Just some pictures of the lovely mist and heavy frost. <3 It pays to get up with the sun some days just to see how the earth starts its day.

I sat down and calculated what I earned in 2016 in Essential Rewards points from Young Living.     drumroll .... $950.63!  That is $950 of wellness for my family! I also got free products each month as well. I know I got more that $2000 in free items with my monthly orders in the last year.  Are you ready to get your own oil bank? I made this video explaining how ER works in the summer. It gives tips on how to up your PV for more free items and points in the bank as well as how to use the program. :)  Since then Young Living has actually added more benefits for being on the program including higher earn back percentages, and loyalty gifts.  There is even a support on the dashboard called PV assist to help you always order the amount you want. You set the level!  This video explains PV assist.  Start 2017 out by earning towards your family's wellness this year.

Use cornstarch or another natural product our bodies can break down.  Well, it was great advice then and is still is. I have been playing with my dusting powder recipe lately. For years I have just used corn starch.  I have to use a power of some kind, my skin is sensitive and I easily rash (TMI).  I tried adding a tad of baking soda to make it more absorbent and odor fighting. Let me say it was a  big mistake. First, it was grainy and not smooth. Even with just a tsp of baking soda to a cup of cornstarch. Second, my skin hated it, it was irritating for me.  So here is what I have landed on....

Sharing is caring! I love having in home classes and telling others about the benefits of essential oils.  I know that it can be intimidating so I am sharing how I do the basic or 101 class it in my home.  Start with a good diffuser blend. I used a fall scent for the season. This one was orange, clove, cinnamon bark, and pine. Thieves blend  is  good but can cause detox in some so it is one I avoid. Stress Away, Purification, and just orange are all good ones too.  I personally think fresh flowers make a home look inviting. I usually have flowers in my home anyway but I  step it up a notch when I do a class.  I always have food at my classes. Many have food allergies etc. so I usually stick with cheese, fruit, veggies, and do a gluten free cracker. (Pardon the mess, I took the pic before I put away everything.) Fruit-infused water and tea are usually what I offer to drink. I always introduce NingXia juice during the class...
