cleaning air with Thieves

Hello everyone!

Yes, I know it's been awhile. Sorry about that! :) I really want to not only share about what oils can do for you but what they have done for me. I've been trying to use my oils a lot lately, and try ones that I don't normally use. I love my oils, but I have my favorites and it's hard for me to try ones that don't smell as good as my favorites. But, I'm working on it!

So, this week has been crazy! My landlords, who I do not really care for, were over a lot. They were installing a new stove and fixing our kitchen faucet. They really were unkind, and they just made me mad. I kept trying to just not be home when they were going to be there because I didn't want to talk or see them. It also was frustrating because they were making my house dirty. I have an almost 4 month old, and I'm a first time mom. I'm still trying to figure mommy life out, especially being a stay at home mom. It's different. One thing I don't like doing is house work. But, it needs to be done, some days I'm more motivated than others. Well, these people kept coming into my house and walking all through it with their dirty hands and dirty boots. All I could think of was how dirty they were, and how dirty they were making my house! (oh and how mean they were) Anyways, when they were finally almost done one day, I decided to start my diffuser! All I smelled was them! So, I put on my amazing Thieves essential blend! It was already smelling better in the house the moment I started it! I also felt better about them making my house dirty because of how Thieves is used for cleaning! I know that I would have to clean too, but I felt like the oils were helping clean the air around me!

Another experience with Thieves essential blend was today! We went to church, and it's a small church that we attended, it's the one my mom attends. Someone there was sick and I mean, it was bad. Lately, I've been really paranoid about Charley getting sick! She's so young, and I just know it's not going to be fun when she eventually gets sick. I'm dreading it! As soon as I got home, I put in Thieves! I want it to kill anything that might be starting to grow, like germs! I haven't been sick for a long time, and she has never been sick! I would like to keep it that way! These oils helped me not get sick while I was pregnant with her, and I was around a lot of sick people at one point, even strep! Have I said that I love my oils? :) Eventually, I'm going to buy more Thieves products because I love it, and I know it helps! I try not to use Thieves essential blend all the time because I have a little bottle of it, and I need to order more! But, in cases like these, I won't hesitate! 

I'm going to try some more of my oils that I don't use often tomorrow! I'll keep you posted! Don't forget that Thieves comes in the Premium Starter Kit! It's on sale till the end of the month! Don't miss out on this great deal! Let these oils change your daily life! You will love them just as much as I do! Oh and I just placed my order for more oils that I've never had, tried, or smelled before and I can't wait for them to get here!

Get rid of your stress!

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a little while since I've posted, but I needed a little break! :)

So, I was talking with my mom today, and she was stressed out. During out conversation, she asked me what oil to use to help her. I loved hearing her say that! It got me all excited because I feel like she's now starting to really use them in everyday life! She just got her Premium Starter Kit last month. It takes a little while to start using it to where you actually think about it during the day, after awhile it becomes second nature! So, she was listing the oils that she had, and I noticed that she forgot one. Stress Away comes in the kit, but it's not right next to the other 10 oils that come in the kit. I told her that she needed to open the box and look around because there is another oil that would be perfect for her. She found it, and she put it in her diffuser! Later that day, she got a lot accomplished, and she felt so much better!

Stress is a more dangerous risk factor for cancer and heart disease than smoking or high cholesterol foods. Stress away can induce relaxation, reduce nervous tension, reduce anxiety, uplift mood, and restore mental balance.

The oils that are in Stress Away are:

- Copaiba, which is usually used for muscled aches and pains, stiffness, and nervous exhaustion.

- Lime, which can help someone overcome exhaustion, depression, and listlessness.

- Cedarwood, which is calming and may help eliminate nervous tension.

- Ocotea, which can help with emotional balance.

- Lavender is relaxing and promotes health and a general sense of well-being.

- (vanilla is another ingredient that is contained in this blend)

Like I said above, this oil comes in the Premium Starter Kit and so does a diffuser! Don't miss out of the sale that is going on for this kit, for new buyers you get $10 off! Please let me know if you have any questions or would be interested in buying anything! If you want to know if there is an oil to help you with something, just ask and I will let you know! Most likely, there is!! :) These oils are 100% pure and therapeutic grade! They will change your life!

digestive problems?

Hello everyone!

I know in my first blog, I mentioned that I used DiGize for my morning sickness and it helped, but I don't think you realize how much I used it. I started experiencing morning sickness at the start of 6 weeks. Sometime after, I started rubbing DiGize around my belly button. I became obsessed! It was like instant relief. I didn't go anywhere without it! I loved it! I would rub it on right before work started and during work.  I would experience it the worst right after my shower in the mornings before work. I don't know why I didn't think about putting it on at home till my husband reminded me. I used it all the time. During that time, I didn't have any other oils, and I didn't have a diffuser yet.  When I experienced how well they worked, I wanted more oils and a diffuser.

I was at work one day, and I couldn't take my purse with me because it required a lot of walking around and had no where to put it. So, I had to leave my oil in the car. I had to go on a break and run to my car to get it! I felt awful! After I put it on, I was all better! :) Gotta love my oils!I'm excited to use so many more oils the next time I'm pregnant and go into labor!

DiGize is a blend that can be useful for improving digestive function. The single oils that are in this blend is:

- Tarragon

- Ginger

- Peppermint

- Juniper

- Fennel

- Lemongrass

- Anise

- Patchouli

The oils in this blend have been found to be beneficial in digesting toxic material and for alleviating indigestion, stomach cramps, upset stomach, belching, bloating, and heartburn. Also, placing a drop of this blend behind the ear may help with morning sickness.

Application: may be applied to the Vita Flex Points on the feet and ankles. It may also be applied topically over the stomach, as a compress on the abdomen, on other Vita Flex Points on the body, and at the bottom of the throat to help with gagging. You can also use it on your animals to get rid of parasites!

Don't forget that this oil comes in the premium starter kit that is on sale for a limited time! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I'd love to help you in any way I can!

multiple uses…oregano

Hello everyone!

Back in February, my brother got married, and my whole family that could make it, stayed in a huge home that we rented. It was pretty crazy! It was very noisy if any of you know my family, that is to be expected! :) There were five little kids, and many adults. I was also pregnant at the time. No one could afford to get sick, well my mom felt like she was getting sick. She was so upset because then she wouldn't be able to love on her grandchildren from out of state. So, what did I do? Yes, I brought oils for her to use. Some of my family couldn't handle some of the smells, so I just had the diffuser on in her room at night. I put oregano in it. It was really funny because it would be on for over 5 hours every night. If anyone opened the door to the room at any time of the day, it was like oregano hit you in the face. The smell was so strong and lingered in the room all day and all night. I also put a lot of drops in the diffuser, way more than I put in my diffusers now. I think I put like 12 drops! Very powerful!

The sickness never got worse, and she just kept getting better! It was awesome! Oregano isn't just for food, it helps with many things! This oil may help colds, digestion problems, and metabolism balance.

Application: Apply to Vita Flex Points and/or directly on area of concern and diffuse.

Oral Use as Dietary Supplement: Dilute one drop oil in 1 tsp. honey or in 4 oz. of beverage.

If you have any questions please let me know! I'd love to help you start using essential oils in your everyday life! It really is fun! Don't forget that the Premium Starter Kits are on sale till the end of the month! Don't miss out on the deal!

Oily Babies

Hello everyone!
So, I love using oils on my daughter! Even though she's only three months old, in the past several months, I've seen them really help her! I mostly just put them on her right before she goes to bed. I always use a carrier oil, coconut oil, because I don't want any of them to be to much for her sensitive skin, except for the oils that are actually made for kids, those are already diluted. There are many different oils that I use for her, and it just depends on if she's fussy, gassy, sleepy, etc. as to what we put on her at night. So here is what I use.

I personally do not like just cedarwood by itself in the diffuser, it's too much for me. It's pretty strong, so I was glad that when we put Charley in her own room, I was able to put it in the diffuser by itself to run at night. Cedarwood is commonly used for its calming effect. It has many other uses and properties, but I use it to help her sleep at night. So, I put some coconut oil on my finger tips and then put one drop of cedarwood on top, and then rub my fingers together, and then I rub it up and down her spine and on the bottoms of her feet. I also will but about 4-5 drops of cedarwood in the diffuser and have it running intermittently all night.

I love lavender! It just smells so good, and it has so many uses! I guess that's why I'm always running out of it! :) So when she was first born, I used lavender to rub on her and put it in the diffuser, then I was running low on the oil. So, I had to mix it up and start using some of my other oils. Lavender is calming, relaxing, and again it just smells so good!

Another favorite is Peace & Calming. When I first bought my Premium Starter Kit, this was the first oil that I diffused, and basically the only oil until I learned more about the other ones. It is so popular that they can't seem to keep it in stock. So, Young Living created another blend just like it called, Peace & Calming II. It's not as good as the regular one, but it still is good! So, I would also rub this on her and put it in the diffuser. I'm just giving you all that I have used and what I like to put on her. Ever since my daughter was born, she has slept pretty well, but I feel that the oils have really helped! She started sleeping about 4-5 hours straight every night, and just kept increasing from that. She now sleeps 7-9 hours straight and then an additional 2.5-3.5 hours after a feeding. We don't ever go without putting her oils on at night, it is part of her nightly routine! I assume you know what Peace & Calming helps you do! :)

So, Young Living came out with some oils that are for kids, they are already diluted with a carrier oil, and I really love them!

GeneYus is to help them focus and concentrate.

Owie is to help the improvement of their skin, like if they get an owie.

SleepyIze, you can diffuse to help promote a peaceful aromatic environment.

SniffleEase is to help rejuvenate and refresh.

TummyGize, you apply to their little belly to help calm them.

BiteBuster is not being sold at this time…

My favorites are the SleepyIze and the TummyGize. I loved smelling the SleepyIze at night in our diffuser when she was in her bassinet in our room, I guess I didn't realize how much I used because I used up the bottle so fast, and sadly that is the one that went out of stock too. I keep looking and waiting for it to be available again! I love it! I have used TummyGize when I notice that she is crying because she has really bad gas and her tummy hurts. I will either rub it on her tummy and the bottom of her feet or just her feet. I have seen it work really fast! I love it! It really helps when you have a fussy kid and there really is nothing you can do to really help them. I have bought SniffleEase, but she hasn't needed it yet because she hasn't gotten sick. 

So, these are all the oils that I use on my three month old daughter right now, but I will start using more when I get them. I am buying some to help her with teething, and I will post another blog about how those help her! I do like to blend oils in the diffuser so that I'm not just using one oil because then I will run out of that oil faster. I like to blend one or two drops of each of these oils in the diffuser to diffuse at night: Peace & Calming, Lavender, and Cedarwood!

Let me know if you are interested in any of these oils! They are amazing! I really encourage anyone to use oils on their kids, you don't want to just always give them medications when they are sick and stuff. Please don't hesitate to contact me! I love my oils!
