I’ve always believed that real beauty starts from the inside out. It’s not just about what we see in the mirror—it’s how we feel, what we believe, and how we treat those around us. That is what makes a woman truly Beautiful.
I’m a mom of six, so I know how easy it is to put yourself last. It's not easy to stop and focus on yourself because Mom-Guilt is real! I've learned that taking care of yourself doesn't have to be a day at the spa, but rather, small, simple acts of intentionality.
When I started Silver Orange, I wasn’t just trying to make pretty products (though they are pretty!). I wanted to create something that spoke to the heart of women and reminded them of their true worth. I wanted to offer up inspiration, encouragement and joy.
One of the ways I slow down and practice self-care is by using essential oil rollers. I started making essential oil rollers years before offering them in my small business. I researched, tested, and tweaked until I came up with a set of blends that I found inspiring and truly helped me at times when I felt overwhelmed, anxious, or just needed a little lift.
I pick the blend I need that day, roll it on my wrists or neck, breathe it in, and pause. Just taking a few seconds can make a big difference in how I approach the rest of the day.
My essential oil blends have become the main products of Silver Orange and I love sharing them! I only use organic carrier oils—like jojoba, coconut, and evening primrose—because I want these blends to be gentle and good for your skin.
Then I add pure essential oils that do more than smell nice. Our “Brave” blend, for example, has sweet orange, peppermint, and rosemary. It’s fresh, energizing, and helps me focus on what I need to do that day. There are no fillers, no harsh chemicals. Just pure, natural goodness that supports our skin and honors our bodies.
In addition to the oils, I add crystals, like amethyst or citrine. They are an extra touch that adds so much beauty to the roller and to my day! There’s just something special about seeing those little gems swirl around inside the bottle.
Watching them move while I apply the oil is part of what makes the experience feel soothing and creates a grounding moment.
To me, conscious beauty means thinking about what we’re putting on our skin—not just avoiding the bad stuff, but adding the good stuff! Our bodies are incredible, and they deserve to be treated with care and respect. I don’t think self-care has to be complicated. It can be as simple as using something that smells good that also reminds me of my worth. That's why they're named with positive, intentional words like Loved, Brave and Beautiful.
Self-care looks different for everyone, but for me, it’s become about these small, meaningful routines—breathing in something that calms me, saying an affirmation, choosing to speak kindly to myself. I also use Affirmation Gems. I read the card, repeat the affirmation and drop the stone in my pocket. Whenever I feel it throughout the day, I remember the message and let it sink in again. I don't have to be perfect, I am already enough. A good friend once told me, "Perfection is not for this side of Heaven," and that has stuck with me over the years. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about giving myself grace and remembering where my worth really comes from.
Some days, rolling on one of my blends is the only quiet moment I get—and that’s enough. It’s a simple way to care for myself, to slow down and remember I don’t have to do it all. I love knowing what’s in the bottle: clean, intentional ingredients that support both my skin and my spirit. That’s the heart behind Silver Orange—to bring beauty, purpose, and a spark of joy into everyday moments—for me, and hopefully for you too.
