I am overjoyed to share my first post of this new series: BOSS BABES!
Every month I will be highlighting + featuring a new boss babe. It is my intention that sharing and celebrating women + their stories will not only motivate you but uplift and empower you as well. After all, we’re all in this together.
Meet Sara.
Just a little intro for you here! My name is Sara Clarke and I live in Stratford, Ontario. I am a mama to a sweet little girl and wife to my amazing husband. I have two fur babies Rocky and Cooper – big animal lover over here!! I have worked in retail for over 15 years and decided I wanted to be a boss babe – make my own money, schedule and most importantly have more time to spend with my family.
I had never used essential oils before and was introduced to Young Living when I was pregnant with my daughter about 2 years ago. I was very anxious about childbirth and my Doula suggested I try Lavender in the diffuser. I couldn’t believe how much it helped me! My anxiety lessened and my sleep improved. I love having a natural alternative that I can feel confident about. I use EO’s in the diffuser and topically every.single.day.
Sara Clarke Designs was created because I wanted simple and modern aromatherapy jewelry to wear with my essential oils. Nothing on the market really appealed to me so I decide to create my own! I got really into crystals and their healing energies which lead me to create my aromatherapy jewelry line to coincide with my EO business. It has taken off like crazy – which is amazing!
I am a hustling mama who has been able to go from full-time to part-time doing this business and I feel truly blessed! I am so thankful I was introduced to the oily life and what it has brought me.
Nice to meet you all and thanks to Holly for having me here. XO

Oh! And I asked Sara FIVE questions–read on to know more about this fierce boss babe.
Generally my sweet babe wakes up around 7:30 so I get her changed, feed her breakfast and take her to daycare for 8am. Then once she is taken care of I sit down and have a COFFEE… yes, my day cannot start without coffee. I love it – the smell to me is just what ‘morning’ smells like. I sit down at my computer and generally post to my social media accounts in the morning before I start my day because that is when I have the most ‘free’ time. Then after that – I get ready for the day. Makeup, hair, then get dressed. My ‘get ready’ routine normally takes about 15 minutes – I have learned to ‘work quick’ since having a baby – It’s amazing what you can do in 15 minutes!
Live life to the fullest. Don’t worry about what other people think. Do what you love – like really love and believe in yourself. Think about your future and what you want out of life – then work hard to get there. We are always changing and morphing through different stages of our life – never the same person we used to be. Embrace that and run with it.
It’s hard to pick just one – I would normally pick yoga but I have to say that if I am in a funk, music is what speaks to my soul. There is something about it that can just totally transform my entire mood and I can’t explain it. Lyrics or no lyrics the melody can work with my emotions, picking me up or mellowing me out.
This is a quote I remind myself of often:
“Stop worrying about all the things that don’t really matter. If it won’t matter a year from now, breathe and let it go.” – Unknown
If I were a LipSense colour I would definitely be Fleur De Lisa! There is something about it that’s feminine, confident, sassy and fun. Who doesn’t want to feel those things?! Hot pink lips are my go to when wearing lipstick – whether it’s a special event, girls night out or just because.
I want to give a HUGE hug + thank you to Sara for sharing a little bit about herself and her story—feel free to follow her on her social media channels (check them or below!) + don’t forget to join my FB group for a chance to learn more about Essential Oils AND earn a chance to win aromatherapy jewelry!
