Happy Mama Story

Alright… This is a true story.  It exposes a side of my personality that I don’t often talk about, but I do believe is relatable to others.  This is a no judgment zone.  If you have never had a bad day, keep scrolling!

My name is Melissa Dunbar, I am a mother of 2 awesome boys and the wife of one lucky man!  Most days I am happy and lovable and positive.  Most days meaning like 24 days a month.  

Now, I am not really willing to admit that the other 6 days of the month are different, I “think” I am nice and happy and lovable, but I have been told that might not be the case.  

Because my sweet husband loves me, he has been willing to share some insight about my cycle and what he sees from his perspective.  I am sure this was hard to talk about and believe me friends, I didn’t make it any easier on him!  Lol

He said he could see the anger burning in my eyes…. I was like, “you got it!” But then I took a minute and thought about it.  The truth was, I was angry.  I was pissed at the whole world.  I was ready to smash things…. This was not good and it was really not good that it was noticeable…. 

I did what I do, I asked what his suggestions were and then I did my own research.  He suggested that I use more Progessense Plus, it has been a saving grace in our home and is the reason for our Joseph.  But when I use more than my two drops a day, I get a headache.  That tells me that I don’t need anymore.  

As I was searching the Essential Oils Deck Reference I found clary sage.  I knew I had a bottle, I used it during my birth with Joseph and to boost my milk supply while I was nursing.  If you are nursing and want to boost your supply, add clary sage to your night time routine.  Just use it on your wrist, you will wake up leaking.  That is another story.

I added a few drops of clary sage to my morning routine and went about my business.  Y’all I could tell a difference within the hour.  My fuse was longer than it had been in years.  I was able to manage my family without wanted to squish them to pieces.  

I continued this and added a night time dose, just 2 drops on my wrist.  

The next month my period lasted 3 days.  3 days you guys.  It was pain free.  It was symptom free.  It was the best period of my life.  

Oh and I got amazing feedback from my husband, he was willing to call me “Happy Mama” all month long.  

And you know what friends, I still have super easy periods.  I still feel happy all month long.  I still use my clary sage daily.  

My daily hormone routine:  

Morning- 2 drops Progessence Plus and 2 drops of clary sage on wrist

Evening- 2 drops of clary sage
