Simply Life

  I’ve always been on the fence about opening up about a big part of my life, only because there’s a lot of stigma that comes with it. To be quite honest I don’t want to come off like I know everything about it because in reality I don’t and there are spouses that have been doing this much much longer than I have been. To open up is daunting and specially to put yourself out there to receive hate and trying not offending anyone. I’m a military wife, my husband is full time in the National Guard. So, I like to think I have the best of both worlds. While our life is “relatively” normal, as in we don’t move like active military, we still have a lot of the same experiences being military. I think as a national guard spouse it’s hard because this is part of your life but there are others going through it a lot more then you like being in a different state with no family or dealing with multiple deployments alone with kids at home. The list can go on and on, but without always compar...

Life is one of those crazy things, everything could be going right and then bam, curve ball. Which is to be expected, it is life and we have no way of telling what is going to happen.

Sweet sweet summer time.  I am a lover of summer, give me hot days, thunderstorms, and the smell of bonfires. Our summers in South Dakota don’t last long enough, our winter lasts forever it seems winter. I love soaking up the summer as much as I can.     These blends I use year around to give me that summer scents I love. I’ve been in love with Lime and Spearmint lately and have been diffusing it every night in the living room while we relax.  One of the things I love about essential oils is you can add them to your thieves house hold cleaner for added benefits and to add a beautiful scent all of your house without diffusing.  What are some of your favorite summer scents??  Want to learn more about the great things essential oils and young living has?  You can check out my How to order your starter kit post or you can follow the link and order it here .

The last few months I’ve been educating myself more with oils and how to use differently then just diffusing them. Although I still diffuse many on this list, I also have tried adding them or switching things out in order to add them more into my daily life. I’ve really been loving it and I think now after using them for a year my husband is finally on board or maybe I think I have him convinced why were using them.
