Winter Facial Serum - Skin care revelation

Facial serum—what can I say? It’s been quite the experience. For a brief moment, I forgot the exact ingredients I had mixed into the latest batch. Then, as if guided by instinct, I remembered them—every one, right down to the quantities. That’s the magic of creating something from a place of intuition and experience.

A pimple had made a rather bold appearance on my face recently. I knew from past experience it was likely to leave a dark mark. But after just two days of using my custom serum blend—yes, two days—the pimple began forming a light scab. Healing is definitely underway, and I’m keeping a close eye on it. It’s incredible how I pull together elements from different scenarios, almost like a puzzle, and use my face as the test canvas. This process has taught me that my formulations aren’t just for me—they have the potential to help so many others.

While I can’t share the full ingredient list (a bit of a trade secret!), I can share this: my eyelashes are looking noticeably longer, my skin feels more relaxed and supple, and even after a solid night's rest, my face feels soft to the touch. I’m genuinely impressed. Again!

One thing I’ve noticed is how far a little serum can go—especially with castor oil as the carrier. It’s rich, nourishing, and has made even the hairs on my chin feel softer and more manageable. In the dead of winter, this serum has been my skincare savior, keeping my face hydrated, protected, and glowing.

To round off my routine, I pair the serum with a weekly hand scrub session using an exfoliating glove. Just a little self-care ritual that keeps me feeling refreshed and renewed.

This journey with my facial serum has reminded me why I love crafting these blends. They’re personal, effective, and ever-evolving.

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.
