As a Young Living Brand Partner, I highly recommend using only Young Living's Vitality line of essential oils for grilling. These oils are safe for consumption and can enhance the flavors and aroma of your recipes.Before adding essential oils to your grilling recipe, it is important to dilute them with a carrier oil like olive oil. Always start with a small amount of essential oil, as they are concentrated and a little goes a long way.When preparing your recipe, choose essential oils that complement the flavors and marinate your meat with them in a glass or stainless-steel container. For example, cedarwood essential oil is perfect for grilled salmon, while lemon essential oil adds zest to chicken recipes.Try out these rosemary potatoes and lemon chicken skewers recipes to get started with grilling with essential oils. And remember to use glass or stainless-steel utensils to avoid any interactions with plastic.Grilling with essential oils can add an extra layer of flavor and aroma to your recipes, making it a fun and healthy way to enhance your grilling experience. Trust only Young Living's Vitality line of essential oils for your grilling recipes and enjoy the delicious flavors in every bite!

✨ My blog exists because I know what it feels like to keep everything jumbled in your head — like a messy pile of clothes you can’t sort through.

 Writing it all down brings clarity, calm, and sometimes even healing answers I didn’t know I was looking for.


Honestly, that’s why I keep showing up to write — it helps me make sense of things. 

 Even if you have no intentions of ever publishing your work, I highly recommend writing stuff down. It doesn't have to be a literary masterpiece or even full, grammatically correct sentences... just dump those random thoughts onto paper... you'll see what I mean.

Hi! I'm AJ Flanagan.

 
Hi! I'm AJ Flanagan.
I'm endlessly curious about what helps people live healthier, happier, and more intentional lives.

Over the years I've explored everything from cleaner living and better nutrition to habits, grief, stress, relationships, history, and the everyday choices that shape how we live. I'm not interested in chasing perfection or the latest trends. I'm interested in finding what actually works in real life.

Walking alongside my husband, Eric, through two cancer diagnoses changed the way I thought about health, home, and what truly matters. After his passing, that curiosity didn't end—it grew.

Today I write about healthier living, personal growth, and the lessons I'm learning along the way, always hoping something I share helps someone else.

My hope is that this space feels less like a classroom and more like a conversation over coffee—where curiosity replaces pressure, progress matters more than perfection, and together we discover what actually works.

I'm glad you're here and if that sounds like the kind of conversation you'd enjoy, I hope you'll stick around.
