Setting up my new sewing space!

My two daughters both moved out of state to attend college this August. This is how I have been consoling myself for the last month. That is my hubby has done much of the work and I have chosen all the fun colors and furniture. :) 

The room before we started. 
New paint makes it cheery and bright! It is Tiffany blue. 

Sewing corner! I put this on the wall with the door so when you look into the room you don't see the sewing mess if there is one. ;)  I have had this sewing unit for many years and it works perfectly for me. It can fold away  into a sideboard. New ironing board cover because everything has to match. I put the ironing board at chair height so I can just swivel and press. Saves my back too! The ironing board and iron have a hanger in the closet for when I am not using them. 
I LOVE this desk shelf unit. The shelf can rotate to make a corner or L-shaped space. My hubby found the chair for me and changed the casters to wood floor friendly ones. It matches so well! Yes, that is the IKEA button rug. It makes me happy.

  
This is how it looks now. I have my favorite hand-made fashion doll on display and all my extra oils where I can see what I have. I found a fun file holder that matches and looks more like a leather bag. My hubby also painted the bottom of my dress form and added casters! It will soon be recovered.
A better view of the shelves. I updated the little chair pincushion on the top shelf to match the new room decor. 

Of course, I had to make a new pincushion to match the room. 

I now have a good working space! The walls need artwork and there are a few other things missing but It is functional, bright and my own space.

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
