My Every Day Oils: January 2016

Lavender Love

Lavender is the first essential oil I ever purchased and used. It is such a versatile oil that has a million uses.

I love to put it on my neck, face, and chest at night because it helps me sleep better. It has great relaxing properties that literally put me for the night. It also does the same for my puppies. They LOVE to wrestle and road run through the house in the mornings which is not always conducive to my plans. If I pop some lavender in the diffuser they settle down and nap together like the sweet little angels they can (sometimes) be lol.

Speaking of the pups, I have found that by putting a drop of lavender every now and then on their colors really deters fleas from making a home in their fur.

I have also used lavender to soothe bug bites. During the summer it never fails that I attract all of the mosquitoes in the area. They itch like crazy and I am the WORST when it comes to trying to ignore the itching, but when I rubbed lavender oil on the bites the itch and redness disappeared. I also feel like the bump itself decreased in size quicker than normal.

As you can tell I love lavender and I use it in any different blends that I've created! If you have any questions about lavender or any other oils leave a comment below or visit my site! If you are interested in becoming a YL member check out their starter kits!

Vitality Line

Just a quick word! YL has come out with their new vitality line! It contains some of my favorite oils that are able to be used as dietary supplements. I like to use different citrus oils in my water because its not only good for you but also gives your water a great flavor. The vitality line comes in the 5ml bottle so its a great option if you are on a budget because they are lower priced than the regular 15ml bottles!

Please enjoy the video below to learn more!

As always if you have any questions about the vitality line or Essential Oils in general, leave a comment below or visit My Site. Interested in becoming a YL member? Learn more here!

Starter Kits

Hello! I just kind of realized while looking over my blog that I mention starter kits becoming a member A LOT and have never given a super good explanation. So, today I am going to give you a run down of exactly what you get and why its so awesome!

When you sign up to become a YL member you get whole sale prices on EVERYTHING! The company also has special promotions each month for members only where you have the opportunity to receive free products. You can enroll and choose a Starter Kit that you feel best fits your lifestyle and what you want to get out of your oils. Next they will offer you the option to join Essential Rewards.

Option 1: You can opt out of the Essential Rewards Program. I recommend opting out of the program if you are only becoming a member to benefit yourself and aren't interested in working the business side of it. By opting out you are not required to make purchases on a timeline and you have no set minimum for purchases. You can literally order what you want whenever you want and enjoy the benefit of wholesale prices.

Option 2: You can enroll in the Essential Rewards Program. I recommend doing this if you are interested in trying to make YL a business or if you know you will be making frequent orders. The reason I say this is you are required to make a monthly purchase worth at least 50 points. Points are something you collect over time when you make a purchase (Example: Lavender is $24 so you get 24 points). Your points add up over time and you use your points towards free oils.

You can end or begin the Essential Rewards Program when ever you want so if you want to hold off on it during your enrollment, you always have the option later. That is actually what I did. I am always on a budget so I just decided to become a member with joining ER. After a few weeks though of learning about the products and company I decided to enroll and its worked out well for me!

I was so excited the day my kit came in the mail (picture proof above lol). The kit is the first and ONLY required purchase when you become a member, but its an amazing thing. Basically the kit sets you up with everything you need to start integrating essential oils into your lifestyle. It includes a diffuser of your choice, 10 essential oils, a special bonus oil, 10 glass sample bottles, and some samples of other products as well. Its a great kit because it has everything you need at a WAY cheaper price than if you were to purchase everything you get separately.

I am going to make separate posts about each individual oil you get in your kit. They are the oils I would recommend to anyone just starting out with oils and that I most frequently use. These are the oils you get with your kit Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Copaiba, Frankincense, Thieves, Purification, RC, Digize, Panaway, and Stress Away.

Free Facial!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I want to RAVE about a new product I tried today! So I've said before that the YL team I am a part of has a fb group so we can keep in touch and trade essential oil experiences with each other. The girl who runs the group does frequent giveaways for all of us and this month I won three samples of YL's facial care line. The samples came in the mail this morning (pictured here to the left) and included the Orange Blossom face wash, Satin Facial scrub, and the Wolfberry eye cream. I went straight to the bathroom, after taking a quick pic for the blog of course, and tried the satin facial. Let me tell you that I am not exaggerating when I say my face feels the best its felt in a while. It's been several hours now and not only does my face still look soft and soothe, but I still have that smooth clean feeling too! I plan on trying the eye cream tonight and the wash in the morning so I'll definitely post updates on those as well after I use them, but knowing YL i'm sure they are superb too! I am going to leave little excerpts below on each individual products and I definitely invite you to try them out! Visit the product info page on the Young Living site for more info. To get wholesale pricing sign up as a MEMBER or purchase a Starter Kit!

Orange Blossom Face Wash - This is a soap free facial wash that cleanses the skin without stripping your natural oils. It contains essential oils to soothe and soften the skin.

Satin Facial Scrub - This is a water-based exfoliate. It is a mixture of natural products and essential oils that minimize your pores and invigorate your skin.

Wolfberry Eye Cream - This product uses wolfberry seed oil which has anti-aging and skin conditioning properties. This product minimizes fine lines and tired eyes.

Frankincense

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I know I have been a little late in posting anything, but I went back home for the holidays and I have been so busy! Now that its the new year though, I am back and ready to type! So today when I woke up and looked in the mirror, I pretty much rushed to my computer to type this post!

I usually try to be a pretty healthy person, but with the holidays and all the lovely fatty foods that come with them that's pretty much been totally ruined the last few months. So since I have been eating so many bad things, I have been suffering from the dreaded break outs on my face and nose. Well yesterday I woke up to find the WORST pimple ever right smack in the middle of my nose. It was right at the top of the bridge in between my eyes and was so red. I had to go all day through work with this huge red spot. It was horrible! So last night before bed I dabbed the wretched red bump with a drop of Frankincense. This morning I went and peaked into the mirror and lo and behold it was almost entirely gone! The size had drastically cleared to the point where it was basically flat and the color had gone from a bright red to a light barely there pink! I am certain that after one more night of doing this, it will be totally gone!

Now personally I don't LOVE the scent of Frankincense, but I am, not saying it's a bad smell as my friend loves it. I will say I like it more when its diffused instead of applied directly or when its mixed with another EO or carrier oil. To me though the health benefits outweigh the scent. Frankincense is FANTASTIC and has so many different uses. Its great for massage, meditation, and healthy skin. I have also heard of many other great ways to use it from the EO community! For instance, I just made a combination using Frankincense along with some other oils to promote immune support and to help avoid sickness during the flu season! I use it every day and, so far, no sickness.

Now for another testimony lol. I also used Frankincense on my little brother when I went home for the holidays. He is 15 and was suffering from teen acne. He had quite a few blemishes across his forehead and nose. As his sibling, I felt it my duty to force him to apply Frankincense before bed each night to his problem areas. Within the week, his face had totally cleared up!

Now I will say, since Frankincense is so versatile for different health benefits and a little harder to extract than other oils, it is a little more on the expensive side. It runs around $70 to $80 for a bottle. However, if you are on a budget like me it is a lot more economical to purchase Frankincense by purchasing the Premium Starter Kit! They start at $160 and not only do you get Frankincense, but you also get 10 other super helpful oils and a diffuser. They last a really long time, you get a lot more bang for your buck, and you have the benefit of receiving wholesale prices when you reorder anything.

If you have questions or anything fun to add about Frankincense, feel free to comment below or visit My Site! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
