Plant Therapy is offering 4 favorite essential oils for only $4 each. They also have free shipping on any order, which is a fantastic deal! For only $4 shipped, you can score 10 mL of Blood Orange, Clove Bud, Frankincense Serrata, or Fir Needle. I’m a big fan of the Blood Orange as I like citrus scents.

Blood Orange Essential Oil has an intense juicy-fresh, zesty, citrus scent. This incredibly uplifting and stimulating oil can help ease nervous tension and promote a happy mood. Try diffusing Blood Orange by itself for an uplifting mood boost or add to a personal inhaler for on-the-go use!

Clove Bud Essential Oil has a warm, spicy scent that smells just like cloves. This oil can be used in DIY cleaning products, a massage oil for aching joints, or as a boost of support for your immune system. This wonderful, familiar aroma can also be added to diffuser blends to create a scent that brings the holidays indoors!

Frankincense Serrata has a pleasant green and woody aroma that is appealing to many people. It is widely used for aromatherapy and it’s prized for its mind clearing abilities. This oil is ideal for yoga and meditation practices, but it also can help promote clear breathing and healthy skin!

The uplifting forest-fresh scent of Fir Needle is wonderful for respiratory support. This oil helps ease congested breathing associated with seasonal illness and seasonal pollen threats. Fir Needle is gentle enough to use around children and it’s perfect for holiday diffusing!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great week and weekend. I’ve been decorating for Christmas, cleaning things out, decluttering, and going through kids clothes. Swapping out kids clothes if one of my least favorite chores. With my husband not able to lift anything, my older son lifted the younger to put the star on the tree this year.

Nothing really new for us, but just chugging along in our school work, continuing to apply for jobs, and trying to get my blog more productive again. Have a great week!
