Meet Neli Dume

 
My name is Neli. Welcome to my page. 
 
This blog was born with a desire to share my passion for essential oils and to help others achieve a more healthy and balanced life. 
I am the wife of an amazing husband and mother of four awesome kids who are very active and play multiple sports. As a family, we spend a lot of time in the outdoors. We love hiking, camping, fishing, hunting – just about everything outdoors.
 
As former physical education teachers, my husband and I understand the benefits of a healthy and balanced life. We try to incorporate this in our family and want to share this with our friends and others with a passion to live this way.

Natural Wellness at Home: 7 Essential Oil Hacks You’ll Love



Essential oils aren’t just for fancy spas or DIY projects — they’re for real life! These little bottles are packed with powerful plant goodness that can freshen up your home, lift your mood, ease aches, and even help you sleep better.
If you’ve ever wondered how to actually use essential oils every day, I’m breaking it down for you — nice and simple. No complicated recipes or routines. Just real-life ways you can bring a little more natural wellness into your home starting today!


1. Freshen Up Your Fridge

Let’s be honest — sometimes the fridge gets a little funky.
Here’s an easy fix: grab a small bowl, pour in some baking soda, and add about 15 drops of lemon essential oil. Stick it on a shelf, and you’ll have a fresh-smelling fridge for weeks. No more weird odors greeting you every time you open the door!

2. De-Stink Your Shoes

If you’ve got sneakers that could use some TLC, try this:
Add a few drops of peppermint, tea tree, or eucalyptus oil onto a cotton ball, and tuck it into each shoe overnight. You can even make a quick spray — mix water and a few drops of oil in a little bottle and spritz your shoes after wearing them. Easy, natural, and so much fresher!

3. Boost Your Energy

That mid-afternoon crash is real. Instead of reaching for more caffeine, pop a few drops of peppermint or citrus oils into your diffuser.
These oils are natural energizers — they’ll help you feel more awake, clear-headed, and ready to finish strong.

4. Calm a Queasy Stomach

Feeling a little off? Essential oils to the rescue!
Add a few drops of peppermint or chamomile to your diffuser for a soothing aroma. Or dilute some peppermint oil with a carrier oil and rub it on your wrists and temples. It’s especially handy if you’re dealing with motion sickness or that “blah” feeling.

5. Soothe Sore Muscles

Long day? Tough workout? No worries.
Mix a few drops of eucalyptus and peppermint oils with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) and massage it into sore muscles. Not only does it help ease the aches, but the cooling, fresh scent is super relaxing too.

6. Boost Your Immune System

Stay ahead of sniffle season!
Eucalyptus is amazing for supporting your immune system, and when you blend it with lemon oil, it smells fresh and clean. Diffuse them together daily to keep your home (and your body) feeling strong.

7. Keep Bugs Away (Naturally!)

Nobody wants to be a bug buffet.
Bugs can’t stand citrus oils like lemon and lime. Mix a few drops in a spray bottle with water and mist around doorways, windows, or even your picnic table outside. It’s an easy, chemical-free way to enjoy summer without all the swatting.

Final Thoughts

Essential oils are like little bottles of nature’s magic — simple, powerful, and full of ways to make your everyday life a little better.
You don’t need to do anything fancy. Start small. Try one or two of these ideas and see how it feels. You might just fall in love with the way they make you, your home, and your family feel.

Got a favorite oil you can't live without? I’d love to hear about it! 💬✨
