Stress and all that is ugly

To say that stress is bad for you is an understatement. It's hard on your heart, mind, and body. Anyone else a stress-eater!?! That's a real thing. I turn to comfort foods and care less about my health, when I'm stressed.

Stress also triggers a chemical reaction in your body that ultimately can make you gain and retain weight. (Here's the medical explanation on how stress makes you gain weight, because I am no doctor. I'm just someone who has experienced this!! http://www.webmd.com/diet/stress-weight-gain)

I hoped for assistance with my emotions when I started using Young Living essential oils, and I could cry happy tears right now at how much they've helped me!!! I use Joy along with some other oils to help support my emotions daily! (I rub them on my chest every morning. I also LOVE to put a drop in my diffuser necklace!!) Stress Away is my go to I'm-About-To-Snap blend. lol



This is the bonus oil in the starter kits so I was hooked from the beginning! I take it everywhere I go. Think about it ... you're having a bad day and you can feel your stress building... Rub some of this blend on and it's amazing! I love to massage it into my neck.



Don't obey the commercials that tell you to eat a candy bar! lol I mean I still give in to my cravings sometimes, but not every time I'm grumpy or hangry. ;)

Unexpected bonus of using this face wash!

Okay I got the Satin Facial Scrub in Mint from Young Living, because I knew I need to exfoliate regularly. 

For just over $16 wholesale, I thought that's a great price!  (Especially since it's made with some of my favorite essential oils!)  After a couple of weeks of use, my pores are definitely looking smaller!! 

Here's where I was surprised though ...

Do you ever wake up congested?  I do!  Seems like crud just settles in my sinuses when I'm asleep!! Gross. I know. But, it's true. 

Well, I tried this for the first time one morning and could not believe how well I could breathe right after!

I've started massaging my sinuses with warm water and the scrub and it is amazing relief!  I highly recommend you try it too!

You can order it as a retail customer, at $21.38 or wholesale customers can get it for $16.25.  Follow my link to create your own account!  Choose the contact me option if you'd like more info on becoming a wholesale member!

Baby On Board

Well, it's been a little while. Honestly I was trying to keep quiet about the fact that I'm pregnant again until after the first trimester and then time got away from me. So, here I am again wanting to chat and share!

We found out we are having a girl!  Our son is so excited about his baby sister, due in early August.

One of the reasons I had to avoid blogging is because I just wanted to share how I am using Young Living essential oils this time around. 

If you don't already know, I first started researching essential oils when I was pregnant with my son. When the doctor gave me a long list of things to avoid ... I questioned what was going into my body for the first time!  (I know I should have sooner, but I'm glad I got my wake up call!)

Now that I'm stocked and comfortable with my oils, I was so ready to tackle pregnancy symptoms.  The first trimester was full of morning/Noon/night sickness for me, again. Digize to the rescue!  

I use this Young Living blend as needed. I have it diluted in a roller, so it's really handy on-the-go too!  (This one does come in the Premium Starter Kit.)

I also found simply sniffing peppermint helped to calm my stomach, especially in be car. 

I'm going to keep sharing my personal experiences so "stay tuned" for more.
