Many of you may not know where I’ve been or what I’ve been up to the past 2 weeks. I found out a few months ago that my sister was getting married, so I worked hard to “move heaven and earth” to get to her wedding. So I got an incredible deal on Priceline that could have only been possible by God Himself and started planning and packing!
I headed into the setting sun and was faced with some absolutely gorgeous cloud formations!
I landed in South Dakota and into the wind and rain. The larger part of the storm was south of us, but the wind created some turbulence and made the landing a bit rough, but it was good! That captain earned his pay that day!
So for 2 weeks I was able to love on my family. My sister’s dress needed finishing and with my Mom’s arthritis it was difficult for her, so I stepped in and helped out with the finishing “hooks and eyes” on the back.
Her dress was so flowy and angelic! I loved it!
My dear sweet Great Aunt drove up for the wedding from 5 hours away. Her shoulder was hurting the next day, so I showed her how to add a drop of Peppermint Essential Oil to her lotion and rubbed it in to her shoulder. She said it helped a lot, so hopefully next time she’ll be able to use that. 😊 
My sister, niece, great niece and I went to get our nails done the day before the wedding and my niece mentioned she was a bit sweaty and felt like she didn’t smell the greatest. So I pulled out Frankincense and Stress Away for her to smell. She chose Stress Away and I told her to rub it between her hands and put it where she needed it. Then she asked for more! 😊
My brother, sister, and I were sitting visiting, and all 3 of us were coughing. I rolled “Breathe Again” roll-on to my throat, then passed it around to my brother and sister to share with them. My sister loves Eucalyptus, so it really resonated with her. I suggested she take the Eucalyptus she has and put a couple drops in her diffuser at night while she sleeps. She didn’t realize she could do that!
I travel with my oils and it is so very easy to do! They pass right through TSA because the large 15ml bottles are less than the 2 ounce limit. They went through the scanning process and I had them securely packed in my small carry on suit case. It made for very easy packing and unpacking. On the way back I put all my electronics—battery operated things, head sets, cell phone & etc, in my knitting bag and attached it to my rolling carry on for easier access. I put it on the conveyer belt, unzipped it, took out my laptop and put it in it’s own bin, everything from the knitting bag in another, and my carry on by itself. It worked! Easy peasy!
I learned so much while traveling this time! I found that reading and rereading things on the airline’s website is the best route to take. Make sure you follow their guidelines to make going through security easier.
If you have a disability like I do, make sure they know about it so they can help you and adjust for you when you arrive. Although I didn’t need much, the flight attendant came to me to ask if I heard and understood the instructions at the beginning of the flight. I appreciated that so much!
Have you traveled by airplane lately? How was your experience? Did you take your oils and how did you pack them?
I’d love to hear from you!
Love & God Bless,
Regina
