 Sharing what works for me and loving on others.
I pray you will be blessed!
 



Hey there! :)
God has created so many neat things for our health and pleasure.
I'm so glad you've come to learn more about them!

I'm Diana,  homeschooling mama of seven.  While it is sometimes chaotic (like quite often, haha), I love bringing my children into my world whether it be out in the garden or by my side learning to crochet.  Life is full of blessings for everyone.  We can be more JOYFUL people when we intentionally look for them and praise God for the beauty in the simple things He gives us every day!

Truly pure essential oils are one of those blessings...tools the Lord has given us for our good and to help us in so many ways! Young Living has been used mightily in our lives! Oregano oil was the first game-changer for me. It worked so well I never went back to my old toxic ways.  Every person in my family has been impacted for the better and I want to spread that message so others can experience the blessing too!  

Besides UN-adulterated essential oils, YL also has loads of oil-infused toxin-free products to help break the chains from personal care products that have caused many to have hormonal issues, increased cancer risk, depression, behavioral issues, etc.

I love having FRUGAL natural alternatives to keep my family well and am here to help, edify, and empower others <3
Have fun looking around! Check out the blog articles, click the website learning links at that top, and take advantage of our free classes (sent directly to your email for fast viewing at any time.)
