How Will You Transition to Fall?

 Fall has arrived in Virginia! Although the days are generally still warm, they have a crisp cool edge to them. The nights are nippy and where trees had a red or yellow undertone these past few weeks, the colors are now coming to the forefront. We are nestled at the end of the Shenandoah Valley, and I look out to the Jefferson National Forest knowing that very soon the mountains will be ablaze in color. A new season has arrived. 

Unlike spring where there is rebirth, and all begins anew, fall announces the end of summer. It is a time when all becomes dormant and still, anticipating the cold of winter. 

What do we do? After the early fall festivals and football games are past, we slow down, and embrace the change as fall leads us to winter. I am not a winter gal, in fact a 6th generation Floridian, so fall is great, but I dread the winter ahead. I ask again, what do we do?

I transition into fall with essential oils that honor this change of seasons and gives me joyful anticipation of the holidays ahead. There are many amazing essential oils and oil blends to take us from summer to fall. Imagine the warming scents of cassia, cinnamon, and clove; the uplifting wild orange, and anchor these with a wood oil such as Frankincense, The King of Oils. These oils can remind us of cozy, safe homes filled with love of family and the scent of baked pies and cookies that fill the air. Memories of fall from years past. But did you know that essential oils can do so much more than tap into our emotions? There are oils and oil blends that are protective as we enter the allergy, cold, and flu season. 

While supplies last doTERRA is offering Hygge, a favorite of mine that is only available for a limited time.Hygge is a Danish word that doesn't have a direct English translation, but it is often described as a concept or feeling associated with coziness, comfort, and contentment. Hygge is a lifestyle that is deeply ingrained in Danish culture and represents a sense of well-being and happiness that comes from enjoying life's simple pleasures.   

Enjoy Hygge and remember there are other fabulous oil blends perfect for these fall days that also protect us from environmental and seasonal threats. Think of On Guard, Cheer, and Harvest Spice to name but a few. At doTERRA we have you covered no matter what the season🍁

 Bonus Tip: Frankincense is The "Oil of Truth," and I mentioned Frankincense is called The King of Oils. There is a reason Frankincense is king! Frankincense is primarily a monoterpene hydrocarbon (for you oil nerds out there like me!) which gives it the ability to multi-task and help us with so many things. High in the constituent a-pinene Frankincense promotes a healthy inflammatory response, supports healthy immune, nervous, and digestive functions and contributes to feelings of relaxation and calm. It provides skin purifying benefits and aids with vitality and energy. What more can I say, Frank is truly The King of Oils.

Hugs and Health!
