Pink & White Shell with Lava Stones
Your jewelry never looked and smelled so good!
Does this sound familiar: Monday morning, you’re rushing out the door to get to a work appointment, and just plain forgot to grab your go-to-favorite essential oil blend. You know, the one that calms you when hiccups hiccup during the day? Argh! But no time. Must-get-out-the-door. And there sits your blend at home, on your night stand. Not being very helpful (even though it really wants to be).
I’m a trained aromatherapist and this used to happen to me regularly. Until I started making and using my aromatherapy diffuser jewelry.
If you’re anything like me, you have been wanting for a while to ‘figure out’ how to use essential oils. I also know there is a lot of ‘noise’ out there – giving you advice on all kinds of ways to do this. This can be overwhelming. I get it. I’ve been there.
And I know it can be challenging to simply remember to use your oil blends regularly (which means frequently and regularly throughout the day).
My Aromatherapy Diffuser Jewelry is the answer to the question: ‘How can I use essential oils?’. The LJ Turtle answer: Add 1 drop to 1 lava bead and go.
And the answer to ‘How do I remember to use my essential oils throughout the day?’ is also incredibly easy – because you’re wearing it! How awesome is that?
Take this piece for example. Isn’t it a beaut’! This aromatherapy diffuser bracelet is made with pink and white shell and lava stones using stainless steel memory wire.
The lava stones ‘hold’ your aromatherapy and gently diffuse as you make your way through your day.
The stainless steel memory wire is not only strong and beautiful, it also ensures your piece will last (unlike some of those elasticky-types).
Welcome to my world, where everyday, all day, you can live an aromatherapy lifestyle.

For the Love of Lavender! Aromatherapy Workshop
Lavender is a distinctive and recognizable plant and its scent profile as an essential oil is also widely appreciated and recognized. But did you know that lavender grows in different countries? As a plant, lavender relies on nature for its growth & survival. Lavender grown, harvested and distilled in France will have a very different scent-profile than one from Ontario, for example. .
Here’s how to register:
Go to the Continuing Education with the Upper Grand District School Board and register.

In this 2-hour workshop we will ‘sniff test’ four different lavender essential oils (countries of origin include France, South Africa, and Ontario) and discuss the safety use profile of lavender essential oil in general. You will also be introduced to a gentle yet powerful aromatherapy tool – the hydrosol. You will receive hands-on blending training and create a customized blend safe for topical use.
Here’s what is in your workshop kit:

My Story: I started using essential oils in my 20s. Then life distracted me and I veered away from their regular use, though I always had one essential oil or another on-hand. More recent tumultuous life events reminded me of how essential oils had helped me and began using them therapeutically again. I wondered then whether I could increase my knowledge of health effects of essential oils and professionally disseminate the power of these oils to others. Hence the birth of my vocation!
I started studying with the Joy Essence School of Aromatherapy Inc.in January of 2014. It took just over two years to complete my certification with the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists, and I became a Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional in 2016; and 2018 marked my debut as a teacher of Aroma•Education Workshops. The costs of opening a storefront were, and still are prohibitive. A dear friend suggested I try the Farmers’ Market. And here we are, four years later. Here’s to many more great aromatherapy-filled years!
