As Easter approaches, it's a time of reflection and renewal for you. It is a time when we gather as families and we pray for our families. It can also be a time where we experience a range of emotions including lonliness.
It is during emotional times that we can set aside a time to celebrate the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus, and to remember the hope and joy that his victory over death brings to our lives.
For those of us who use essential oils, this can be a particularly meaningful time to explore the connection between our physical and spiritual well-being. Just as Jesus offered healing and restoration to those he encountered during his ministry, essential oils can offer powerful benefits for our physical and emotional health.
One essential oil that holds particular significance during Easter is Frankincense. I know we think of this at Christmas. This precious oil was one of the gifts brought to Jesus at his birth, and has been used for centuries for its spiritual and medicinal properties. Frankincense can help to ease feelings of anxiety and promote a sense of calm and grounding, making it a powerful tool for faith-based women who are seeking to deepen their connection to God.
As we pray for our families during this time, we can also incorporate essential oils into our daily routines to promote a sense of peace and well-being. Diffusing oils like lavender, bergamot, and ylang-ylang can help to create a calming atmosphere, while citrus oils like lemon and grapefruit can help to boost mood and energy.
Ultimately, the significance of Easter goes beyond any specific ritual or practice. It's a time to remember the power of love, forgiveness, and redemption, and to celebrate the hope and joy that comes with new beginnings. As we seek to honor this message in our daily lives, we can use essential oils as a tool to support our physical and emotional health, deepen our connection to God, and find peace and renewal in the midst of life's challenges.
If you want to know more about essential oils to support you in better emotional and physical health I invite you to join our Oil of Joy Facebook group where we will explore various Young Living essential oils and support you in your healing journey as a faith-based woman over 50.

Welcome! We are going to talk about your hair, skin, and nails - and how to support them! Excited to share tips for glowing healthy skin.
Read to the end to get free access to my entire class series on this topic including my 10 ways to improve your hair, skin and nails guide.
So often we look at our hair, skin, or nails and think it only needs support from the surface, but that is definitely not the case! Now don’t get me wrong, taking care of those things topically matters. But what I want to challenge you with today is to focus on what’s happening on the inside and how it affects what you see happening on the outside.
Our body is a complex web of interworking systems. When your liver is abused, you might start to notice it in the color of your skin. When your gut isn’t working properly, you might start to notice things like psoriasis or eczema. When your hormones are imbalanced, you might start to see an increase in acne or hair loss. See how it all connects?
Well, don’t let that overwhelm you. Today we will discuss the basics of the integumentary system so you can see the whole picture. Then we will talk about some of the WORST things you can do and some of the BEST things you can do for your hair, skin, and nails. We want you to leave feeling more empowered than ever! Ready to dive in? Let’s go!
So what exactly is the integumentary system? Well, to put it simply - it’s your hair, skin, and nails. To put it more scientifically, it’s the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails. You get the gist!
The integumentary system is the largest organ of the body! It forms a physical barrier between the outside environment and the inside environment of our bodies. Its main job is to protect all the vulnerable things within as well as maintain them. It’s your body’s first line of defense against pathogens so it plays an important role in immunity. This system also orchestrates wound healing, regulates body temperature, helps to synthesize Vitamin D, and detect stimuli.
Your skin is a tightly knit network of cells, making it very durable against everyday wear and tear. The epidermis is that top layer that you can see and feel. The dermis is the layer below that, which contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands, and hair follicles.
Then there is the hypodermis. It’s the connective tissue that provides additional cushion and insulation through fat storage. It also connects the top layers of skin to underlying structures like muscles and organs.
Hair comes from the epidermis but grows its roots deep into the dermis. It mainly serves to protect the skin, increase sensory function, and aid in regulating body temperature. Hair also filters harmful particles from entering the eyes, ears, nose, etc.
Nails form as layers of keratin on the tips of fingers and toes. Nails have an important job - to protect the fingers and toes, which are prone to repeated trauma. Nails also help increase the precision of movements and enhance sensation.
Now that you’ve got the basics down, let’s see what things can DISRUPT this intricate system. Eeek!!
