It’s hard imagining, let alone experiencing our current world pandemic. Never in my lifetime would I have thought self-isolation, social distancing, and lack of toilet paper and limited disinfectant supplies would be major challenges. It’s heartbreaking that people are sick or getting sick, brick and mortar small businesses that aren’t considered “essential” are forced to shutdown, travel and hospitality services are at a halt, schools are closed, and the inevitable layoffs and furloughs increase as each day passes. To put it plainly: it’s a stressful time! Some of us are definitely more affected than others, and I am grateful that Matthew, my parents, and my loved ones are safe. But our current situation is nonetheless taking a toll on everyone. Easter is right around the corner, a new springtime is in bloom, and I am determined to stay positive, productive, and healthy with a new perspective, steadfast endurance, gratitude, and simple joys along the way.
I’ve been home in self-isolation for over 3 weeks now, and I’ve made it my goal to stay safe and heathy while being creative with my extra time at home and productive with staying positive and paying closer attention to self-care. Stress and anxiety is a burden on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. And during my time at home, I gratefully discovered Blue Ash Essentials to promote relaxation, restfulness, and calmness with added practicalities. Blue Ash Essentials is a small business that produces 100% pure and certified organic essential oils that not only awaken the senses to promote natural benefits, such as rejuvenation and sleep, but use natural ingredients for practical DIY purposes, such as cleaning, disinfecting, and repelling insects!
Given our current situation, I love that I can carry a Blue Ash Essentials hand sanitizer that is organic, natural, and effective wherever I go with me, whether it is to the grocery store or doctor’s office (I get monthly allergy shots). I researched that for any disinfectant to be effective, especially against COVID-19, there needs to be at least 60% alcohol. My Blue Ash Essentials hand sanitizer contains 62% organic ethyl alcohol (win!) mixed with carefully sourced natural ingredients and essential oils of tea tree, lemon, lavender, and eucalyptus. I feel confident with an effective yet all natural and organic hand sanitizer that smells incredible.
Blue Ash Essential Oils and Hand Sanitizer
100% Pure Certified Organic
And Sustainable
To be honest, I had never used essential oils. What intrigued me about Blue Ash Essentials was its hand sanitizer. If I have a choice between consuming something that is organic and natural versus manufactured with chemicals I can’t even pronounce, I’ll always choose what is most pure and natural. While I still use Clorox bleach and wipes, a healthier alternative for me is always preferred. Plus, Clorox and Lysol are hard to find these days, and I count that as a blessing for my recent discovery of a natural, yet effective alternative.
Having discovered Blue Ash Essentials hand sanitizer, I quickly got introduced to the heart of its products – essential oils. Of course, I had heard of essential oils, but putting them to use was entirely new to me. But after some added research, I discovered a host of uses for essential oils. Have you ever been to the spa and thought it smells absolutely wonderful? There are reasons for that (relaxation!). And my grandmother always filled my closet with lavender sachets (moth repellant!). Here are some other DIY uses with essential oils – so helpful! I especially love that I can dilute my orange and lavender essential oils with distilled water and create my own room spray to freshen up our home.
In addition to essential oils and hand sanitizer, Blue Ash Essentials also has a multipurpose cleaner! Plus, we are all able to support a small business at a time when there are so many economic challenges.
I hope and pray all of you stay safe and healthy. Easter Sunday is nearly here, and there is so much hope that this too shall pass. Sending everyone lots of love and joy! Happy Easter!!
