Merry Christmas

From my family to you and yours...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

modified raindrop for my 4 yr old

my daughter had been suffering from a runny nose all day,,, so afer blowing and her nose hurting.... i went to my oil drawer and searched for what we had on hand that is used in the raindrop... her runny nose slowed down and by the next day was almost gone!

homemade pain cream

pull out a metal or glass bowl and fill a small sauce pan about 1/2way with water... heat on med low... put all ingredients except essential oils in bowl and place over water filled sauce pan.  melt no need to stir... remove from heat. add essentail oils, stir, let cool.... for this the freezer works great.... but if you used a glass bowl let it cool at room temp for awhile, once solid remove from freezer....let sit on counter 5-10 mins to knock the chill off of the bowl. ..or it will re harden/ refrezze as you are whipping. .. use a hand mixer and whip starting at 2 or med low then increase to 5 or high... then bottle as you would like:-) once i pull out my cricut i will post a new pic of my labeled jar... but for now paper tape and pen will do:-)

we use this for achy back, sore necks, achy /tired feet, bumps and bruises, after exercising..

homemade lipbalm

I love to make everything.....and well December is chapped lip mania time here! now... how did i figure out how much i needed... well i filled all 6 of the containers with water. then emptied that water into a glass measuring cup... then i  used my tablespoon measure to remove the water... then when there was less then a tablespoon left i used my teaspoon measure... it worked out great. .. but next batch will use vitamin e instead of honey....as getting it equally in each pot was hard....it did not melt into the oilsand butters.

so put all ingredients exceot essential oils into a bowl over pot of water. ..over med low heat.... melt then remove from heat. add in essential oils and mix. pour desired amount into containers....... let cool at room temp....



the lip balm container were purchased from abundenthealth4u.com

now if you are into colors you can add mineral powders but thats another post:-)

traveling with essential oils part 2

the day started off early! but it still was 5 hours before we got in the car to leave:(
once we we load up i had to grab the valor! my daughter said... mama why essential oils? i said... because mama is already getting stressed.
after we stopped for our first meal, hubby started yawning..... i grabbed lemon and peppermint.. 2 drops of each and rubbed on the back of his neck! energized he did not yawn again the rest of the day....
i on the other hand needed stress away half way though. Vittoria needed di-gize for belly woes.... well at 4 a biscut, a pancake, 2 chicken strips, 4 strawberries, and ketchup mixed in made for a full crazy post meal belly!
as we are aproaching our destination... a mear 10 hours since we left home. i am planing my arival oil spread... panaway, valor, and well will let you know:-)

how young living essential oils have changed my life

I was introduced to yleo by my friend Aly. I did not have it in my budget in june 2013 to buy the starter kit. So i started with Peace and calming. I was in need of sleep! My 4 1/2 yr old daughter has co-slept with us from birth. She took hours to go to sleep at night! crying fits, screaming,it was a mess! My husband traveled 3 weeks out of the month! I was at my wits end! the first night i used 2 drops of peace and calming and 2 drops of extra virgin olive oil.    With in 10 minutes she was asleep!!!! yes asleep. i almost tapped her to make sure she was okay! 

this continued for 2 weeks. so once young living came out with the new kit July 15 with the diffuser and the stress away..... i went all in!

on a daily basis i started using the lemon and peppermint for energy and to detox.
the lavender lemon and peppermint for allergies
the thieves to keep us germ free at the park and grocey store
the purification on bug bites
the panaway on well all of my body aches from keeping up with my 4yr old!
the valor all day long... you know mamma stress....
the frankincense on my skin
the lavender on cuts and scrapes along with purification
the purification in the wash for smelly clothes
the thieves and lemon to make a spray cleanser
the peppermint for headaches
the lemon in my water
needless to say... i started running out and  placed my first essential rewards order on July 28,2013.

here i am august 30,2013.... peace and calming ordered, kit ordered, first essentail rewards order, second essentail rewards order August 15,2013...i now have 26 different oils and have NOT had to use any over the counter medicines of any kind!! i have not had to buy any commercial brand toxic chemical cleansers!
I am now in control of my families health and wellness like never before! 

with the guidence of my doctor I am also getting off of my depression meds! This is huge for me. I am happy and able to get done what i need to on a daily basis!

Also the overall effects of the oils i use daily has helped me to curb my OCD tendiences. I no longer have to have the new things, the last one on the shelf, the infomercial product. i can walk in the store get what i need and not purchase extras! saving my family money!:-)

so when i say "Young Living Essential Oils have changed my life" you can see that it has on a daily basis and in drastic ways!  you can see that it is factual!!

Oils on the road!

Heading to visit family and taking my oil stash with me! Yes every oil I have! I used the left over piece of foam I cut to make my drawer liner. And I am using my daughters purple glitter caboodles container.

I am most worried about being out of lavender!!! I have suffered from indoor and outdoor allergies my entire life....so traveling back to my home town .....which happens to STILL have mold invested vacant houses this 8 year anniversary of hurricane Katrina... just marked me nervous! Mold and I go WAY back!!!

So I will see how far the lemon peppermint duo get me without the trio lavender:( 

i keep my peace and calming by the bed side in a roller bottle

i purchased the roller bottle and the glass dropper bottle from www.abundanthealth4u.com

The reason I became a Young Living essential oil distributor

My life was changed so drastically from the night I first tried peace and calming. Then when my starter kit came in my life went into complete detox! If I were to list every thing I have used the oils for in the past month I would be here for another month!!  I want to share this with the world! Everyone should have the best natural way to take care of ailments, my family uses Young Living essential oils. When I hear from someone who has had their kit for a week it is amazing!!! I love to hear the changes in their lives!!!
And what they are overcoming!
