Make your own Foaming Face Wash

This soap is natural, and can be easily modified for your skin type. It is also very inexpensive!
I bought an inexpensive foaming soap dispenser, but you could just reuse and empty one. Fill it 3/4 full with water.



I chose to use two castile soaps together in my recipe. They are both wonderful for the skin and smell great.  These are Dr. Woods Black Soap, and Dr. Bonners Hemp Rose Soap. 


I added enough to fill the container but leave some room for the dispenser to fit in without over flowing. For my dispenser it was about 6 oz of water and 1.5 oz of soap.   A rule of thumb is 5 to one water to soap in a foaming dispenser. 



You can see it got cloudy once the soap was in. If you do the water then the soap it doesn't over flow with suds!
Now you add the oils of your choice. I added 15 drops of orange oil.  The soap will settle a little so shake it up before using. 

If you have acne prone skin use tea tree, or Purification blend from Young Living. Other essential oils that are beneficial for the skin are geranium, frankincense, elemi, ylang ylang, myrrh, lavender, neroli, and rose. Just make sure the oils and soap scents smell nice together. 

A foaming dispenser is a great way to stretch any expensive soap, and is handy in the shower.

Raindrop Roller

Image
Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

Image
I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain levels, it supports

My Version of the Aroma Lift Massage

Image
Be Kind. I know I am not a super model. I simply don't know of a better way to explain the massage than to show you.  So here it is.  What's the big deal? For me it is an overall smooth youthful appearance. I'm less puffy and my skin seems brighter and tighter. But the biggest thing I have noticed is how it helps with the stiffness I would feel in the back of my neck and along my clavicle. When I feel congested or the beginning of a sinus headache this really helps too!  More info below the video. Remember be gentle! We want to reduce fine lines and heavy handed pulling will be counterproductive. :)  I'm using the Aroma Life blend from Young Living.  I put it in a little roller bottle to make it easier to apply.  This is a great blend to use for any lymphatic massage you may want to try. I have used it to support my lymph system when I had some swelling in my ankles too! Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), marjoram (Origanum majorana), Helichrysum
