Get up and go!

I work STRANGE hours. I get up at 2 AM, work 9+ hours a day and then come home to a toddler.

Who doesn't need more energy!?! 

This has been multifaceted for me. More QUALITY sleep, energy boosts, plus overall nutrition. 

Quality Sleep

I started diffusing at night. Many have great luck with Lavender and Cedarwood.  Stress Away is another popular choice. I personally love Peace and Calming. This particular blend helps me quiet my thoughts and get a more restful sleep. I could even use the sleep tracker on my jawbone to see that I was more settled at night!

Getting better sleep ✔️

(More sleep?  Maybe when my kid graduates high school. Lol)

Get up and go

After not enough sleep, I'd still be sluggish for a couple of hours. It just took me too long to get my mind and body to wake up at 2 in the morning!  I added En-R-Gee and Brain Power essential oil blends to my morning routine.

I apply 1-2 drops of En-R-Gee to the bottoms of my big toes right after waking up. (Google Vita Flex points!)  In our large oily support FB group, others have found success applying it to the back of the neck. I can tell a difference in no time with this blend!!

I apply a drop of Brain Power to the back my neck for mental alertness and focus. Great before work!!

I drink 1-2 ounces of NingXia Red in the morning. This is Young Living's proprietary nutrition drink that is chock full of antioxidants!  Think fruit fusion drink with a big ol' boost! 

Morning energy boost ✔️

Afternoon slump

I was drinking a pot of coffee a day!  Seriously a whole pot!  I've gotten that down to two cups a day, but sometimes that afternoon slump hits and I just need a boost. 

I keep NingXia Nitro on hand. I use this for that "gotta keep going" point in the day. Think healthier energy drink, since I can actually understand the words in the ingredients list on this one!  Lol
My husband is a soccer coach and he LOVES Nitro.  He described it as an energy boost while he's up and moving, but when he needed to settle down it didn't keep him wired.  

Quick pick me up ✔️

An Oily Routine

Buying essential oils and knowing what to do with them are two different things.

Step one, purchase Young Living essential oils. (Again, the kit gets you the wholesale discount!)  Step two, know what to do with them. There are a lot of books, phone apps and websites that are independent (so don't profit off the sale of oils) and can get into great detail on what, how, when, etc.  I have several books from Life Science Publishing and Abundant Health.

Want to know what an oily routine looks like?  (These are just the oils and products that have replaced my old routine.  In the next post, I'll talk about my energy and emotions, by popular demand.)

AM routine:

- Thieves AromabrightToothpaste 

- Thieves Mouthwash 

- En-R-Gee 1-2 drops applied

- Joy blend, 1 drop over the heart

- Brain Power, 1 drop on the back of my neck

- Sniffle ease trio (lavender, peppermint, and lemon diluted in a roller, with Copaiba to make it stronger for myself), applied over my sinuses and under my nose

- underarm spray

Daily diffusing based on my family's needs. Thieves is a popular choice because it's immune boosting properties. 

PM routine:

- blemish buster roller (Tea Tree, lemon, Purificiation, Lavender, etc)

- face serum (many, many oils lol. Frankincense, Elemi, Lavender, etc.)

- shampoo includes a drop of lavender and a drop of cedarwood per ounce 

I recently started using the Tranquil roll-on shortly before bedtime to help me settle down. I always diffuse at night, usually Peace and Calming.

Essential Oils and Pets

I'll always say, do your research!  There are scientific studies and MANY books available.  (My personal book faves come from Life Science Publishing.)

All my research led me to Young Living essential oils, and all the helpful guidelines recommend DILUTE when using essential oils on your babies.  This applies to your kids and your fur babies.  

I had no plans/need of using essential oils on my dogs, but my diffuser disperses it around the room.

I noticed a difference in my dog's reaction to thunderstorms shortly after I added the YL home diffuser in my bedroom. Basically, I started diffusing Peace & Calming at night to aid sleep.  (I'm an over-thinker and just needed to relax!)  A few weeks later a line of storms moved through at night.  That would normally mean a poor night's sleep for me, simply because my teacup poodle shakes and crawls all over me.  The next morning, I woke up after uninterrupted sleep and thought, no way!  The next batch of storms in the forecast, I had the diffuser ready and sure enough, she was peaceful and calm the entire time.

Selling v. Loving

I did NOT plan to sell. I think that makes me a little different. I've been an independent sales person for a makeup company before, and I ended up losing money. 

When you purchase a Young Living Premium Starter Kit, you have the option to sell. You don't have to, but you can. There are no membership fees, nothing hidden. 

We ended up in a financial bind after the holidays.  I needed some extra cash, and I found that I was already sharing/loving Young Living essential oils and products. My cousin, in my "up line" aka oily support team, suggested that I hold my first workshop and see how it goes. 

I'd say the rest is history but that story hasn't ended. :)

I personally can't stand to see generic posts from independent sales folks that are clearly copied and pasted; posts that are only about how much money you can earn or how to get a free trip ...  But what about the products!?!  That's what I'm actually buying, right?

Think of Young Living's products like fine wine. There is a huge difference in it and the cheap stuff. There is a reason you can't just find it on the shelves at a grocery store. 

If you are looking to focus on health and wellness and want to try Young Living essential oils and products, then ask me how.  If you'd like to make some extra money, take control of your income, or have a second job ... Well, ask me how.  They're one in the same in this situation.
