Slim Mama

Image
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 ???

Image
 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...

Elk jerky!

Image
 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 of...

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!

Image
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...

Gluten free dairy free Brownies!

Image
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!

Clary Calm my new best friend

Image
                     ****warning! **** Woman monthly issues will be talked about in this post. If you don't want to know don't read :-) Ok now that you have been warned.  I have always had unregular monthly cycles that were long and painful. I was not looking forward to having it again.  I was a surrogate and had twins in December 2012 and have not a cycle yet because I have been pumping for very preemie babies up until 5 days ago. I started my cycle the very next day! I normally don't have a cycle for a couple months after I stop lactating. For me my first cycle is the WORST after lacking and I was worried.  I know Clary Calm has worked for my friends but I have not been able to use it since starting doTERRA because did not have my cycle. I was excited to see how it worked for me. I rubbed it over my ovaries but I had back pain and rubbed it over my lower back. Within mi...

Not so Knotie

Image
We just came back from an awesome visit to see friends in Colorado! As we were driving Allen kept moving his whole upper body to look side to side. I started rubbing his neck down with Past Tense, one of his favorite doTERRA blends,  but it did not released the knots. So we added Deep Blue layering it, Deep Blue then Past Tense. That still did not get out the knots.  Then I thought about all the oils we had talked about at the doTERRA class last night. Balance is one of Chrystal's favorite oils and it is also her friend Pam's favorite oil! So I thought, let's try it! I just did one side from a couple drops out of a sample bottle and he could move again!!! I was amazed! I rubbed it on the other side and at the base of his skull and he had full range of motion! I know Balance is an awesome oil. It helps with emotional and physical balance, anxiety, depression, fear, grief,  sorrow, mood swings, bursitis, confusion, convulsions,  diabetic sores, Grand Mal Seizures, seiz...

Valentines Day chocolates

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.

This will make white chocolate. Remove about 1/3 cup per batch into a g...

Our oil Journey

Image
 Our oil journey started in November 2011 when a friend gave me a tiny sample of Breathe. She saw how much I was suffering from a sinus infection and wheezing that I was plagued with for 6 months! During that 6 months I would take antibiotics but it would just come back stronger than ever. I have also had asthma since I was 13 so I was wheezing horribly even after using my nebulizer. Just by smelling this little bottle of essential oil 10 times I stopped wheezing! I was amazed and wanted to be desperately fixed. I bought a bottle of On Guard because my friend said it kills bacteria and viruses. In 3 days I could taste my food again and in 5 days I was all better! I was so amazed :-) In the next 5 months I used that same 2 bottles to share with everyone who has a sniffle, cough or wheeze. I did not want to jump into another business that was going to cost me more money that I just did not have. When someone wanted to get oils I just referred them to my friend.  Then my friend...
