Refresh, reflect and reward : Kathmandu!

Off to Kathmandu, I presume, for an adventure that promises not only fun but also a spiritual awakening. In February, I will embark on a two-week journey, one that blends volunteer work with the chance to explore the wonders of the world on the other side of the globe. It’s a dream I’ve held for years, one I never thought I would fully experience, but now, as the time approaches, I feel more certain than ever.

When I was younger, I often imagined walking up the stairs to a monastery, holding my son’s hand. I envisioned that moment, the weight of my child in my arms as we shared in the stillness of the sacred spaces. But as life unfolded, I found myself without children, yet with a heart that still yearns for that spiritual pilgrimage. Now, the time has come—not with children by my side, but with the hope of a profound personal journey that will bless and heal me.

At nearly 45 years old, I’ve spent years contemplating life, its twists, turns, and the paths not taken. But this? This journey feels like the one I was always meant to take. I’m nervous, of course. Traveling so far, for so long, alone, is daunting. Yet, deep inside, I know this is what I need. This adventure will bring me the clarity I seek, the reflection I’ve been longing for, and the peace I deserve.

I read recently that we have about 4000 weeks here on earth, a stark reminder of life’s brevity. And while many of us hesitate, waiting for the “right” time to take a leap, I’ve made the decision to follow my heart. Leaving my current job is a huge step, especially in these uncertain economic times, but the pull of this journey is undeniable. Life is too short to stay in one place when your soul is calling for something more.

Kathmandu isn’t just a destination; it’s a place where I hope to deepen my connection to the world around me and to myself. It’s where I will learn to be still, to reflect, to heal, and to discover what comes next. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that this step—this adventure—is part of the path I’ve been searching for. As I step into this new chapter, I’m ready to embrace the unknown, to trust the process, and to be open to whatever blessings await.

This is my time to grow, to heal, and to explore life in its fullest sense. Kathmandu, here I come.

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.
