I have a confession to make: I am usually a total waffle addict. I know what you're thinking now - why would I trust a waffle addict to give me a pancake recipe?

Latest Obsession: Essential Oils

I need to tell you guys about my latest obsession - essential oils. Whether it's diffusing them or rubbing them all over my body, I am sold on these babies. I know, I know - I am totally late to the essential oil party but it was worth the wait.
