Here is my 47-year-old self with my "Fast Face" makeup.  I have seen such an amazing difference in my skin, hair, and health since I kicked the toxic products.  What I am wearing:  Art Renewal serum goes on under my makeup "Smashing" on my cheeks "Residual" all over lid color "Crushin" accent lid color on the bone and outer corner of the eye (for a more dramatic look I like "diffused" for the accent and "Crushing for the allover lid" I lined my lips by using the misting spray and blush!  "Wish"   lipstick "Abundant" Lipgloss I seldom wear foundation but I still love the Veil "Diamond Dust" Here is my naked 47-year-old face!

I try to order a new product every month. This is my new oil of January.  I am loving it! Neroli is steam distilled from the bitter orange plant. It has been used for skin care and perfume for hundreds of years.  The scent is light and lovely. I bought it to support my aging skin but it has many other uses too including emotional support. It can be applied directly to the area you want to support. I like to use it in my skin serum recipe. (This is similar to Debra's Drops of Gold recipe. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the page. I modified it to the oils I have and you can too.) Right now I don't have Rose or 3 Wise Men, so I used the neroli and myrrh; about 10 drops each.  A few other oils that are great for your skin are Elemi (Franks less expensive cousin), Bergamot, and Ylang Ylang.  Use the serum nightly on your freshly cleansed skin, then apply any other moisturizers, if needed, once it has soaked in. ...

Let's start by saying I am no beauty guru and I am coming from the perspective of someone closer to 50 than 20.   Our beauty routine can be one of the most toxic things we do to ourselves! Sadly, many of the products meant to help keep us looking young and vibrant are actually working against us. That is why I LOVE Young Living and all their wonderful products!  This lovely box was a little gift for myself. I ordered it during the Balck Friday - Cyber Monday specials. It is the Savvy Minerals Holiday Collection #21952.   The packaging is so nice! I didn't even realize how wonderful the items would be.  This is my makeup box. I don't wear makeup every day, but I like options. This one opens up and has my creams, deodorant etc. down underneath.  This is the new Rocking lip color that came with my holiday kit. It isn't available for a single purchase yet.  Look at that light up lid! What I am weari...

I posted recently about the Raindrop Roller and how we use it to keep above the wellness line. Today I want to share our other favorite product that promotes wellness, Inner Defense softgels. This simple supplement had been a mainstay in our house for a few years. If anyone starts to drop below the wellness line they get a softgel. Depending on what their fighting we take up to 3 a day. That combined with Thieves oil, and/or the Raindrop roller and we are back up to wellness in no time.  What is in it? How much does it cost?  If you are a wholesale member of Young Living it costs about 90¢ a softgel! If you really want a 1- 2 punch for wellness add the Life 9 probiotic and give your immune system a big boost! I have a child with a suppresses immune system who cannot have any over the counter meds or most prescriptions due to a drug interaction. If it weren't for the natural options he would have to live in a bubble. BUT, he doesn't. He d...
