Hospital Bag Necessities


It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to sit down and write with everything going on. And this time is no different with all the nesting this mama is doing to prepare for baby girl 🥰so I’ll keep this post sweet & short. 

Since having started on this oily journey, I’ve made it my mission to stay away from any & all conventional medicine unless absolutely necessary. I’ve even gone this entire pregnancy without taking any conventional meds 🙌🏼I’ve only been taking my dōTERRA LLV supplements on a daily basis and using DigestZen for heartburn and morning sickness. 

So it’s only natural that I would love my labor and delivery to be as natural as possible too! 

I plan on diffusing Balance, Peppermint & Wild Orange during labor to help calm my emotions while giving me energy. I’ll also be applying my Mood roller (a blend of Balance, Wild Orange and Frankincense) to the bottoms of my feet and my pulse points to also help with my anxiety. 

I’ll be having Javier rub some Deep Blue mixed w| Fractionated Coconut Oil on my lower back to help with the lower back pain associated with all those contractions in hopes of avoiding an epidural 🤞🏼

I’m bringing OnGuard Touch because hospitals = germs and I don’t need to be getting sick lol the OnGuard sanitizing spray is for anyone who wants to visit baby girl and I so that I can ensure no germs get to baby girl. 

I’ll be bringing Frankincense, the God of all oils, to put on the crown of baby girls head and down her spine + Balance on the bottom of her feet to help recover from the trauma of birth. I will also be diffusing this after she’s born for both of us to heal. 

A few other dōTERRA necessities that I will be bringing but did not picture are my OnGuard toothpaste & OnGuard mouth wash, my Facial Cleanser and my Hydrating face cream. Along with the normal necessities for baby girl and I lol

I hope this helped for any of you mamas / soon to be mamas who would love to have a natural birth while incorporating essential oils! If any of you have any questions, drop them below or feel free to reach out to me and I’ll be more than happy to help ☺️

Until next time,
XO Mama Unfiltered 🖤

How I'm Manifesting my 2021 Goals

 Every year since I was younger, I've always made a list of goals I planned on achieving for that New Year. And I mean, I'm pretty sure most of us associate a New Year with goal setting. Am I right? Some goals are way out there and seem unattainable, while others are simple and easy. But as I get older, I'm learning some tricks and tips that help me attain my goals and stay motivated. I know some you put there reading this will think it's all just a bunch of bologna, and some of you will take this to heart. Just know this, these are the things that work for ME, so they may not work for you, and that's okay. Find what works for you and stick to it! 💪🏼 1. Be clear with what you want.  Instead of saying "I wish" or "I want", say "I will" when it comes to what you want to achieve or gain. For example, if you want to lose 10 lbs, say "I WILL lose 10 lbs." This is your way of putting out into the Universe that you WILL lose that w

How I Weaned Isabella Off Pacifiers & Bottles

Once your baby turns 1, it’s almost as if they’ve crossed that magical threshold, the one where they’re no longer a baby, but also not quite a toddler. You know the one, the one where they all of a sudden want to run and walk and climb, they want to feed themselves and do everything they see everyone else doing. Yeah, that one.  Well it turns out Bella crossed that threshold way before she even turned one. And I guess that’s to be expected, seeing as she has 3 older brothers to look up to. So it should come as no surprise when I say, I weaned Bella off of pacifiers and bottles before she turned 13 months!! 🎉  Now who wants in on my secret?! Lol So first things first, I should probably disclose that Bella started weaning herself off of pacifiers around 10 months. And what I mean by that is, we stopped taking her pacifiers with us on outings and left her pacifier in her crib throughout the day. The only times she’d use her pacifier was at nap time and bedtime. That’s

To My Daughter

Image
We made it! The BIG ONE! 1 whole year of life completed, and it literally flew by 😭 you are my only daughter and last baby, so it’s understandable why your 1st birthday is bittersweet. The day you were born, I was over the moon! I mean, I finally had my baby girl in my arms!! 😍 the day I had been waiting forever for had finally come! I’m not gonna lie though, when they placed you on my chest, I had to double check that you were 100% a baby girl 😂 There’s something so special about having a daughter though, a different kind of bond that is formed. I have special bonds with your brothers, but having you has caused me to form a different type of bond. I don’t yet know how to explain it, but it’s one that I hope will continue to grow over the years. I absolutely cannot wait for those mother daughter bonding dates, inside jokes and all around good times. Looking into the future now, I see us having an unbreakable, loving, caring bond. As it is, you’re already a mamas girl, al
