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?

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!

Be Active, Be Smart

It is summer time and with summer time comes heat. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do for yourself! It gets really hot outside were we live so I can’t even imagine what it is like in other places.

Today I went out to mow the back yard. I drank water prior to going out and I drank water during the mowing part. I also wasn’t very smart and didn’t pick a very good time in the day to mow the lawn. You know when it is 90 degrees out and you decide noon is the best time of the day to mow the lawn.

Well even with all of my hydration I still had some issues when I was done. I had to come in and cool off with an ice pack, water, fan and some YL Peppermint EO.

I did get a great workout in today. Our yard did get finished with my part of the mowing today.

Next time though I will be smart do it either early in the morning or later at night!

If you are going to stay active this summer and it is going to be outdoors – be smart and get your hydration in before you go outside, hydrate while you are outside and don’t wait until you are feeling like you have heat stroke to take care of yourself. At that point it is to late!

Happy 5th Birthday Jack David

When your youngest baby hits a milestone it is bittersweet.

Each birthday is bittersweet.

My baby, my last little man, my sunshine on a rainy day, my cuddler, my helper, my  last little one.

Today as I looked at him and wanted to cry, I decided I needed to pick Joy instead of mourning.

Amazing how when I open my Bible how God spoke to me this morning! The oil of Joy instead of mourning!

Do not look at Jackie and be sad, choose Joy!

Happy Birthday baby Boy! Mama loves you and five sure does look good on you!
