to your wrists or back of hands and inhaling deeply to promote a sense of clarity; and it is perfect for a mid-afternoon perk-me-up if you’re feeling tired. I’ve been using it the last couple of days to help me focus whilst catching up on a leadership webinar series that I need to get through before the weekend and it has helped immensely. InTune Focus blend is 10% off during the month of September. #overallwellness #doterraintune #doterraaunz #focusblend #oilofpresence #askmehow

16.01.2022 I’ve been reflecting on what I miss the most since the start of lockdown and without a doubt it has been not being able to see friends (and hug them!) and having the freedom to travel. Doing video calls or zoom is a great option but it no way compensates for face-to-face interaction. Being able to travel anywhere is such a gift that I will never take for granted again. If I had to choose one place to visit in the next 6 months or whenever we can travel again, it would have to be beautiful Queenstown in New Zealand. It was breathtaking in every way. This photo does not even do it justice. Where would you love to travel to once international fights are back? #overallwellness #travel #queenstown #beautiful #travelphotography #gratitude #alhamdulillah #wheredoyouwanttogo

12.01.2022 Waking up to grey clouds and rain has a habit of dampening my mood but not today. Today there no rush or urgency in completing tasks for home learning or micromanaging anyone so I’m making some time for my mind. I’ve developed a habit of reading 3 books at once - I guess it’s an indicator of my scattered thoughts but it’s fun because I feel like I’m reading more. This weeks picks are quite varied: I’m re-reading the Harry Potter series which I started last week - I’m now reading the Chamber of Secrets; I’m re-reading Tuesdays with Morrie (absolutely brilliant book with beautiful insight into what makes life precious) and Force of Nature (crime fiction, my new love). What’s your go-to on cloudy days? #overallwellness #reading #mind #harrypotter #tuesdayswithmorrie #mitchalbom #forceofnature #janeharper #lovereading

12.01.2022 It’s the start of a new week but I already feel emotionally and mentally exhausted. I’m pulling the big guns out today - feeling flat, overwhelmed and I can feel some anxiousness creeping up. I’m now lathering myself between Hope (the blend of overcoming), Forgive (renewing blend) and Peace (reassuring blend) to help me get through the mountain of work and emotions. How do you manage your lows? #overallwellness #hope #doterraaunz #forgive #doterra #peace #manageyouremotions #theoilofovercoming #renewingblend #reassuringblend #healingwithessentialoils

11.01.2022 This is such a hard question to answer! I can’t just have one favourite surely? For blends I can narrow it down to just 3 : Balance, Easy Air and Whisper. For singles....hmmmm....Frankincense (the oil of truth) and Bergamot (the oil of self acceptance). If you had to choose just one - which oil or blend would be your all time favorite? #overallwellness #essentialoils #doterraaunz #favouriteessentialoil #lovemyoils

10.01.2022 Flashback to one of the highlights of 2019 and one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever done: white water rafting in Bali. The day was filled with lots of screaming, laughing and being soaked to the core but definitely an amazing memory to look back on. Can’t wait to do it again one day - maybe next time we can try the intermediate version What is your most memorable moment pre-covid lockdown? #overallwellness #whitewaterrafting #bali #2019 #lifebeforecovid19 #family #fun #travelphotography #instagram #instapic #travel #familytime #cantwaittotravelagain

09.01.2022 Another switch to a non-toxic product that we made over 5 years ago is liquid soap. We ditched the synthetic and fragrance filled soaps with doTERRA On Guard Foaming Hand Wash. Why? On Guard Foaming Hand Wash: Is a gentle alternative to harsh soaps; Does not dryor irritate sensitive skin;... Is pH balanced to protect your skin’s moisture barriers; Has an invigorating aroma; Is fortified with On Guard Protective blend of essential oils; Cleans and softens hands, leaving them smelling fresh and citrusy; Is free of toxic chemical additives that are found in most hand washes. Need I say more? #overallwellness #doterraaunz #onguardhandwash #doterramum #naturalalternatives #nontoxicliving

09.01.2022 I’m not going to sugar coat it - but I truly believe that stuffing up is human. Not going to overthink, just chalk it up to experience and move on. Yay or nay? #overallwellness #stuffingupishuman #overallwellnessquotes #happinessis #learningfromyourmistakes

08.01.2022 I have a confession to make: I don’t like sharing photos of myself. That’s been one of the hardest things to battle since I started this business. And it’s something I still struggle with. But as the adage goes, I need to step out of my comfort zone for the magic to happen. So here goes What’s your most recent out of comfort zone action and what made you do it? #overallwellness #comfortzone #dontlikeselfies #thisisme

07.01.2022 My world I sometimes wish I could have kept them at this age just a wee bit longer but sadly time stands still for no one. Blessed and grateful beyond measure to be a mum to these not-so-little-anymore peeps. What are you grateful for today? #overallwellness #gratitude #alhamdulillah #family #mumlife

04.01.2022 Healing my toxic relationship with food starts now. It has taken me years to finally realize that weight loss is not just about what I eat. Mindset is just as critical. So too is my relationship with food, which I’ve finally acknowledged, is very toxic. I thought my weakness was sweets and carbs and that simply abstaining from them and doing some exercise would fix that. After much soul searching I discovered that not only was I using food for comfort but bizarrely as a way t...o punish myself. Self sabotage at its finest. My dad taught me that we should only use food as fuel - the whole eat to live not live to eat. At the same time, I grew up with a diabetic mum who struggled to manage her sugar intake and spent most of her adult life yo-yo dieting. It’s no secret which methodology I inherited. I am by no means blaming my mum for my battles with food, rather acknowledging that it did play a huge role in my food mindset overall. I also acknowledge that this is my journey and to not compare myself to anyone else. Self esteem and low self worth have also been huge triggers for binge eating and deliberately making bad food choices. Right now I want to make a conscious effort to re-wire or rewrite or simply heal this toxic relationship with food so it can serve me and my body better. I acknowledge that I have a lot to work on and it will be a long and winding journey but I honestly think it’s time I honour this body I have been given and finally treat it with the love and respect it deserves. My faith teaches that our body and our health are blessings given in trust and that we have a moral responsibility to protect it from harm. I thought I would to start by revisiting this book by @thichnhathanh and @drliliancheung on mindful eating to awaken my food consciousness. This is just the beginning and hopefully, the only way is up. #overallwellness #mindfuleating #healing #toxicrelationshipwithfood #accountability #takingresponsibility #selflove #selfworth See more

04.01.2022 What is it about the beauty of nature that invokes a sense of calm? SubhanAllah, so soothing. This reflection led me to explore the definition of calm: (adjective) not showing or feeling nervousness, anger, or other strong emotions; (verb) make (someone) tranquil and quiet; soothe. Absolutely. What invokes a sense of calm for you? #overallwellness #calm #soothing #nature #subhanallah #beautyinnature

03.01.2022 R U OK? It’s R U Ok day today - and every day. Three simple words can make all the difference to someone. It’s an extra stressful time for everyone at the moment but for some more than others. They say that there’s usually no signs or warnings of severe depression or mental stress or the myriad of mental health conditions. That’s because most people who are in this state don’t want anyone to know or realize that they are. Don’t wait to see the signs. Check in, call, visit (if you can), send a text even. The worst that can happen is they say they’re fine. The best case scenario is they know that you care enough to ask. And most importantly, say it like you really mean it Who is going to join me? #ruok #overallwellness #mentalhealthawareness #wellness #weareallinthistogether #love

03.01.2022 Being fully present is not always an easy task but it sure is liberating when you are. I’ve found that just being present with my thoughts is immensely empowering. Sometimes I don’t want to because it can be confronting but I’ve learnt to accept this is all a part of growth. Do you allow time to be present with your thoughts on demand or let it happen organically? #overallwellness #beingpresent #consciousthoughts #alhamdulillah #healthymindhealthybody #instagram #overallwellnessquotes

03.01.2022 Homemade beef burgers in a charcoal brioche bun with homemade sweet potato fries (oven baked of course!)....YUMMMM. What’s for dinner tonight for you? #overallwellness #homemadeburgers #melbourne #isodinner #melbournefood

03.01.2022 I love the versatility of the King of Oils, Frankincense - especially when it comes to using it for skin. One of my favourite uses for it at the moment is adding it to my daily skin routine - it is so soothing and nourishing, whilst being gentle too. I alternate with moisturizer either in the morning or the evening or both of my skin really needs attention. What is your favourite use for frankincense? #overallwellness #frankincenseessentialoil #naturalskinserum #kingofoils #doterraaunz #usingessentialoils

28.12.2021 Essential Oils and Sleep. Just as sleep deprivation can lead to health risks and other negative impacts on the body and brain, getting a good nights sleep helps the body recuperate and prepare for another day. With proper sleep, you’ll have the mental alertness and control over your emotions needed to tackle the challenges of each day. Rather than jeopardising or attacking the systems of the body, you can help rejuvenate the body and promote overall wellness by getting qualit...y, consistent sleep. Good sleeping habits can improve quality of life and overall health. For many people, getting better sleep isn’t simply a matter of going to bed earlier or rearranging their schedule. Many adults have the best intentions of getting good sleep, but their plans are thwarted when they can’t get their brain or their body to settle down. There are dozens of remedies, products, and approaches that claim to help promote sleep. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their calming and soothing properties that can help relax the body and mind. It is important to remember though that what works for one person might not work for another so it is worth trying a few to see what works for you. And this is the main reason I created my ebook on using essential oils to help get that often elusive good nights sleep! This photo is an excerpt from the ebook on how essential oils actually can assist. You can download the free complete ebook here: https://overallwellness.com.au/download-sleep-and-essentia/ What are your favourite sleep supporting oils or blends? Mine are Adaptiv, Balance and Lavender Peace #overallwellness #wellness #sleep #essentialoils #ebook #freebie #freeebook #sleepdeprivation #naturaltherapies #bettersleep #essentialoilsandsleep

24.12.2021 A question I’m often asked is cooking with essential oils safe? While some are skeptical about the consumption of essential oils, internal usage of essential oils has actually been in practice for centuries, and is not a mysterious new trend. People have successfully and safely consumed essential oils for many years, and the key to safe use is following proper safety guidelines. Like any substance, essential oils only present risks when used improperly or in incorrect amounts.... You likely already consume small amounts of essential oils in your diet. Because essential oils are taken from plants, fruits, and natural substances, the body is well equipped to process them. Fruits, plant parts, and extracts are already a regular part of our diets, which makes it safe for the body to consume essential oils internally and process them properly. Like other things we consume, essential oils are ingested through the digestive system, enter the bloodstream, and can then be metabolised by the organs. Because our body is able to easily process and metabolise essential oils, cooking with oils is a simple way to enrich the food we eat every day. Just make sure you choose essential oils that are safe for internal use (always read the label). Before adding essential oils to your food, make sure that each oil you intend to use has been approved for safe consumption and internal use. I personally love using lemon, lime or wild orange in baking. My favourite recipe is gluten free orange cacao muffins using wild orange essential oil. The recipe is in the comments. Which oils have you used in cooking or baking? #overallwellness #cookingwithessentialoils #cooking #food #foodie #instafood #foodphotography #homemade #yummy #foodstagram #delicious #foodlover #healthyfood #tasty #instagood #homecooking #baking #cookingathome #foodies #eat #healthy #essentialoils #glutenfreemuffins #glutenfree

14.12.2021 A very important component of using essential oils topically is the use of a carrier oil. They are termed carrier oils because they carry essential oils to the skin. Fractionated coconut oil (FCO) is the most common carrier oil used in aromatherapy as it's not greasy, is very hydrating, doesn't leave any oily residue on your skin and since it's had all the fat removed, has no scent (for those with noses sensitive to the smell of coconut, like me!) Completely soluble with a...ll essential oils, Fractionated Coconut Oil is an excellent carrier oil that absorbs quickly and won’t clog pores. Use it to blend essential oils before applying them topically to your skin. It increases the distribution of essential oils so you can cover a larger surface area, and carries the essential oils deeper into the layers of the epidermis, without reducing their efficacy. It minimizes skin sensitivity, and it also softens the skin This amazing carrier oil is extremely versatile and can be used for everything from makeup remover to massage therapy. Here are just 12 common uses. How do you use Fractionated Coconut Oil? #overallwellness #fractionatedcoconutoil #fco #doterraaunz #carrieroils #usingessentialoils #essentialoilusage #doterraaustralia #melbourne
