Aromatherapy Toolkit Safety WarningsEssential oils are often written off as nonsense. But non-synthetic oils are the real deal. And as such can be as dangerous as they are efficacious.
So never ingest oils. Don’t use oils if you are sensitive, pregnant, nursing, have epilepsy, asthma, health challenges or doubts, before consulting a medical professional.
Kids and cats are sensitive to oils! Some sources say certain oils can give cats Upper Respiratory Infections and lead to liver problems. Other animals are sensitive to essential oils as well so avoid using them too near other pets as well.
Robert Tisserand wrote the bible on aromatherapy & safety. If you use oils daily on yourself or others pick up a copy of Essential Oil Safety.

Artists think that we don't deserve time off because we haven't worked hard enough lately. But just because we don't punch a time clock, don't have a rigid schedule, and don't wear presentable clothes or leave the house for days in a row- doesn't mean we aren't working. And it also doesn't mean we don't desperately need dedicated days off in order to prosper emotionally and financially.

Hop over here to see examples on the post itself of email signatures you might like to make for yourself.
Email signature options one, two and three.
Option 1. Great, short video from Northern Viking on how to create a simple but effective email signature for your Gmail account.
Option 2. Here is the video I spoke of so highly. Daniela Cervante's free template for the gorgeous email signature you can make in Canva and insert into your Gmail. (In the podcast I said this one would be in HOT PINK letters in show notes, but sadly there are no color options in show notes by Simplecast, so just pretend you see pink with me.)
If you make your email signature and you love it but are having trouble getting it to show up on every email you send-consider hiring someone at Upwork or Fivver to help you. I've found that option low-cost and sanity-saving for snags I have had on my WordPress blog etc.
Option 3. Buy your pre-made template from a company like WiseStamp.
Do you use Outlook Explorer? I salute you, but it is a tad tricky, nothing you can't handle. Pop over here instead.
