Skin So Soft!

5/26/2015

Grapeseed oil isn't just for cooking anymore!

Grapeseed oil is light and odorless and so makes for a great "beauty" oil. Grapeseed oil is said to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles. It may also help with acne for some and can lend to soft skin.

Here is a little "recipe" that I used recently and it made for a nice, relaxing bath time. Need a little get-a-way? Try this! (By the way, my choice for Grapeseed oil is Wildtree's Nat ural Grapeseed Oil).

1-2 Tablespoons of Wildtree Grapeseed oil
4-5 Drops of essential oil (your choice of scent. I use only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade.)

Add the essential oil drops to your choice of Natural Grapeseed Oil and pour into your hot bath water. My favorite essential oil blend is a "Joyful Blend", but it is up to you.

By the way, only use Pure Certified Therapeutic Grade essential oils because it is important to realize that essential oils are made up of teeny-tiny molecules that will enter into your bloodstream. Therapeutic grade is the way to go...and you also get reap the great benefits as well!

Do you have questions about where to buy your oils? Feel free to contact me for what I believe are the best oils at the deepest savings.

I Am What I...Think

You've hear it said: "You are what you eat." Well, have you ever thought about: "You are what you think"? It's true. Your thoughts can greatly influence your day, your life, your health. You ARE what you think. If you think negatively. You will become negative inside and out. Change it to positive and notice yourself becoming more and more positive...inside and out. There are many things that contribute to negative thinking, but you have the mind and power to change these things. There is no better time than to start today to make positive changes in your life. The sooner you start, the easier it becomes...until the "new" becomes YOU!

By the way, did you know that essential oils can help deal with emotions and encourage positive thinking? It's true! Oils are potent, powerful little molecules that can produce a soothing, uplifting effect on the mind. There is science behind this, but in a nutshell, essential oils can help our bodies to ease back into balance and contribute to our over-all health and wellness...inside and out. Ready to learn more?

Laundry Time!

5/11/2015

Okay, one more mention of essential oils and laundry (sorry...I'm on kind of a roll). I told you in my last post about how I banished the washer odor using an essential oil "Cleansing Blend". I am STILL thrilled about that one. Since then, I made up my new batch of homemade laundry detergent (I use the liquid kind), and I decided to add 15 drops of my blend to it. I couldn't be happier! I absolutely can't wait to take my laundry out of the washer. It just smells clean! Completely odor-free. Now I just need to decide which essential oil scent I want to add to my dryer for that extra yummy-ness, right?!

Are you ready to get started using essential oils for your laundry needs? Contact me and I'll share what I did!

Laundry Woes?

5/9/2015

So I have heard about Purify being good for odors. Stinky sneakers, laundry and air. Well recently, my own washing machine had a bit of odor to it. Because of this, I worried that my laundry wouldn't smell its best coming out of it. I was a little skeptical of just a few drops of essential oil taking care of the problem, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I added 5 drops of this "Cleansing Blend" to my washer right along with the laundry detergent. Did it work? I was very, very happily surprised! The odor was gone and my clothes smelled good. It really DID work! I even did this a couple of more times for good measure. Go ahead...try it out!

Leg Pain? Nope!

5/4/2015

Okay, so today I woke up with very annoying leg pain. I have Deep Blue oil, but I decided to try a Deep Blue rub sample that I have. Yes! I LOVE this stuff! It completely took my leg pain away and I was good to go without thinking about it any longer! Don't get me wrong, the oil is fantastic as well, but I love how easy this sample was to rub on. I wish I had known about this when I used to heavily workout..;)

If you are interested in the Deep Blue Rub samples, contact me. If you are ready to purchase the Deep Blue, I say "Absolutely, go for it!", however, please ask me about the wholesale savings membership first. Anyone can enroll in it and there is no requirement to sell! It's awesome!

Poof! It's Clean!

4/25/2015

There are plenty of ideas out there for cleaning with essential oils, and I will continue to post them here on my blog. The reason I decided to post this one is because of the Lemongrass! I made up a concoction for a Tick Repellent that I saw recently and it had Lemongrass in it. When I used it, it smelled exactly like a "green" cleaner that I had been using not too long ago. It made me think back to when I read the label on the particular cleaner and noticed that it also contained Lemongrass.

I decided to save some money and make up my own cleaner spray this time. I added 10 drops of Lemongrass and 10 drops of Lemon and then filled the spray bottle with water. 8 -12 oz. of water is appropriate. Mmmmm...so refreshing! I LOVE this smell as I am cleaning, because it really gives the house a crisp and clean scent. Lemongrass, by the way, is known to repel mosquitoes also, so as we get into the warmer months, this will be an added plus!

To order Lemongrass and Lemon essential oils for yourself, I'd love to help you. C heck this out!

Stop! I Want To Get Off!

4/23/2015

Have you ever had a moment when your world was spinning? Even feeling a temporary unbalance can interrupt your schedule. I mean, merry-go-rounds are fun and all, but when I'm done...I want to get off, right?

This happened to me recently: a feeling of being a little "off-kilter" and unbalanced, if you know what I mean; and I'll let you know what helped--> A one..two...three...punch: Helichrysum, Lavender, and Basil. These three oils together can help assist in maintaining natural balance within!

I put a drop of Helichrysum and rubbed it on the top of both of my ears and down the back of them, all the way down behind the jaw. I repeated that with a drop of Lavender. After that, I took a drop of basil and rubbed it behind both ears. Almost immediately the "merry-go-round" stopped. After about 20 minutes, I felt almost completely "balanced" again.

To be honest, at that time I felt like there just might be a little bit of magic in those bottles, and I was able to get on with my day. I'd love to hear how this works for you too.

These supplements are also sold vegan for those who desire. Please enjoy!
