Jasmine and fresh baked bread. These are two of my favorite scents. They remind me of my childhood … of stringing together sampaguita (jasmine flowers) cords during Holy Week and walking to the bakery in the morning to buy a bag of warm pan de sal (a traditional Filipino bread). They fill me with sweet nostalgia and make my heart happy :)

As an adult, I turn to Young Living essential oils to help create a similar atmosphere of peace, calm and joy. One of my favorite essential oil blends is actually called “Peace & Calming”!

My first ever essential oil was lavender. I loved putting a few drops on my blanket before bed or on freshly washed towels going into the dryer. And then one night, I happened to be at my sister’s home as she was putting my nephew to bed and I noticed the diffuser quietly puffing aromatic streams of air. I asked what it was and my nephew affectionately replied, “It’s my egg!” (because of it’s shape 😉)

I was intrigued and afterwards, I got an “egg” of my own :) I now have two - one for home and the other I use in my preschool classroom.

I love the myriad ways I’m learning to incorporate essential oils into my daily routine. I use lemon in my morning water; frankincense in my DIY mouthwash; lavender in my diffuser at night; and much more. Most of all, I love that they are healthy, natural and simple.
