Question! Are you a Trendy shopper? Lets explore a few trends going on. Right now, Stanley drink cups are all the rage. Not sure why because they have been around a long time. Then you have the Large Rubber Beach totes. Many of my friends own them and love them. And of course the ever popular synthetic weight loss drug "Ozempic". It is all the rage wlth celebrities as they try to maintain a size 2 figure. So, years ago essential oils were all the rage. To be honest it took me a year to hop onto the bandwagon. But once I tried them I realized why they were so popular. Natural health trends seem to come and go. I have watched people drop essential oils and move onto collagen. For the past year the talk has been companies selling collagen and collagen based products. Some of these products have really helped people. So it was not a surprise to me when I see people hopping onto the newest trend of "mushrooms" and "mushroom" supplement /extracts. Now, I will be honest I do not know much about mushroom supplements. I understand that these supplements are great as brain food. And honestly unless Young Living comes out with something containing mushrooms I will probably never try it. There is also mushroom coffee. Ugh!
So why have I stuck with Young Living and essential oils for so long? Honestly their essential oils work. I love the smells {well there are a few my nose cannot handle) and how they support every system of my body. I love all the Thieves products. Using Thieves cleaning products makes my home smell GREAT. Thieves products keep me safe from many seasonal "bugs". And of course I have a GREAT affection for Ninxgia Red and Ninxgia Greens. Essential oils give me emotional, and sleep support. The list of support could go on....and on.
So are you a Trendy shopper? Do you try all the NEW health products coming out? What about collagen and mushrooms? Are Essential oils a thing of the past? Lets talk! Inquiring minds want to know.....
It is time for another true story. On Wednesday last week I called my friend Michele and could hear in her voice how sick she was.. She had a summer cold. Well, she uses essential oils so I asked her if she had tried the Seasonal Essentials oil. She had not! So the next day I was near her house and dropped off a sample of the oil. That night she texted me saying how phenomenal the oil was. She wanted to add it to her monthly order. That was on Thursday. I called her on Saturday just to check on her and she was 99% better. She sounded great and I was stunned at how much better she was. The great news is that essential oils really do work. And the Seasonal Essentials oil is a must have in your wellness cabinet.

Last week I started the 14-day Reset with Ninxgia Red. So far I am loving it. I have lost 3lbs and feel so much better. What is the 14 day reset? Here is a simple explanation:
The 14-Day Reset is made up of 5 things that you do daily:
1. Drinking NingXia Red - the superstar antioxidant drink!
2. Drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water
3. Eating clean & eliminating inflammation-causing foods
4. Move your body at least 30 minutes - any way you want!
5. Intentionally reducing & managing your stress
This reset has been extremely popular. And guess what. There is a 14 day reset kit. This kit is a $249 value but you get it for $129. Here is a link:https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/product/make-a-shift-reset-kit
I Love Young Living. They are always innovative and create products that my body needs. So....... what does your body need?
Well, I hear this too much lately, it's heredity! Recently my sister had a Calcium Heart test. It came back positive for calcium build up in heart arteries. She has a higher risk of a heart attack from blocked arteries. And the cause is "heredity." So it was decided that I should have a calcium heart test by my doctor. Yes, my test came back saying I was at a higher risk for heart attack from blocked arteries. Yikes! I would have never known. My cholesterol numbers are great. My sisters cholesterol numbers are better than mine. And guess what. We both have calcium build up in our heart arteries. But it only gets better.....
Calcium build up in arteries is treated one way. With a statin drug. Ugh! My husband has been on a statin drug for 20 years. They are not fun. So far my doctor has had me on Lipator and Crestor. Well I do not do synthetic drugs well. I went off the Lipator after three weeks and the Crestor after one week. The side effects were awful. I was nauseated the whole time. My muscles hurt the whole time and I became so weak that I could hardly walk up the stairs. There are other statin drugs with less side effects but for some reason my doctor will not put me on those. So....i decided to go off the drug and make an appointment with him to discuss alternatives.
In the mean time, I am taking a supplement for heart support by Young Living called Cardiogize. K2 is a good supplement for heart issues and Cardiogize contains it. I feel so much better being a part of a company that supports all of my body systems. Young Living is so consistent in supporting all my needs. Are you part of a company that provides all your body needs?
By the way, my dad was 89 years old when he died....of a stroke. My mother died of dementia. As far as we know they had no coronary artery disease. But my dads brother died of a massive heart attack at 49. And my dads sister died of a heart attack. She was 80. What is in your family's health history?

I wrote a few months ago about my favorite products for 2023. I did have some honorable mentions and one of those is Young Livings Beauty Boost. Let me share why! As I get older, my face is sagging more and there are more fine lines around my mouth, eyes and face. Now the chances of me having a face lift is very small (like never). So after watching many Youtube videos, I decided to use the CBD Beauty Boost with a Gua Sha tool that I had purchased years ago. Yes, you read it correctly. Years ago.....
Gua Sha became popular over 2 years ago. So....in following with the masses I bought a Gua Sha tool with a Jade Roller. I played with it over several months and then put it away. Well my interest was renewed when I saw my face becoming very droopy. So in October I watched a Gua Sha video and decided to give myself 6 months with 5 minutes a day and see how I felt. I already had some Beauty Boost. So I began my skin adventure.
Well I did not take a good before picture, but I do have one. Maybe one day. But I can honestly say it has made a difference. My face is looking better. Less lines and less sagging skin. I take 5 minutes a day and work with the tools on my skin. I sometimes do it twice a day. I love the roller under my eyes has a very cooling effect. I love Beauty Boost which works really well with the tools. The whole process is an easy 5 mins.
I encouage each of you to consider Gua Sha and Beauty Boost. I have a link to a Gua Sha video and to the Beauty Boost. I got my tool off of Amazon. It is by DECINIEE and is on sale for $9.99. The link to the tool is long so I did not share it. But you can go on Amazon and easily find it.
Also, if you are new to Young Living and sign up for our GREAT rewards program, you can earn a FREE diffuser.It is a win, win. Ask me about it.
Happy Gua Sha!
