For some reason, plants always caught my eye whether in public or in someone’s home. Since we moved into our own home, I love rearranging my plants, rotating them towards the sun, and even moving my plants to different rooms. I also enjoy keeping their foliage clean and dust free. I don’t use any products to keep their leaves shiny. If my houseplants are dusty or dirty, I just splash some water on them for a little shower.
My first experience using an oil diffuser was an eye-opener! I loved using it. I kept it near me wherever I was in the house! At night, I would keep it on my nightstand and turn it on when I went to bed. It was so much fun trying the different essential oils!

This month, my son and I started our new chapter in a new home. Knowing we had to move, I wanted new mattresses and found tulo. I knew I wanted a memory foam mattress that was affordable, easy to set up, CertiPur-US certified, Made in the USA, and breathable! I’ve tried other brands of memory foam mattresses and the last one I had, it was so hot!
My son and I moved into our new home a few weeks ago. Before moving in, there was some deep cleaning I wanted to get done, such as getting our carpets professionally cleaned. The previous owner had a cat (we are allergic) and the carpets just looked dingy and dirty. After the cleaning, our carpets looked much better! However, there is still a smell here and there.
My son and I moved back to California over a year ago and during that time, we’ve had a few fires throughout the state that devastated the cities and towns affected. The most destructive wildfire was the Camp Fire in Butte County, which is about 100 miles north of us. The Camp Fire affected our area with horrible air quality. We had smokey, grey, and orange skies for over a week. There were days when the smoke was at street level and it looked like fog!
Two years ago was one of the worst moments of my life when I woke up in one of the biggest hospitals in the state after being hit head-on by a drunk driver. This resulted in massive injuries for me as I took the brunt of the damage. I suffered three out of my four limbs broken. I left arm broke so bad that I now have a plate and eight screws in it, my right wrist has a pin in it and my right heel was crushed and then reconstructed with cadaver bone. I was in a wheelchair for over 6 months before learning to rewalk. So pain is something that I’ve come to live with on a daily basis. Unfortunately, conventional methods of pain control don’t help that much and I didn’t want to get addicted to painkillers. So I’ve started to research alternative health ideas and options to help ease the pain.
I love oil diffusers. I keep one going whenever I am home. I like using them at my bedside, work desk, or while relaxing in the living room. Essential oils are so versatile as they can be used to naturally clean around your home, add scent to our air, boost our mood, calm anxiety, or help cleanse the air we breathe.
One of my favorite oil diffusers is the Ancient Apothecary Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser for its beautiful and unique shape! I keep it at my desk and have it going as I work.
I used to walk every morning during the week after putting my son on the bus. However, with the Camp Fire burning for weeks now in Northern California, our skies have been smokey, grey, and orange! It’s too unhealthy to be outside right now, so I’ve been trying to stay indoors as much as possible.
Instead, I’ve been using my oil diffuser, essential oils, and a salt lamp to help clean and purify the air. I also have several houseplants around the home, so they are helping to purify our air. Lastly, I just bought another air purifier to really keep our air clean and fresh.
I am working to slim down. I know I’ve slacked the last few weeks and haven’t been able to go for my morning walk! There are also times when I don’t have the energy or time to work out. With that, I am still trying to be healthy and eat well! I aim to drink plenty of water too!
