I Love Watching the Summer Olympics! One of my favorite things to watch is Gymnastics.  Women’s?  Men’s?  It doesn’t matter.  I love it! I think it is crazy insane the way that they can be both strong and flexible at the same time!  Now, that’s not to dismiss the other amazing athletes in the world, this is just the sport that is my favorite to watch. Why is gymnastics my favorite, you may ask?  Well, when I was a little girl, I fancied myself a gymnast for a while.   I didn’t make it to the Olympics, but I was pretty good if I say so, myself! My Path to ..read more

My New Penpal! By now, you know that I have relocated to Guam for a few years because of my hubs’ job.  A friend of mine back in Texas had some questions and I thought, maybe some of you have questions too.  So, here is the conversation that I had with Mia- a 7-year old student in Austin and she asked some GREAT questions. This is the message I received from her mom, one of my old band-mates.  Mia studied Guam today during her humanities time. She’s gonna put together some questions about living there to ask you. I know you’re not an expert yet, but we’d appreciate any feedback ..read more

Heat Hives?

Overview A client and her husband were staying at an Air BnB in a tropical location.  My client started noticing welts on her arm the very next day and attributed it to her body acclimating to the much warmer and humid climate.  Her son has a history of cholinergic urticaria, also known as heat hives, so she attributed these welts to the same condition (Lou, 2019).  She states that she noticed more and more each day and became concerned that she was not acclimating well.  On the ninth night of residency, she made note of the amount of welts on her skin and when she awoke in ..read more

Quality Matters
Aromatic Remedies

Back in June of 2017, my blog post touched on today’s topic: Essential Oil Quality Matters. Not all essential oils (EO) or suppliers are the same. Many of them are out to make a quick buck off of the ignorance of the general populace by using words like “Therapeutic,” “All Natural,” “100% pure,” and more. All of those words sound great, but you need to understand something about essential oils. The EO industry is not regulated. “Oh my word! That’s terrible! Why not?” Well, it all comes down to intended use. According to the FDA: Under the law, how “aromatherapy” products are regulated depen ..read more

Have I mentioned that I love taking road trips? At the end of September, I loaded up my car and headed for Minneapolis! My assistant and most excellent friend, Abby, came with me and we made several stops along the way. We had lunch with a friend in Abilene, spent the night with some other friends up in Kansas, and finally made it to our destination on Thursday. I’m a noob! This is the first conference I have attended of my professional organization; the Alliance of International Aromatherapists. I have been asked why I chose this organization. My answer? I want to be a part of something bigg ..read more

I Love How God Works! It’s true!  I love watching how God works in my life and in other’s lives.  I also love when He chooses to use me to help others.  I have said, on more than one occasion, that I don’t know WHY He sent me to school to become an Aromatherapist, I just know that He DID.  Maybe it’s simply to help my family and friends through whatever life throws their direction, or maybe it’s to help people who happen to find me and want to try out a holistic approach to their health.  All I know is that I’m along for the ride and willing to move in whatever directi ..read more
