living essentially

Hi everyone. I can’t believe that it has been so long since my last post! The days fly by so fast; we celebrated three Birthdays since January.

Being wife of a multiple-times Ironman (triathlon: 2.4 miles swim, 112 miles bike, 26.2 miles run) & ultra-marathoner, and mom of two young triathletes and competitive cyclists, it is a priority #1 for me to take care of health and wellness of our family, as we are constantly on the go. I’ve started a new blog called Living Essentially which focuses on a healthy lifestyle, making our home toxin free  with a help of essential oils.

For me, personally, living healthy doesn’t mean just having the right nutritious eating habits and enough exercise (which trust me, our family has more than enough!), but also trying to avoid as many chemicals and toxins in our daily life as possible.  I’ve shifted from the “recreational” diffusing of essential oils in an aromatherapy lamp just to “get-the-nice-smell at home” to learning about the benefits of using pure essential oils, natural plant based cleaners and many more products containing essential oils.

As a first step, I’ve got rid of store bought air refresheners and chemical house cleaners and started making my own foam soaps, air sprays, face creams and body butter using Young Living essential oils. Those mentioned homemade goodies not only smell and feel amazing on the skin but most importantly, are safe for our children and my family enjoys using them on everyday basis. I don’t have to stress about toxins anymore and can spend more quality time with my loved ones.

I am really excited to learn more in-depth the power and benefits of using essential oils and supporting the healthy habits of my family.

Using essential oils is slowly but surely changing our lives for better. I hope you will join me on this journey. We can learn together.
