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.

Lets Learn About LemonWhat 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!

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!

Homemade Hand SanitizerWhat 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.

Alternative Treatment for PetsIt 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!

Reminders

Time to bare the soul here!

Since my father in law has fallen things have been a we bit crazy. I am just off at times. Missing sleep, not eating 100% correct, not getting my Bible study in each morning like I should, and short with my patience.

Not only those things but my goals get thrown off track. I have goals and it has been a long time since I have set goals for myself. So for them to get thrown off track, it is hard for me to get them back on track.

I also feel more distant from God. That right there is more important than anything. It has taken me a long time to realize, “If I am not close and next to Him and turning to Him, nothing in my life goes right and I am completely off kilter.”

This morning I was doing my Bible reading/journaling (It isn’t beautiful like so many make it, it is more writing what He is saying to me than anything else) and He reminded me that I am a part of the Trinity.

John 14: 6-17 talks about knowing Jesus and that He is the way to the Father and that if you know Him you know the Father and even though They will not be here on earth for us we have the Holy Spirit within us.

So I was doodling out a crosswords like puzzle in the Bible with Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. Then I was doodling it on my arm as a reminder for the day and He gently nudged me as a reminder that I am a part of that crossword puzzle as well. We are all joined. We are all connected. We are all a part of each other.

(I kind of had this reminder last summer as well, which makes me think I may not fully be getting it yet)

Trinity + me

Have you had any gentle reminders from Him lately? I am choosing to be positive. I am choosing to put Him first. I am choosing to make the changes I need to make with Him by my side. He never lets me down.

Simple Way To Get Steps In

One change I have been making is to get my steps in. It isn’t always great weather. We no longer have a gym membership, so this is what I have been doing.

One of the best things is when I am doing it earlier enough a lot of the times the two youngest kiddos will join me.

Now after I have done any kind of workout my body is always fighting me. I have some autoimmune issues and my body isn’t a fan. So I use these three Young Living Essential Oils to help.

After I get done I apply these to my muscles to help them feel alive, rejuvenated, relaxed and ready to go the next day!

Simple things, small things, do them for a while and they become your life style.

Are You a Slave To Your Feet?

Change is hard.

Change takes determination.

Change takes dedication.

Change is not quick.

Change that is real, takes time.

Well currently speaking, I am a slave to my feet. Being active in April has been what I am attempting to improve. Which means being on the feet more. Which means my feet have been screaming at me more. Which means it makes me want to throw in the towel and call it quits. Which means I had to find a solution to help!

Slave To FeetSo do you have your feet screaming at you by the end of the night? Do you wake up and wonder how long it is going to be before you want to cut them off? Do you wonder if it is ever going to get better?

Well it can get better! Here are some things you can try to see if they work for you!

Roller Recipe:
2 Drops Copaiba
2 Drops Lemongrass
2 Drops Majoram
2 Drops R.C.
2 Drops Wintergreen
Fill rest of 10ml roller bottle with Carrier Oil

Since I have been playing around to find what works for me I have been having much better days! I am not wanting to throw the towel in. I am making it while being Active in April! I am making it to my step goal (almost daily).

Change does take time and I am very aware of this! If I can do this and work towards getting healthy, anyone can do it!
