How I Use Essential Oils Every Day {Day in the Life of an Oiler Series}

Welcome to the beginning of the Day In The Life of an Oiler Blogger Series!  I am SO EXCITED about this series. Y’all know that I love my essential oils, but many of you have asked exactly how I use the oils on a daily basis.

It can be a little overwhelming starting out using essential oils, so to simplify I thought it would be fun to pack a week full of “oily” information and inspiration! You will get the perspective from 20 different bloggers who use Young Living essential oils! This is going to be fun, y’all! 🙂 Everyone’s links are at the end of this post. I will be updating the list all week!

Here is my “A Day in the Life of an Oiler”, but may I add one caveat? These times are approximate, yo! I’m a routine-er….not a schedule-er. 🙂

7:00 A.M. – I wake up, roll over and read my devotionals before my feet hit the floor.

Morning Oily Routine – I sit up in bed and put a drop of Frankincense on my crown for grounding and balancing, Valor on my wrists for emotional support, Joy on my heart for a natural pick-me-up, Thieves on my feet for immune boosting, EndoFlex on my thyroid for endocrine support and Purification on my throat {we were fighting the sickies and I was determined not to get sick!}.

I walk to the kitchen where I make my Lemon water and put on my favorite lip gloss. Then I check and respond to emails and Facebook messages. I check our private Facebook group for essential oil users to make sure everyone’s questions are being answered.

8:00 – Boys are awake. We snuggle and I oil them up for the day. Peace & Calming goes on Ridley’s big toes, Breathe Again roll-on  under Cameron’s toes (he was a little sniffly) and Thieves on both their feet. Easy peasy. Done.

8:15 –  I make the boys toast from homemade bread and I cut up oranges and cheese slices to go along with it. Yum! I eat my usual – a boiled egg and half piece of toast. 🙂

8:45 – Boys are done eating, so we all take our supplements and we get dressed and ready for the day. I take a swig of NingXia Red and I give the boys each a sip. YUM!

9:00 – Before sitting down to do our daily Bible time and pre-school time, I get Peace & Calming going in the diffuser. LOVE that stuff!

9:30 – The boys have play time. I do laundry, dishes and neaten up. I putter around doing different things. A mother’s job is never done. 😉

10:30 – Snack and reading time. The boys eat Annie’s Bunnies or gluten free Animal Crackers and I have a Honeycrisp apple. Cameron needs a diaper change. He is a teeny bit red, so I put on a dab of coconut oil with a drop of Lavender essential oil. We read books together. Cameron usually gets off the sofa and plays most of the time.

12:00 PM – Before I know it, it’s lunch time. Typical lunches include sandwiches, chips and hummus, apple slices etc. My favorite lunch is a cucumber, tomato and onion salad with some kind of protein.

12:45 – Cameron goes down for nap time. Because he has the sniffles, I put Thieves essential oil in the H2EO diffuser in the boys’ bedroom.

1:00 – Ridley and I read a chapter book together. Right now we are reading Farmer Boy. 🙂 It is so fun because I have such fond memories of my mom reading to my siblings and me.

1:30 – I have an essential oils class tonight, so I spend time prepping Thieves Household cleaner for door prizes and going over my notes. Ridley gets to watch 2 Leapfrog educational shows on Netflix and then he plays with Legos.

2:30 – I start to get that afternoon blah feeling, so I open a tube of my favorite energy boost – NingXia Nitro. Boom! I switch out the laundry and put some dishes away. More momma puttering…

3:00 –  I put Christmas Spirit in the diffuser. I know it’s not Christmas any more, but I love the Christmas Spirit blend. Ah! Then I spend time getting ready for my class.

3:30 – Cameron wakes up and I get supper going. I play with Cameron in the den while Ridley goes to the barn with his PaPaw. His favorite thing is gathering the eggs. 🙂

5:30 – I leave for my essential oils class. I rubbed Valor over my heart to calm any nervous butterflies. I know it sounds silly, but I’m not kidding, the stuff works.

7:30 – While I’m gone, my husband does bedtime with the boys. I left their pajamas on the bed with Thieves to put on their feet and their diffuser was ready to just turn on. I put RC in the H2EO diffuser. My husband  slipped out to his basketball game and my Dad sat here until I got home. It’s SO nice to live right next door to my parents.

10:30 – Finally bedtime! Ahhh! My nightly routine consists of Joy over my heart, Peace & Calming on my shoulders {because I hold stress there!} for relaxation, EndoFlex over my thyroid and Thieves on my feet. Hubby puts Thieves on his feet too.

That’s how a typical day goes around here. I don’t teach essential oils classes very often, so this is a general look at how our days go. When I’m not prepping for a class, I play with my boys, work, blog, DIY or decorate. 🙂

There are a few What If…situations that I want to also mention…

• If there had been a burn – I would have used Lavender essential oil
• If there had been a bug bite or scrape I would have used Purification essential oil

• And IF I had time to do detox baths, we would have done that too. Detox baths are amazing!
