Summer is the season of fun and relaxation, and essential oils are a great way to enhance your summer activities. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate essential oils into your summer plans:
1. Beach Day:
If you're planning a day at the beach, pack a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of Young Living's peppermint oil. This refreshing spray will keep you cool and help repel any pesky insects that may be hanging around.
2. Hiking Adventure:
Going for a hike in the summer months can be a magical experience, but it can also be tiring. Carrying a small bottle of Young Living's lemon oil or grapefruit oil with you can help to keep your energy levels up and provide a refreshing scent to keep you motivated.
3. Outdoor Yoga:
Practicing yoga in nature can be a wonderful experience, but sometimes mosquitoes can disrupt your peaceful meditation. Incorporate Young Living's lavender oil into your yoga practice. This will help to keep the bugs at bay and provide a calming aroma that will enhance your practice.
4. Backyard BBQ:
Hosting a backyard BBQ with friends and family is a fun summer activity, but pesky bugs can crash the party. Add a few drops of Young Living's citronella oil to a diffuser or spray bottle to keep the bugs away and provide a fresh, summery scent.
5. Camping Trip:
Camping is a great way to experience the great outdoors during the summer months. Pack a small bottle of Young Living's tea tree oil to use as a natural bug repellent, as well as to provide cleansing and purifying properties to keep your camping area fresh and clean.
Final Thoughts:
Summer is a time to enjoy the great outdoors, and incorporating essential oils into your activities can enhance your experiences and make them even better. Have fun and enjoy your summer!

Essential oils have been gaining popularity in recent years for their potential to support various aspects of overall health. One area in which these oils may be particularly effective is in supporting cardiovascular health. Here are some essential oils to consider adding to your wellness routine:
1. Ylang ylang: Ylang ylang essential oil has been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system, which can help reduce stress levels. This can be especially beneficial for those who experience anxiety related to their cardiovascular health.
2. Lemon: Lemon essential oil is rich in antioxidants, which may help protect against free radical damage to the arteries. Additionally, lemon is a natural diuretic, which can help reduce high blood pressure.
3. Frankincense: Frankincense essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the cardiovascular system, including the arteries.
4. Peppermint: Peppermint essential oil may help improve blood flow and circulation, making it a good choice for those with poor circulation or peripheral artery disease.
5. Cypress: Cypress essential oil has been used traditionally to support circulation and is thought to help improve blood flow to the heart.
It's important to note that while essential oils may provide support for cardiovascular health, they should never replace medical advice or medications. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your healthcare routine.
When it comes to using essential oils for cardiovascular health, there are several ways to incorporate them into your routine. You can diffuse them, add them to a carrier oil for a relaxing massage, or simply inhale them directly from the bottle.
Incorporating essential oils into your routine can be a great way to support overall cardiovascular health. By using these oils in conjunction with healthy lifestyle habits, you may be able to improve your heart health and reduce your risk of heart disease.

What is Exercise?
Exercise is any movement that requires your muscles to work and your body to burn calories.
There are many types of exercise including walking, running, cycling, swimming, and dancing to name just a few.
Exercise has been shown to have so many health benefits both physically and mentally.
Here are 10 of the top benefits of regular exercise on your body.
1. It improves your mood. Exercise produces changes in the parts of the brain that regulate stress and anxiety. It increases the production of endorphins. What are endorphins? Endorphins are defined as hormone-like substances that are produced in the brain. These are the chemicals that make you feel good and are also the body’s natural pain killers. It also increases serotonin levels, which helps regulate your mood, sleep and appetite.
2. It can help weight loss. Incorporating just 15 minutes of moderate exercise — such as walking one mile — on a daily basis will burn up to 100 extra calories (assuming you don’t consume excess calories in your diet afterwards). Burning 700 calories a week equals 10 lbs. of weight loss over the course of a year.
3. It is good for your muscles and bones. Exercise plays a vital role in building and maintaining strong muscles and bones. Why? Because it helps release hormones that promote the ability of your muscles to absorb amino acids. Regular exercise can reduce muscle loss and help you stay strong as you age.
4. It reduces your risk of chronic illness. Regular exercise has been shown to improve heart health and can also decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A lack of exercise can lead to increased belly fat which can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
5. It increases your energy level. New research suggests regular exercise can increase energy levels even among people suffering from chronic medical conditions associated with fatigue, like cancer and heart disease. It may seem counterintuitive, but researchers say expending energy by engaging in regular exercise may pay off with increased energy in the long run. (webmd.)
6. Good for skin health. When you sweat, for example, exercise opens your pores -- and it’s clogged pores that cause acne. Exercise also gets your heart rate up, which increases your blood flow and nourishes your skin.
7. Its great for brain health and memory. Exercise increases your heart rate promoting blood flow and gets more oxygen to your brain. It has been shown that cardio exercise can result in new cell growth in the brain. It also helps you to focus.(source)
8. It improves sleep quality. Exercise can help you get into a deeper sleep pattern. (source)
9. It can help reduce chronic pain. Exercise increases blood flow, builds muscle around the joints, lubricates and nourishes the joints, improves range of motion, and removes cellular waste.(source)
10. It can promote a better sex life. Because it strengthens the heart and increases blood flow exercise can improve sexual performance in both men and women.
If you don't have a regular exercise program in place start today with just a short 10 minute walk increasing as your body feels like it. And if you have any health issues be sure to check with your doctor before you begin any exercise routine. I am not a doctor and am not here to treat, cure, or diagnose any disease.

Manifestation
“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he” Proverbs 23:7 Have you really thought about what this verse means? What you think, is what you are. It is really powerful. Have you looked into manifestation?
What we send out returns to us “ask and ye shall receive” Thought and emotions together is what manifests things. I love to listen to podcasts on mindset. It really does affect our world. Just as you can think yourself sick. Have you heard of the miracles of those who have healed themselves with the power of thought?
I love the following by Esther Hicks:
“In the same way that sculptors mold clay into the creation that pleases them, you create by molding Energy. You mold it through your power of focus, by thinking about things, remembering things, and imagining things. You focus energy when you speak, when you write, when you listen, when you are silent and when you remember, and when you imagine, you focus it through the projection of thought.
Like the sculptors who, with time and patience, learn to mold the clay into the precise desired creation, you can learn to mold the Energy that creates worlds through the focus of your mind.
And like sculptors who, with their hands, feel their way as they recreate their vision, you will use your emotions to feel your way to Well-being.”
-Esther Hicks, author of “Ask and it is Given”
In her book Esther Hicks says that the Law of Attraction is simple: Ask, Be open to receiving, Let it go, Receive.
Have you ever been around someone who is extremely negative? You can feel the energy that they put out. After a while it can affect your mood too. Words are powerful. They have their own frequency. They are more powerful than thought. If you say you are something your body will respond and become just that. It is so important to pay attention to how we speak. Do you always tell yourself “I am poor”, or “I am sad” or “I am tired”? If you tell yourself these things your body will respond by making yourself just that. It is so easy to put out the negative thoughts. Try changing those thoughts and see if you notice a difference. Try I am happy, I am vibrant, I am full of energy. It is amazing how powerful words can be. Speak them out loud and they will have a greater impact. Write them down and read them every day.
