Six Months Of Changes

It hasn’t been 6 months yet. Technically speaking six months will happen tomorrow on the 13th. Yet this morning when I got up and weight myself I hit another milestone for me.

It has been six months of changes for me and my family. It has been six months of finding a new normal. It has been six months of working towards getting my life back.

I saw my doctor today and I think she was pretty happy with my progress. I know that I am happy with the progress and changes.

Are you ready to start making changes in your life yet? I know I wasn’t really ready but I knew it was time.

Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint is another one of the oils that comes in the Premium Starter Kit from Young Living. Peppermint was one of the very first essential oils we tried in our home. Peppermint since then has never been gone from our home.

We use it for so many things. Pulling heat out of the body, making some mint tea, making some mint chocolate hot cocoa, making some chocolate mint coffee, muscle relaxation, support for the sinus and so much more. Oh and I have to share one of my favorites: double chocolate mint brownies: gluten free!

Young Living has two kinds of peppermint essential oils! There is the vitality in the white label and that is a dietary version. Then there is the green label and that one is for topical and aromatic use.

Peppermint Vitality essential oil (Mentha piperita) has a bright, cool flavor, with benefits that include gastrointestinal comfort and normal digestion support, in addition to its great taste.* Store Young Living’s Peppermint Vitality oil in your pantry as a flavoring agent or a dietary supplement.

Peppermint Vitality™, part of our Vitality line for culinary and dietary use, is a versatile oil with a well-loved flavor. As a dietary supplement, Peppermint Vitality oil can support healthy gut function and digestive efficiency.* These benefits make it a great way to start your day or end a meal. Additionally, Peppermint Vitality oil as a dietary supplement may support exercise performance to help you have a great workout.

Because of its great taste, it’s easy to add this versatile oil to your tea or experiment with it in your baking.

Peppermint Vitality is an important ingredient in Young Living’s DiGize™ Vitality.

Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil Uses:

• Add to your daily dietary supplements as overall support for healthy digestive system comfort.* Simply add 1–2 drops in a vegetarian gel capsule and take daily or as needed.
• Include a drop in a tall glass of cool water for a refreshing start to your morning.
• Blend with your pre-workout drink for an energizing start or wind down after your workout with a mint-infused chocolate or vanilla protein shake.
• Use in baking and in a wide variety of desserts.

[Recommendations from the Young Living site]

 

Fresh, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable, Peppermint essential oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of peace. Used topically, Peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favorite for sports massage and an important part of Young Living’s Raindrop Technique®.

When your day is dragging—through a workout, class, or day at work—enjoy some Peppermint oil benefits by applying it to your head and neck. The refreshing aroma will give you a boost of positivity! Peppermint is also a great option for diffusing on its own or with compatible scents such as Lavender, Rosemary, Spearmint, or Sage!

Peppermint is a key ingredient in PanAway®, AromaEase®, Aroma Siez™, Relieve It™, and Deep Relief™ Roll-On essential oil blends.

Peppermint uses:

• After a tough workout, dilute a few drops of Peppermint in V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, and use it in a refreshing post-workout massage.
• Create your own home spa! Add Peppermint and Eucalyptus Radiata to hot bath water and enjoy the relaxing, invigorating scent and aromatic steam.
• Peppermint is in the same family as both Lavender and Rosemary. Diffuse the oils of these powerful botanicals together for a fresh aroma that uplifts the spirit.

Young Living PSK Cost Per Drop

I like to know exactly what things cost. For some things it really does help to break down the costs so it doesn’t seem like I am spending as much on an item! I know when I was first looking at becoming a wholesale member with Young Living I was overwhelmed by the costs of some of the essential oils.

In the past I have broken down the costs for the Everyday Oil Collection that is offered by Young Living, but that isn’t what you receive anymore when you order your Premium Starter Kit from them. You still get an amazing value when you purchase a PSK but it isn’t the same collection as before.

I took some time to break down the cost per drop (or price per drop) for the essential oils you get with the PSK Kit!

Since I have just started going through the Premium Starter Kit essential oils, what they can be used for, and a bit of education I thought it might be a really good time to get the breakdown out there.

When you look at the cost per drop (remember each bottle is a 5ml bottle in your PSK), you see what the true cost is. As you learn about different essential oils, as you break the costs down, you will see that the cost to help support you and your family isn’t that big after all.

We have removed the toxic chemicals out of our household. As a family we felt they were doing us more harm than good. One of the things we haven’t used here since 2013 is pain reliever. The Premium Starter Kit has in it what we now use for those types of things. When I go and look at the cost per item for pain reliever it is about the same price as peppermint essential oil (depends upon if you get name brand or store brand but didn’t see much difference with cost +/- $0.02). The best thing though is when I am using the peppermint I am not putting toxic chemicals in my body. I am not causing myself to have rebound pain, I am not risking damaging the liver or the kidneys and I am not worried that they have put something extra in that is later going to be found to need to be recalled.

I feel good about the direction our family is going in. I feel good and am confident in what Young Living has done for our family. I am also always excited to help share what knowledge I have gained.

When you take the time to look at the cost per drop and compare it to what you would have used instead, most of the time you will find that you are spending the same amount if not less per drop.

Are you ready to get the toxic chemicals out of your home? How can I help you make the change?

Lets Learn About: YL Lemon EO

Here is a little bit of education. I was told one of the best ways to learn about a specific oil is to study it for a week and by the end of a year you will have taken the time to learn about 52 essential oils in depth.

What a great idea. While this post is not completely in depth it will give you some general knowledge that you can expand upon if you choose to!

Please keep in mind that in the post I am talking about Young Living Essential Oil. I am not talking about any other brand that may be out there! I only trust one EO company and that is whom this post is about!

Lemon can be diffused, directly inhaled and applied topically. Some of the things we use it for around our home would be:

1. Diffusing when the dogs come in wet. Get that YL Lemon EO going so that I don’t have to smell wet dog.
2. Use to polish jewelry with a soft cloth.
3. Use it to get sticker residue off.
4. Add it to Young Living Household Cleaner for a more prominent lemon smell
5. Add to a load of laundry to help brighten up your white clothes.

Lemon Vitality can also be used as a dietary supplement. Some of the things we use it for around our home would be:

1. Adding a drop or two to our glass (only use EO’s in glass) water bottle.
2. Use it when you are cooking! Poultry is a favorite of mine. Also I make a killer cheesecake with Lemon Vitality! Amazing!
3. Put a drop or two into a capsule and take up to three times a day.
4. Make our own teas with it instead of using a tea bag.
5. I have been adding it to my Greek Yogurt. Oh my gosh talking about goodness! Plain yogurt you can do so much with but when you add a drop of YL Lemon EO to it – heaven!

What are your favorite uses for lemon essential oil? I am always in awe when I learn something new about an essential oil so teach me! What do you know about lemon that I don’t!

Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Well I have used hand sanitizer for a long time now. There are a few things I am not fond of when it comes to it:

1. Some of them make your hands really dry; actually I haven’t found one that hasn’t dried my hands out
2. Some of them make your hands feel really sticky or tacky and I really hate that feeling
3. Some of them don’t do what they should be doing

So when we started to use Young Living and then started to get on other sites I was seeing all these recipes for homemade. We have tried a few of them but still a lot of them still used alcohol in them!

What is the point people? It isn’t saving you money to make your own that dries your hands out because then you are still investing in lotion to hydrate your hands! Pish Posh

So we have since been doing four different variations but basically it is the same. These are a gel and would be something you would squirt out of a bottle. We have another one that is more like a spray, but we will save that for another day. Both do what I would like it to do and both do not dry my hands or anyone else in the family.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 1

1 Cup Aloe Vera Gel
1 Tablespoon Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
30 Drops Thieves Essential Oil

Mix well and store in glass jar. Put in 2 oz. squeeze
tube/bottle as needed.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 2

2 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
1/8 Teaspoon Vitamin E Oil
10 Drops Thieves Essential Oil
5 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
1 Tablespoon Water

Mix all ingredients but water in a 2 oz. tube/bottle.
At end add the water and shake again.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 3

3 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
1/2 Tablespoon Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Vitamin E Oil
16 Drops Thieves Essential Oil
8 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
8 Drops Citrus Essential Oil (any kind)

Mix everything together in a bowl and then add to a small jar or a 2 oz.
squeeze tube/bottle.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 4

This is a do not measure running out the door option when I find I have run
out and am in need of something quickly:
Pure Aloe Vera Gel
Vitamin E Oil
Thieves Essential Oil
Water

Take 2 oz. squeeze tube/bottle. Fill about 2/3rds of the way with Aloe Vera Gel.
Next add Vitamin E Oil. Put in about 15 drops Thieves Essential Oil. Top off
with water. Shake and Go!

Do you have a favorite? Do you use different essential oils? Have you ever made a homemade hand sanitizer? If not what is stopping you?

Soccer In The Sand – Grand Haven – 2016

What a weekend! We had sun, fun, family, friends, sand, soccer, water and exercise!

Bella was on a team this year, her first year. They made it to the finals and came in second place!

We got a great workout with just walking to and from the courts from the car (If you know Grand Haven beach, the courts went from the Pier all the way down to Bill Mar restaurant). I think we went back and forth a few times to get everything to our spot in the sand. Then the same amount for trips back to the car when we were done.

It was hot out. The sun was relentless. The kids played in the water in the sand. They made bonds with others on the team. For the team themselves they were exhausted and accomplished by the time the last game was over on Sunday.

The two prescription medications I take do not mix well with the sun, so I am not looking or feeling the greatest at this point.

So not only did the children have a great workout from all the walking as well they placed soccer in the sand!

Now I know some people run on the beach, walk on the beach and it is a great workout! Maybe picking running back up and doing it on the beach would be a great option. Soft sand, great workout, automatically cooled off by the waves, and peace and calming from God’s glorious world around me!

What did you do this weekend? Did you have fun outside? Did you get a workout or two in? Did you relax and just have a peaceful time with family and friend? Did you get to have some alone time? No matter what you got to do, I pray that it was a wonderful time for you!

Want to see the girls in action? Here is a video that you can go and watch the U8 Sand Angels play soccer in the sand! I would like to say that Bella was exhausted by the time the last game got there! I am beyond thankful that we started Juice Plus about 4 months ago now! She has so much more energy, I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if she had been without the Juice Plus! I might of had to put her on my back and play the game for her! Plus thank the good Lord that we had Ortho Ease and Ortho Sport to put on her legs before she went to bed on Saturday night and again before we took off on Sunday. There is nothing like natural help that was put here by God! We were able to use non-toxic chemicals to help rejuvenate and rebuild her body (and mine).

Animals and Essential Oils

I would like to say that I am a believe in essential oils. Not only do I use Young Living on our furless family, I use them on my furry family.

It has been very helpful for out animals. Especially during firework season. Being able to help calm them is something I think we all appreciate! Especially our fearful pups and kitten.

Here is a great video to show how they can be utilized:

Home Remedies:Essential Oils In Dogs-Dr. Tom Pfafman at the Integrative Vet Med Center

Now Dr. Tom Pfafman isn’t near me but I wish he was! I hope you find something interesting and useful!

One thing I do want to say is that the reporter said you can get these EO’s in a store or online. No you can not buy Young Living in a store – Young Living is a company that you can only (should only) purchase from the Young Living website. You sign up either as retail  customer or wholesale member!
