Happy May!
It’s the last month of spring and it’s filled with all kinds of wonderful things… starting off with Cinco de Mayo. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a good taco?! Grab some Lime Vitality and Cilantro Vitality and you’ll be good to go.
We will also be celebrating Memorial Day to reflect upon all the sacrifices that were made to ensure our freedom. Rub on some Gratitude essential oil and speak those words of thankfulness.
And there’s Mother’s Day - so be sure to love on all the mother figures in your life. They deserve it! I’ve included a recipe down below to help you out.

Oil of the Month
Stress Away
These last few months have undoubtedly been stressful. We have been crossing through uncharted territories and experiencing unfamiliar situations. We need to be supporting our emotions through all of it, and we can do that with our essential oils!
As you inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules enter the nasal cavity and pass by the olfactory bulb. Your olfactory bulb is a part of your limbic system and therefore your response to an aroma is going to be emotional before it can be rational.
Each essential oil has a unique chemical makeup. We can take advantage of that and use essential oils to improve our mood, feel calmer or more energized, or reach a deeper state of happiness. So grab that Stress Away and breathe it in! It’s a blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender and does exactly what the name implies!
