***Before I start, I want you all to know that I do sell doTERRA essential oils and use them on a daily basis. While I would love to be the one you purchase essential oils from, if you feel they will not work for you (I used to feel that way) or already have a consultant/use another brand, please know that this post is NOT an ad. It's more about how oils and others who use oils have helped me on my journey, along with ideas on how to use oils to help when experiencing anxiety.***
Happy New Year, friends! I hope your year is off to a wonderful start! I always feel the need to have a break after my holiday break because I am SO busy. I am an introvert by nature, so I need my alone time to relax and regroup. One way I do that is by using essential oils!
Before I went to therapy and decided to take medication, I used oils all the time to help me manage my anxiety. It wasn't a perfect fix, but they did help. Some of my favorites are lavender, doTERRA Balance Grounding Blend, and ylang ylang. I still use them on a daily basis!
I decided that I wanted to share some of these oils with friends this year. My sister came to visit for Christmas, and we ended up at the Dollar Tree looking for things we could make for the women at church we minister to. We found these darling glass jars and epsom salts, and we knew just what to do!
We added some stickers to the front of the jars and put a thin layer of Mod Podge over them to help them stay in place and to make them semi-water proof. We then hot glued a paper flower for decoration. We mixed essential oils into the epsom salts we purchased, then carefully spooned them into each jar. Below is the recipe we used for the salts!

Where did you find the stickers?
Shelly, I used stickers I had in my stash from years ago. BUT, you can find stickers like these at most craft stores like JoAnns, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby. You might even check Dollar Tree! They can surprise you! :)
