Essential Living: Month of Love

As February and Valentines Day approaches, we're all looking for ways to incorporate a little more love into our lives.
If you own a diffuser, this is a great way to add the scent of 'love' into your home , or bedroom ;) But, if you don't, a little roller ball mixture added to your wrist and neck is another way to bring the love this month (and any month of the year).

Both Sandalwood & Ylang Ylang are very popular bases for these aphrodisiac blends.  They also make great bases for a DIY perfume. Which makes sense, since the whole point of a decent perfume is to turn some heads...so, why not turn your husband/ boyfriend/ partner's head?

Some of the DoTerra combinations you might consider are:

• Jasmine & Sandalwood
• Ylang Ylang, Cassia & Passion
• Bergamont, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Wild Orange, Rosemary, Ginger & Black Pepper
• Ylang Ylang, Wild Orange, Sandalwood & Cedarwood

If you are making yourself a rollerball blend, make sure you use DoTerra's fractionated coconut oil as your carrier oil to ensure best results and no added scent.

All of the above mentioned oils can be found and purchased here.  If you're interested in the discounted wholesale price, make sure to send me a message or email for more information.

What's in a Name?

Coming up with an appropriate name for this little space was tough.  I must have written down 100 possibilities and nothing seemed quite right.  I wanted something that could encompass a multitude of areas but was focused enough to deliver a clear message.

I wanted this space to be warm, genuine, positive and real.  Simply Graceful embodies all these qualities to me.

What it means to be Simply Graceful?

•  It means creating white space
•  It means living simply and naturally
•  It means walking away from drama and living positively with as much grace as possible.

It is my mission in 2018 to apply these meanings to my life and to create a space here on the blog to work through these values as well as sharing a bit about our day to day life.

I hope the start of a new year is an opportunity for all of us to share, create and live our best life.

"The meaning of life is to find your gift.  The purpose of life is to give it away"

Let's walk this journey together and find the way to living Simply and Gracefully.
