Let’s start off with some tasty treats to share with family and friends.
Here are some great upcycling crafts prepared by Dana Marshall a member of the AromaVibe.
Potpourri Diffuser
Step 1: start with a mason jar that has air holes in it.
Step 2: gather your potpourri and decorations that you want to use inside your jar diffuser I used: • pinecones • evergreen sprigs • slice of wood • small balls
Step 3: Add essential oil to the pieces in your potpourri that will absorb essential oil (such as wood slices and pinecones) Tip: The amount of essential oil you use will vary by the size of your jar. For the large jar in these photos, I use about 20-25 drops essential oil. Tip: You can add more essential oils to refresh the potpourri when the essential oil scent dissipates. Depending on the strength of the oils, the size of the jar, and the size of the room that the diffuser is in, the scent can last from a day to a week or more.
Step 4: Layer the items into your jar diffuser. Continue to layer more items into your diffuser.
Step 5: Finish your diffuser by putting the lid on and tying a pretty ribbon around the neck of the jar. (Most of this information was found on Pinterest and I added my own twist.)
Twig Christmas Ornament
Step 1: gather your twigs… I found mine when I went for a walk in the park and pick them up off the ground.
Step 2: cut the twigs in various links from small to large. This will form the branches of the Christmas tree.
Step 3: hot glue, the twigs to a back by using a popsicle stick or another twig.
Step 4: you can put a star or a ball or a ribbon at the top of the tree, hot glue that along with a string to hang the ornament in your tree .
Step 5: Use 3 to 4 drops of your favorite oil on the twigs. You can add more oil as the scent fades.
doTerra Bottle Ornament
Step 1: Gather your empty bottles.
Step 2: Gather ribbons.
Step 3: Gather together, small decorative items . Hot glue, your ribbons, bows, decorative items to the top of the glass bottle. Leave the lid off the bottle so that it can diffuse the leftover oil that is in the bottle. Make sure to put a string to hang it in the tree.
The VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex is a powerful, bioavailable, whole-food supplement that supports foundational wellness by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients derived from natural sources. Its unique liposomal technology, probiotics, and essential oil blend enhance absorption, making it a superior choice over synthetic multivitamins.
Due to soil depletion and dietary shifts, it’s difficult to get the same nutrients our grandparents did from food alone. Today, you might need 8 oranges to match the vitamin A content in 1 orange from years past.
2. Gut Health Support
Our society is often overfed yet malnourished. Poor diet, chronic stress, and hidden imbalances weaken gut health, impacting nutrient absorption.

Life has a way of testing our limits, and stress often feels like an unavoidable part of that journey. But what if there were natural, simple ways to support your body and mind through those challenging moments? In this article, we’ll explore how to manage stress focusing on tools like essential oils and healthy habits that can help keep you grounded.
What Is Stress?
Before diving into solutions, let’s break down what stress actually is. Stress is a natural response your body has to any kind of demand or perceived threat. Whether it’s a looming deadline or personal concerns, stress triggers a flood of chemicals that prepare your body for “fight or flight.” This response is essential for survival but can become problematic when triggered too often or for prolonged periods.
How Stress Affects the Body
Chronic stress can have significant effects on your overall well-being, leading to physical symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, sleep problems, and even weakening your immune system. Emotionally, it can contribute to anxiety, irritability, and feelings of overwhelm.
But the good news is, there are natural ways to manage and reduce the impacts of stress, allowing your body to return to balance.
Daily Stress-Reducing Habits
Your daily habits play a significant role in managing stress. One of the most effective tools is conscious breathing. Simply pausing for a moment, inhaling deeply, and exhaling slowly can help reset your mind and body.
In addition to breathing techniques, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and maintaining a balanced diet can all contribute to overall emotional balance. Small actions like taking breaks, getting outside for a walk, or practicing mindfulness can make a big difference over time.
Using Essential Oils to Support Stress Management
Along with daily habits Essential oils add additional support. Essential oils, derived from plants, have long been used to promote feelings of calm and relaxation. While essential oils cannot cure or treat conditions, they can be an excellent addition to your wellness routine. Certain oils have specific properties that can help reduce feelings of stress and promote emotional well-being.
According to doTERRA, oils like Lavender, Bergamot, Adaptiv® and Calmer are particularly effective for creating a calming atmosphere. Lavender is well-known for its soothing properties, helping to calm both the body and mind. Bergamot, a citrus oil, can uplift your mood and ease anxious feelings. Adaptiv® is a doTERRA blend specially formulated to support those dealing with stressful situations.
When using oils, consider how to apply them. Diffusing oils into the air allows you to experience their benefits through aromatherapy, while diluted topical application on pulse points, such as wrists or temples, offers another way to promote relaxation.
Building a Calm Environment
Creating a space that encourages relaxation can be as simple as diffusing essential oils, playing soft music, or dimming the lights. Incorporating elements that make you feel grounded and at peace is key to managing stress.
According to doTERRA, their Balance® Grounding Blend is ideal for promoting feelings of tranquility and well-being. Combining it with regular self-care activities, like journaling or meditation, can further enhance a sense of calm.
Finally, remember that managing stress is not a one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s okay. Experiment with different tools like essential oils, mindful practices, and healthy habits to find what helps you most.
If stress begins to feel overwhelming, it’s important to seek support from coach or a healthcare professional. They can help you navigate more severe or chronic stress in ways that support your long-term health.
By combining these natural strategies, you’ll be better equipped to manage stress and lead a more balanced, peaceful life.
