Living an Oily Life

Well guess what guys!!! I have rediscovered my love for essential oils!!! yes I know I am late to jump on this bandwagon. I started this journey around two years ago, the hubby put my oil box in a place where I couldn't find it lol (I just wasn't looking hard enough) but now I have found it and it was right at the best time possible.  A few weeks ago Sky came down with a horrible fever that just wouldn't break no matter what I gave him so I decided to use a little bit of peppermint oil on him and bam within the hour it broke.

Yes I know that it might have been a coincidence but I honestly believe it was the oil because It has worked on me and my family before and yes I know you should be weary about using peppermint on babies but I have You have no idea how happy I am to have my oils back in my life and to be able to use my diffuser again is just wonderful. 

My three favorite oils are Peppermint, Lavender, and Citrus Fresh (not all together) but I LOVE to put them in my diffuser! Not only does it deodorize my house of the stink that 3 boys can bring lol but It helps to soothe and energize me depending on what I decide to put in it.  My little man Sage loves to use Lavender before bed time I made a little spritzer bottle for him that he calls his sleepy spray and he sprays it all over his room especially on his pillow and it helps hims fall off to sleep with no problems, I have recently used this with my little guy Sky and what do you know, it helps him too.  Well thats all for now guys keep an eye out for more oily posts, probably some diy projects that I use my oils for :)

Let the Games Begin

So tomorrow will be my first official day of vloging I am SUPER excited but also really NERVOUS! I already am exposing my life to the world by putting my blog out there but now I will be videoing my life for everyone to see.  I don't mind I love my life and hopefully my struggles will help someone one day who is down thinking they are the only ones with these problems.  I know by watching peoples daily vlogs and by reading peoples blogs I have a new perspective on life and it has helped me so much mentally and emotionally! I have watched so many YouTube videos but I am still confused on when to bring out the camera and how long my vlog should be after I edit together all the footage.  I guess I will get the hang of things it's all a part of the learning process and things will eventually fall into place.  I am excited for this next chapter in my life and I am so glad that you all are along for the ride :)

Cameras, SD Cards, and Editing, Oh My!

So I have been getting out all of my tech gear trying to figure out what camera to use as my blogging camera until I can save enough money to buy myself the Canon G7x.  I have a Canon s95, rebel t3 and an ELPH 350.  I have been watching YouTube videos all day trying to pick one and I have been playing with them trying to master some of the settings and it seems like the S95 would be my pick but it doesn't have auto focus during recording mode but the ELPH 350 does.   I guess what I am thinking is to use my t3 to record things that I won't be walking around with and use my ELPH when I am doing actual out and about vloging and my s95 as my back up camera.  What do you guys think? I love all three cameras so it is so hard to decide.  I was also thinking of doing a review on one of the cameras one day if there was any interest in it so let me know in the comments if you would be interested in me doing any reviews and on what type of devices.  Until next time my blog family!

Taking the Plunge

So off and on for about a year now I have been posting YouTube videos in hopes of starting daily vlogs but I have been way to scared to let them stay up for long.  Starting next week I will be doing daily vlogs and hopefully matching blog posts to go with it.  Or maybe I will start small and post vlogs every other day, I'm not sure it depends on how busy I am, did I mention I'm starting back at my old job today.  I guess I really can't stay away from this awesome job, I can't wait to see the kids that I work with again I have missed them soooooo much!!! I'm hoping they missed me to.  This week if just full of firsts, and returning.  Ever since I graduated high school I have always wanted to be a nurse but never thought I was smart enough to get into nursing school but now that I have gotten through most of my schooling and only have a few short years left I feel like I am finally in a place mentally and physically to begin the application and testing process to get into nursing school.  I have put in my order online for my TEAS V study book, will study all summer and take my test in August and hopefully get passing scores.  So guys please stick with me on my journey to finding my place in this world and hopefully it will be a fun and bumpy ride.
