Hello friends. Today is a great day to have a great day no matter what comes your way.
That being said, life is amazing, especially when you focus on the blessings of it all
Life happens.
That being said, when it happens in ways we don't expect we have 2 choices. We can roll with it, or get flustered and upset over it. It's a choice. We can react, or respond. Huge differences between the two. ❤️
Reacting is usually not pleasant to you or your body. It's usually a triggered reaction from something we've supressed instead of dealt with. Responding, takes a breath first then realizes stuff happens and more will happen too. All of it happens for you and your benefit. *Life happens for you, not to you. Let me say that again, Life happens FOR you, not TO you. That's right, ❤️
Learning that the peace in life is found in the present moment. Not in the past things we coulda done, shoulda done or woulda done. It's not in the future of how we think things should work out could work out or can work out. That's the joy of the present. It's right now. It's the only place we can be calm, cool and collected. The present moment is the only thing we have active control over anything. Our reactions. period. Life is gonna keep happening, and it's never gonna go as planned, so stop getting pissed or disappointed when it goes different than you wished. It's happening for you. ❤️
Now on another note, a great way to help yourself stay in the present is with taking time each day to consciously. be present. AKA meditation, Learning to focus your thoughts on your breath. One breath at a time. I love to use my oils while I meditate for a deeper peace. Did you know essential oils actually affect the limbic system (our emotions) in so many ways. That's why smelling things brings back memories. Now to create new memories and intentions by bringing these scents into your meditation to train your brain to relax when you smell them. Try it, it works. Some of my favorite oils to meditate with are palo santo, believe, grounding, frankincense, and present moment. But as we are all so different, the choice is up to you.

Your mixture is ready when you can mold it into a shape and it sticks without coming apart. If it is too crumbly, add in water, 1 tsp at a time. Mixture should be dry but able to hold a shape. To shape your bath bombs either pack them into your molds or a large ice cream scoop. Leave in the molds overnight, then remove carefully and place on a baking sheet to dry.

Hey there, I hope this new year is bringing a renewed sense of peace and prosperity to your lives. I'm not one to make resolutions, but I do go in the new year with a clean slate. A do over. A new reminder to keep the promises made to myself like the promises I make to others. Also taking responsibility to share with others the transformation that our lives have had since taking the natural route in our home.
If you don't already know, it's flu season. This is a time where my family keeps above the wellness line by properly supporting our body with nutrition, oils and supplements. One of my favorite supplements is Inner Defense. It's full of things our body needs to support a healthy immune system all in an easy to take capsule. I take it at the first sign my body is feeling off, it works great. Ningxia red and Master Formula vitamins are also on the daily routine here. Using essential oils all day on my body, many times a day also boosts my body's ability to ward off the yukkies. Don't forget to get enough rest and listen to your body. Prevention is best.
This month I am super stoked and grateful for everyone on this journey of wellness alongside me. Thank you.

Well Hello!
It's that time again. Time to send the children back to school and time for fall leaves and pumpkin spice everything. This is my favorite time of year for many reasons. First one, is my birthday month! It's a time to reflect on the blessings life gives and be thankful for what's to come! I also love the second half of the year because the sweltering heat is passing, but it's not cold yet, perfection. This year is especially amazing because my little man started middle school and he loves it! Fall is a time for growth and change. What's changing in your life? What are you working on?
I wanted to share this months freebies with you because, well, they're amazing, as always! This month they are giving us all the things for this time of year. Getting prepared for the school year and all the immune support! I love the little thieves purifier holders. So perfect for your littles to bring to school or even gift the teachers with! Super C is a necessity now and always. Vitamin C is instrumental in keeping a healthy body. It's a fantastic antioxidant and also infused with essential oils for even better absorption. Now, we can't leave out the rockstar, Thieves Roll-on! What! This is awesome. Immune support on the go. Citrus fresh for the fresh air we crave. Then last but not least, the tummy aches that come along with school, or not wanting to go, well, there's an oil for that and it works wonders. This is the one specifically made for kids so feel confident that you're doing the right thing to support their little body.
I wanted to give you a few awesome simple recipes to make sprays you can use in many areas of life. If you're a DIY'er or not, these are super easy and work so well.
This month also was our quarterly YL Rally and they released so many new Vitality oils for the kitchen as well as some other great new items. Check them out in the virtual office in the what's new section! click here We also had a special release of our French Lavender and it's amazing! I snagged a bottle, did you? I also grabbed my 25th annual Convention oil blend and let me tell you, it's full of amazing high energy happy facial oils and I'm in love!
Amazing! If you are in this for the lifestyle changes, I would love to hear some of your testimonials on the way YL has impacted your life.
