Last night, @parfumdemarie and I attended an event put on by @atribecalledvenus, a local community organization that works to bring together and empower women. If I may speak with full disclosure- I’m normally not very good at things like this. Imagine for a moment, you’re at a civilized dinner party and out from the border of the forest comes this wild wolf girl with bruises on her knees, muddy bare feet, twigs and knots in her hair and no hesitation to jump on the tables and thrash the dinnerware. Yeah, that’s kind of how I normally feel at things like this. (Exaggerations for point). Not that I’m intimidated or worried what others would think of me, I’ve been over that feeling for a while now; but more overwhelmed with an ongoing display of the idea that I simply wouldn’t be accepted for the unconventional wild woman I am. I’m independent, smart, witty and dare I say a little rock + roll, and usually I find most other women are intimidated by someone like me. Society tends to make people feel like we have to fit into some pretty, perfect box with little pink bows in order to be accepted, and I’m a strong believer in the exact opposite, so more often than not, it doesn’t make for a good time out. I must say, however, the women I met were nothing but welcoming, inviting and accommodating. We created essential oil rollers, starting with dried rose petals and mine had bits of tiger’s eye crystals, mix a few drops of different oils to make a blend, and I finished it off with pure-grade coconut oil. Mine contained peppermint, tangerine and bergamot and the final scent was divine! Oh, and I forgot to mention I ended up winning the raffle, too. 🤷🏻♀️🖤💫 All that to say, sometimes we have to get out of our own way if we’re craving new experiences in our lives. I could have allowed the (seemingly tried and true) opinion of situations like this to dictate whether or not I’d even attend, but I didn’t. And I’m thankful for that as I wake up for my day this morning. I’m going to roll on a little aromatherapy now, and conquer. Happy Friday! . #bohoblogger #downtowncredo #essentialoilsforhealth #womenwhorunwiththewolves (at Downtown CREDO) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0VBK1BskT/?igshid=rqveuvxi9bi8
