Call Me Crazy

Hello Everyone! It has been quite a while since I blogged, and that is because, I did not like the name of my blog... I know, I'm weird, but I didn't like it, so I wouldn't write. That wasn't working for me because, I was like, "Brittany, you should write in your blog.." like EVERY DAY. That got annoying after a while, so I have finally come up with a new name, and I think it is totally perfect! :) Hopefully this will motivate me to write more often. I know you all are just aching to hear all my thoughts and feelings, so I will try and be consistent. ;)

I really don't know what it is, I just feel like I need to tell everyone what is on my mind, ALL the time... I just have so many thoughts and feelings!!! I should probably just keep a diary, but where's the fun in that, right?! Anyways, I thought I'd start out my blog posting with a little confession... So, normally I don't give into all the "self-help" type programs, and I definitely don't like the pyramid-schemey things, but wouldn't you know, I have started on both of those things this year! AND it's only the end of February!! That's right, I started this program called Dressing Your Truth, and I started using doTerra oils. Last year I was really confused about who I was, what did I really want in life, and what was I really doing?? My friend introduced me to Dressing Your Truth, and when I say it changed my life, I really mean it. It gave me that sense of direction I was looking for, it helped me to embrace who I really am. I'm not saying it happened over night, because it didn't, and I still have days that I fight with what I used to think and this new way of thinking. This program has given me the confidence I feel like I have been missing for such a long time. At the end of the day, I like who I am, and most importantly I UNDERSTAND who I am, it doesn't hurt that I look super cute, and know what colors look best on me...

Okay, so this whole doTerra thing.... Now, this one got me into trouble with my husband... He was not too excited about my "investment" in these oils. However, he has decided that it's not worth the fight, because I'm Brittany and I kinda tend to get what I want... haha! No, he heard me out and now that I am putting them to use to help our daughter and he sees that I only got them because I was thinking about the welfare of our family, he has let me off the hook. I have always wanted to be a hippie, and have always kinda been a self-proclaimed hippie, one that likes all the natural things, but also buys food that is not organic... I have always believed in the balance. A little of this, a little of that... I try when I can, and this is one way I can try to help my family in a way that is more natural. I don't believe these are miracle, cure-all oils, but I do believe that they can help us recover from some common colds, aches and pains, and things like that in a more simplified way. Cade and I have never been into taking medicine anyways, so this made sense to me. Also, I love the idea of using these oils for things like "spa night" and household cleaners. So far, I am happy with my purchase, no regrets, I'll be sure to let you know all the positives and negatives--If I find any.. ;)

I am grateful for both of these things. They have both given me a feeling of control over my life, what I'm doing with it and where I plan to take it. They have both given me a sense of overall happiness, which isn't a bad thing, in my opinion. I am not afraid to say that I am crazy, and that I don't have it all together, because, well, I don't. I am grateful for some of these things out in the world that are pro-happy and pro-self-confidence. What sorts of things have you found that have made you happy or given you that sense of self-confidence/control? OR Were you just born with it?? (I have always been so jealous of those people who just KNOW who they are and what they want...I just flutter around trying to find what it is I want haha)

Thank you so much for reading! XO Brittany
