I have wanted to share more, to be more transparent, in an effort to help others who may be in a similar spot to me to not feel so alone. I’ve wanted to do this via Youtube because there is something about seeing another human that helps us feel not so alone in our struggles. And I’ve tried. But I have to be honest…

There are four new products releasing on October 1st! I don’t know that I could be any more excited than I am right now about these particular products.

A Canary in the Coal Mine

I have spent most of the last 13 years of my life avoiding talking too much one very specific topic. My chronic pain. I never wanted to focus on it outwardly because it rules my life hindering so much of what I want to do with my life and how I exist day to day. Beyond the cursory acknowledgment of it I didn’t want to go into what it actual is like living with it. In short - a nightmare…

4 Reasons to Use Essential Oils (and 3 reasons to not)

There is little else in this world my body responds to in the same way it responds to essential oils. The oils can illicit physiological and emotional responses. I hate to call it biohacking, but there are ways to use the oils and how they work with your bio-individuality to support your body…

We'll Make it Through {sneezes in spring}

We are full into Florida spring. God help us. I have no idea what is blooming but my body does not like it. Sneezing and inflamed sinuses only exacerbate my trigeminal neuralgia. So, what do we do? Use our tools. Here’s the plan…

Staring Down the New Year

I have a lot of feelings about the new year. I love planning and creating systems and organization so you can imagine I love a new year turning. There is something about it that feels like a blank slate - and my calendar is yet blank for the new year (anyone else a paper planner person?). The harsh reality is - I will still have trigeminal neuralgia …

Weaving the Magic in the Mundane - or how life has been lately

It would take hundreds of pages to explain it all. Neither of us have time for that now. I’ll just pick up like we’re old friends. The long story of it all will be scattered in and out of my personal updates and musings… but I felt like there needed to be a moment of recognition.

DIY: Home Insect Repellent

It’s that time of year again. Spring is in full bloom and the insects are making their home a little too close. (i.e. inside my home)…

Spring Musings

Spring is in full force here. (How lucky we are, I know.) The azaleas, jasmine, forest rose, camellia, and citrus are blooming. The scent wafting in the air is heavenly this time of year. The seeds I planted are up and just getting their first true leaves…

Protecting your Energy with Essential Oils

Any time I’m down or I need a little assistance blocking outside energetic noise - these are the oils that I use.

Essential Oils for Seasonal Discomfort

It’s that time of year again. Seems like everyone we know is coughing, sneezing, or just fatigued and run-down. These are my essential oil and herbal secret weapons that are my go-to this season.

Spiced Vinegar

In April of this year I made my first batch of spiced vinegar. It’s surprisingly tasty. I use this as a bitter before I eat lunch . . .

My name is Leah. One of my passions in life is to encourage others to bring intentional beauty into their lives and embrace their personal sovereignty.

Not that I have all the answers - far from it. I share my experiences in hopes that it helps others along their own path.
