Fall Wellness

Every year I feel like Fall just sneaks up on me. I'm coasting along, enjoying my summer and loving the sun and then bam, kids are back in school, the days are shorter, and full-time seasonal holiday promotion has happened at every store. As life around me gains momentum in football season, Halloween decor, and midterm exams, we use this time to build momentum in the way we take care of our bodies. I want my family to not triumph during this season with true Fall Wellness. It becomes easy to do this when our bodies are using the right supplements. (Read about the essential oils we use in the post here.) If you grew up like I did, it may seem overwhelming that we need so many more supplements to stay healthy then the days of the last century. While there are many factors…

New Product Reveal

It's hard to sum up in a paragraph or even a whole blog post my thoughts and emotions surrounding Young Living's 2016 Convention and the New Product Reveal.  I learned so much....from the chemistry of essential oils and why they work to how to use them for my pets, kids, emotional life, the guys in my life, etc. to all kinds of fun tips, tricks and recipes. My mind is still reeling and completely on overload.  But, while I am processing all the education I wanted to share all the new goodies that were announced. Here is my video as I unboxed the entire collection of every. single. new. product. Since I am a high "I" on the disc personality, or what other Young Living people affectionately refer to as a "blue" I may or may not have missed a few product…

My Favorite Outdoor Annoyance Spray

As I jumped into the world of essential oils, one of the first things I learned was that whatever is put on your skin (shampoo, lip gloss, lotion, bug spray, etc.) is absorbed by your very porous skin and absorbed in to your bloodstream within seconds. One thing I started looking into was some of the outdoor annoyance sprays that were premade. As I started reading through some of the various ingredients I was really concerned. So..... this summer I was NOT going to put that stuff on my babies! I wanted something completely natural, safe, and effective for my family. Using just these two essential oils (Purification and Peppermint), a little epsom salt and a 2oz glass bottle I made my own outdoor annoyance spray.   So let's first talk about natural - if you are new to essential oils,…

How to Use Essential Oils

Let's talk about how to use Essential Oils.  Essential Oils can be used in three primary ways. If you will remember from my previous post in this series, I am only talking about Young Living essential oils, which are 100% pure essential oils.  You cannot expect to get the quality or to get the same results if the essential oil is not Young Living.  Please do not use other brands of essential oils the same way you would use Young Living oils. Essential oils can be inhaled, applied topically or used in cooking, drinking, flavoring with the new Vitality Line. First, essential oils can be used via Direct Inhalation.  The human sense of smell is about ten thousand times more powerful than other senses.  When you inhale an essential oil its scent travels first through olfactory nerve cells inside the nose…
