🌸 Living My Best Life One Drop at a Time: My Essential Oil Self-Care Journey 💜🌿 How DoTERRA essential oils became the cornerstone of my daily wellness routine. 💜 The Moment Everything Changed   I'll never forget the day I realized something had to shift. I was exhausted,  drained, physically depleted, and emotionally running on empty.  My "self-care" consisted of scrolling social media in bed and calling it "me time." I knew I needed more, but I didn't know where to start

The 5 AM Club Can Kiss My Ass Let me tell you a story. For six months, I tried to become a "morning person." You know the type — up at 5 AM, journaling with overpriced coffee, doing yoga while the sun rises, crushing goals before most people hit snooze. I read the books. I watched the TikToks. I bought the aesthetic planners and the motivational water bottles that told me to "drink up, buttercup" every two hours. I set my alarm for 5 AM like my life depended on it. And you kn

The Dopamine Dependency I Didn't Know I Had   Five years ago, I curated the perfect playlist. It had "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang, a sprinkle of SZA, some nostalgic throwbacks, and exactly zero surprises. Every song was a dopamine delivery system I could depend on—a guaranteed mood-lift when anxiety crept in. So, I kept it. And kept it. And kept it.   By year three, I wasn't discovering new music; I was practicing a ritual. By year five, I realized I wasn't making conten

Music has a unique way of speaking to us. When I listen closely to music lyrics, I often find myself transported back to moments in my life, as if the words were written just for me. For many music lovers, this connection goes beyond just enjoying a tune—it becomes a way to understand our own life experiences through the stories and emotions embedded in songs. How Music Lyrics Reflect Our Life Experiences One of the most powerful aspects of music is its ability to capture com
