Back in my early days of learning my oils, I would often see people say how they took their oils everywhere. Or they were out and about and something happened so they grabbed their frankincense from their bag. I would read or hear these things, and be so confused. Why were people taking their oils with them? How did they know what to take? Did they have a magic ball saying what they would need for the day?
And yet here I am, two years later, and constantly toting my oils around, or whipping out that bottle of frankincense. It is second nature now to constantly have oils within easy reach, and to be honest, I sometimes forget what it’s like to be that eager but confused newbie. Over on instagram, I have a little series called #mybarefootbag, where every now and then I share what’s in my bag – both oily and not – to show how and why I pack the things I do. I also love a good bag sneaky peek, to see how other people organise their bits and bobs, and finding out more about them as a person based on what’s in their bag.
