My Raisin Family

Hey Everyone! As my Essential Oil business is growing, I thought I would share with everyone our Essential Oil journey. We started out a few years ago, when a friend of mine helped me out with getting my daughter's sleep under control (still an on-going issue but with different underlying issues). I signed up but never really ordered anything else and never shared or anything. Until September last year. I have had issues with anxiety myself, my daughter was experiencing some separation anxiety and sleeping issues, plus I was getting headaches all the time. This is when I decided that I needed to do something to help myself and my family that wasn't going to do us more harm in the long run.  I already knew the oils work. I had seen that with my own eyes, so I ordered the Family Essentials Kit from doTerra and added a diffuser onto the order. Coming from someone who is pretty stingy, the cost was a fair amount. So I asked my husband if we could go ahead with the orde

Hey Everyone! There has been a few things I got in June that really get a lot of use and I am really happy with, so I thought I would share! Okay, the first thing I have LOVED is a book called The Essential Life.  For those of you who are not familiar with essential oils, this is basically the essential oil bible. There are 6 sections in this book that go through an intro to oils, various ailments and which oils to use for each, what each essential oil is good for, focus areas such as children, nervous system, etc. This book also has recipes, DIY's and blends to make for gardening, pregnancy etc. I have used this book so much this last month, it now lives in the lounge room! Second item is a doTerra essential oil blend called Peace. For those of you that know me, I get very anxious in certain situations, so when I ordered the Peace essential oil and started diffusing it, I ordered the Peace Touch (it is the same oil, just in a roller bottle and diluted with Frac

Hey everyone! We are 1 week in, of 3 weeks of school holidays. We are actually coasting through nicely at this point. We have had a few outings and activities that haven't cost anything so far which is really good on the pocket.  Today we had my Mother In Law over teaching the kids how to make beaded Christmas tree decorations. They loved it! It was a bit difficult for my 12 year old (she is developmentally delayed with a range of other issues) so I helped her a fair bit. My son, Knox, had a really good crack at it, didn't finish his but he was there for most of the time. My youngest and my oldest daughters both really enjoyed and finished theirs and they are both looking forward to making more! My mother in law had all of the stuff required to make these so they did not cost me anything and they got to spend some quality time with their grandparents!  Baking is also a really good, cheap school holiday activity.
