Currently can’t live without: Essential Oils

Call it my secret weapon (weapons?) for unwinding and relaxing. You saw me mention essential oils quite a lot over the last couple of months, but why do I love them so much?

Your inspo for the week: 10 quotes to get you through a bad day

Ever have one of those days when nothing in particular goes “wrong” but you feel a bit… off? I had one of those days today. I was at work, trying desperately to catch up on a few deadlines and everything kept going wrong. I found it so difficult to focus and ended up redoing half of my work about three times. At one point I had to step away from my desk, take a few deep breaths and try again.…
