How we wash our fruit & vegetables at home

This simple habit has become part of our family routine, and yes... I do it with ALL fruit and vegetables, whether they’re organic or not.

Simply fill the sink with water and add:

- 1 tbsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3 drops doTERRA Lemon essential oil

Leave the berries to soak for a few minutes, the other produce leave for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Why do we do this?

- Fruit and vegetables can carry surface dirt, waxes, residues and traces of pesticides from growing, handling and transport.

- Bicarbonate of soda is known to help lift dirt and residues from the surface of produce.

- Lemon essential oil contains natural cleansing compounds and leaves everything smelling incredibly fresh.

It’s a simple extra step that helps me feel confident I’m serving cleaner produce to my family.

Even organic produce can pick up dirt, bacteria and residues during harvesting, packing and transportation, which is why we wash everything that comes into our home.

Small daily habits can make a big difference.

Why I’ll never go back to conventional cleaning products…

Costs less — concentrated, simple ingredients stretch further than you think

Safer for little ones — no nasty fumes or residues on surfaces kids touch

Kids actually help — when it smells like lemon + lavender, they WANT to be involved

Better for the planet — fewer plastic bottles, no chemicals in our waterways

Wildlife friendly — what goes down your drain matters more than you think

Low tox living isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making small swaps that add up to a big difference. for your family and the world they’ll grow up in.

Making up a roller bottle is one of the easiest ways to use your oils safely, especially on little ones.

Diluting your oils isn’t optional, it’s just good practice. The carrier oil acts like a little blanket, helping the essential oil absorb into the skin slowly and effectively. Less waste, more benefit, no irritation.

Here’s a simple dilution guide for the family:

Adults — 2% dilution (approx. 12 drops per 10ml roller)
Kids 3–12 — 1% dilution (approx. 6 drops per 10ml roller)
Babies 3m–3yrs — 0.5% dilution (approx. 3 drops per 10ml roller)

Save this for next time you’re making up a blend.

Drop a 🩷 below if you didn’t know you were supposed to dilute, no judgment, most of us didn’t at first!

Most shop- bought play kits are packed with synthetic fragrances, harsh dyes, and ingredients you can’t even pronounce, and little hands touch everything!

So I try and do things differently at home.

I’ve researched and tried some great low-tox ingredients do sensory play and of course I add doTERRA essential oils to them depending on the child’s mood and how I want to support them.

I teach my children that one of the best ways to change their emotions is to get their hands and body moving, as well as using essential oils, so sensory play is perfect as it combines the two.

Lavender is a favourite for calming big feelings after school.

Wild Orange is delicious and great for calming anxious feelings or helping a child feel more energised.

Peppermint and Rosemary are great to help a child with their focus and memory as they play.

Several of you have been asking me for tips on how to improve your hair growth as you’re losing it during the peri-menopause or because you are experiencing side effects from medications.

Here is a simple but incredibly effective hair treatment.

- castor oil (the base) - it thickens strands, deeply moisturises the scalp, and boosts circulation to your follicles.
- Rosemary oil - the growth oil. Studies actually compare it to minoxidil. It reduces inflammation and wakes up dormant follicles.
- Lavender oil - anti microbial, soothes itchiness, and has been shown to increase follicle count.
- Cedarwood oil - balances oil production, fights fungal buildup, and has been studied for alopecia.

Mix castor oil as your base + 2 drops of rosemary, lavender and Cedarwood. Massage into your scalp, leave overnight, wash out in the morning.

Do this x 2 a week and the difference in thickness and scalp health has been noticeable.

Save this if you or someone you know is on a hair growth journey.
