If you saw the post I did on my personal page, , then you can kind of consider this part 2 to that.
•
So one of the things my blood work revealed was that I had skipped ovulation last month. When we were trying to get pregnant with Nima and we were at the fertility clinic, they told me that I ovulate later in the cycle than those without PCOS, so I brought that up to my midwife/OB, thinking that’s why it said I didn’t ovulate.
•
After talking to my midwife, she told me that what they typically like to see for normal progesterone levels is a 10.
So, I asked her what my levels showed. 0.5. Yes. 0.5 out of 10. My body has been SCREAMING for help and I ignored her. 🤦♀️
•
So immediately, I knew I had to go back to my routine before going to the fertility clinic (they made me stop everything when we got started there). My routine, every single morning was: 1-2 drops Progessence Plus on my forearms and a roll of Endoflex on my neck.
•
Pro+ has natural progesterone from wild yams, so it mimics a human body’s progesterone. The addition of essential oils makes it more easily absorbed into the body! So while I am working on diet and other things in the background, I am using this to try to naturally boost my levels. Endoflex is a blend that has many herbs that are amazing for helping with PCOS symptoms, thyroid support, and libido boosting. You did read that right 🤣🙌🏼!
•
I’ll keep y’all updated on how this goes + will be talking about other things I’m doing to regulate my PCOS! **a note to the wise- whenever trying to regulate your hormones, even naturally, go slow and low. See how your body reacts and adjust accordingly! 💗

UPDATE: 5 spots left! ✨
•
Hey y’all! I had such a good time with my first sample group (and learned a lot from it, too 😋), I wanted to do another one!! So if you’d like to join in, comment below or message me!!
•
Quarantine sucks and I love happy mail, so I put together a sample group so some of us can hang out virtually + for some friends who want to learn more about essential oils (friends who don’t already have Young Living essential oils or an oils person!)! 💗
•
They would be completely FREE for you, all you would have to do is join in the group and give feedback! 🎉
•
This is how it works: 👇
•
I will mail you some goodies and then add you to a private, small Facebook group. Everyday for five to six days I’ll post a short video in the group on how to use one of the oils in your sample package. No pressure like I said...just something fun to do together right now 🥳!
•
Hoping to fill the spots I have by Wednesday since I’ll be heading to PA and may need to mail out! I only have around 10 spots for this month, so let me know if you’re in below or have any questions! 🙌🏼

You guyssss! It’s here, it’s here!! I have been dreaming of rebranding our essential oil team and giving it a fresh start for so long and this year, it just felt like the right timing. All the stars seemed to align and I was like- YEP, let’s do it. Soooo, let me introduce you to….Brine and Bramble! 🎉
•
So what is the significance for Brine and Bramble? When I was thinking about the rebranding, I was thinking a lot about 1- why I wanted to rebrand, 2- what it meant to me, and 3- what it would mean for the team. 💗
•
For me, I have always loved the ocean and forest, and have always been drawn to nature/eco-friendly designs/zero waste--all the environmentally friendly things. Nature grounds me in a way that is definitely spiritual for me, as I’m sure it does for many of you. I also grew up going hiking in the forests in Pennsylvania, while my husband grew up in Maine, near the ocean. We bring our love of both together for our family. 🌲🌊
•
For the team, I was thinking about how we have folks from all over the country and even internationally. We are connected by earth and bodies of water and these little bottles of plant magic that have changed so many of our lives💧. I just love that our tribe is from all over; coast to coast and beyond!
•
If you are already a part of our community, head over to the FB page to see all the changes coming and fun giveaways ALL MONTH! 🙌🏼 If you’re not a part of our oily fam yet, shoot me a message so we can get you hooked up! 💗

I can’t believe my sweet boy is 7 months! He’s been oily every since he was in my belly, diffused Gentle Baby or Frankincense the whole time I was laboring to bring him into this world, and still oiling in SO many ways now that he’s earthside. 💗

If you’ve got an oily baby or children, drop how many and your favorite emoji! 🙌🏼💗

This was during the Convention last year, where I was about 5 months pregnant with Nima, and still having an amazing time with some of my best gal friends. We may have met through essential oils, but we really do do life together and I can’t imagine my life without them now! 😭
•
It feels super weird to not be hanging out with them right now, but hopefully the world will heal enough for next year! 🤞🏼💗
