Snoring keeping you awake?

I have an oil for that!!

No, seriously I do.

I have a good friend whose husband snores like a freight train (her words) and has for years.  Nothing has helped.

We have been told that YoungLiving's Valor may help with snoring and she decided to try it!

This may sound crazy, but with the vita flex points on the feet, she applied 1-2 drops of Valor on the bottom of each of his feet.  On the inside of the foot from the top of the heel to the big toe.  

And you know what?

IT WORKED!!!

She got the most uninterrupted sleep she has had in years!

However, her husband didn't believe her.  So he decided to test it and downloaded a recording app on his phone.  He first recorded his sleep for 3 nights with no Valor.....lots of snoring!!  

He then recorded 3 nights using Valor.

Guess what?

He is a believer.

NO snoring.

And he is now telling all his family about it!!

This little piece of information might just save some marriages!

Ha Ha....just kidding.  But as you age, quality sleep becomes more and more important!

So, if you want information on how to buy some Valor, just email me!!

I will be happy to help you out!

surprise benefit....

Most of you know I have been using Essential Oils for a year now...

...and that I love them.

Well, I just found a surprise, bonus benefit. :)

Back in August, I started using coconut oil as my face cleanser and moisturizer.  Yep, just raw coconut oil.  

At night, I put coconut oil all over my face and then use a warm wash cloth to remove it.  It completely takes off ALL makeup!!

Then I put a very small amount of coconut oil (a little goes a LONG way) in my hand and mix it with  ONE drop of Sacred Frankincense essential oil.  I apply this to my face before going to bed.

The next morning, I again wipe my face with a warm wash cloth and apply a small amount of coconut oil before I apply my make-up.

Honestly, my skin has never looked  or felt better!!!

And blemishes that I have struggled with are gone!

But I realized the surprise benefit while putting on my make-up this morning.

I have always had fairly long eyelashes.  However, in the last couple of years, they just don't seem as full or as long.  Also, I seemed to have lost most of my lower eyelashes.  They just aren't there. I had chalked it up to "age"....like everything else.  :/

But, when putting on my mascara this morning I realized that my eyelashes were SO long and my lower eyelashes had grown back in!!!!  

I tried to get a real close up, but this is the best I could do...and I don't have a before picture so you will just have to trust me.  I really wasn't looking for this benefit.  

Can you see my lower lashes?!!!  And look how long my upper lashes are!

The ONLY thing I have done differently is the coconut oil and the frankincense.

Seriously, y'all, I almost did a happy dance in the bathroom this morning!!  

Things around here have been a bit tough lately so this little thing made me very happy! I guess it doesn't take much these days...

I had heard for a long time about using coconut oil on your face and I love it..... your other benefit is it is so much less expensive than regular cleansers and moisturizers. An $8 bottle of coconut oil will last me 4 months and I use it all over, not just on my face.  The Frankincense is a little pricier but you only use 1 drop so it lasts a long time too.

Love it!

Gotta love a good report!

The end of last spring, at my yearly check up, I was diagnosed with high cholesterol.

My doctor suggested I go on a statin and come back in 4 months for a recheck.  I didn't really say anything to her, but as I walked out I had already decided I wouldn't fill the prescription....you see my dad has had some side effects from statins and I was not ready to go there.  

I decided to try a more natural route first.  And I decided not to tell the doctor....that the labs in 4 months would tell me if I needed to reconsider.

 I already eat a fairly good diet but watched it a little closer and we exercise regularly.  So, I decided to see if any of my essential oils could help.  After some research, I found that Lemongrass is said to help lower cholesterol so I added it to my daily routine.  I first started applying it topically each day to my wrists.  Then in August,  I also added one shot of YL's ningxia red supplement and I changed to putting 2 drops of lemongrass in the shot of ningxa each morning. 

Well, it took me 6 months to get back to the doctor, but I got the results of my lab work yesterday and was thrilled with the results!!! 

My before/after numbers....total 240/223, HDL 46/63, LDL 143/122.... pretty impressive!! 

 I love my essential oils!!

New Adventure

Some of you know that last spring my husband lost his job.  And while we wait for God to show us what He has for us next in ministry, He has opened the door for me to begin a new adventure/business in YoungLiving Essential Oils.

I was introduced to essential oils (EOs) by my daughter-in-love. 

Now while I have always been someone willing to try homeopathic remedies for my health, I must admit that I tried EOs mostly to support and get to know her better. :)

I'm so glad I did!!

I was a bit of a skeptic at first, but I have been using YLEOs for almost 9 months now and have been pleased, amazed and thrilled with how they work.  Why is it that we will go to a doctor and take whatever they prescribe to us but when it comes to using something natural that God made, we are skeptical? crazy!!

Why use Essential Oils?

First, it's 100% natural.  No synthetics, additives or fillers. 
Young Living Essential Oils are extracted carefully through steam distillation or through cold pressing. The essential oils have a high potency which can deliver quick and effective results. Becauese Young Living Essential Oils are pure, they are also therapeutic and can be diffused, inhaled, applied topically, incorporated into massage or taken internally.  And unlike most meds, they can be used whenever needed without having to wait a prescribed amount of time.

Why YoungLiving Essential Oils?

Many of us have smelled essential oils or are familiar with the natural or earthy scents that are often in bath and personal care products. But there is a big difference between Young Living Essential Oils and an oil purchased at a health food store or on Amazon. Young Living has always been on the cutting edge at bringing the use of essential oils to millions of people for the last 20 years.  They also provide a deep knowledge of how to use the oils for mind/ body wellness.

So I started my journey with the YoungLiving Starter kit which includes these 10 oils plus 1 more and a diffuser...

With just these 11 oils, I have basically replaced my over the counter medicine cabinet and first aide kit!!  I have not bought Ibuprofen, allergy meds, antacids or any other over the counter medicine for 9 months now.  I like that!

I also suffer from carpal tunnel.  6 months ago I could not type this post to you without a TON of pain and I was ready to see a doctor about surgery.  I researched it and found that lemongrass EO was said to be good for inflammation and carpal tunnel and so I started using it.  at first, I put it on when ever I had pain, so I was applying it several times a day... it is natural so you don't have to worry about how often you use it!  Then within about 3 weeks, I realized all my pain was gone!!  Now I use it every morning...and it smells great, so that is a bonus!!! 

Some testimonials from my friends using EOs...

* got rosecea under control
* killed wart virus, in several friends
* my son's ADD controlled completely by oils
* Anxiety relieved and controlled
* healing of injuries...

 My MIL had a fall recently and she pulled the skin back on her hand.  When I got to see her, her hand looked like the picture on the left.  After TWO days of putting lavender on her hand, it looked like the picture on the right!!

As I became more sold on using EOs, I began telling my friends about them and how they were helping me......and God just opened this door to a business.  I am excited to see what God does with it, but more excited to share these wonderful oils with all my friends!!

If you would like to know more about Essential Oils...email me!!
 I would love to talk to you about them!

With fall coming on and flu season not too far away....essential oils are a great way to protect and combat against illness!!
