Oil drop

Image
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'...

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 yo...

Infertility

I have had 5 children 2 my own and 3 as a surrogate.  If you look at our family you would never think that we have struggled with infertility. I had 5 years of unprotected sex before we conceived our first child. Then 3 years between the second. It was 4 years between my second and the 1st surrogate.  Then a year between the 2nd surrogate.  One reason why I wanted to be a surrogate is because I knew the pain of not being pregnant.  The main reason was that I felt God told me :-) I think God put that pain in my life to drive me to do what he wanted. It worked. Ok so how does doTERRA works into this story? Well. Good question! You have seen my post about Candida and the clense that I did where I lost weight,  got rid of my asthma,  and am overall healthier. So one of the things that Candida can cause is infertility.  I am happy to say that I am no longer infertile!  I know it is an answer to prayer but I also know that cleansing my body ridding it o...

This came out so yummy! 1/4 cup dry organic black beans 1/4 cup organic red quinoa 1/4 cup organic green lentils 1/4 cup coach's oats (if you want to be super safe from gluten replace with quinoa) 1 tbs Chia seed 1/2 Baking powder (aluminum-free) Mill all these in a Vitamix grinder until  the  consistency of flour.  Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder to the mix In your regular Vitamix container or other blender....Vitamix is best ;-) 2/3 cup honey...you could switch out half for coconut sugar, I did not have any :-( 4 eggs 1 banana 1 apple 1/3 cup coconut oil Add your 3 drops of favorite essential oil pepermint, orange, cinnamon, cassia, or Onguard are all great choices! Then add dry into wet and blend together. Rub a tbs of coconut oil in the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 min or until most of the top of the brownies are not wet looking.  When it is just a small wet spot in the middle it is done. I used a 9x9 glass pan. You could use ...

Natural hair care does not work....or so you thought!

Image
Have you ever choked yourself on your hairspray? It is so nasty! There is a better way! 1 tbs sugar in 2 oz water with 4 drops wild orange and 2 drops frankincense. The wild orange smells amazing. It is uplifting and energizing, just what you need in the morning when you are getting ready. The  frankincense  is good for everything, especially mood, so this is a great combination. You can use whatever oils that brings you joy. You need a fine mist spray bottle.  Dissolve the sugar in the water over heat. Do NOT let it boil. Cool your mixure. Add your essential oils in your spray bottle then pour in your sugar water mix. This works so well! I even used it on my daughter for her Allstar cheer competition and everything stayed in place better than regular hairspray! I can't believe I never knew there was a way to get the chemicals out and still have great results! It is amazing! Not a hair out of place even after winning the National Championship!
