Fake News and Rare Essential Oils

The term Fake News can be read everywhere on the internet. It's basically false information, and these days a term you hear a lot!

As I browsed my Facebook feed this morning, I came across an article that announced that Former First Lady Barbara Bush had passed away at age 92. The thread of comments showcased people's sentiments and condolences.

I remember reading yesterday about her failing health and that she was at home with family, so I googled the news. Nothing. Not CNN. Not Fox. Nowhere.
Then, I read a comment that said "Fake News." Here we go...

I commented on the thread, because I was almost insulted for Mrs. Bush's fake demise. Just because someone is dying doesn't mean they are dead. I was secretly glad she was still alive, even though I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing for her or the family. I don't know.
Even something so personal - putting aside from what political views you may have - doesn't seem to be off limits to the Fake News bandwagon, and that really made me sad for how things are being reported these days, alongside the lack of courtesy and respect.
The post has since been deleted, out of respect, hopefully.* 

I have been watching a 5-part documentary series on the Kennedy family, and one of the things I took from it is the enormous burden First Ladies have, including our present one.
First Ladies are a rarity. Most women do not become First Ladies.  They are indeed rare.

This rarity concept was making my brain churn and I decided to dig into my essential oils stash and look for oils that are not available anymore.

Last year, doTERRA launched a Mother's Day Trio special of 5 ml oils: Kumquat, Red Mandarin and Sunny Citrus Blend.

I grabbed the Kumquat and splurged, putting 3 drops into my diffuser together with 1 drop of Blue Tansy, an expensive oil that was launched last year. The combination was something magical, and I felt that rarity concept manifest into my lungs.

This morning, I had gone into my account and gotten 2 Mother's Day collections (maximum 2 per account, you see), because these two will become rare oils, and I have no idea when they will be sold out. The Harmony Collection boasts Green Mandarin (can be used as a food preservative and good for the immune system!), Pink Pepper (I have always loved pink pepper for so many reasons, but calming and immune support make perfect sense) and Star Anise (digestion support and grounding), so I am really excited that these 3 will come with a booklet of 30 recipes and also to make perfume! What better gift than that! So I cannot wait for these to come in the mail.
