Half-a-Hippie: Post #1

So here it is - my inaugural post for Half-a-Hippie. There's some other (much older) content on here that I was going to delete but I decided to keep it. Mostly because I don't have time to deal with it. Anyways...welcome.

A Few Things To Note:
1. I'm a perfectionist and a people pleaser. I come across as tough, but my feelings get hurt very easily. Please don't hurt my feelings.

2. I'm really opinionated and it takes every ounce of self control I can muster to keep my opinions to myself. Sometimes I fail, so you'll get to read about them here.

3. The perfectionist in me tries really hard to spell check and use proper grammar, but I'm busy. And tired. I have a full-time job, a husband that blessed me with 2 kids under two and a little side gig I'm working on. Forgive me a grammar mistake here and their.

See how I did that...see what I did there? The perfectionist in me can't stand that I just purposefully made a grammar mistake. But I'm going to leave it to prove a point.

4. I am fiercely loyal. If you were mean to someone I care about, you're dead to me. A few have overcome this, but not many. That's the Scorpio in me.

5. It's really driving me crazy to leave that "their" up there on #3.



Part of my mission here is to share my half-a-hippie ways. I call myself "half a hippie" because I haven't gone full on crunchy, hippy. I still use a microwave and I do not make my own butter. Yet. I'm just kinda crunchy for now. And this all just started when I got pregnant with my first child. I became more concerned with what I was putting in her body and those concerns led me down a new path. I'm learning as I go and I have a long ways to go! A large part of my hippie ways includes using Young Living essential oils for health and wellness, so I'll end every post with "Oils I've Used Today".


Oils I've Used Today:
Orange - Added 2 drops in my water because it tastes good and boosts my energy
Lavender - I swiped it across my 18 month old's brow bone several times for watery, allergy eyes and used it on an annoying scrape on my knuckle to promote healing
Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint - known as the "allergy bomb", I diffused this in the play room to help both babies with allergies
R.C. - this is a special blend of 10 oils created by Young Living. I've been diffusing and applying it to both babies for a cough and cold they picked up on vacation.
