Over 40% of Homeowners are Undergoing Renovations – are you?!
2021 marks an important year in history. It’s really a do-over from 2020, hopefully, we’ll be able to lose the masks super soon, and things are finally looking up from a pretty gloom and doom year.

With this monumental milestone of 2020 behind us, over 40% of homeowners are undergoing their first-ever home renovation in 2021. Are you included in that stat? Should you be?!

With the housing market exploding here in Omaha, and really all over the US, some folks are considering a big move, while others are hunkering down and exploring home renovations.

The Resolutions Are IN!

HOW ARE YOU STAYING ON TRACK IN 2O21?
Many of us started out the New Year with a fresh perspective, some goals in mind, and a strong opinion that we don’t want to revisit 2020.
 
But, how are those goals coming along? Are you already feeling "off pace?"
 
Relaxing, finding your center, and tuning in to what really matters most will help you stay the course to achieving your goals ahead—no matter how big or small they may be.  
 
I recently started watching The Home Edit, per some strong recommendations from girlfriends, and the results are in—it’s a MUST-SEE! From organizing the pantry, to the closet, and everywhere in between, following their method of: edit, organize, contain, and maintain has been extraordinary. This new-to-us method is a breath of fresh air in our home, and allows us to feel completely relaxed, renewed, and relaxed in our home.
 
Have we done every room of our home? Nope … not yet. But, there is no denying--the method of editing and organizing our space has been wonderful.
 
Would I call it a game-changer?! Absolutely!!
 
Along with plenty of goals to simplify our routine, slow down and be in the moment, and reorganize our home, it’s also a goal of ours to live healthy + well. Easier said than done, I know.
 
A sweet college friend, Amy and I recently reconnected, and her blog, the Country Road 5280 is totally inspiring me today (and always!).
 
Her recent blog outlines the goals she has for her home, and how she plans to reduce, reuse, and simplify her home in 2021, all while achieving her ultimate goal of being sustainable. She rocks, and so does her blog!

 
I can’t wait to implement some of her sustainable hacks, and share a few of my own oily tips + tricks to achieve an uber-relaxed, efficient, and sustainable home of my own. 

News flash--you can do it, too! 
 
Catch a few of my tips and tricks to achieve this {mostly} stress-free lifestyle. Promise—you won’t want to miss these time-saving, money-saving hacks.


And, while you’re at it, you should probably browse my favorite products to help achieve this lifestyle, too.

 
Enjoy + happy browsing!

New Year, New You: Meditation


New Year, New You Series: Meditation + Oils
Happy New Year, my friend!
 
I’m so happy that you’ve found your way back to The Blissful Mom Blog. Welcome back!
 
We’re continuing on our health + wellness journey to provide you the BEST information around.
 
So, let’s go ahead and dive right in!
 
This week, we’re focusing on our five senses, meditation, and how you can incorporate essential oils to score the ultimate relaxation.
 
FYI, we all need this, and you’re just where you need to be. Glad you’re here!
 
For this first week of content, I’m pumped that Amy Kaspar of Country Road 5280, certified yoga instructor, and super sweet friend will be walking us through the many health benefits of meditating and using essential oils.
 
 
Did you watch it?! What did you think?! If you took the time to watch it, I have a really good feeling that your stress levels have reduced, and you’re feeling much better about your day. Seriously, watch it now!
 
So, Amy also mentions that essential oils are a fantastic way to continue reaping the benefits of meditation all day long.
 
And I could not agree more! 
 
Unfortunately, not all essential oils are created equally. There’s plenty of junk and tons of gimmicks out there. Don’t fall into that trap, my friends!
 
 
By using 100% pure, real essential oils from a reputable source while practicing stress-relieving activities and incorporating meditation into your day can provide ultimate healing, restoration, and stress relief. 
 
Yes, please—sign me up for ALL of that! 
 
Like meditation, the world of essential oils can be intimidating. But, it really doesn’t need to be. Here are a few quick steps to get started: 

  1. Learn about essential oils from someone you know and trust. 
  2. Purchase oils from a trusted source. (If you’ve been here longer than a minute, I hope that’s me!)
  3. Get the oils at the best deal – here are some freebies offered this month that can save you BIG time!
So, what are you waiting for?! Get into a Zen state of mind, relax, and pop open those oils, my friend—you’re about to have a wonderful, relaxing (and productive!) day ahead!
 
Missed some of our earlier content? Not to fret! Catch the full lineup of the New Year, New You series seen first here on the Blissful Mom Blog.

 
Wishing you all the best until next time! (That's next week, by the way. See you then!)
 
Love, Joy + Oils Always,

Catch the full lineup of the New Year, New You series seen first here on the Blissful Mom Blog.

  
For this first week of content, I’m ecstatic to introduce my sweet friend and the ultimate Yogi herself, Amy Kaspar of Country Road 5280
 
Ever wonder if you’re really striking those yoga poses the right way? 
 
News flash: There is a right and a wrong way. No worries—I’m learning here, too. 
 
 
Another epiphany, perhaps, for some: Along with the proper poses in yoga, there’s some added benefits when you pair it with 100% pure essential oils, too. 
 
And no, I’m not referring to any of that “stuff” you can pick up at the store. I’m talking about the good stuff that you can only get from real people on a mission to live happier, healthier lives. 

  
By using 100% pure, real essential oils from a reputable source while practicing yoga can provide the ultimate healing, restorative, and stress-relieving setting as we welcome in the New Year. 
 
I don’t know about you, but we’re all in need of help in this area these days. 
 
So, let’s get your downward dog on, put on your favorite yoga pants, and blast some essential oils. 
 
It’s time to strike a pose, relieve some stress, and get a little workout in while you’re at it. 
 
Cheers to the New Year ahead! 
 
Looking forward to you jumping back on the blog next week for the next edition of the New Year, New You Series. See you then! 
 
Love, Joy + Oils Always,
