25.01.2022 ||KIDS|| To all the kids in Melbourne Your whole worlds were turned upside down in 2020 ... No school, kinder or daycare No play dates or going to the park No sport or swimming lessons No birthday parties or celebrating with friends or family No going to peoples houses or having anyone over No visits to the zoo, museum, farm or cinema No weekends away or holidays 2020 has been a TOUGH year for everyone but I think we forget how much our kids have missed out on. Although the above are all important parts of life and growing up we have also seen a shift in our lifestyle. Meaning through 2020: Kai learnt to ride a pedal bike Eden learnt to walk We all learnt to take mornings slow and afternoons slower Make time for exercise and getting fresh air Had more screen time (let’s be honest!) Been able to have family time (and having Jace home) like we have never known and will probably not know again for a long time Seeing that keeping in touch is important and it’s still possible even when we can’t be face to face Kids don’t need new things. New toys, books or clothing is something they may appreciate but don’t actually need Learning to find the fun in the simple things. Like splashing in puddles. Playing car races in flour. Washing toys in a bubbly sink. Sending a drawing to someone to let them know you are thinking of them. It’s sounds simple but our little ones have adjusted this year and they will adjust again. They are stronger than we know and wiser than they seem. We did it Melbourne kids, well done! You all deserve a big thumbs up!!! See more

25.01.2022 ||HOW DID I START|| I get quite a few questions - how did I start, what did I buy first, how did I know how to use my oils? Truth is I had NO idea what I was doing, had no idea how to use my oils, in fact a small part of me had no idea why I was buying them, it was just something I felt I had to do. Something I felt would help me in some way, something drew me to them and I knew I just had to start ... I started with a family essentials kit, bought myself a @kmartaus diffuser and went on my way. I googled blends, followed a few oily people and probably diffused way to many drops than necessary I had NO oil camp, NO private community, NO resources. It was hard work, I had to learn on the run, but I knew it was something I could love and be passionate about. I knew these oils were something I wanted to share with others too Now being a part of a wider community, knowing the things that I know, learning SO much about incorporating these little bottles of goodness into everyday life, I’m SO glad I didn’t just put them in the cupboard and walk away I could of, but I didn’t I’ve now cut out so many toxins from my home, my medicine cupboard is filled with natural solutions, I DIY nearly all of my cleaning products and as a family we are so much better off. You don’t have to change everything straight away, you don’t have to cut out all the things straight away BUT you do have to start using them though, straight away. If you already have oils, get them out, put them somewhere you can see them, pop a couple of drops of your favourite into your diffuser, let’s get you educated on how to use them again, let’s create blends and rollers, let me remind you why you purchased them and what they can do for you New to oils and haven’t yet made the move to get started? Let me help you, let me get you into our private community where you can learn everyday, let’s get you into oil camp which will teach you the basics and a little more, tell me what your needs are and we can tailor your collection to you. Make it a lifestyle choice where you can build your oil collection based on what you need and will not a random purchase that you will never use. See more

25.01.2022 ||HEAD LICE|| the thought makes your head itch right? Yeah me too..Well that became our reality this week...FML. If it’s not enough for your kids to get it, imagine your husband or even worse YOU!!! Well we ALL coped it - yay... It took me almost 2 hours to get that comb through my very thick, very long hair...I almost cried Have now made up a spray to keep on hand and to continue to spray through our hair/hats/beanies - that was not fun and if I can help it we will NEVER be doing that again (wait til school I hear you all say) Spray: Arborvitae Tea Tree Cedarwood Peppermint Also..how do you even get head lice in iso? See more

24.01.2022 ||MASKS|| What a topic hey...some incredibly hot opinions about it. Some for, some against, some sitting very much in the middle. Wearing a mask outside of my home is not something I would EVER imagined Id have to do. To be required to do in our free country that we live in, to be required to wear in our daily life.... I can imagine in 10 years time telling our kids about that time there was a pandemic that we all lived through and we were required to cover our faces to stop the spread. We were wearing masks to help save lives, it even sounds crazy to say it out loud, but it’s our reality. Our kids have already adapted to staying home, not seeing family and friends, not doing all their normal things, and then there were masks!! Kai sometimes wants to wear one and sometimes he doesn’t and either is ok with me. This isn’t a time to make your kids have more changes in their life and while he has a choice, he can make it. I see Eden looking at me with the mask on, with some unknown in her eyes. She can’t see me, she can’t read my face, she probably can’t even hear me properly. I can’t just give her a kiss on the head or smile at her to give her reassurance. It’s certainly an unknown world we are in right now, but it’s also time to do the right thing. To stay home, to wear a mask, to stop the spread. If not for us, our older generations and the community, do it for your kids. They need us to do the right thing, they need us to keep them safe and they need us to help get back to normality See more

23.01.2022 ||FORGETFUL|| Anyone else put washing on and then forget about it? #everyday Pop a couple of drops of #PURIFY in the rim of your machine, put in on spin cycle and let it run No one will ever know!!!

22.01.2022 ||FEEDING|| In light of #nationalbreastfeedingweek I’d like to give a shout out to ALL the Mums out there Breastfed or bottle fed what does it matter? As long as your baby is happy, healthy and thriving, fed is always best. ... Does it matter that the girl next door exclusively breast fed for well over 18 months? NO Does it matter that your sister decided to feed formula from day one? NO Does it matter that the girl from mothers group pumps and feeds all day because she wants to make sure her baby is getting enough milk? NO Does it matter that your Mums friends daughter mix feeds? NO My point being is that we already get judged or questioned on decisions that we make as mothers (especially first time mums) by so many people. From friends to maternal health nurses to the stranger at the cafe and it’s not ok. We as mothers are allowed to choose which way our babies are fed, for how long and when. So next time you ask a new mum how her baby is don’t ask her if she has enough milk to breastfeed or why she’s feeding her baby a bottle. It’s her choice and in fact none of your business why she’s made that choice. Ask her how she’s feeling, that’s more important than the way she feeds her baby #fedisbest #mumlife #newmum #melbournemum #mumoftwo #boymama #girlmama #letthembelittle #breastfed #bottlefed #motherschoice #alwaysbegentle #bekind #newmumsunite #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #wellbalancedco See more

21.01.2022 ||BABY WIPES|| This is one of the EASIEST DIY swaps you can make + SO beneficial to your little babes sensitive skin! On average store bought baby wipes have around 15-20 ingredients #why... Let me put it this way - if you’re changing your baby 5-6 times a day plus wiping their hands and face, would you rather wipe them with unnecessary chemicals or a 3 ingredient natural option? I sure know what I’m choosing... All you need is this: 2 cups cool boiled water 2 tbls castille soap 2 tbls fractionated coconut oil Essential oils of choice (I use Frank, Lav, Tea tree - 2 drops of each) use dependant on age Double length paper towel or reusable cloths Container or Jar to store them in I’m telling you now you will not look back!!!

20.01.2022 NEW NAME Same business ‘Well Balanced Co’ Looking more into teaching you about wellness and different ways we can make changes that will impact yours and your families future. Yes using essential oils and educating is still my thing but I want to move into the wellness side to inspire other women and mummas like me that it’s not about changing all the things, it’s about making small changes to impact you for life.

19.01.2022 ||NIGHT TERRORS|| This kiddo woke up multiple times last night having little night terrors He doesn’t have them regularly but I have used oils to support them before. My go to is Juniper Berry the oil of the night It’s an incredible oil to support bad dreams, night mares and has the ability to assist with sleep support and calming.... Diffuser blend: 2 drops Juniper Berry 1 drop Bergamot 1 drop Vetiver Juniper berry is a really underestimated oil for young ones. Not only will it support sleep, calming and night terrors, it’s also an incredible oil to use when toilet training. I used it overnight for Kai, as well as diffusing it I applied it to his abdomen, helped a lot for overnight toilet training. If this is one sitting in your collection you’re not sure of how to use it, get it out and use it, it’s pretty special See more

13.01.2022 ||ICE BLUE|| So I’ve started running again that combined with holding 10kg Eden for majority of the day my body is sore!!! Ice Blue is the athletic blend ... Most people assume this is just for when you’re active but that ain’t so! Ice Blue can help you with aches and pains for all sorts of things! Sore Neck from looking down at your phone or typing away at your computer Sore Hips from holding your baby on one side or dancing all night (those were the days!) Sore Back from...life Growing Pains Pregnancy Aches (i literally use for daily when I was pregnant) Can also assist in relieving all sorts of joint and muscle aches and pains related to certain common conditions Ice Blue also comes in a ready made cream - think of those convenient muscle rubs on the market (throw them away they are toxic) this will replace those and it’s literally ALL you need!!! There’s SO many incredible oils for all things muscle aches and joint pain but this blend really is the tops. If you started with a home essentials or top 10 kit this is one of your blends included. Make sure you get it out and use it it’s certainly a good one (could even be the oil that gets hubby over the line) See more

12.01.2022 ||FAMILY|| I’m not sure I could feel any luckier If lockdown has taught me anything it’s that family is SO important. I’ve spent more time with my husband this year than we have any of our 13 years together. Our kids have got to spend more time with him than they would of if it was a normal year of working weekends and long hours. That bond is so important between kids and their parents and we are so fortunate that we have been given that time together... Yes of course I miss life before lockdown and hopefully we can get back there soon but for now I’ll treasure my little crew and this crazy life we are making togetherLooking at the brighter side to lockdown, it’s not all bad... What one thing you have LIKED about being in iso? See more

11.01.2022 ||COLLECTION|| One of my beautiful girls on my team sent me this message today.. I have just spent the morning organising my oils thought you might like to see the growing collection. It made me feel pretty happy!... I LOVE receiving messages like this. The ones that show you are using your oils, displaying your oils to make it easy to grab when you need and loving expanding your collection Your collection looks great @b.the.midwife @bee_sharp I’m SO happy you love them! It’s not about getting ALL the things at the start. Begin with what you know you will use or the top 10 kit and grow your collection from there. That way you will know what you are using them for and where you need to expand your collection. Education is the key to knowing what to buy next, how to order through LRP and reap the benefits of FREE oils and products!!! Ready? Send me a message...let’s get chatting See more

10.01.2022 ||WINTER MORNINGS|| K has woken up this morning with quite a husky little voice It has been FREEZING in Melb this past week so it doesn’t surprise me something is trying to get him! He says he’s feeling fine which is good so I’ll just make sure I load him up with all the good stuff today to keep any bugs at bay ... This morning I’ve made him a warm drink to help clear his voice - 1 teaspoon Honey - 1 drop On Guard Essential Oil - Stir into boiling water (add some cool water so it can be drunk!!) Also swiped his chest and back with the Easy Air Vapour stick, applied his immune blend to the bottom of his feet and down his spine. I’ll keep this up all day + fingers crossed he’s all good!!! See more

10.01.2022 ||HOT DRINK|| I popped into my stories today that I put a drop of peppermint into my coffee..trust me I’m a coffee drinker so I was totally against changing its flavour too! But it’s SO good! ... I actually love peppermint in so many of my hot drinks..remembering 1 drop goes A LONG way!!! Cacao (mint hot choc) Water (peppermint tea) Coffee Let me know if you try any of the above or tell me your favourite!! See more

08.01.2022 ||DINNER TO GO|| Dinner on the move tonight! The boys were going for a ride so instead of staying in and doing our regular night time routine, we got out too ... Dinner for Miss E: Chickpeas, Chicken fillet, cucumber, wholemeal wrap with peanut butter, blueberries and sultanas! Tell me who else loves getting out this time of day!!?? See more

07.01.2022 ||COPAIBA|| Copaiba essential oils is derived from the resin of the Copaiba tree which can grow upwards of more than 30 metres and found in tropical South America ... So what is this powerhouse good for? Soothing + calming to the emotions Incredible for skin + cellular health Pain relief when used in conjunction with other oils Use in face moisturiser for skin benefits Assists in a restful night sleep I use to help support my teething baby Basically the King Franks little bro - such an incredible oil with SO many wonderful benefits! See more

07.01.2022 ||TEACH THEM|| What’s she doing you ask?? #mothering Putting oils on her baby of course!! ... Having a boy first I didn’t realise how intuitive girls were to their nurturing side...my little gal hugs her baby, puts her to bed, gives her a bottle and wants to put oils on her! It’s AMAZING how they just know how to be gentle and look after things... She basically played with cars and blocks since the day she was born so when we bought her a baby for her birthday we didn’t really think she would know what to do with it!! (I actually thought she may just throw it across the room!) Eden has had oils put on her since the day she was born, supporting her little body in whatever she needs. At the moment it’s teething - and as soon as I lay her on my bed she knows what’s happeningCreating healthy habits for our little ones is so important and providing them is essential. Our little ones take in more of our habits that we realise so making positive choices is incredibly important so their future is full of all the good stuff!! See more

07.01.2022 ||LUNCH|| My kids LOVE a lunch platter! Pick what you want Eat as much (or as little) as you want ... No guilt that they haven’t eaten the right things for lunch + they can come and go as they please... Kai often picks a couple of things then goes back to whatever he was doing.. Eden on the other hand sits and touches everything on the plate before deciding that everything must be eaten AT ONCE! Our favourites: - toasties - fresh fruit - salad veggies - dry biscuits - cheese Eating outside is one of our FAVOURITE things about summer (it’s certainly giving us a preview today!) One thing Melbourne could do to get us through the next few months is certainly to bring on some warmer weather and sunshine!! See more

04.01.2022 ||FREEDOM|| Back when the sun shone, the water was warm, and we were free to explore wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted The idea that normal is SO far away is heartbreaking. It’s that the reality of life now is that we stay home or we go out covered up. It the right thing to do. We know that. We respect that. ... My wish though is when we do get out of this (if we get out of this) that we have learnt to appreciate the little things, cherish the moments with our nearest and love on all the people we have missed the most. I look forward to getting back to ALL the things we love. I want to celebrate birthdays and Christmas. I want to enjoy parks, beaches and explore new places. I want my kids to have adventures, create relationships with family and friends and feel freedom What are you looking forward to when we are free to roam again? Or if you’re out of lockdown, what are you loving? See more

03.01.2022 ||DRY SHAMPOO|| I posted in my stories the other day my recipe for dry shampoo! I had so many questions so thought it would be best to keep it here too! I’m one of those lucky ones - I only wash my hair once a week, I dry and wave it and it pretty much stays that way until day 5...... I do find however that a sprinkle with dry shampoo keeps it looking fresh for even longer! Dry shampoo that you purchase in a can contains some horrendous toxins that inhaling regularly can effect you. This is one of the most simple swaps you can make + you only need 2 ingredients (probably ones you already have in your pantry!) Arrowroot powder Cocoa/cacao powder I make up a small batch and it lasts me a few weeks - it’s so easy to make you don’t need to make a big batch! I mix directly into the jar I’m going to store it in, approx 2 tbls arrowroot and 1 tbls cocoa (the cocoa is your colour so the darker your hair the more you need, the lighter your hair the less) Stir in one drop each Cedarwood, Rosemary, Lavender EO (all incredible for hair health!) It’s literally that simple! no nasties no stickiness minimal ingredients healthy hair See more

03.01.2022 ||BUGS|| So many options when making bug spray! Kai gets bitten and they swell really big - it’s been trial and error as to what works the best for him A. To avoid getting bitten... B. To stop him scratching when he does get bitten In a 30ml sprayer (I’ve just recycled an old on guard sanitizer mist!) Add approx 30 drops essential oil (dilution dependant on who you’re making the spray for!) 2-3 squirts fractionated coconut oil Top with cooled boiled water Give it a shake and you’re to go! My favourites are Terra Armour, Lemongrass, Geranium and Citronella Any of these oils are also great to diffuse aswell. Make sure you dilute your spray correctly for who is using it! Please reach out if unsure how many drops to use and which oils are a great combination!! Also remember you can spray around your babies - onto their pram, blanket they are laying on or clothing! Use more gentle oils for your babies skin such as spearmint instead of peppermint. You could also make a balm instead of a spray if you prefer to apply it this way Store bought bug repellent are super toxic and absolutely not something you want to be applying to your skin regularly When essential oils are proven to work, why wouldn’t you choose a natural option???
