Glow in a Breath: My On-the-Go Aromatherapy Secret

  

This week’s glow-up moment is brought to you by something small — but mighty. I made this custom essential oil inhaler using some of my favorite oils: ylang ylang, sweet orange, peppermint, and frankincense — and honestly? It’s giving calm, centered, and ready to slay the week vibes.

🌼 Ylang ylang helps balance hormones and soothe emotional tension. It's also a well-known aphrodisiac since ancient times. It promotes optimism and relaxation. It relieves and rejuvenates while fighting daily oxidative stress. 

🍊 Sweet orange uplifts the mood and brings back a sunny mindset.

🌿 Peppermint clears mental fog (perfect when your to-do list is wild). It relieves headaches, boosts energy. It helps with anxiety, too. 

🕊️ Frankincense centers the soul. Always. It also boosts the immune system, improves skin condition, and ease respiratory issues. 

My blend:

5 drops Ylang Ylang (hormone balance, emotional support)

4 drops Peppermint (mental clarity, fresh burst)

3 drops Sweet Orange (mood boost, gentle energy)

1 drop Frankincense (grounding, peaceful vibes)

I added the drops in the wick, popped it in the inhaler, and took 3 deep breaths. This little powerhouse now lives on my desk. I put it where I can easily see it and get it. Whether you're ovulating, navigating perimenopause like me, or just trying to stay present on a busy day, this blend is a game-changer.

Best part? No one knows you’re inhaling confidence and peace during that Monday meeting. 😉

🔍 Important Safety Tips from a Certified Aromatherapist (Lady E!):

Do a patch test first, always. Essential oils are powerful. Never apply directly on the skin without diluting in a carrier oil (like coconut, almond oil, sesame oil,  or jojoba).

Not all oils are safe for kids or pets! Avoid oils like eucalyptus, frankincense,  peppermint, and rosemary around small children.

Essential oils can burn you. Yes, really! Just because they’re natural doesn’t mean they’re harmless.

A little goes a long way. Just 2–3 drops in your inhaler stick is enough. Inhale gently 2–3 times per day. Overexposure can lead to nausea, dizziness, or even headaches.

Storage matters. Keep your oils in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat to preserve their potency.
