My good friend is allergic to grains and so we are always trying to find tasty snacks for her. She was at a markets and discovered the most delicious raw apricot slice and asked me to re-create it. We had a play and came up with a divine bliss ball recipe, but it needed something extra to cut through the sweetness of the honey and the apricots. I opened my oil box and my trusty fav cinnamon started to sing at me. I added two drops and BAM it was magical. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! 

My kids have an annoying habit of taking two bites of an apple then deciding they are full. I hate throwing away a perfectly good apple, so I would cut away the bite marks and then use the apples to make this cake! It’s got no sugar, and is a great little lunchbox treat or a healthy snack.

Whether you want a quick healthy snack or you just want a sweet guilt-free treat, these bliss balls will hit the spot every time. They are easy to make and easy to eat. You can change the essential oil for different flavours. Enjoy!

I hope your Christmas was filled with good food, good friends and beautiful memories! This was the first year our toddler really understood what was going on and it was such a blessing to see all the magic and excitement of Christmas through the eyes of a child.

As the new year kicks off, it’s a great time to pause and reflect on the highs and lows of last year, and think about what we want to do different this year. In our Facebook group (Lavender & Friends Oil Squad) one of the challenges has been to share about how you are using your oils to support any new year goals you have set. I’ve loved seeing what people are focusing on to help make their 2018 a great year!

As the holiday season begins and things start to get a bit crazy with Christmas parties and end of the year madness, I just wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been with me on this oil journey.

If you told me this time last year that I’d be running my own business and changing people’s lives by sharing essential oils with them, I’d have thought you were crazy! I feel truly blessed to have found a heart centered business opportunity and I’m so excited to see what next year will bring.

I love making these up as a quick gift. You can make any combination of scents depending on who it's for! It leaves your skin silky smooth and smelling divine. 

Here is a super easy and super cute Christmas gift idea! Bath bombs are quick and easy to make, and they look adorable. You can find citric acid at your local supermarket, although you mind have better luck with finding it in bulk in a health food store on online.

What a huge month October was! Thank you to everyone who attended the Central Coast Oil Expo, it was a fabulous day and I had so much fun sharing my love of using oils in my cooking. I hope you were all inspired to go home and whip out your baking trays! The “Cooking with Essential Oils” e-book has been mailed out, so if you didn’t receive your copy please let me know.
