HAIR REMOVAL // Do you wax, shave or epilate? I have just started to use an epilator again and for short-term pain you really do get long-term gain. And it’s not even all that painful — those thick ones on the front of your lower shin is the only area you need to be brave about then the rest is smooth sailing. I often get a few red spots after epilating (and waxing) and thought I’d share my post-hair removal soothing moisturiser with you because it’s AMAZING. I use half a cup or Aloe Vera Gel and mix in 5 drops each of Lavender, Tea Tree and Grapefruit essential oils. I massage it all over my legs to help soothe any minor irritation and nourish the skin. If you have any left over you can store it in a small glass container and reapply after your next shower but I generally rub it all in as it absorbs really quickly and you can apply multiple layers if desired. 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓾𝓶𝓶𝔂.𝓬𝓸𝓶.𝓪𝓾 #theessentialmummy #doterraaunz #doterra #aromatherapy #essentialoils #liveinspired #mindbodysoul #mumlife #schoolpickup #holisticmama #mindbodyspirit #raiseyourvibrations #holisticliving #healthyhappylife #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #nontoxichome #inspirationdaily #cleanliving #dailydetox #naturopath #apothecary #mumlife #epilator #hairremoval #epilate #waxing #summerlegs https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_QmTinVmx/?igshid=1dziax2xr3eeo

IN THE GARDEN // I took this photo last weekend of our youngest helping daddy plant trees. This is how spring in Melbourne looks — freezing! In this world of increasing technology, our little ones are spending more of their time in front of screens and less time outdoors. Exploring outside gives children the freedom to exercise their curiosity and develop problem-solving skills. And hands-on activities such as gardening gives young minds the opportunity to explore concepts about science, responsibility, conservation and nutrition. These benefits can help reduce stress and even make for happier, calmer kids. One of my parenting theories is ‘Sun’s out kids out’. If it’s not freezing cold and hailing the girls are encouraged to play outside. And even if it is cold, a jacket and beanie will keep them warm! Unfortunately though the mozzies are going crazy at home. I use doTERRA Terra Armour, a pre-diluted natural insect repellent including Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Catnip, Lemon Eucalyptus, Litsea, Arborvitae, Nootka, and Vanilla Bean Absolute.

COFFEE TIME // It must be school pick up time because my body is telling me I need more caffeine! Can you relate? I’m trying to only have two coffees ☕️ ☕️ before midday and only drink tea in the afternoon. I’ll tell you how successful I’ve been if I ever actually achieve this goal! However I do know for a FACT that essential oils are able to boost my energy and give me that extra bit of ‘get up and go’ around mid-afternoon. This blend is one of my favourites to put on before I pick the girls up from school so it hits when we walk back through the door 🚪 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓾𝓶𝓶𝔂.𝓬𝓸𝓶.𝓪𝓾 #theessentialmummy #doterraaunz #doterra #aromatherapy #essentialoils #liveinspired #mindbodysoul #mumlife #schoolpickup #holisticmama #mindbodyspirit #raiseyourvibrations #holisticliving #healthyhappylife #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #nontoxichome #inspirationdaily #cleanliving #dailydetox #naturopath #apothecary #afternoonpickmeup #threethirtyitis #itsathing #coffeetime https://www.instagram.com/p/B3tIBUlngsm/?igshid=nreis9h9p2ln

We have an 8:30am basketball game in the morning so the family will be out the door by 7:45. I’m generally an early riser so I like to put some essential oils in the diffuser while I shower and get ready in the mornings. ⁣ ⁣ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛-𝐛-𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞! ⁣ ⁣ Peppermint is famous for reducing fatigue and being super energising.⁣ ⁣ Spearmint’s sweet, refreshing aroma is cleansing and uplifting, making it ideal to evoke a sense of focus and positive mood — and I need that before my coffee!⁣ ⁣ Many think wintergreen is a member of the mint family, but it actually is not!⁣ Wintergreen essential oil is made up mostly of the chemical methyl salicylate and is a really uplifting and stimulating essential oil.⁣ ⁣ So whatever is on your to-do list this weekend I hope you can jump out of bed and enjoy yourself with some extra energy! There are so many energising essential oils — What others do you like to use? #theessentialmummy #aromatherapy #essentialoils #oilobsessed #essentialoilsforchildren #liveinspired #mindbodysoul #holisticmama #holisticliving #greenlifestyle #healthyhappylife #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #nontoxichome #nontoxicliving #nontoxicskincare #organiclifestyle #lookwithin #inspirationdaily #naturopathy #apothecary #doterra #doterraaunz #getupandgo #earlyriser #goodmorning https://www.instagram.com/p/B3eaMeEH90V/?igshid=swwn8fs75j49

HEAD LICE | I find as soon as school starts back in Spring, so too do the head lice. Lice are no fun for parent or child and I try my best to avoid them coming home and jumping around all of our heads! Every morning I ensure the girls have their hair pulled back and spray my magic spray. Add the essential oils listed below along with the solubiliser (mixes oil with water) and shake well. I’ve made it up in a 100ml glass atomiser bottle you can purchase from The Essential Mummy Online store. 
 What you need is: 5 drops Tea Tree
5 drops Eucalyptus 
10 drops Rosemary
1 teaspoon Solubiliser 
Fill with cool boiled water Lice apparently hate the smell of these oils and don’t like to set up shop on oily hair. I honestly recommend making some up and doing your best to prevent these little pests!
