Valentines Day chocolates

All the chocolates and candy are so sweet on valentines day but here is a better option that will not leave that icky feeling after all the sweets. Pimples after eating chocolate are not a fun way to remember valentines day. They seem to never go away! Well I have an oil for that :-) A dab of On Guard on a toxin pimple will relieve the pain and get rid of it quickly. Here is a recipe for yummy healthy chocolate you can enjoy all year long with doTERRA essential oils that kick up the health benefits and leave the pimples behind.

1st step
 2 cups coconut oil
4 oz cacao butter
1/3 cup honey
1tbs coconut sugar
1 vanilla bean scraped
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt

2nd step
2-4 drops your choice doTERRA essential oils
1 1/2 TBS cacao nibs separated
1 TBS coconut cream (if desired) great to add for a creamy center. 

Melt some of the coconut oil then put everything in the 1st step list in the blender. This will make white chocolate. Remove about 1/3 cup per batch into a glass small bowl. Add 2-4 drops of doTERRA essential oils in each batch to flavor your chocolate. I used lavender and lemon, pepermint, orange, ginger and orange, cinnamon and cassia, On Guard, and lemon. Try different combinations to see what you like best and make sure you used doTERRA essential oils so you are getting a pure product that has the health benefits. After you make your white chocolates add 1 TBS cacao nibs and blend till smooth. Take out as many batches as you want for your "milk chocolate" there is no milk in it but you could add 1 tbs coconut cream if you feel the need. The rest will be your dark chocolate. Add 1/2 TBS of cacao nibs and blend until smooth. 
Once you have all your molds filled if you have extra place in a bowl and place all in the fridge.  Remove the extra in the bowl once it is hard and let soften about 20 min. Then use a melon baller to make truffles.  You can roll in coconut flakes, cacao power, or whatever you think of. 
Keep chocolates all in your fridge until you are ready to enjoy.

Nails and hair, oh my!

I love long nails! I use to get acrylic but then I had kids, no money,  and no time. So, I lost the nails. Since I have been using the LifeLong Vitality Supplements my nails grow longer and stay strong. The nutrients that my body is getting helps with my nails and hair.  I usually have long hair but every once in awhile I cut it off and start fresh.  The last time I did that I decided to keep it short.  I have to get it cut like every 4 weeks...lol that is just too much upkeep for me. So a little bit long then a cut :-) The LifeLong Vitality or LLV in doTERRA lingo say, are amazing!  They are powder in a gel capsule so your body doesn't need to break down a rock to get the nutrients.  All the nutrients are whole foods so that your body sees it as food and can use it as such. It has a tummy tamer blend that help with all sorts of stomach issues.  In addition to that there are 9 different essential oils on them to help your body work at its best! If you have not tried them they are

Bedtime accidents

My son is 8 years old and he is strong, handsome, has an amazing heart for others,  and active.  Potty training was not that hard, he got the concept and was able to remember to go as long as he was not playing a video game, Boys. :-) At night was a little different he would have accidents at night randomly about 2 times a week and we were never ready for it so it was difficult. We cut back his water intake after dinner and we would think this is the day that he is going to wake up if he needs to go, but it wasn't.  We started to use Cypress oil over his bladder every night and that helped so much! Cypress oil is like a muscle relaxer for the bladder so that in the middle of the night when you get the muscle spasms to go to the bathroom they are not strong enough to push out the urine.  It was amazing! He did not have an accident for months! He was so happy and so grateful one day he came to me and said, "Mom, I am so thankful that God gave us the oils so that I don't have

Oil drop

Our oil display! After many hours of contemplating and discussion we finally have our oil display up! At first the display was going to be a giant tree but as I looked at what it was going to take the idea seemed farther and farther away. We're we going to paint it, do a decal, some giant stencil? We had tons of ideas but the cost moved higher and higher. The Hubby and kids were in our doTERRA room with me talking about what we were going to do on the wall and someone, I think one of the kids, mentioned a drop....what an amazing idea!!! To be honest I have been a little obsessed since we decided to do it. At fist it was going to be floating shelves but I was thinking that it would not be sturdy enough and my Hubby though of a wire to go around the whole drop so it actually looks like a drop...it was a great idea because it really makes it all come together.  There were hiccups along the way like placement of the shelves but in the end it worked out. I am doing a Bib
