Daily Oil Routine
It’s inevitable really… You get your oils and you are so excited to use them but then the question sets in. How do I use these oils? I’ve got you. Maybe you are just trying to cast the vision for how the oils can fit into your life before you even hit that purchase button (I am you… I know that place… love you, fellow researcher and skeptic).
Here are some ways I use my oils on the daily to up-level my health and my girl’s health.
MORNING
I get a diffuser going most mornings. Whichever room I’ve decided to camp out at and have my beautiful black coffee (shout out to my plain black coffee lovers) and first 20 oz of water for the day during my quiet time… that room gets a diffuser turned on. I usually go for a citrus and or peppermint blend. Livening-awakening. Homey but let’s do the damn thing kind of blend.
Switching gears to getting dressed for the day I use oils in my skincare routine. You can read the full details about that here.
Once I’m done getting ready for the day- which comes in all variations- I will apply Adaptiv Touch and/or Motivate Touch to my inner forearms, on either side of my neck, and the space on the back of my neck where my skull reaches my backbone. Oils are supportive of mood health and these are two of my favorite oils. Because of my love of the oil Tamer that usually goes either on my stomach or chest if I’ve chosen to forgo Motivate for the day.
I may or may not get a diffuser going for school time. It often depends on our moods. If we need a little help getting settled or waking up I will put on a diffuser blend catered to what we need in that moment.
AFTERNOON
After lunch, my girl gets started on her independent school work and I go to my office space to get busy on what I’ve got set up for that day. When I sit down to do work I will usually put on the Motivate Touch and or Peppermint Touch. Helps give me a little juice for the moment that isn’t caffeine. Staying hydrated does well for keeping energy high as well.
Cleaning up any part of the house I have a DIY cleaner that I use. Whether it is an all-purpose cleaner, a window spray, or a wood polish, I’ve made a DIY to get after it. I love knowing exactly what is in the bottle because I put it there. And the biggest bonus is that I get to customize the scent each time I make them!
EVENING
Before setting off to getting ready for bed I’ll put on a relaxing diffuser blend in my bedroom. Closing out my day I use my oil in my skincare routine again. I may apply a calming oil or two, like Serenity and Vetiver, to my abdomen, chest, or bottom of feet to help me drift off to sleep easier. Depending on the time of the month I will use Clary Calm in my late luteal and phase through my moon. Always dilute this oil as it is a straight oil blend and is not a touch rollerball. We’ve all made that mistake. ;) A little goes a long way with this one.
That’s the quickest overview of how to use my oils daily! As with any lifestyle integration, you start in one area, and then it spirals out from there. Baby steps, friend, we make the journey taking one step at a time.
