Confession time. I have a thing about office supplies. Journals, colorful pens, decorative tape dispensers, sticky notes with cute sayings... I'm a sucker for all of it. I love organizational tools too. I don't always use them but I have them just in case.  This year I am not doing resolutions. I really quit that a few years ago. Instead, I want to make new habits and see progress. Perfectionism has been a problem for me and this method is one way I can stay out of that never-good-enough putting-too-much-pressure-on-myself loop so I can actually get things done and move forward.  The first page of my first bullet journal. Planners are a way of life for me. I use the Google calendar and regular planner. It seems like double the work but for me, it is very helpful. I like being able to quickly put in an appointment on my phone and later putting it in my journal style planner and to see the big picture and plan out the future.  ...

I am the gal who said I will only use the oils sparingly, and just those we absolutely need. Well, Can I tell you we NEED a lot of oils! Really. It was ignorance of the potential in those wonderful little drops that I said those things.  Guess what? My productivity and emotional health have greatly benefitted from an oily drop as well. So here are just a few to get you started on and happier and more productive life.  This is my go-to every day for myself and my son. It helps me with mom overload. For my son, he stays on task so much better and in general is more productive in every part of his life. Including things like keeping his room clean, doing his chores without my nagging him and completing school tasks he finds tedious.  I personally apply to the base of the brain and the crown of the head. Don't forget to sniff the bottle. Contains: Roman Camomile, Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Lavender All of my oily friends...
