I live a pretty busy life filled with school, work, internship, and writing every day. Most days I tend to not get home until 7:30 at night and don’t eat much while I’m in between events.

With that being said, I’ve had plenty of experiences with stress. I’ve experienced the tense feeling rushing all over my body, the panic of not being able to breathe, and the moment where all hope seems lost. It’s not fun. No one enjoys going through it. But, it does happen, no matter how badly you don’t want it to.

A lot of my friends are strong believers in essential oils, but I never really gave them much thought. When my schedule started to get hectic again this year, I decided that giving essential oils a chance wasn’t that bad of an idea.

Essential Oils have changed my life forever.

I first started my oil experience with a small bottle of Lavender essential oil. Lavender is a common scent that’s highly recommended to alleviate stress. I would put a small amount of the oil on my wrists and behind my ears before walking into a difficult class, before taking a test, and before work. The results were astounding. I immediately felt calmer than I ever had before and whenever I began to feel stressed, the scent would calm my nerves.

But, I couldn’t let the journey end there. I began to also use Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lemongrass, and Tea Tree essential oils that I purchased off of Amazon for a fair price. Eucalyptus helps with mental fatigue, Peppermint helps to improve memory, Lemongrass helps to relax and de-stress your body, and Tea Tree is used as an all-around oil.

Essential Oils and their accessories are perfect for when you’re home and on the go.

Since my experience with oils started, I’ve also explored the perks of the accessories that come with it. An essential oil diffuser has become the most important part of my home life.

A Peppermint, Lavender blend in my diffuser has proved to be the best thing to help me focus while I’m doing homework and get me moving along with my day.

Then, when it comes to winding down for the night, I switch to a Lavender, Eucalyptus blend to soothe my nerves to sleep.

Not only are oil diffusers a key part of my life, but I’ve also found that oil diffuser jewelry also has its perks. As much as I enjoy placing the oil on my wrists and behind my ears, the scent doesn’t linger as long as I would prefer.

Oil diffuser jewelry helps the scent to linger longer while serving as a cute accessory. My personal favorite is the natural oil diffuser bracelet by Earthshine Goods. The bracelet is made with balance beads, handcrafted wooden beads, and lava rock beads that naturally soak up the oil.

Now, I live a healthy, stress-free lifestyle.

Thanks to my oils, I’m able to tackle the day without letting myself get overwhelmed. While my journey is well underway, my adventure with essential oils is just beginning.
