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…

Premium Starter Kit Sale

I can't remember the last time Young Living did a Premium Starter Kit Sale.  This thrills me to no end.  There has been no single change greater in our home (besides the addition of more kids) over the last nearly three years, than the blessing that essential oils have been in our life.  We experience year round health, we have non-toxic products in our home from our boo-boo rollerball to our in-the-sun lotion to my outdoor annoyance spray to our fluoride-free toothpaste and all of the countless products in my home that are now FREE from SLS, sulfates, parabens, SLES, synthetic fragrance, aluminum, petroleum and the list goes on!  We love having safe, natural options for every single area of our family life.  And to think it all started with this little kit that can be used from everything from occasional anxiety to…

Choosing an Essential Oil Company

There are so many companies that are marketing essential oils.  How did I go about choosing an essential oil company? In fact, over the years I have used essential oils from a variety of places without much success.  Now, I understand why. Most stores and companies actually sell adulterated oils. (An adulterated oil means that the essential oil is not pure, because it is mixed with synthetic oils and/or alcohol which destroys the therapeutic properties of the essential oil.)  Adulterated oils are created cheaply, which is why you can buy them for such a cheap price. (You pay for what you get! ;)) These oils, while they may smell good, generally have no therapeutic efficacy and can even be harmful. I choose to use Young Living essential oil, exclusively. Here are the the top reasons I love Young Living essential oils.…

Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense Essential Oil is one of my must have oils that I use every day!  For many years, I used to read the word Frankincense in the Bible and have no tangible understanding of what this was or why in the world someone would bring it as a gift to another, especially to baby Jesus.  "....And when they had opened their treasures they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and Frankincense and myrrh." (Matthew 2:10).. It's so amazing to read about Frankincense is extracted from the Boswellia tree and the tree must be 40 years old before even one drop of oil can be extracted.  In Biblical times 40 years was considered to be a generation.     This is such a versatile oil, I can see why historically it was more valuable then gold.  Here are just some of the ways…
