Lady Cramps

So I have come across a new recipe to help with the dreaded monthly "Lady Cramps"! What I like to do when mixing several oils together is to use a glass roller ball like THESE from Amazon. You want to always make sure to store your oils in glass as they can leech toxins out of plastic and that would kind of defeat their entire purpose of being natural and healthy.

For this recipe you will need...

1. Geranium Essential Oil
2. Cypress Essential Oil
3. Panaway Young Living Blend
4. Carrier Oil (Coconut, Grapeseed, or Jojoba oil) - I used Grapeseed

You will fill up your roller bottle about halfway with your chosen carrier oil. Next you will put several drops of the Geranium, Cypress, and Panaway into the bottle. Now for me I used 10 drops of each oil


When diluting your essential oils into a carrier oil, it's important to know your own skin. I put a little more in because I don't have sensitive skin. In fact, I have sometimes not even diluted them and have been just fine. If you do have sensitive skin, or aren't quite use to using essential oils, then I would only use about 5-7 drops of the above. Though I like to sometimes use oils without diluting, I still highly recommend it because it makes your oils last so much longer!

So once you have your mixture in your roller bottle, you are ready for use! I always like to label exactly what is in each roller bottle so I don't forget and can refill when needed. When you began to have cramps from your cycle, simply roll the bottle around on your lower abdomen and rub it in. Apply as needed. I don't usually get horrific cramps, so it really did make me feel better with just moderate cramping. The Panaway gives you a cooling sensation while the Geranium smells fantastic like fresh cut flowers!

If you are interested in learning more about essential oils, then check out My Site or comment below with any questions. If you are interested in purchasing these oils, you can do so right off the YL site, but I do recommend Becoming a Member if you plan on integrating oils into your life as it is MUCH more cost efficient! If you do decide to become a member please enter my member number as your reference 3304352 - Thanks guys and have a fabulous cramp-free day!

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!

Thieves

Hope everyone is having a good day! Today I have decided to tell you a little about THIEVES which is quickly becoming one of my favorite oils from my YL Starter Kit! 

I thought with cold and flu season here this would be a great one to share. Thieves is a special blend that comes from YL. It is a great immune system supporter. What I have done has been to dilute the Thieves (or you can apply it directly however I do recommend diluting in either coconut oil or grapeseed oil) into a glass roller bottle. Each night before bed I apply the Thieves to the bottoms of my feet. Almost every organ is connected to an area of the foot and this allows for the thieves to really work its magic! 

I have also used Thieves when I have felt something coming on like headache, scratchy throat, etc. I just put a drop of straight Thieves undiluted on the tip of my finger and rub it on the roof of my mouth and whatever was ailing me got better by the next day. It doesn't taste bad, similar to cinnamon probably from the cloves. I really feel like this oil is a great one to use daily to keep up your health. 

Because of its "purifying" properties, which almost act as a disinfectant in my experience, YL has come out with many different Thieves products and can also be purchased as one of the starter kits!

Lemon Love

Good Evening!! Now that I have had a little time with my YL starter kit, I wanted to start sharing some of my EO (essential oil) experience with you! So one of the oils I have used the most is LEMON. I have used it in a couple different ways so far. First of all, it smells fantastic! The first thing I used lemon in was my food. I used a couple drops while sauteing some veggies. A little bit goes a long way and it gave my dinner a nice subtle lemon tang. 

 My favorite use for lemon so far has been as a dietary supplement. I purchased the bottle pictured here from the YL website. I fill it with cold water every morning and put 2 drops of lemon in with it. Sometimes I also add 2 drops of other oils as well like Grapefruit, Lime, and Peppermint. (my favorite combo is grapefuit and lemon)

The lemon is cleansing and therefore helps to cleanse toxins from your body. 

No joke, since I started doing this, I have felt more awake and energized. Lemon is good for cleansing the liver and I have had positive effects for sure. Not to give you "TMI", but the first couple of days it definitely cleaned out my system. I had to use the restroom several more times than normal for the first day or so, but ever since everything is back to normal and I feel really great!

I purchased this bottle because you DO need to use an all glass bottle. The lemon will pull toxins out of the plastic that you don't want to drink! As you can see, the oil clings to the glass so I don't even have to waste oil each time I refill my bottle. Only refill oil about every 3 times. 

Lemon is mainly used for energy, circulatory support, and cleansing toxins from the body. I have also used it in other special mixes for things like focus, productivity, nasal congestion, etc. I plan on telling you about all these special mixes in future posts or if you have an oil/oils for different symptoms you would like to hear me talk about, then let me know in comments. 

If you are interested in trying Lemon or other oils please visit MY WEBSITE!!
