A day in the life of Lana and I - For now


Thinking of vlogging this — but we’ll see how long I’m actually at home for!

Here’s a little look at a typical day in the life of me and my sidekick, Lana.

Lana acts as my alarm clock, bright and early at 5 AM, calling for breakfast. I get her sorted, make myself a coffee, and settle down with my laptop to check emails, hunt for new jobs online, and maybe even squeeze in a little blogging if I'm feeling inspired.

By 7 AM, I decide whether to work a bit on Lana Essential Oils — updating statuses and getting people interested in the products.

Around 7:45 AM, it’s time for a bathroom break. I tackle my rather furry hair, brush my teeth (if I remember!), make the bed (if my husband’s already left for work), and clean upstairs for a bit.

By 9 AM, I head downstairs for a glass of water and something small to eat, usually a banana and a muffin to break my fast.

Around 10 AM, I check what we’re short of and plan what’s on the menu for lunch or dinner, depending on my husband’s schedule.

From 10:30 AM to about noon, it’s time to print labels, run errands if needed, and of course, play catch or whatever game Lana has decided on for the day.

At some point, Lana needs her nap — and I’ve realized that if I light an incense stick and lie down with her, I might as well take a little snooze too.

By 2 PM, we’re both refreshed and head downstairs to prep dinner, defrost anything that needs it, and maybe throw a load of washing into the machine (which usually ends up drying indoors, depending on the weather).

At around 4 PM, I catch up on any customer queries and then prep Lana’s dinner for 4:30 PM.

While our food is cooking, it’s time to wash up around 6 PM and set the table for dinner (or supper — whichever you prefer to call it).

By 7 PM, it’s shower time, followed by a final round of playtime with Lana to tire her out. Then it’s straight into bed to either watch something or dive into a book.

And that pretty much sums up my day — assuming there aren’t any deliveries, errands, or unexpected surprises! I usually scroll through social media until I get sleepy, then it’s lights out.

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.
