citrus bliss

My first oil, that I have memory of, is the one shown above. My dad first introduced it to me. It is so wonderful and (spoiler alert!) invigorating! Ha :) This oil also helped persuade me to join doTERRA myself. 

Citrus Bliss merges all the benefits of the citrus essential oils. It combines powerful essences of wild orange, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, tangerine and clementine with a hint of vanilla. All of these together create a unique and harmonious blend with benefits that extend far beyond elevating mood and reducing stress. Citrus Bliss also has cleansing properties due to its natural and potent compounds (which can be done with just a few drops added to some water!).

My introduction was done through aromatherapy, where it was diffused into the air. When breathed in, not only does it smell incredible, but you can reap all the other benefits at the same time. Vanderbilt Medical Center, in Nashville, TN that is doing just that. My mother, Tonya McBride, helped make this possible. Observe:

Incredible, right? This is HUGE for modern medicine. So many people have been able to experience the power of these awesome oils (one of which is Citrus Bliss!) and it's freakin amazing! I'm stoked. And I just love that my mom is in this! I'm so proud of her!

I use this blend almost every day. I put a drop or two on pressure points, or my lil feets, or my chest. This way, it gets to my heart and nerve endings, and I can still smell it all day long! It makes my day so much more relaxed and stress-free. I'm happier and healthier! And let's be honest, who doesn't want that?! :)

doterra. where it all began.

so many of you know that I use essential oils. like all the time. but many don't know my story. my affair with doTERRA began with my mother. A family friend of ours had used essential oils for some time, but my mom thought they were weird. At one point we were all at this same friend's house for a small party, when a wild headache came along and started wreaking havoc on my mom. She asked our party hose if she had anything for it, which she quickly responded with a smile and a laugh "Yes, I do have something." She pulled out a bottle of peppermint oil and handed it to my mom. So she took it and used it only to prove her wrong. She rubbed a few drops on her forehead, and her headache dissipated immediately.

My mother is a nurse by the way, so of course she's been educated on modern medicine. She became extremely interested though and to make a long story short, signed up for doTERRA soon after, with my family following suit.

I've been using these oils for about 4 years. To be honest, I was never really serious about it because I was in school and never thought I would be doing this as a business. But to add to that honesty, things change, and these oils have definitely changed my life. I love these products and their many uses.

So now that I do this as a business, I will definitely be posting more often. But not just the normal every day stuff. I will be posting about recipes, events, products, and anything else I can think of that has to do with doTERRA. Annnd if you have any questions or comments or tips or anything, don't hesitate to let me know!
