24.01.2022 The definition of HOPE is; a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen. Today is World Day against Human Trafficking. Did you know that Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world. Of the estimated 30 million (that is not a typo) people enslaved in the world, 10 million are children. I used to think "as a mother I cannot bear this thought", but as a HUMAN I cannot bear this thought. You dont need to have children to ...feel the atrocity of this. When I started using doTERRA oils I was lucky to be introduced to Tim Ballard and the O.U.R Operation Underground Rescue Organisation. He spoke at our global convention & also came to Australia. When you hear him say that child sex trafficking is so much more lucrative to criminals because you can "sell" a child 5-10x a day 7 days a week, compared to say a one time drug sale where you have to keep supply up. Also the "demand" for children is exponential. I tell you the world starts spinning and your Hopelessness about this situation is something I feel daily. Also rage. ALOT of rage. How?? WHY?? And again HOW can people do this to others. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN! I dont have an answer. But I know that organisations like O.U.R dont need my despair. They need my support, and they need my money! doTERRA healing hands have announced that they will match all purchases made of our HOPE oil (clink link in my bio to learn more about this!). The full $26 purchase price is donated and itll become $52! I have 5804 followers here on my Facebook, if we all bought 1 bottle of hope that would be $301,808 donated! In a $150 billion dollar industry, we need everything we have to fight it. So im dropping the hoplessness and getting some HOPE, because I absolutely have an expectation/desire for this to END! Please donate. Either directly to O.U.R, or buying a HOPE roller. And lets get LOUD!

23.01.2022 THIS IS NOT SELF CARE// dont get me wrong, I love a good bath with epsoms salts & essential oils as much as the next person. When I think of relaxing, I definutely think of a nice bath, or maybe a massage, getting my nails done. But it is not my definition of self care. When I think of self care I think of voluntary payments to my super. I think of paying my RAC road side assist payment so I can feel extra safe when travelling with family. I think of paying my health insu...rance premiums. I feel somewhere we lost an idea of what self care was, and the basic sanitary action of having a bath suddenly became a ritualistic decandent self care goal. I think we can get caught up in the idea of what self care is and mistake it for pampering or relaxation. When there are stressful, very boring and un-sexy things that are some of the highest self care habits you can get into. My non-insta pic worthy top self care practices include Saying NO Reconciling my accounts in Xero & staying up to date with my all my taxes & financials Having my own income and prioritising my work when I need to Going to bed early My daily LLV Supplements and using my oils every single day (not just for baths!) Hiring a cleaner Just to name a few. I'd love know what some of your un-glamourous non insta worthy self care practices are. (Newsflash - these ARE the things I wish I saw more celebrated on social media) So lets share & celebratejust how neccessary and loving to our future self these are See more

22.01.2022 HEY// It's been almost 6 weeks since I last posted on my feed. I'd totally love for my first post back to be somewhat poetic and sum up all the feelings and just ALLLLL THE THINGS, but I dont think I could do that even with out the Insta word limit Not to mention somedays the most poetic thing I can come up with is WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???? So maybe I'll just share one thing that has never been clearer to me. Representation MATTERS! Honestly- I find this online well...ness industry a bit of a mind fuck to navigate as a Mori woman. Did you know it took me SOoooooo long to start my network marketing business because seriously - WHERE ARE ALL THE BROWN FACES? I'm not here to argue or even explain why this was and still is an issue, especially to someone who sees themselves represented in every company magazine, every event promotion, leadership event, speaking on stage, and in the corporate teams of all these companies. Who has never scanned a room of your peers and thought, wow, just me then. I took so long to start my business because nothing said there was a place for me or people that look like me. Until I realised, well fuck, I'm just gonna have to MAKE room. It pisses me off I wasted time because of this and its one of the reasons I show up here on my insta stories everyday! I see you friend I don't pretend to speak for all BIPOC, but I know the responsibility MANY of us feel. It's never just about us individually succeeding, but that we are also creating space & pathways for ALL of us to succeed. #itsmorethanjustme. And its THIS mindest that makes us such NATURALS at this! Please DO NOT spend another second wondering or delaying or second guessing yourself, because YOU BELONG HERE and I for damn sure, CANNOT wait to be celebrating you Shout out to all the BIPOC creating space in this online wellness world. You inspire me on the daily #representationmatters See more

12.01.2022 Every single time!!

08.01.2022 Its fly out day tomorrow, and while the FIFO life can suck, we are used to it & find more we do love about it than we dont. . . I always get asked about my husbands swings. How we handle it and whats the hardest part. There are so many layers of hard. Some things I struggle with, someone else would breeze through and vice versa, so this is just me. .... . The truth is, for me, I can handle any swing. Its fine. We have done years at 4 weeks away, 1 week home. We then did years as 26 days away, 10 home. We have even done 5 weeks away and 2 home. Its the unknown inconsistent rosters I just cant. 100% I would take those long swings all day every day over the unknown. . . Last year hubby didnt have a set roster and it totally fucked me up. To have him leave the house and tell me he would be gone for 2 weeks. I would mentally prepare for 2 weeks, not a day more. Id organise work events and birthday parties and playdates for the week he was home. Id live our life. Then 5 days later he would call and say he was going to stay on for 2 more weeks, or 4 more weeks. Id be sad, but Id adapt, Id reschedule. Then 1 week later and he tells me he is actually home in 2 days . . Sometimes he would come home & supposed to be there for a week only to leave 3 days later. Sometimes it meant MORE time home, sometimes it meant LESS. . . To me it didnt the matter. The time was irrelevant. The not knowing made all the things I find hard about FIFO - HARDER. People think Im crazy, but honestly, give me routine & regular 4 weeks away and only 1 week home and Id be happy if it was consistent! . . 2019 was the hardest year for me in the way that I never felt in control. I never felt like I could make plans and that my life was in a constant state if limbo. Swinging between gratitude for so much work and pity feeling sorry for myself! The irony isnt lost on me that 2020 is the year he switched to regular roster & I got some consistency back, at the precise time the whole world went into the limbo, "everything paused" life. . . Where my FIFO families at? Do you agree? Consistency is best? Or you love the randomness? See more

07.01.2022 DDR PRIME - my "if you were deserted on an island and could only take one oil" blend. If you have followed along for a while you will know how pivotal this oil is in supporting my daughter's speech journey. You can only get this blend from our US store and with the current exchange rate it can be a bit OUCH! ... You also cant easily replicate the blend as it has two oils not for sale by doterra. However, lucky for us - this year has seen us spoiled with these oils available for FREE as our May & July product of the month!! So that means if you got the POMs you could try a DIY version of your own Obviously it won't be expertly blended like the doterra original because they're the experts! But definitely worth trying a DIY version so you don't have to wait for it to arrive from the US. We can't ever know the exact ratios in our proprietary blends, but the oils are listed in order from highest quantity downwards. So while waiting for a new bottle to arrive from the US, this would be a perfect stand in roller, or for those that have never tried it, a great way to try it out and see how it works for your family! I have done 5 drops frankincense, 3 drops of Wild Orange & Litsea and then 1 drop of each of the remaining oils, then split it over 2 rollers so it can be diluted to her age. We also add Copaiba to our speech blend so I have added that and topped up with fractionated coconut oil and we apply every morning :) PSA - dont forget, if you're wanting to try out this blend then tonight is the last day to nab your free Summer Savoury with a 125pv loyalty rewards order.

07.01.2022 COLOUR REVEAL// The Advocate Planner coming to you in 5 different colours!! Not only did I want a planner that was fun & functional, I also wanted some visual inspiration! I remember when we were working towards Diamond and how much having the visual inspo motivated me. I had one of those pens with a diamond on top, I played Rhianna "Shine Bright like a Diamond" on youtube, I had diamond outlines all over my house and I would colour them in with light blue pencils as every b...it of volume came through. I had blue on my vision board, diamonds as my phone wallpaper and computer screen. Basically if I could make something blue, I did! And then even after we made it, I didnt really FEEL the excitement until I saw those little icons in the back office change colour (who can relate?? ). It wasnt real until I finally saw that blue, the silvers and those extra yellows pop up #woohoo So these planners are also the perfect gift to not only celebrate rank , but also for teams planning to rank up together! #90daysofmagic #teamworkisthedreamwork Which is why there are multiple buy savings to support all the amazing leaders in our biz! Be sure to sign up to the pre-sale waitlist at www.theadvocateplanner.com, as launch details with discount codes will be emailed out 48hrs before being announced online. With limited print numbers, its first in best dressed, so dont forget to add your deets to stay in the loop. Cannot wait for October! X

05.01.2022 Wow! The accuracy! #whoswithme I applaud families that take their kids out to restaurants. We are NOT one of those families! This is a MILD version of our previous attempts lol! I cannot wait for the time we can all eat hot food as a family :) ... https://www.facebook.com/jimmyreesofficial/videos/1352121848325417/

04.01.2022 This week I was asked to write down my core values & the core values of my business. I thought, geeez, at least buy me a drink before trying to get all deep & meaningful on me ploise! But, it's pretty simple really. There are alot of things I value, and non negotiables in my businesses, but this right here sums it up pretty well for me. If you can be this for someone, take my advice and be it. There is no feeling better! ... I would love to hear yours Repost @businesschicks

03.01.2022 Are you sick of people taking your ideas? Well what are you doing about it? Let me clarify first, Im not talking about that boss or work colleague who takes credit for your ideas/work in front of others or that person in your industry that copies & pastes EVERY.DAMN.THING you do. Sorry, they suck & there will always be douchebags. ... I'M talking about the coulda, woulda, shouldas. You know, those fantastic ideas you have and you might even get as far as planning them out or taking the first few steps to making them happen, but every single time, someone tells you its stupid or will never work, or maybe try it when youre not so busy, so you listen, and you dont. Then you see someone else do EXACTLY what you had been thinking of (sometimes been THINKING of for YEARS) and you think to yourself "Fuck, That was MY idea" (cue PITY PARTY) I know, because this used to be me. And I am like a vending machine when it comes to ideas, pop in the problem and Ill spit out a solution. I love problem solving & tweaking how we do things. So what changed? Cliche sounding I know, but I joined doTERRA and when I found a community of problem solvers AND action takers I realised Everyone has ideas. But the "best" ideas aint worth jack if you never do anything about it People can LOVE you and not support you, and its got nothing to do with YOU. Fear can speak louder than love 99% of the time friends & family are NOT your target market. So stop trying to get 99% approval Action breeds more ideas! JUST START! Action brings ideas to life more than planning ever could There will always be people that dont like what you do whether its chasing your dream or staying safe in their acceptable little box. So why not do what you want? There is a reason why you see so many successful network marketers build additional businesses! The ideas have ALWAYS been there, but perhaps not the right support. Like a dope AF cheer squad. Spend a little time in our community and youll know what Im talking about. So if you're sick of seeing other people making magic out of "your" ideas, what you gonna do about it? Id love to hear your thoughts

03.01.2022 2289 days later and it looks like I finally have my boobs back. As much as I was ready to stop, I am really going to miss those quiet times with the babes! Not so much the nipple twisting, hair pulling or treating mum like a jungle gym lol. But definitely those mid afternoon feeds where they would jump up for a cuddle and Id get to watch them drift off to sleep. So, while I was expecting those emotions I didnt realise this end of an era might be painful in more ways than o...ne! Yesterday was a whole lotta OUCH and feeling the hot burn in the boob! Always grateful to have so many helpful peeps in our community! A bit of expressing, hot compress & a peppermint (20 ) + copaiba (10 ) 15 ml roller and mummas good to go! How was the end of your breastfeeding journey mummas? Ive heard I might have some more big feelings coming my way in the next few days so let this mumma know what shes in for!

02.01.2022 4yrs ago hubby rolled his eyes at all my little brown bottles of oil. When I started to DIY all of our cleaning products and body wash, replacing our shampoo & conditioners and having "these bloody roller bottles everywhere" lol. Now he has his own little work stash (family essentials kit, adaptiv, ice blue rub, LLV, petal diffuser, doterra shampoo & conditioner) - and he is far better at DIY than I ever was! I always wanted hubby to get onboard with the oils. Now I just wi...sh he would stop stealing my LLV haha. Which oils do the men in your lives love? And feel free to make me feel better if youve been outdone in the DIY area as well

01.01.2022 So, I did a thing! Me & public speaking DO NOT go together like Peppermint & Wild Orange But when you get an opportunity to share at a doTERRA leadership, you take it! . . My biggest realisation when preparing my little preso was how at the start when I was venturing into this new world of network marketing, I didnt have a clue what I was doing. I was the epitome of winging it & running on instinct. I tried so hard to find someone like me, who looked like me, who liked t...o drop f-bombs and preferred almost anything else over a green smoothie. . . When I couldnt find that person, I realised, I just need to BE that person for myself. . . And so here is your permission slip from me! The only piece of advice I have for you. If you cant find what you are looking for, be it in business or life in general. Then just BE that person for your own damn self. Be your own inspiration and whatever it is you need! You got this friends! Xx See more
