Let's talk back to school oils!





Ya'll know by now that I am Loving my essential oils.  We use them every day (and by We, I mean all 4 of us).  So I thought I would share a little bit about how we are heading into the school year proactively working on supporting our Immune Systems and building that up in preparation for the yuckiness of winter.

1. Thieves.  And lots of it!
 Thieves essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals they used while robbing the dead and dying.

 A couple of ways we use Thieves.
                   - Diffuse it every morning as we are getting out the door for school.  We are breathing those healthy oils in and they enter into our bloodstream helping to support our immune system.  AND, it's one of my favorite smells!
                  - We roll a diluted version of Thieves onto our spines every morning on our way out the door and at night, we roll it on the bottom of our feet.  Thieves can be a 'hot' oil, meaning it's a bit spicy and could would not feel good on the skin, so we dilute it with some fracionated coconut oil and we're good to go!
                  - I clean with Thieves.  I have the thieves cleaner and I have put a capful of that in a spray bottle with a little bit of vinegar and that is all I use to clean.  Counters, bathrooms, toilets...  Yup.  Fighting germs with Essential Oils.  And, it's safe for my kids to use.  Kids, cleaning with healthy products.  Win Win Ya'll.

2. R.C. - for Respiratory Support.  RC is a blend of Spruce, Cyprus and 3 blends of Eucaplytus oils. Asher struggles with some respiratory issues and this gem has helped a lot.  I add it to his diffuser at night time and occasionally rub it on his chest as well.   We also use on occasion Frankincense to help support his respiratory system.



3. Melaleuca/Tea Tree Oil  
     - So, I havn't done this yet, but I have plans to start this up...  A glass spray bottle, a pinch of salt (so the oils adhere to something),15 - 20 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil and fill the rest w/ distilled water.  Spray this mix on kids heads as they head out the door to school and it will help to keep critters out of their hair/heads that they just may pick up at school.  Ain't nobody got time for those things! 

4. Valor
   ~  for being brave.  I have a little one who is having a hard time being at school.  Too long a day and missing mommy and lots of tears.  So, we add some Valor essential oil to her wrists and I remind her that she can do hard things.  (as we get her ready for school, she says - can't you just put ALL the oils on me please!?)  

5. Happy Oil Mix Roller.  This is a roller bottle that has a mix of Lavender, Lemon and Frankincense oils as well as coconut oil.  I roll this on Hannah's arms and her neck, behind her ears and even on the front of her shirt.  It smels delightful and helps to lift your mood on those gloomy hard days.  I use it lots too!  Oh yes I do.  Mama needs some happy some days.

So, these are some of the ways we use our Essential Oils to get us through these school days.  Do we still have bad days and tears and unhappy moments?  Absolutely we do.  But we can get through them a little faster with the oils and they help to reach our senses and support our emotions in a positive way.   Do we still get sick?  Yup..  BUT....  not near as much as we did before and when we do - we are able to use the oils instead of running to the medicine cabinet and I have found that those sick days aren't as long as before.  And, it feels good to be able to put onto and into our bodies these oils that benefit us in SO many ways rather then first filling up with lots of different drugs.

If you'd like to try an oil this month - let me know and you can order one through me when I put in my monthly order.  OR, maybe you'd like to order that starter kit and get the diffuser and 11 oils (over $300 worth of supplies) for $160 + tax and get started today towards a heathlier living with Essential Oils.  Email Me and I can help you get set up with ordering.

What I learned in August

Image
I have read on occasion a blog by Emily Freeman  who has a serious of "What I have learned" blog posts.  Her latest - What I have learned in August.  I thought I would join in!  Here are a few things I have learned!   1. How nice it is to have days where you are home ALL DAY LONG.  This summer was busy.  And it included a lot of being out..  I think it was August before we had a day where we didn't have to go anywhere.  And ya'll..  it was glorious!  I'm a home body.  Asher is a home body.  Hannah.. - not so much.  It's a balance, but I long for days of just being home.  Who is with me?  2. I'm not a runner, swimmer or biker..  unless it's for fun.  My husband on the other hand..  all about the training and the challenge and the competition.  He participated in a triathlon in mid August.  The swim wasn't bad.  I didn't see the hills that were a part of the b...

Hello November, I'm coming for you!!

Image
So, I think October won.  October definitely had me beat.  Worn out and tired, I can feel the cold weather blah's coming on and October was not productive.  I feel like I trudged through last month in a fog and it's time to get a hold of things and pull back out of it.  So, November here I come and I plan to win.   For Starters, November means getting back  to the Y and exercising.  I had glorious plans of getting into shape, losing some added pounds, pouding the pavement..  I mean, both my kids are in school ALL day now.. I have hours upon hours to exercise and it JUST. HAS. NOT. HAPPENED.  And I could beat myself up over it.  In fact, the jeans getting tighter are doing a fine job of that themselves.. Instead, I'm hitting the Y this month and setting a goal again of 30in30.  I did this a while ago - with running..  30 miles  of running in 30 days..  I'm no where ready to be running 30 miles this month, ...

God knew we needed her.

It's this sweet girls birthday today.  She turns 6.  I remember like it was yesterday..  finding out I was pregnant with her.  Asher was a mere 5 months old.  5 months ya'll.  And I don't think he had slept yet..  well, maybe for only 20 minutes.  He was not a sleeper.  He was a wide awake, curious, alert, round baby.  Which meant Momma had not slept for 5 months either.  I was tired.  I remember standing in our kitchen behind the counter, prepping for dinner when John walked in.  I'm pregnant, I told him.  Again.  We'll have another newborn due the end of October.  And I cried.  I cried, because sometimes finding out you are having a baby is overwhelming.  And I was tired.  And I thought I would never get to sleep again.  EVER.  And how was I supposed to mother and care for another little person who might keep me up all night too.  How?   Oh, HOW, I thank Go...
