Slim Mama

I think the biggest question from nursing moms is, "will oils will effect milk supply." Well....yes they can. They can support the supply, make no difference, or they can hinder it. Everyone is different so what hinders one may not hinder another. I have found that peppermint, ginger, and yarrow internally can hinder my milk supply. I still need to support my digestive system and this is the blend that allows me to support both my milk supply and keep my digestive system engaged so I can get back to pre-pregnancy weight.  In a 40oz bottle of water 2 drops lemon EO 2 drops Grapefruit EO 1 drop Pink Pepper EO 1 drop cinnamon EO I drink this 2 - 3 times a day #pregnant #pregnancy #baby #mom #mama #myjourney #prebabyweight #prebaby #weight #slimandsassy #alternative #itfits #digestion #drink #water #thebestme #mamahasanoilforthat

Want to be #real ???

 This is me  This is real!  Now I dont ever post pics of my body but this is it. #mombod I have birthed 7 children including twins and it has done a number on me. I have also not been kind to my body for a good portion of my life. I don't want that any more! I want to love the skin I am in. I want to feel good in it. I want my body to work like it should!  It has been 17 months since my last baby and that pooch right there that is poking out the farthest has not gotten any better....well the massive bruising that the doctor caused across my belly is gone thanks to Helichrysum, frankincense, Deep Blue and time. I lost 20 pounds but my muscles are not back to normal and my ability to move my body how I use to is not there yet either. I pray it will be one day. I am focused on what I am putting in my body, what is good and not good for me with lab tests and listening to what my body is telling me. I will never be perfect but I want to live life to the fullest and one doctor

Elk jerky!

 So easy to make! You can do this with any meat. I like to use lean meat. Freeze your meat and let thaw about half way and you will be able to cut thin slices easily with a sharp knife.  Spray with essential oils and water then salt with Real Salt. I used my Italian blend for this. Put in your oven on a wire rack at 170° F for 10 mins then turn off. Leave in for a few hours then turn over and do it again leaving it for 1 more hour. Spray again and salt then store in a bag in the fridge. Great to bring whenever you are on the go.  #meat #carnivorediet #carnivore #salt #realsalt #jerky #beefjerky #sensitivity #oregano #marjoram #thyme #lime #huntingfood #liveofftheland #elkjerky #elk #elkmeat #mamahasanoilforthat

What is an essential oil? We hear about essential oils but do we really know what they are or what they can do for us? For most of us it is a big fat NO! I get it before learning about dōTERRA I had never even heard of essential oils. And to be honest with you if someone had rambled on about the chemical composition and big word this and big word that I would of just kept on going. I am so glad my friend did not do that she simply opened the bottle and let me smell some awesomeness!  I could feel the oil work as soon as I breathed in.... this, this right here is changed my life. I was so up set that no one had ever told me about oils and I dont want some one to be upset with me later because I did not tell them about what they can have in their home for every health. This is why I share. So that the new Mom can get some rest and so can their little baby who has an ups set tummy , or a big little guy gets a scrape and just needs a little Mama love and a oil before running off to

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

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

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
