In life, it's often the smallest changes that can lead to the most profound transformations. I learned this lesson firsthand after my diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer in 2015—a moment that reshaped my entire outlook on health and wellbeing. What once felt like ordinary, everyday choices suddenly carried new weight. I realized that if I wanted to give my body the best chance at healing, I had to start paying attention to even the tiniest details. 
When it comes to essential oils, we love to talk about all the amazing ways they can be used for health, home, and emotional well-being. But let’s flip the script and let’s talk about what not to do with your oils. Trust me, I’ve seen (and maybe even experienced) some oily mishaps that you don’t want to repeat! I’m diving into a few key mistakes people make with essential oils, inspired by the 30 Days of Oily Hacks resource. 
Anxiety can sneak up on us in the most unexpected moments, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, restless, or just plain exhausted.

When I first experienced the Raindrop Technique, I was surprised by how deeply it impacted both my body and my emotions. What I thought might just feel like a relaxing spa treatment turned out to be so much more—I felt lighter, calmer, and even noticed a difference in my posture. The combination of gentle touch and pure essential oils was unlike anything I’d ever tried before. Because of these benefits, I decided to become a certified Raindrop Practitioner so I could share this experience with others in my community. Now, offering sessions has become one of my favorite ways to help people find balance, release stress, and discover natural support for their overall wellness.
When I first started using essential oils, I thought they were just “nice smelling bottles.” What I didn’t realize is how deeply they could support my mind, body, and spirit. These little drops of nature’s essence—carefully distilled from flowers, leaves, roots, bark, and fruit—have become some of my favorite wellness tools. For centuries, people have turned to essential oils for natural remedies, emotional balance, and even spiritual connection. Today, I love weaving them into everyday life in simple ways that make a big difference.
