Sweet orange and castor oil blend here at Lana Essentials

 As many of you know, my journey with Lana Essentials has been nothing short of transformative. My hair has grown stronger, fuller, and more resilient—and while my original hair challenge may be wrapping up, I’m not stopping anytime soon. Hair care has become a lifestyle, not just a goal.

But as one challenge ends, another begins.
With winter settling in, my focus has shifted to my hands. Cold air, dry indoor heat, and constant handwashing have made my skin feel tight, rough, and in desperate need of some TLC. That’s why I’ve started a new self-care ritual using a blend of castor oil and sweet orange essential oil—rich, nourishing, and perfect for healing dry winter skin.
However, a small mishap reminded me just how delicate our skin really is. While deep-cleaning floor tiles, I used acetone—a powerful solvent—and accidentally burned my skin. Acetone strips the skin of oils instantly, and in the winter?
This experience has deepened my respect for natural healing and reminded me of the importance of treating our skin with care—especially when it’s already stressed by the elements.

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.
