Essential Oils to Start Your Day
The basis of my design process is to create spaces that make my clients feel a certain way. Sometimes that’s creating spaces that make them feel welcomed or cozy. It might be a space for them to feel invigorated or creative in. And while there are so many aspects of the design process that work to build that feeling, one of the easiest ways to start creating your own desired feelings is through essential oils. The focus of today’s post is on your morning routine, specifically ways to utilize essential oils in your washroom to feel more lively, with greater mental clarity, and also to achieve a sense of grounding.
Start with your shower
We’ve all seen the beautiful posts where people hang eucalyptus in their shower so that they get the benefits of the essential oils from the leaves.
An easier way to do this is to just use a couple drops of Eucalyptus essential oils directly in your shower. I find it to be more effective in actually benefiting from the essential oils and a much less expensive and time consuming way to get those benefits.
If you’re looking for a bit more than just Eucalyptus, my go to is the Easy Air blend from doTERRA (if you’re in the US, check out the Breathe blend). I love to do a couple drops of Easy Air and then an extra two of Eucalyptus (it is part of the Easy Air blend but I like a bit more) to start my day feeling invigorated.
This also creates a lovely spa like atmosphere in your washroom, helping you to feel a bit more relaxed and even possibly a bit luxurious when you begin your morning each day.
Diffuse while getting ready
Filling your washroom space with essential oils through diffusing is another great way to boost your mood and energy in the mornings. If you’re wanting to create some mental clarity, you can blend the eucalyptus with some rosemary. If you want to feel more lively and awake, try Lime and Easy Air together. Or for a bit of both, Lime and Rosemary also go well together as a blend. One of my favourite Diffusers is the Roam diffuser because you can charge it and then move it into whatever room you like. It’s also made from a beautiful
Breathwork
By far, one of my favourite ways to begin my day is by adding a couple drops of Frankincense to my hands, rubbing them together to warm the oil, and then cupping my hands over my nose and taking deep breaths in and out. This can help to feel grounded and unified. You can also diffuse Frankincense as well to create that overall feeling in your space too.
Get started with your washroom morning routine
If nothing else, I’d highly recommend getting your hands on Easy Air (or Breathe if you’re in the US) to create that spa like atmosphere of relaxation and invigoration in your shower in each morning.
If you’re wanting to really embrace your morning routine in your washroom space, here is the Curated Morning Collection that includes the Roam Diffuser.
