Mama has an oil for that

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 ...

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! 

                     ****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...

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...

 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...
