We are doing it as a family. Today was 'get a treat' So we picked up Dunkin Donuts.😁
Truth be told.. I did not have one. I had eggnog instead 🥛. Did you know, some people drink eggnog warm? I recently learned of this. I thought it would taste gross. (Yes I tried it 🙌). Surprisingly, it did taste okay. 😁☕

ON WITH OUR ANCIENT OILS
⏬
⬇️
Common Myrtle
Common Myrtle, also known as Corsican pepper, has been used for thousands of years as a symbol of love, honor, happiness, and generosity. Its benefits were well known as early as 600 B.C. In the Bible, it was used in purification ceremonies.
Directions For Use.
Diffuse: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with a carrier oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.
Cassia - One of my favorites!
Cassia Oil, Cinnamomum cassia-
A warming oil that dates back to biblical times, Cassia essential oil may promote healthy digestion and immune function while providing a strong, uplifting aroma.*
A close relation to Cinnamon. Cassia has been used for thousands of years for its many health benefits. It is also one of the essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament. Cassia is noted for its unmistakable fragrance and calming aromatic properties.
* Experimental research suggests that internal use of Cinnamaldehyde, a major constituent of Cassia, may support a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
* Cassia is a great oil to diffuse during cold months due to its warming properties and spicy scent.
Due to its caustic nature, Cassia oil should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin and can be very strong when inhaled directly. When diluted and applied topically, Cassia can help soothe the body. Cassia oil can be used in cooking either as a replacement for cinnamon in pies and breads or by itself in a myriad of entrees and desserts.
Directions For Use
● Add one drop of Cassia essential oil to citrus blends or diffuse with Clove and Ginger during fall and.
● Take one to two drops in veggie capsules for added immune support.*
● Combine one drop with a carrier oil and massage for a warming sensation.
● Combine one to two drops along with Lemon oil in a glass of water to support healthy digestion and metabolism.*
• Diffuse: Use three to four drops in a diffuser.
• Internal use: Dilute one drop in four fluid ounces of liquid.
• Topical use: Dilute 1 drop essential oil to 10 drops carrier oil.
This Doterra oil is Kosher certified.
Spikenard - I call it the extender oil.
Whatever an Essential Oil is used for Spikenard will extend the effectiveness of the it and the scent.
It's a flowering plant of the Valerian family, is native to high altitudes in the sub-alpine and alpine regions of the Himalayan mountains. Spikenard is another Ancient Oil found in the Bible. This essential oil is steam distilled from the roots of the plant and has been valued for centuries,. Historically, Spikenard oil was used to uplift mood and promote relaxation. Spikenard essential oil promotes clean, healthy skin. Today, Spikenard oil is commonly used in perfumes and massage oils for its woody, musty scent.
Doterra Gold Nugget
By sourcing Spikenard oil from Nepal, doTERRA is able to support much needed income streams for harvesters and partner distillers, particularly in the remote areas where it is harvested, as well as support needed rural community development projects through our Co-Impact Sourcing® initiatives.
Directions For Use
● Diffuse- or apply one to two drops of Spikenard oil to the back of neck or to temples.
● Create a personalized fragrance by combining Spikenard essential oil with Clove, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Myrrh, Wild Orange, Rose, and Vetiver. ( Spikenard will extend the scent of the oil. As long as you can smell it the oil is working)
