Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Oils 101 | Raven

Raven is a cleansing Young Living blend of Ravintsara, Lemon, Wintergreen, Peppermint and Eucalyptus Radiata essential oils.  It’s a favorite wintertime blend!  Raven creates a cooling sensation when applied topically to the chest and throat. It’s also wonderful to breathe in when diffused for an uplifting and motivating aroma.

Raven is a must have and must use. This is definitely a go-to oil to create such a comforting aroma. You can even put a few drops in a bowl of steaming water, place a towel over your head and inhale the soothing steam.

You can also combine Raven with a carrier oil for an invigorating massage. This routine creates a relaxing spa-like experience and can even help when your day demands that you be out and about earlier than usual.

Its robust scent will help you perk up as your day begins.

Ways to use Raven:

➕Apply topically to chest and neck – 1 drop Raven mixed with a carrier oil during winter months

➕Add 3-5 drops onto a washrag and place in hot shower (just outside of water) to enjoy a “steam” shower

➕Apply to chest and wrists before your workout

➕Diffuse with Thieves, nightly during winter time

➕Open bottle and simply breathe deeply, anytime it’s needed

➕Create a “fresh air” roll-on blend with Raven, Thieves, Frankincense and a carrier oil

➕Add to a cotton ball and place in car vents

➕Add to the tip of your nose as needed during winter time

➕Diffuse during your workout routine

➕Add to a diffuser bracelet or necklace and breathe in as needed throughout the day

➕Apply 1-2 drops of Raven on the balls of the feet and toes where the reflexes for the lungs and sinuses are located (click here for the VitaFlex points)

➕Make a chest rub by melting some coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler, and then letting it cool a bit before adding Raven, Lemon, Frankincense (and Copaiba and Marjoram when you have them!).  Transfer it to a glass container and store in the refrigerator to solidify.  You’ll then have a nice, thick emollient chest cream that is so soothing and comforting!  It’s the best!

If you are using this with little ones under 5, I recommend applying topically to the bottom of their feet, since the scent can be a little strong for their noses.
