Some days feel like a blur—whether it's work meetings, errands, dinner that still needs cooking, or just trying to keep the house from becoming a disaster zone. And on those days, taking care of yourself can feel like one more thing to do.
That’s why I love simple, no-fuss self-care. Things that actually fit into real life.
And doTERRA’s Tea Tree essential oil? Total game-changer.
The Little Bottle That Does A Lot
Tea Tree Oil is one of those quiet heroes in my bathroom cabinet. It’s not flashy. But it’s always there when I need a little refresh—whether it’s for my scalp, my nails, or just the calming scent while I reset between the day’s chaos and the evening wind-down.
It smells fresh and clean (like opening the windows in spring), and it makes those small self-care rituals feel doable—even if the rest of life feels like a bit of a whirlwind.
DIY Nail & Cuticle Oil
For when your hands are working overtime
After a long day—typing, washing dishes, folding clothes, or just existing—my nails and cuticles can start looking… well, tired. This little soak is quick, feels luxurious, and makes my hands look like I actually took a moment for myself.
You’ll need:
- 1 tbsp olive oil or jojoba oil
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 drops doTERRA Tea Tree Oil
- Optional: 1 drop Lavender for a calming boost
To use:
Gently warm the oils and stir in the essential oils. Soak your fingertips for 5–10 minutes—while watching a show, catching up on messages, or just taking a quiet moment. Massage the leftover oil into your hands. That’s it.
Easy Scalp Refresh
Perfect between wash days or when your hair needs a reset
If your scalp ever feels weighed down or dull between washes, this quick scalp massage with Tea Tree Oil can make a huge difference.
You’ll need:
- 1 tbsp fractionated coconut oil (or your favorite carrier oil)
- 2–3 drops doTERRA Tea Tree Oil
To use:
Part your hair and apply the oil blend directly to the scalp. Massage gently for a few minutes, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then rinse or shampoo as usual. I like doing this once a week—or whenever I remember, honestly.
Simple Care That Fits Real Life
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about finding ways to care for yourself in the life you already have. Tea Tree Oil makes that a little easier. It’s simple. It’s clean. It makes those in-between moments feel intentional.
And honestly? Sometimes that 5-minute nail soak or scalp massage feels like the most luxurious thing I’ve done all week.
