SCENTS OF THE SEASON MORE THAN JUST A BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE

Frederick Lifestyle | December 2020
WHEN WE BECAME A FOSTER TO ADOPT FAMILY, IT MEANT GROWING IN A MILLION AND ONE WAYS. Through the process, we learned about therapeutic parenting, trauma, and letting the little things go. We learned that a big piece of caring for these hurting kids is creating an environment that is safe, nurturing, and in many cases, makes space for them to do the hard work of grieving. So, when we began learning about what a ‘toxin-free’ environment was, it was no time at all before we turned to essential oils to help replace many everyday household products containing ingredients with a significant ‘yuck’ factor. Enter Young Living, a company that treats the earth and people on it with so much respect and care that we knew we could trust their essential oils to bring not only beautiful scents into our home but also the healing power of plants. In our home, we use oils to roll on our skin topically; we diffuse them into the air we breathe, and we consume them in our cooking and synergistically in our vitamins. They have literally benefited every area of our home. We reach for oils when feelings get too big, when sensitive skin needs care, when sleep is disrupted and when immune systems need support. The kids even have their own roller bottles, each created with emotional supporting oils and decorated with stickers. We love stickers! As an often overwhelmed family, having these tools has been an incredible blessing—a true gift to these precious bodies, souls and minds. Even our littlest family member breathes easier when we roll diluted oils over his back at bedtime to help him rest well.

If you have wondered how to bring these drops of plant magic into your home, we’ve got you. Here is your ‘how-to’ guide for Seasonal Scents and what to look for when you shop for essential oils.

+ PRO TIP: Feeling overwhelmed during the busyness of the season? Place one drop of orange oil in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together to warm the oil up, cup your nose, and take several deep breaths. Remind yourself you can do this, and you are wonderful! Thanks to the family we love in Frederick, we are so grateful for this community and for the space to share our story. Sometimes, it is messy at our house, and sometimes it is gloriously joyful, but it is always a place where we are growing in the good. We want to wish you and yours a beautiful, real and delicious-smelling holiday season!
