Do black and navy go?

 As I was sitting in the hospital, awaiting my admission, a young girl was there supporting her mom and brother, and obviously dressed for work for the day, and at 6am in the morning I am not sure if she was confused and grabbed what she could or she felt like a fairy for the day. I have no intention of making a judgement on anyone's specifications, but goodness sake, this got me. I blame this mostly on my mom, as she always said, Brown and Black do not go. Pink and red do not go. Colour code and match your clothes. She always gave us such handy tips and as a result we were always ahead of the rest on a civvies day. Always in season. I always here you cannot wear sandals with a jersey, does it even make sense?

Now these days the millennials in their young prime, is acting out and defying the fashion world I believe and with their icons wear a specific item, so be it for the rest of the street and I am gutted, almost devastated how they can almost confuse the class fashion comes with.

This young girl, had her hair braided on either side, and hooked at the back of her head, which was stunning. I liked the hair style. The ear rings she wore, was too big and too blingy. The newest fashion is to have your ears hang on your cheeks. Big is great, oversized is just a matter of taste, and what mirror you use. She then had on a stunning black coat, as it is Autumn here at the moment. But then it got messy. She had on a navy netted skirt, with thick black stockings and a black suede boot. I was absolutely in shock. As I was taught and probably showing my age, Black and Navy do not go!

I then saw a lady in the grocery store, walking out while we were walking in. Look I am not going to say much as she was a pretty young girl, but her dress code said take all my cellulite and use me. She had on a non fitting tight dress, with a slit up her left leg, showing all her goodness, with a black sandal, and a light blue pullover. The beauty for me stopped at her face. Why did anyone not tell her that she was rather naked and inviting. But maybe that was her intention.

Then I looked at a young man helping me with my blood tests at the hospital. Handsome young man, and such a great personality. Here is the thing, on every finger there was a ring. He wore the same color pants with same color top and a sneaker to match. Not sure what the intention was. The ear rings that he wore, was two holes on each ear. Look be you naturally, and maybe I have to become more aligned with the young rebels but somehow I feel that being in your element is ok, but dressing to fit into a generation that is either smart or sleazy is tricky. There is such a difference. We cannot mimic a thin model when we have an apple bottom.

But hey what do I know, I am an 80's kid.


Let me know what your fashion sense is. I would love to know!

Oils over Pills - Lana Essential Promise

Most people today reach for a pill when they have muscle pain or a headache. It's quick, it numbs the discomfort, and—let’s be honest—it can give a certain kind of high. That fast relief becomes addictive in its own way, leading many down a cycle of temporary fixes. But what if we paused and looked at healing from a different angle? Holistic healing doesn’t always offer the instant gratification we’ve come to expect, but it brings something deeper: long-term wellness without filling your body with synthetic chemicals. Sure, some essential oil blends can work quickly—headaches included—but the real power is in the overall healing they promote. It’s pure, intentional, and supports the body rather than masking the symptoms. Here’s what I’ve learned: using natural remedies takes effort. It’s a lifestyle choice. But simple things help, like keeping your oil blend where you need it most. Leave it near your skincare station, your bedside, or by the couch where you rest your feet. I keep m...

One year on...

  Can you believe it’s already been a year since Lana Essential Oils was just a dream in the making? Back then, we had a different name, smaller batches, and an overwhelming to-do list while juggling a full-time job. And Lana — our beautiful inspiration — wasn’t even a part of our lives yet. What a journey it's been. Over the past year, I’ve learned so much more than how to craft essential oil blends. I’ve learned to  honour my heart , to trust soulful connections, to gently release what doesn’t resonate, and to keep pushing forward — even when the road gets rough. Starting this wellness cart has been more than just a business move — it's been a turning point. A transformation. A deep affirmation that living your most authentic journey is not only possible, but necessary. To our customers: your warmth and sincerity mean the world. I feel privileged. I feel blessed. And I feel ready for what’s to come. 💫 Thank you for being part of this journey.
