No panic attacks today!! Lately my body has been reacting to the daily stress of teaching. But today, I've come prepared to face the "end of the day attack" when my body decides it's had enough. My blend today is Lavender and Clary Sage! I chose these for 2 reasons; calming and balancing. What are some tips you have to help you when your body wants to overreact?

Hey beautiful souls! I need your wisdom on something exciting! 💕 So here's what's happening: 𝐼'𝑚 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔! While April Joy Wellness will always be our home for coaching, herbs, and holistic wellness, I'm launching a separate 𝒸𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝓈𝓉𝓊𝒹𝒾ℴ for all the fun things I've been creating - journals, coloring pages, digital designs, apps, and more! I've narrowed it down to 𝗧𝗪𝗢 names and I genuinely can't decide. Both domains are available and both feel aligned with different parts of my vision. Here are your choices: 🌿 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 - Keeps everything clearly connected under the April Joy brand family. You'd have April Joy Wellness (coaching/herbs) and April Joy Studio (creative products). 🌹 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 - A fresh, boutique sister brand with its own personality. Still me, but with a more creative, whimsical feel for the artistic side of things. Which one resonates with you more? Which would you be more excited to shop from? Vote below and if you feel called, drop a comment about WHY you chose what you chose - your insights always blow me away! This is genuinely such a hard decision and I trust this community's intuition so much. You all GET the vibe we're creating here! Thanks for being a part of this community 🫶 🌹
