Ooh sounds interesting. I keep a lot of essential oils for their antiseptic properties: tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus to name a few. It would be so fascinating to research the chemical properties of essential oils. There's got to be something scientific about all those natural remedies. I also have a friend who works for the EPA here in Melbourne, she also really enjoys her work, it sounds similar to yours. Good on you for looking after your health. The body can react in the strangest ways when you become stressed and lack full nutrition. You could try InLiven... many girls rave about it in here. I've taken it for a while too and for me it curbs my sugar cravings.

Yes BB can become addictive! I've got no advice for that! But I look forward to hearing of your progress. Sometimes it helps to be accountable to people (even if it's just online strangers) so that a bit of guilt comes into the equation. Hehe. Anyhow, set yourself an achievable goal and get stuck into it... now! C'mon, you can meet that chapter target!
