An Anthropologie recipe

A friend online,  Melissa Ann Marie, that she was making a perfume roller.  She said she used 3 drops each of the following oils to achieve the an Anthropologie perfume when mixed with fractionated coconut oil.  

I wasn't in the mood to create a perfume roller. I wanted a peaceful diffuser blend. 

An Anthropologie Diffuser Blend, I only used 2 drops of each:

Idaho Blue Spruce

Northern Lights Black Spruce

Pine

Tangerine

Lime

Ylang Ylang

Geranium

Delicious and worthy of the rainbow that was hitting my aroma diffuser while I was at work in the craft room today. 
 

Not Real Pneumonia

I got diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia in December. 

I have felt like a Young Living Failure ever since. 

There, I said it.   I have been feeling guilty for weeks. 

In Young Living Leadership circles, there's a catchy phrase you may have heard, "Be a Product of the Product".  The theory being, if you are trying to get a product out there, you should use it.  Daily.  I do.  I use my Oils every day.  I drink the Vitality Oils.  I diffuse Oils in any room that I'm in for more than a couple minutes. I take the supplements.  Maybe not every thing.  But a lot of them!

I was taking my vitamins every day during December.  I was taking Immupro every night.  Was I drinking Ningxia Red and Inner Defense every day?  No. No, not really.  I should have.  I've done that before, made sure that we all are drinking our Ningxia Red every day.  But I didn't last month.  Clearly I should have.  Is that where the problem occurred? I don't know. 

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.

I still feel bad.  Like I'm still sick. I lost my voice for Christmas. I'm still coughing.  I'm coming down from the Prednisone that got me through Christmas, and I feel terrible.  When I cough, my head feels like it's going to split.  It's not so bad most of the day, but when I lay down, or get up, I cough for like an hour, and sound disgusting.  I have a finite amount of energy, and can do 1 or 2 things a day, and That's It. I want to do More!!

I want so badly to start this  year with my Young Living business gangbusters.  I didn't do much business wise last year, except care for my team.  That was good, but I want to kick it up a notch.  But I feel like I'm not any kind of good motivation while I'm still coughing and disgusting. 

It occurred to me this morning, that it could be worse.  Much Worse!  I could have the kind of pneumonia that lands you in the hospital.  I could've been stuck in Isolation, away from my kids, on Christmas, and New Years.  Instead, I just have had to take a nap every day.  While on Vacation.  And I've been able to attend almost every Family Get Together. 

My Oils got me this far.  That was a new thought, a non-guilt inducing thought.  Maybe I'd be in a worse mess if I wasn't oiling.  That kind of gave me hope.  I was able to be home with my family, celebrating Christmas and New Years with my loved ones instead of being sick in a hospital like most folks who get pneumonia.  I'm Thankful for that.

This is a photo of my little Dewdrop work horse diffuser working on Diffusing Christmas Spirit while we put up the Christmas trees. Well done good and faithful diffuser. 

Bon Voyage for Spring Break!

I had a Class on the Bon Voyage Kit, a special travel package offered by Young Living.  Our Spring Break begins this weekend!  And what could be more Perfect than being able to travel with small (TSA approved 3 oz or less) sized containers of your favorite Oily Products!  

These are the goodies that come in the Bon Voyage Kit. 

I had tried most of them before getting this myself.  

But I fell in love with the Genesis hand and body lotion, it's so mild but so moisturizing.  

The first time I traveled with it, was to Walt Disney World, and I put it on under my socks before traipsing all over the Park. By the end of the day, my feet were so soft!  I couldn't believe it.  

Plus, I loved having Lavender shampoo and conditioner on the road or after a swim, it was so much nicer than that cruddy stuff hotels give you.  Perfect for all road trips! 

Crystal was our big winner today!  

She won the Kit we used to talk about! 

She loves the lip balm best, but also liked the smell and feel of the Genesis lotion. 

For Wisdom like Yoda

My eldest is taking the ISTEP, a standardized test for his class.  

Normally, he doesn't get too stressed out about this, but he is on the Spectrum, and sometimes he surprises me.  This morning as he took off for school, he asked me to make him a rollon.  

Clarity is an Amazing blend for the brain, it has Basil, Rosemary, Peppermint, Cardamom, Coriander,  Geranium, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, and Palmarosa.  It's a great blend, and we all love it for focus. I blend Vetiver into it too.  Vetiver is a strong sap, so it must be warmed before using, or it won't drop.  I've pulled the drop reducer, and it still wouldn't budge.  Well, I got smart this time, I put it down my bra to warm it while I took my littlest to Preschool.  It worked swimmingly, but instead of warming for 10 minutes, I got distracted, and forgot about it for 3 1/2 hours. Ha Ha!  Squirrel!  

Meanwhile, it dripped out just fine, being body temperature. And I was able to find some Star Wars duct tape around the house.  So I put a slab on it.  The picture I cut, just happened to have Yoda on it.  Yoda is always a big hit.  

For Wisdom like Yoda: 

30 drops Clarity

10 drops Vetiver 

Fill the rest of the way with V6, which is absorbed quickly and doesn't leave stains.  

The Intro

I had scheduled an Into to Essential Oils Class this morning, but the 1 person who replied couldn't make it.  That happens sometimes, lately often to me.   But I am not giving up.  I still have experienced amazing things from these Oils, and I feel Called to Share them.  I still held my class anyway.  Here is my Intro to Essential Oils class, it was a Good Opportunity for me to Practice without interruption.  I enjoy interacting with people the most about my job, it makes it easy to hear about someone's issues and be able to share stories to help.  Maybe there is something for you all to learn here too. 

If you would like to Order something or join my Team, feel free to contact me or go HERE. 

Foot Rollon for Fathers

I made this great rollon for my Dad for his Birthday.   He's been needing some support in his feet, and I found this great recipe online.  I liked it so much, I made one for myself. I keep it in my nightstand, so that when I wake and my feet need a little attention, I can roll this across the arches.  It's Great!
