We’ve been in Go Mode all August. The energy has been high, the goals have been bold, and the focus has been on forward momentum. But here’s the truth: it’s not the big bursts that create lasting results—it’s consistency.
This last week of August, I want to encourage you to pause, reflect, and celebrate the small, steady actions that actually move the needle. Because consistency—not perfection—is where the real win happens.

Meet Your Oily Girl Friday™
Traditionally, a “Girl Friday” was the right-hand woman who kept everything running smoothly—versatile, reliable, and always on call to handle whatever came her way.
Fast forward to today… and meet The Oily Girl Friday™—your modern-day, 24/7 aromatherapy assistant.
She’s not filing papers or typing memos. Instead, she’s here to:
- Suggest diffuser blends that match your mood
- Share recipes for rollers, sprays, and DIYs
- Offer quick tips so your oils stay in rotation, not on the shelf
Think of her as your digital right-hand woman for wellness—always on call, always consistent, and always helping you stay aligned.
Try her for a week, share your feedback, and I’ll mail you a Fun Fall Sample Pack as a thank-you.

CJ’s Oil in the City
Your brain makes up just 2% of your body weight, but it uses 20% of your energy. That tiny powerhouse is running the whole show: memory, mood, focus, sleep, cravings, decisions, and more.
This month’s free Brilliant Brain Course is designed to help you give your brain the love and support it deserves. Because brain health isn’t just for seniors. It’s for busy moms, working professionals, caretakers, creatives—you. Whether you’re 25 or 65, your brain matters, and the good news is that you can shape how it performs.
⸻
What You’ll Learn Inside
The Brilliant Brain Course will walk you through:
- What’s really going on in your brain, without needing a neuroscience degree
- Simple, science-backed ways to boost brain health
- How to improve focus, energy, memory, mood, and sleep
- Tools to help you feel like yourself again—or maybe even better
By the end, you’ll walk away with practical, everyday strategies to take charge of your most valuable asset: your brilliant brain.
⸻
Quick Brain Basics
- Neurons are your brain’s messengers—you have about 86 billion.
- Neurotransmitters are like chemical text messages: serotonin for mood, dopamine for motivation, GABA for calm.
- Neuroplasticity is your brain’s superpower—it can change, grow, and heal at any age.
Inflammation, stress, poor diet, and toxins all interfere with how these systems work, leading to brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings. But the flipside is empowering: when you care for your body, you care for your brain.
⸻
Nourish the Brain
Your brain is picky—it needs quality fuel to perform well.
- NingXia Red supports circulation, eye-brain connection, sleep, and energy with powerful antioxidants.
- MindWise nourishes cognitive function with CoQ10, turmericWelcome to the Brilliant Brain Course, and key nutrients.
- Mineral Essence provides the trace minerals your brain needs for neurotransmission.
Add in healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts), hydration with minerals, and brain foods like eggs, salmon, and berries, and you’ll feel sharper, steadier, and more resilient.
⸻
Calm the Brain
Stress keeps your brain in survival mode, flooding it with cortisol and draining focus. Essential oils and supplements can help bring calm back:
- Lavender, Frankincense, Peace & Calming, and Stress Away for emotional support
- Super B to nourish the nervous system
- KidScents Unwind for gentle relaxation
Pair oils with simple calming practices: deep breathing, journaling, gratitude, or tech-free wind-down routines. A calmer brain makes clearer choices.
⸻
Focus the Brain
Distraction is constant, but focus is a skill that can be strengthened:
- NingXia Nitro offers clean energy without the crash.
- Oils like Peppermint, Clarity, Brain Power, or GeneYus support attention and mental clarity.
- Add movement breaks, puzzles, and protein-rich breakfasts to keep your brain powered throughout the day.
⸻
Rest the Brain
Sleep isn’t lazy—it’s maintenance. Your brain clears toxins, consolidates memories, and balances hormones while you rest. Tools to help:
- RutaVaLa, Cedarwood, and SleepyIze oils for restful sleep
- KidScents Unwind to relax the nervous system
- Habits like limiting screens before bed, diffusing calming oils, and evening protein snacks to balance blood sugar
⸻
Protect the Brain Long-Term
Brain health isn’t just about today, it is about protecting your future. Reduce toxins, learn new skills, and support daily detox with tools like the Daily Detox Duo. Stay mentally and physically active, and your brain will thank you with sharper focus and better memory for years to come.
⸻
Take the Next Step
Your brain deserves intentional care. The Brilliant Brain Bundle makes it simple to get started with products and tools that nourish, calm, focus, and protect your brain.
This month’s free class gives you the knowledge. These tools help you put it into action.

You’ve set your goals—now let’s fuel them. This month’s CJ’s Oil in the City August eZine is packed with practical, science-backed tips to help you feel sharper, stronger, and more focused as we shift from summer’s ease to fall’s pace.
Here are three gems you’ll find inside:
1. Exercise for Energy, Not Exhaustion
More isn’t always better. Just 30–45 minutes of intentional strength training a few times a week can improve blood sugar balance, build stronger bones, and even boost brain power. The right workout should recharge you, not drain you.
2. The Brain Chemistry of Focus
Your digestive tract has over 100 million neurons—more than your spinal cord. What you eat, your gut health, and how you manage inflammation directly influence your ability to focus. The eZine explains why your “second brain” might be the missing link in crushing your productivity goals.
3. Daily Hormone Essentials
Hormonal shifts can affect mood, energy, and mental clarity. This new supplement blends herbs, adaptogens, and essential oils to support estrogen metabolism, adrenal health, and steady energy—without the artificial fillers.
These are just a few of the tools and insights waiting for you inside.
Read the full August eZine here.
Let’s make August the month we stop circling our goals—and finally land them.

CJ’s Oil in the City
Consistency is what transforms average into excellence.” – Tony Robbins
Let’s talk about the real secret sauce behind every glow-up, wellness win, or energy boost you’ve ever seen.
No, it’s not magic.
It’s consistency.
And if we’re being real, the oils sitting in your cabinet don’t work unless you use them.
🌿 Use them before you need them.
That lavender? It’s more powerful when you use it regularly—not just when stress hits like a freight train.
That EndoFlex? It works best when you support your endocrine system consistently—not only when your cycle is acting shady.
Here’s how to make that shift:
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about building oil habits that actually support your day, your body, and your emotions.
One of the best ways to do that?
Track your usage.
Pay attention.
Write it down.
When you treat your oil and supplement journey like a little experiment—with curiosity and compassion—you start noticing what works for you. That’s when it gets good.
⸻
💧 Ready to Build Consistency? Try the 7-Day Oil Challenge.
Let’s get those bottles off the shelf and into your life:
- Choose 7 oils—your faves or the ones you’ve been meaning to use more.
- Line them up on the counter, your desk, or your diffuser tray.
- Each day, pick one to diffuse or apply and jot down:
- How did it smell?
- How did it make you feel?
- Did your mood or energy shift?
- Use a journal or even the notes app on your phone.
- After 7 days, look back and notice what oil felt like a win—and what surprised you.
✨Pro Tip: Don’t overthink it. You can repeat oils, mix them, or change your mind. This is your practice.
⸻
🔁 Share your results and keep the momentum going!
This isn’t about using all the oils—it’s about learning how to use the right ones for the real you.
Consistency doesn’t have to be boring. It can smell like citrus, feel like calm, and look like joy.
