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!
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..
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:-)
all natural body moisturizer. makes a large batch so before adding essential oils you can seperate into smaller amounts then make for specific things,,,, like lavender and peace and calming for sleep,..... valor, peppermint and sage for that time of the month....panaway, valor and frank for sore muscle relief... lemon, orange,and lavender for an every day moisturizer:-)
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:-)
today was a very busy day... woke up. washed my face with an amazing wash(with frankincense and lemon) i will be blogging the how to later this week... had coffee with peppermint, took my morning capsule(lemon, grapefruit, and slique), hubby had headache rubbed him with peppermint, panaway, olive oil....in 5 mins he cut the grass, bbqed a pork loin, had a sore back, rubbed him with panaway neat, gave lo a bath with epsom salts and melrose, hubby was nauseous so rubbed his belly and chest with digize and peppermint in 10 mins he was eating dinner... rubbed peace and calming on vittoria, washed my face and used my coconut oil and frankincense moisturizer.... yes the Young Living essential oils can be used all day everyday! so glad i made the decision to go healthy!,,

ahhhhh, the sun rising shows the signs that its time to wake..... for my 4 year old..... it is literal!!!! We are a family of coffee drinkers...... yes my 4 year old gets "coffee" too.... but its chocolate milk;) normally coffee time takes about an hour and we are slow to start anything. ...at least until i started adding the peppermint oil from my kit.... one drop in my coffee and i am super charged! Ready to get the day going! In 3 days i have gotten so much caught up and done around the house! i love it! the taste gives me a throw back to winter, and even when it gets down to the bottom of the cup it is blended wonderfully and delicious!
