InLight & Wellness

A little family getaway to the mountains! We had the perfect mix of activities and relaxation... spending a day at Catawba Falls, climbing 533 steps to see a hidden waterfall, and then finding a water hole just for us! The views and sound of rushing water offered a much needed reset. Although the devastation after Hurricane Helene was very palpable, it's still a beautiful area to visit and enjoy.

The next day, we floated down the river for almost three hours, and it was glorious! No phones, therefore, no pictures or videos, and I'm ready to do it again 🤩

Many games of UNO- Panamanian version, delicious Thai food, ice cream, s'mores, books, fireworks, silly jokes, sunshine, shinding at the park, lots of nature and my constant awe of it all, made for a memorable 4th of July weekend in the mountains!

Skin essentials for tweens and teens! 💜

The hormonal changes in puberty, along with the accumulation of toxins, and unwanted pathogens can be the causes for blemishes and breakouts during this stage. Good thing we have natural and effective tools to counteract these! 🙌

Our skin tells the story of what's going on inside, so it's important to guide our tweens and teens to pay attention to what they consume and see how their skin responds. Depending on the issues, doing a cleanse or using oils and supplements that can open up detoxication passages can be very helpful.

Healthy, glowing skin and complexion starts from the inside out! 💫 Nourishment, hydration and skin care products that do not burden the body will do wonders to the tweens and teens in your life.... and this is good for us adults too!

Do you have tweens or teens at home? 🙋‍♀️

Mouth sores are the worst! 😖
Harper hit his mouth playing, resulting in a painful sore inside his lower lip (I'll spare you from the picture!).

First I reached for Tea Tree to rub a little bit on the area, and then grabbed one of my favorite books/app () to look for suggestions.

For open sores it's recommended to mix  2-4 drops each of Frankincense + Lavender in 1 tbsp of fractionated coconut oil (or carrier of choice) and do oil pulling with mixture. I chose to make a 5 mL roller to make it easier for Harper to use. He'll be applying 2-3 times during the day as necessary.

Hope not, but save this in case you needed it. 📝

I don't like when things like this happen of course, but I do love to have everything I need to take care of them. Effective tools with no side effects right at my fingertips. Major peace of mind for this mama! 🙏

Do you have everything you need at home too when injuries happen?

Kisses, hugs, snuggles and silly faces as an eight year old. What a year it's been for my boy! 😍

{ will resume after the festivities 🥳😁}

As Cole said, we have entered the next level of parenthood! 😁

The kids have been wanting a dog for a long time, but for various reasons we are not ready for one. Last November I brought up the idea of a bunny as a pet, and the kids really liked it.

Since we didn't know anything about bunnies, I asked them to research and gather all the info, and so they did! Mia even created a bunny guide for us. 🤩

After much anticipation, here she is! We adopted Winnie from a sweet family, and we are excited to welcome her into our home. 🐰💗

Winnie is a year old mini Rex, super soft, very gentle, curious and a pooping machine! 😜 Thank goodness it doesn't smell and that she's so cute!

If you have any tips, send them my way!

The little things. ❤

This is my friend Felton.
I met her 3 years ago when she attended an essential oils class I was teaching, and I've been supporting her on her oils journey ever since. Along the way she has shared many of her life stories ... I'm always fascinated by her experiences, her adventurous spirit and her strength, even in the midst of health challenges.

Today was her 88th birthday and since she doesn't have family around, I wanted to do something special for her. Harper and I got a colorful cupcake, a chocolate candle, a pink balloon and sang Happy Birthday to her. Swipe left and you can see the joy on her face! 🥲 A moment I will not forget.

In times when darkness seems to be taking over, choose light. Don't underestimate the power of the small things. The little gestures you give will fill your heart tenfold and will nourish your soul even more! 💫

Sending my love to the Mamas reading this! 💗

Wishing you a Happy Easter, filled with renewed hope and deep love! 💗

A quick search on the word detox will show hundreds of diets and ways to do it. Fortunately, our bodies have all the mechanisms in place to eliminate toxins.

If this is the case then, is detoxing that important? It sure is! We can definitely support and enhance our body's innate detoxificacion systems, whether we are in good health (to keep it that way) or dealing with symptoms and conditions. Our bodies always work better when we are their partner in health!

A side benefit is that our emotions and mental health are positively impacted when we do a cleanse and rid the body of impurities and toxic burden.

Contrary to the popular ways to detox, I like to focus on nutrient dense foods plus detoxifying techniques like skin brushing, to assist my body and nourish it, rather than deplete it even further.

Is detoxing your body part of your healthy habits? No? 😯 I'll be hosting a virtual workshop this coming Wednesday, March 31st and it's all about the whats, hows and whys of detoxing the body in a sustainable way. If your answer was yes, join too! You may learn something new. 😉 Go to the link in my bio to register!
