I would think most ladies carry something sacred with them on excursions to the outside world. A favorite lip gloss, hairband, signature water bottle, creamy hand lotion, or a 3,000 page phone book… you know, something important. My second appendage happens to come in a bitsy bottle that makes an appearance more often than not. SO what’s my “must have”? Essential Oils, but of course!! And to be more specific, Young Living Essential Oils. If you’ve spent more than a day with me, you know I’ve experienced chronic migraines for years and years. You’d also know I’m all for natural remedies, as I posted a while back.

My most coveted oil is [unfortunately for Marcus] Peppermint. If I feel a headache coming on, it’s OVER. I’ll hunch over or casually disappear to the corner so I can sniff, sniff, sniff it in! It gets rubbed into my temples, the back of my neck, the tip of my tongue, and even on my belly for cramps. It’s not always a cure, but definitely something to ease the pain. I’ve used it to refocus if I get carsick (yes… I’m 24 and STILL get carsick… don’t hate). All in all, I’m a walking peppermint bomb, and you can typically tell how I feel that day by how I SMELL!

So lady loves – what’s your must-have purse item? It doesn’t need to be as weird as mine – although I’d probably feel like less of a loser!

XOXO!
