Moral of the story

 Today was a day where everything asked for gentleness.

After a PTSD-related cleanup at home — the kind that leaves your body aching and your mind drained — I reached for something I’ve come to rely on: the “Muscle Recovery” blend from Lana Essential Oils. That familiar scent, the gentle warmth of castor oil, and the ritual of care was exactly what my body needed.
I followed it with a hot shower, trying to melt away what was left of the tension. But as I reached for the bottle, the worst happened — the pipette slipped. Glass everywhere.
Fine, fragile shards sparkled across the bathroom floor — a sharp contrast to the safe and soothing ritual I’d hoped for. The good news: none of the oil was contaminated. The bottle had broken apart, but not within the blend. Small blessings.
This is the thing with essential oils in glass pipette bottles — they’re beautiful and precise, but fragile. Especially when your hands are oily or you're not quite grounded after a tough emotional push. Plastic might be more forgiving, but it just doesn’t offer the protection that amber glass does — especially for castor oil and custom blends that are light-sensitive.
So here’s what I’ve learned (again):
🌿 Healing is not always smooth.
🌿 Rituals can break, and we have to gently piece them back together.
🌿 And maybe I need backup amber bottles — with droppers that can take a tumble.
If you’re on a healing journey too — whether it’s physical, emotional, or both — be kind to yourself. Even when things shatter.

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.
