Finding JOY in my Favorite Things: doTERRA

Up next on my Favorite Things Segment I am super excited to talk about doTERRA and why I love the company and their products and get into a few oils with y'all. Hope you ENJOY!

Living a Healthier Lifestyle

Yes you can consider me a “crazy oil lady” if you want to, but I am telling you, essential oils are the best! Especially for my mental health. Yes I do take anxiety medicine, but I have found that when I use essential oils as well, it makes me feel so fantastic. That may be in my head, but it works for me. Essential oils don’t just help with mental health, they also help with overall health in general. Combining essential oils with every day medicine helps with striving to live a healthier lifestyle and feeling AMAZING. I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty great to me.

Why doTERRA?

Some people may ask me this question, why do I prefer doTERRA to other oil companies? For one, they have Certified Therapeutic Grade oils which means they only put the purest form of the oil in their bottles, they don’t have any added crap that some other oils do.

Secondly, they have a great website that is super user friendly. They have so many helpful tools that allow you to either build a business, purchase product, or connect with others.

Did you know that they are a Multi-level Marketing company, which means that if you wanted, you could sell the product and get a discount by doing so. Because of this, there is a lot of room for growth!

Overall, they have the best products and they are a very stand up company! I love them and I will stand by them until the day I die. My most favorite part about doTERRA though is the fact that they inspire healthy living! If you follow them on Instagram they do daily stories with ways to use their different oils, different ways to get moving and stay active, and also how to use oils in cooking to promote wellness in healthy eating.

doTERRA Products that I LOVE

There are several different products that fall into separate categories and I love them all! I had the hardest time narrowing down my very favorites but for the sake of this post I narrowed down the essential oils section. Here are a few of my favorite Oils from doTERRA.

In the essential oils category the list is as follows:

1. Balance Oil: I love Balance because it helps me feel grounded and peaceful. I usually put a drop on my wrists and rub them together when I am feeling stressed or having a bad day and it helps me to calm my emotions down.

2. OnGuard Oil: OnGuard is a must have in your oil cabinet. For one, it smells great so when you diffuse it, your house smells like Christmas. For two, it contains cleansing properties so you can use it for cleaning. And finally, it can be used internally to support healthy immune function. So, if you are starting to feel a little under the weather, you can diffuse OnGuard in your diffuser and take a drop with 4 oz of water to give yourself an immune boost.

3. Breathe Oil: Breathe is one of my absolute favorite smells of all time. It is a great oil to use when you want to have clearer airways and promote easier breathing. The name itself explains its use. Not only does it help with breathing, when you diffuse it at night it is so relaxing let me tell you. The smell brings me calm and clarity.

4. Tea Tree Oil: (Melaleuca) is another one of my favorites for the fact that it is great to use as a cleansing agent around the house, on your skin, and diffusing to clear the air of impurities. It is amazing and I personally use it almost daily.

5. Lavender Oil: Of course Lavender has to be on this list as well because for one it smells divine and for two it is such a calming and relaxing oil.

6. Serenity Oil: Speaking of calming Serenity is another great relaxing oil. It is called the restful blend for a reason. For one, I love to drop a few drops in the bath and soak after a long day and it just helps me to detox and release stress.

7. Patchouli Oil: I have recently started using Patchouli to help me in times of emotional stress. I have found that it grounds me emotionally and I feel so much more uplifted. I now crave the smell of Patchouli and love to diffuse it with different oils like lavender and serenity to promote a calm and peaceful environment.

8. ClaryCalm Oil: since having a baby my hormones have been all over the place and it is quite miserable at times. Since starting to use ClaryCalm, I have found myself feeling “normal” even though my hormones are still high. I don’t feel like such a hormonal rage monster haha if you know what I mean.

9. Elevation Oil: Elevation is the JOYFUL blend and I absolutely LOVE it. It has such a wonderful smell that just uplifts and energizes you as soon as you catch a whiff. I love to put it on my wrists and behind my ears to have a more enjoyable day.

10. Cinnamon: I love Cinnamon for the simple fact that when you diffuse it, it smells like fall. Plus I put it in my favorite cinnamon popcorn recipe!

Why do they bring me JOY?

doTERRA oils bring me so much JOY and here is why: I have found some purpose and pleasure in figuring out the different uses of the oils and how to have and maintain a healthier lifestyle with and because of these essential oils. Now I am not advocating that everyone stop using modern medicine and start using oils instead, I just think that using essential oils in my life adds a healthy balance and prosperity that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

So, there are so many more oils and I could go on and on about them but I narrowed it down to my top ten favorites just for the sake of time on my part. I hope you can find some JOY in these oils and figure out what works for you! Keep on the lookout for my next doTERRA related favorites soon!
