HHello, friends! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I meant to post yesterday, but with twelve people and five dogs for dinner, the day was a bit wild.
Quick note for Black Friday:
You can find many of my hand-selected home favorites in my shop and gift guides. My favorite weekend deal is at the end of this post — and I’ll likely share more finds on Facebook and Instagram stories over the weekend.
Soon I’ll share photos of all five pups — our two dogs, Kylee’s two, and my sister’s pup — running around the house at Thanksgiving. They were exhausting to watch, but they had a blast. We had a wonderful day.
Before our guests arrived we began putting up some Christmas decor. As usual, Jack went a little nuts the moment he spotted the woodland animals. He’s obsessed with them.
Remember this post? Not much has changed.
It took him about a minute to find this one and pull its eyes off.
I always feel sad when another woodland ornament gets disassembled. It happens every year — another animal without eyes. On the bright side, the house is starting to look festive despite Jack’s mischief.
Speaking of the holidays, who doesn’t want their home to smell like Christmas? I’m not usually a Black Friday shopper, but this deal is a good one for more than one reason.
I used to love buying scented soaps, seasonal candles, and holiday room sprays. I remember sniffing every candle in stores like Anthropologie until I found the perfect seasonal scent.
Who doesn’t want a home that smells like a Christmas wonderland?
I used to stockpile scented products when they went on sale, but I learned that many synthetic or poorly made “natural” scented products can make us ill. After going through that experience, I stopped buying them and my health improved. That’s a longer story for another time, but I no longer use those products.
A few years ago I discovered Young Living essential oils, and they’ve become my go-to for both wellness and scenting the home. They’re versatile and effective, and I haven’t gone back to the old, synthetic products. Now when I smell those older scents, I cringe. My nose has adjusted to love the natural aroma of plants.
Helping people make simple, life-improving changes at home is a real passion for me. Because essential oils have made such a positive difference in our household, I enjoy helping others get started.
My daughters and I host a private essential oils group where we support and guide people personally. Our group has grown to more than 260 friends, and many join us on Facebook, text, email, or Instagram. We love helping people learn how to use oils effectively.
I invest time in new members because small changes — like switching how we scent and clean our homes — can significantly affect wellbeing.
I’d love to invite you to join our group.
If you’ve been curious about essential oils but haven’t tried them, or if you bought oils years ago and they’re still in a closet, I’d be glad to help you get started and make the most of your kit.
This weekend I’m offering a special holiday gift to anyone who gets a Premium Starter Kit with me. If you’re not currently in a group or you bought a kit years ago and need help using it, email me and I’ll personally assist you.
I want you to love scenting and cleaning your home with products that won’t harm your health. We use essential oils to stay above the wellness line so we don’t have to deal with feeling unwell during the busy season.
You can find details on exactly what’s included in the starter kit, pricing, and ordering steps on the Black Friday deal page.
The Premium Starter Kit is a comprehensive, well-priced way to begin with essential oils. I don’t recommend buying oils from discount stores, grocery stores, or marketplaces where purity isn’t guaranteed. With the starter kit you receive a diffuser plus 11 useful oils, including Thieves for a cozy, supporting scent and Peppermint for a festive aroma that also supports wellness. This is the same kit I purchased for my family.
If you order a kit with my link this weekend, I’ll also send you a Christmas Bundle that includes a full bottle of Christmas Spirit, a holiday scented sampler set with five samples (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon bark, orange, and pine), and a beginner book to help you get started.
If you prefer, I can send $25 cash back instead of the Christmas bundle. Either way, I believe this kit is a worthwhile investment.
I’d love to welcome you into our group this weekend so we can begin the season focusing on wellness together. You’ll find ordering details and kit information on the Black Friday deal page.
Happy weekend!
Black Friday shoppers: Many of my hand-selected favorites for the home are available in my shop, and I’ve put together gift guides to help with holiday shopping.
