Beauty Serum, aka liquid gold

A wonderful image consultant gave me the best advice for skincare years ago ... Moisturize your face!  Oily skin is a sign that your skin is out of balance, so don't skip the moisturer, use the right kind.

I've found the absolutely best and it's affordable because you make it yourself. 

What you need:

- glass dropper bottle or roller bottle

- Yong Living essential oils

- carrier oil (Jajoba is a popular carrier for the face.)

I personally love Chamomile (calming), Cedarwood (regulate), Lavender (cleanse and support), Neroli (tone), Frankinscence (firm, soothe, and support), and Sandalwood (balance).

There is some amazing research available  on essential oils and skincare!

You can start small, with just a little carrier and 5 drops of an essential oil. You can add to it every couple of days. 

I would highly recommend using a small amount every morning and night. This will help to keep your skin nourished and your makeup will go on smoother with a smoother canvas. 

The gift that keeps on giving!

Share this with your loved one if you want the gift that keeps on giving for Christmas!

The Young Living Premium Starter Kit is amazing because it will get you the 10 everyday oils so you can start replacing some other things you're using. You get an awesome diffuser!  Plus there are samples, small bottles for travel/sharing, and more!!

Want ideas for gift giving!?! Oh there's an oil for that!  Feel free to ask me for ideas! For instance, a new mom could use Gentle Baby and Lavender.  Someone who needs a better night's rest, Peace and Calming. For the athlete, PanAway oil blend or the Cool Azul Sports Gel.  A little pampering with the Lavender Lotion is a great one too!!

Fit, fabulous, and oily

I've struggled with body-image most of my life, even when I was tiny I wasn't happy with myself. Now, I've had a child and my weight has bounced around as I've gotten older ... boy oh boy, is it hard to keep a positive self-image sometimes!

My main focus by adding Young Living's essential oils and products was overall health.  I'm sure you've heard that you can't just diet and lose weight ... that you have to also workout.  It's just like that.  You can't add pure essential oils to cut-out toxins, but still eat junk food and not workout.  

If I want to be fit and trim...

If I want to be a good example to my son ...

If I want to have a positive body image ...

If I want to be comfortable in my own skin ...

I HAVE TO BE HEALTHY!  Sorry, I have to yell that at myself sometimes.  ;) 

Y'all, I have seriously lost weight and gotten myself in check using multiple things.  Again, this is not a post about "to lose weight just drink ___", these are ways that I support my health and manage weight, in addition to eating healthy and moving more!

I drink Young Living's Pure Protein Complete for breakfast every morning.  This stuff is delicious!  Tastes like chocolate milk to me, and I think most protein powders taste like chalk.  This has allowed me to avoid poor food decisions.

I LOVE to drink Lemon, Peppermint, and Grapefruit essential oils in my water.  A couple of drops of each supports digestion.  (For some, these are too powerful of a flavor to drink in water and they'll put them in vegetable capsules.)

Young Living has entire lines of products dedicated to being "Healthy & Fit" so check it out!

For overall health, I drink a shot (1-2 ounces) of NingXia Red every morning.  (I started drinking this for energy too, so be sure read the previous blog post on that subject!)
