I am SO exciting to be taking a freaking vacation!!! As is the way I do things, my vacation is technically a work one - essential oils training classes, touring the farm and distillation processes AND taking headshots and group photos for my oily team members BUT it's still a vacation nonetheless!


Heading to Salt Lake City, Utah for all the excitement I can handle, along with a team of amazing people who are also obsessed with Young Living. It's going to be an awesome time. We are renting a house in the mountains, touring a bunch of scenic sites around Utah, driving through the Rockies, and getting to try tons of new products!

I'll be photographing and documenting the whole trip and will be sharing lots of it on here when I get back!

I have been too busy so far this "Spring" enjoying all the lovely Summer weather around here to blog or work on the inside of the house!

I have been focusing a lot of thought and energy towards the landscaping of our home and dreaming up the next steps for the next couple years here, in regards to the property. It's definitely a lot of work but I have fallen in love with gardening and the aesthetics of landscaping.  I've always had a deep love for nature and feel happiest when I am outdoors. It's been a very relaxing past month being able to spend a lot of time outside :)

I am trying my hand at gardening this year, and through a lot of trial and error, things are going pretty well! I am not the strongest person in this house (probably the weakest lol) so it's been a struggle to gain the stamina to keep working outside in the heat. I am using a lot of non-existent arm strength, but am determined to keep working away and to continually get stronger! I have a lot in pots and containers ready to put in the ground which I am hoping to do in the next day or two. I have some perennials, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers, romaine lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, and heirloom roses :) Possibly some herbs...if they decide to grow ;) Thanks to Gable Oaks for the tomatoes and peppers!

As always, Nate has been a BIG help outside and done a lot of the grunt work I struggle through. We are working on designing a gated garden to keep the dogs out of as well as some trelices for my roses. I'll keep ya posted on the progress!
