As many of you know by now, I’m deep into essential oils. And by deep, I mean if you’ve got a problem, I’ve got an oil for it. I find myself reaching for oils for just about anything these days; think immunity support, mood balancing, sinus issues, energy and creativity boosts, household cleaning…the list goes on and on.
That’s why I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share my love for the oily life down at 30-A this week during The Southern C’s Watercolor Wellness Retreat. I’m dishing on social media and digital strategy to small business owners and creative entrepreneurs, but I’m also sharing my journey with essential oils and why I launched Waiting On Martha Everydaye, WOM’s sister wellness brand.
The cat’s out of the bag on this one, but we’ll be sharing our favorite DIY essential oil rollerball recipe with all of the retreat attendees. We dubbed it “Be Well” because its many benefits pretty much sum up our entire mission to keep your “well full.” This special blend of essential oils includes lavender, cedarwood and orange, and it is incredibly calming, grounding and relaxing. It’s perfect for the bosses and dreamers out there—hello, creative friends!—because it enhances focus. The lavender and cedarwood work together to help relax the mind, while the orange really reinvigorates and enhances creativity.
Like all DIY rollerball recipes, when making this blend yourself, pick up some 10-ml dark glass rollerball bottles. The dark glass helps preserve the beneficial properties of the oils inside. You’ll simply mix the essential oils in the bottle, and top off with a carrier oil of your choice. If you’re new to all things oily, you can use whatever oil you prefer here; I used organic grapeseed oil in this recipe, but I also like to use fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil too.
