Discover the top three essential oils to enhance your well-being this fall. From supporting your immune system to creating fresh, welcoming spaces, these blends are staples in my seasonal wellness routine.
Welcoming the Fall Season 🍂
As the leaves change and the crisp air rolls in, fall can feel both cozy and busy. Schedules get fuller, daylight shortens, and our bodies often ask for a little extra care. That’s why I lean on essential oils — simple, natural tools that help me feel supported and keep my home fresh as the season shifts.
Here are the three blends I never go without when autumn arrives.
1. Thieves – Immune Support Daily 🌿
The first on my list is Thieves. This famous blend combines clove, cinnamon bark, lemon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. It’s my go-to for daily immune support — especially helpful as we transition into cooler weather.
✨ How I use it:
- Diffuse during the day for a warm, spicy aroma
- Place one drop on the bottoms of my feet morning and night for a wellness boost
It’s a small daily ritual that helps me feel stronger and ready for the season.
2. R.C. – Clear Breathing 🌬️
Next up is R.C., short for Respiratory Care. It blends eucalyptus, myrtle, pine, lavender, peppermint, and more. This one is amazing for those moments when the air feels heavy or when you just want to breathe more deeply.
✨ How I use it:
- Diffuse at night to support restful breathing
- Apply a few drops (diluted) on my chest for a refreshing lift
It’s like a breath of fresh air in a bottle.
3. Purification – Fresh Air Anywhere ✨
The third blend is Purification — my secret for keeping every space fresh. With lemongrass, rosemary, tea tree, lavandin, and citronella, it neutralizes odors and leaves behind a light, clean aroma.
✨ How I use it:
- Diffuse after cooking or when the house feels stale
- Place a drop on a cotton ball and tuck it into shoes, closets, gym bags, or even the garbage can
It’s truly “fresh air in a bottle.”
Why These Three?
Together, these blends cover my fall wellness basics:
- Strength & support with Thieves
- Clear breathing with R.C.
- Fresh, inviting spaces with Purification
They’re simple, practical, and powerful — everything I want as the season changes.
Final Thoughts 🍂
You don’t need a shelf full of products to feel good this fall. A few key oils can support your body, lift your mood, and make your home a sanctuary.

If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up natural energy and stamina—without needing another cup of coffee—you’re going to love this.
NingXia Red is Young Living’s signature superfruit drink, and it’s packed with nutrients that support your energy, hormones, and whole-body wellness. The best part? You don’t need a blender, juicer, or complicated recipes—just 2–4 oz a day.
✨ The Story Behind NingXia Red
This powerful drink comes from the Ningxia wolfberry (aka goji berry), grown in a small region of Northern China. The people there were known for their strength, vitality, and longevity—and scientists traced it back to the wild wolfberries they consumed daily.
Young Living founder Gary Young brought this treasure to the world in the 1990s, and now we get to enjoy it in a simple, delicious daily shot.
💪 Why NingXia Red Works
1. Antioxidant Powerhouse
One ounce of NingXia Red = two pounds of wolfberries. Add in blueberries, cherries, aronia, and pomegranate, and you’ve got an antioxidant storm that protects your cells from damage, aging, and fatigue.
- ORAC score (antioxidant capacity): 27,300 (compare that to blueberries at just 3,000!)
This means more protection against free radicals—the “bad guys” that speed up aging, wrinkles, and low energy.
2. Alkaline Support
Most of what we eat turns acidic in the body, which feeds inflammation, bacteria, and fatigue. Wolfberries are unique—they switch from acid to alkaline once digested, helping restore balance. (The only other food known to do this? Lemons!)
3. Fuel for Your Cells
NingXia Red is loaded with natural sugars and enzymes that act like keys to your cells—opening the door so nutrients can actually get in. By age 40, most of us have lost a big portion of our digestive enzymes. NingXia helps fill in the gap so you actually absorb what you eat.
4. Vitamin & Mineral Rich
The NingXia wolfberry is unmatched in nutrition:
- All essential amino acids (building blocks for muscle & hormones)
- Highest protein content of any fruit (13%)
- More Vitamin C than oranges (148 mg vs. 53 mg)
- Balanced minerals: perfect ratios of calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and potassium
- Beta-carotene for eye & skin health (higher than carrots!)
5. Infused with Essential Oils
Lemon, orange, yuzu, and tangerine essential oils don’t just add flavor—they help nutrients absorb better and deliver them straight to your cells.
🌟 My Favorite Part
NingXia Red doesn’t give you a jittery spike like coffee or energy drinks. It fuels your mitochondria (your body’s little power plants), so you get steady, natural energy all day long—without the crash.
👩🦰 How I Use It
I take 2 oz in the morning for a clean start to my day and another 2 oz mid-afternoon instead of reaching for sugar or coffee. Sometimes I add it to sparkling water or a smoothie—it tastes amazing either way!
And yes, my kids and grandkids love it too—it’s safe and delicious for the whole family.
💡 Final Thoughts
Energy isn’t something you borrow (like caffeine). It’s something your body makes when you give it the right tools. NingXia Red does exactly that—it feeds your body nutrients it can actually use to keep you energized, focused, and thriving.

🌿 Lavender Essential Oil for Menopause Support: Benefits, Research & How to Use
💜 Why Lavender Oil Is Becoming a Go-To Menopause Remedy
Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet it can bring challenges that affect both physical and emotional well-being. In fact, about 95% of women enter menopause and then spend roughly one-third of their lives in the post-menopausal stage.
Common symptoms include:
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness
- Sleep issues
- Reduced sexual desire
- Mood swings, depression, and anxiety
- Cognitive changes
Many women look for natural menopause remedies to avoid side effects from conventional treatments. One plant-based option getting attention is lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia), known for its calming, hormone-supportive properties.
While lifestyle adjustments, diet, and exercise play a big role in symptom relief, natural plant-based remedies like lavender essential oil are also gaining attention — both in research and in traditional use.
🧪 Lavender Oil & Menopause: What the Science Says
A triple-blind clinical trial explored the effects of 80 mg of oral lavender essential oil (about two drops) daily for 60 days in menopausal women.
Results:
- Both lavender and placebo groups improved in mood, anxiety, hot flashes, and depression.
- Only the lavender group showed improved sexual function — a crucial but often overlooked part of menopause health.

This suggests that lavender oil may be especially helpful for supporting sexual wellness during menopause — an area often overlooked in traditional symptom management.

💬 Final Thoughts
Menopause is a season of change — but it doesn’t have to mean losing your vitality, intimacy, or joy.
Research and tradition both suggest that lavender essential oil can be a gentle, natural support for physical comfort, emotional balance, and sexual health.
Let’s be honest… when you’re first starting with essential oils, it can feel a little too much.
There are so many bottles. So many names. So many ways to use them.
You might be thinking:
“Where do I even start?”
“What if I do it wrong?”
“How do I know which oil is for what?”So let’s break it down 💧
🌿 First: What are essential oils, really?
They’re highly concentrated plant extracts.
Think of it as the most powerful part of a plant — captured in a tiny drop.
Think of it as the most powerful part of a plant — captured in a tiny drop.
They’ve been used for centuries to support mood, sleep, hormones, skin, digestion, energy, and more.
But unlike synthetic perfumes or fake “aromatherapy” products at the store… real essential oils (like Young Living) are pure and potent. That’s why we use just 1–2 drops at a time.
✨ 3 Easy Ways to Use Oils (Even If You’re New):
1. Smell them (Aromatically)
This is the fastest way to shift your mood or energy.
✅ Put a drop in your palm, rub hands together, and inhale deeply
✅ Or pop a few drops into a diffuser (I love Lavender + Orange in the evening)
✅ Put a drop in your palm, rub hands together, and inhale deeply
✅ Or pop a few drops into a diffuser (I love Lavender + Orange in the evening)
🟣 My favorite to start with: Valor – it’s grounding, calming, and smells like confidence in a bottle.
2. Apply them to your skin (Topically)
Most oils can be used on the body — just mix 1–2 drops with a little carrier oil like coconut or olive oil.
✅ Rub on the bottoms of your feet, back of your neck, or your belly
✅ You can also make your own roller bottle blends (it’s easier than it sounds!)
🟣 Example: PanAway on sore muscles or Peace & Calming on your wrists at night
3. Take them with you (Daily Routine)
Start using oils as part of your normal routine — this is where the magic happens.
✅ A drop of Peppermint on your shirt before your walk
✅ A roll of Stress Away before your meeting
✅ A whiff of En-R-Gee instead of that 3pm coffee
Oils are tools. Use them daily, and your body will start responding.
🤔 But what if I don’t know which oils to use?
That’s exactly what I help women with — choosing oils that match your season of life, your body, and your goals.
Start simple. You don’t need 100 oils. You need 3–5 good ones you actually use.
Remember, oils carry energy and frequency. When you use them with intention, they know where to go and how to support you. It’s like your body and the oils are having a conversation — you just need to listen and trust the process.
So, don’t stress about having every oil under the sun. Use what you have, focus on your intentions, and let the oils do their magic.
If you want help picking your perfect 3–5 or learning how to use them with intention, I’m here for you. Let’s make it simple and powerful together!

Waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. every night — especially if it's a consistent pattern — can be a sign that your body or mind is trying to tell you something. Here are the most common reasons this happens, especially for women over 40:
🧠 1. Stress or Cortisol Spike
- Your stress hormone cortisol is naturally supposed to rise in the early morning — but if it's too high too early, it can wake you up suddenly.
- This can happen due to chronic stress, overtraining, under-eating, or adrenal dysregulation.
Tip: Try calming oils like Lavender, Cedarwood, or Stress Away at bedtime. A diffuser or drops on your pillow can help lower cortisol.
🩸 2. Blood Sugar Drop
- If your blood sugar crashes overnight, your body releases adrenaline to bring it back up — which can jolt you awake.
- Common if you:
- Skip meals
- Eat low-protein/high-carb dinners
- Drink alcohol before bed
Tip: Add a small protein + fat snack before bed (e.g., a boiled egg + a few almonds or Greek yogurt).
🌡️ 3. Hormonal Fluctuations (Perimenopause or Menopause)
- Around 3–4 a.m., estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest, and that can mess with temperature regulation and sleep stability.
- Hot flashes, night sweats, or anxiety-like awakenings are common.
Tip: Use hormone-supportive oils (like Clary Sage, Progessence Plus, or EndoFlex) and track your symptoms.
🧠 4. Overactive Mind or Emotional Processing
- If your mind is racing with worry, planning, or emotional stress, your nervous system stays “on”, even while you sleep.
- Waking up at the same time every night could be tied to emotional tension not being fully released during the day.
Tip: Journal before bed or use an oil like Frankincense or Sacred Mountain to calm your thoughts.
🌙 5. Sleep Environment or Lifestyle Habits
- Blue light before bed, inconsistent sleep/wake time, caffeine after 2 p.m., or even a cold bedroom can disrupt your sleep cycle.
- Sometimes waking up becomes a habit — your body learns the pattern.
Tip: Wind down with a solid bedtime ritual — no screens, warm tea, light stretching, calming oils.( Lavender, Cedarwood, Frankincense)
🔁 BONUS: Traditional Chinese Medicine Insight
According to the Chinese Body Clock, 3–5 a.m. is when the lungs and grief are activated. Some believe waking at this time reflects emotional release or stuck energy, especially if you're processing sadness or a big life change.
