Winter Oils and Scents

January 7, 2008 by Kimberly Ayers 1 Comment

It’s that time of year for bright and happy smelling oils!  Citrus oils are yummy and are hard to smell without them bringing a smile to your face.  Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Orange, Clementine, Lemon, Lime……how can you go wrong with citrus?  Citrus essential oils are amazingly affordable which just makes it easier to obtain year round.  Diffuse them, make bath salts with them, bath gels, body oils – surround yourself in scent!

Don’t forget about colds and flu viruses running rampant at this time as well.  Eucalyptus oil is also good to have on hand for this germy time, especially if you have little ones running around.  Mix 20 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil with 2 oz of water in a small spray bottle and use to wipe down door knobs, counters, bathrooms, and also to spray your environment.  I can’t promise that it will keep you from getting sick but it will help to kill germs!

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
