The good oil

The Good Oil on Living Naturally (and Loving It!)

As a naturally-focused therapist (Dip. Shiatsu & Oriental Therapies), I’m forever on the hunt for products that are pure, effective, and without all the rubbish. Sadly, our food laws — supposedly there to protect us — don’t always hit the mark. Why? Because, my friend, money talks.

That means it’s up to us to get smart about where our products come from and what’s in them. It’s not always easy — finding good, honest products can feel like an endless treasure hunt. But for me, it’s a passion. And when I find something that ticks all the boxes, I want to shout it from the rooftops.

So here it is — I’ve found a company with ethics that sparkle like bubbles in a fine glass of French champagne. And let me tell you… now that we’ve got “the good oil,” the possibilities are endless.

These oils aren’t just for a special spa day. They’re for every day — to support your immune system, boost your health, and bring goodness into your home for you and your family.

As Jim Rohn once said,

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

If you’re curious explore them yourself.

Create New Healthy Habits

You’ve heard it before (because it’s true): the less processed food you eat, the more nutritional goodness you get. But here’s the trick — when you start a new habit, you must replace the old one for it to stick.

Here are some Raw Habits to get you started:

Ditch the packets. Choose fresh produce from your local butcher or farmers’ markets. Support local and eat better.
Fresh juice is alive — but only for about 20 minutes! After that, it’s dead food. Invest in a quality juicer that keeps the goodness intact. Canned or bottled juice? Mostly sugar. Skip it.
Mind your mind. If your thoughts turn negative, try reframing them with compassion and love. Not always easy, but worth it.
Eat slowly. Never eat when you’re upset, angry, or anxious — your body digests emotions along with food.
Grow your own. Herbs, veggies — it’s cheaper, healthier, and oh-so-satisfying.
Upgrade your tea time. Loose leaf tea in a pot is a beautiful ritual. Most tea bags have fillers and bleached paper — no thanks!
Move more. Pick something you love — yoga, martial arts, dancing. Enjoyment is the secret ingredient.
Laugh loudly. If you’re not passionate about your life, it’s time to shake things up.
Grind your own coffee beans. Fresh is best. Ditch the freeze-dried stuff.
No margarine, ever. Nature tells the truth — if bugs won’t eat it, neither should you. Try avocado, tahini, or good old butter.
Choose real chocolate. Go for 80% cocoa. Rich, less sugar, and a little goes a long way.
Practice gratitude daily. The little things add up to a big, beautiful life.

As Aristotle put it,

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Invest in Yourself

We pour time and money into houses, gadgets, and Netflix subscriptions. But how often do we invest in ourselves? Your health, mindset, and lifestyle are your greatest assets. Treat them like gold.

There’s Always Another Choice

Why hand all your hard-earned cash to big supermarkets and pharmacies? Sure, they give you loyalty points, but let’s be honest — points don’t change your health.

Now, imagine this: you have your own online shop, stocked with pure, healthy, planet-friendly products you can use every day. Products you trust. Products that give back.

That’s exactly what you can do with doTERRA — essential oils, vitamins, and beauty products that are 100% certified pure therapeutic grade. You can:
