Boy, it’s already February, and I hear many of our friends, family and colleagues New Year’s resolutions sound something like this: I’m going to exercise more, eat healthier, make more time to volunteer and be more organized. It’s the standard promises made to make the coming year better for ourselves.

Yet, there is one resolution missing in these goals we strive for: the green resolution, the resolution to better our environment and planet.
So, let’s make a resolution to not just better ourselves, but better our environment, better our planet and make the green resolution!

The New Year is a time of reflection and introspection, inviting you to contemplate what you would like to create in your life in the upcoming year. Whatever your goals or resolutions may be—from expanding your social network, enriching relationships or creating a deeper spiritual connection—using essential oils can help support your success in 2018 and every year!
