Diffusing vs Candles: Petra King Photography I Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer
The first Blog entry of 2025! Happy New Year friends. I hope you are all staying healthy and happy? Today’s blog post is going to hit a little differently. Less talking and more visuals for you ;).
If I could write a letter to my younger self I would strongly encourage myself to have done my research earlier! Blindly following labels just because they say all natural, pure, safe or green clean is far from what lies underneath. It’s a term called “Greenwashing” Simply put, hidden toxins, chemicals and fragrances that are otherwise banned or renamed just to sell a product.
Fast forward 15 years and I started using Young Living Essential Oils and dove into learning all I could. I am now older and more wiser :)
And when I ditched candles for my diffuser

It’s January, the days are long, dark and cold. Does anyone else feel like the winter months drag on and on and when spring and summer roll around it’s gone in the blink of an eye? LOL…WHY? Why is this always the case? I mean I know we long for summer time, the warmth of the sun and breezy nights. But I wish we could bottle that feeling up and open it to rejuvenate ourselves whenever we wanted.
Today on my Instagram stories I shared a little of how I’ve been struggling with the winter blah’s. I must admit, I am NOT a winter lover. Haaa..while it’s perfect for Christmas Day, I could easily have enough for one week and then hibernate or move south :) As a busy mom of 2 teens, a dog mama and running my Portrait Studio it’s hard to carve out pockets of time for myself. BUT I do make it a non negotiable to get a workout in. Additionally it’s so important to take the right supplements and vitamins to support your body. If you are a busy mom and reading this you are well aware that most days it’s even hard to get a meal in. Be it hot, cold or the kids leftovers am I right?
I am very in tune with my body and when the emotions and feelings dip, I reach for things that work and that make me feel more like myself. For me that starts with my essential oils. I have been using them for about 10 years and sharing more and more with you about what I use on the daily. What I clean the studio with, diffuse during your sessions and when it’s time for sleep…what my favourite go to’s are.
There has been such a great response and interest in what I’ve been sharing of late. So first and foremost I LOVE that you are loving it too. So if you see something I use or do and it sparks your intrest or you want to learn more about, just ask. I am an open book and love sharing my favourite oils, products and daily routines with you too. Honestly…I know you will love them too.
Feel free to follow along if you’d like. I will be sharing more in the coming weeks ahead. If you’ve got questions, you know where to reach me. And if it’s not for you and you are just here for the pretty pictures that’s fine too. LOL.
Have a wonderful and healthy weekend ahead friends. Much love,
Petra
