Miss Fluffs and Pete's sake

Heatwaves, Diwali Joys, and the Simple Pleasures of Life

It’s been a scorcher of a few days—heatwaves in November are never a welcome surprise, especially when you’re glued to the fan both day and night. In fact, I can’t seem to escape the heat, even with my mini desk fan working overtime. I can barely move from my desk, but somehow, Miss Fluffs—aka Lana—has found a way to be all over me, even in this blistering heat. She’s constantly trying to steal my Mexican Chilli Crisps while I’m trying to type my blog. I mean, really? It’s a heatwave, not playtime.

But no, Lana insists on making my life a little more chaotic, despite the heat. She’s sprawled out on my keyboard, with her teething tyre in one paw, making my bed her personal jungle gym. I’m doing my best to type faster, but the keyboard is practically sizzling from the heat, and I’m trying to juggle everything at once. I rarely cook heavy meals in summer, so I keep things light and easy. I tend to cook at night when the temperature cools down, and then I sit back, and relax with the fan blowing from the highway, letting the sun warm my arm for that hour-long journey home.

Then, it’s Lana’s turn for some evening entertainment. Bath time, tug of war, a solid hour of chaos before I even think about what’s next. Do I hit the gym or eat? Gym is my meditation, but let’s be honest—food is life. The gym is life, but the food is a good life. LOL.

I absolutely adore my day shifts at work, though. I get to come home and do whatever I want, cleaning a little, laughing a little, and just celebrating the gift of a puppy and life in general. And let’s talk about Diwali! The Diwali boxes were a huge hit today. I couldn’t help but smile when my manager told me it didn’t make it home with him. That little moment of joy made the day feel special. I was content—almost content enough to call it perfect.

Today was one of those days when everything just clicked. The kind of day where you smile all the way home, basking in the joy of good vibes. It was invigorating, and peaceful, and made me appreciate the little things. Life is what you make of it, and today, I’m reminded to be grateful for all the good that surrounds me.

Sending you some sake of Pete's, a little laughter, and all the summer warmth to brighten your day!

Love,
G xxx

My soul in Furry form🥰😍

  My Pitador, my heart, my soul in furry form. Life has been dealing us a tough hand lately — we’ve been losing a lot. But I hold onto this truth: we  will  win. I know it in my bones. You had a rough start, a beginning no one should have to endure, but I promise you — things are going to turn around. I can take the hits life throws at  me , but not at you. You deserve everything good this world has to offer. I make this promise to you, Lana: I will fight harder. I will work faster. I will do more. All so you can have the happiness and peace you deserve. You’ll never know the full weight of the battles I’ve faced — but that doesn’t matter. Because we’re going to rise. Together. Love Mom

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.
