Choosing the Best Carrier Oil 2

It’s fun to create our own creams and lotions, and doing so is a wonderful way to individualize them for our own skin type and personal use, or to make gifts for others, while avoiding all the harmful chemicals found in manufactured items. Your skin is like a great big sponge and absorbs EVERYTHING that you put on it, or emmerse yourself in. Give some thought into choosing the best carrier oils for your skin type for best results and absorption. When mixing a carrier oil with essential oils meant for topical use, depending on what you’re using it for, you’ll want to tailor it to your individual skin type. I love making my own products as it allows me to know exactly what’s going onto, and into my body. During the winter, when skin can get dry, making my own body butter makes a huge diffence in my skin … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Making Healthy Choices- HEALTHY BEVERAGES

In today’s toxic world, if you want to live life to its fullest then you need to be making healthy choices in many areas of your life. Some of the simplest ways to do this is to make sure that you are eating whole foods and drinking healthy beverages, ones that aren’t over-processed, denatured, full of sugar and loaded with toxic-chemicals or pesticides. When you supply your body with what it needs it will respond in positive ways. It really is very simple, it just isn’t necessarily easy. We’re all creatures of habit and most of us find it difficult to break old patterns especially ones that have been ingrained in us for many years, but it can be done. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you have trouble giving up sugar. Did you know that studies show that sugar is just as addictive as cocaine… yep, that’s right! … Continue reading →

knowledge is power HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS

If you want your body to operate at optimum levels you should learn a little about human body systems and how to support them. One of the ways to support the body is to create an environment and a diet that nourishes and feeds the body, while also removing as many toxins as possible, reducing stress, limiting your use of drugs and alcohol, and getting enough sleep. The body constantly rebuilding and replacing cells but needs the right environment to do so with optimum results. Doing all of this can help you create a better environment that support your body’s natural functions, which can provide you with a better sense of health. Knowledge in and of itself isn’t power. It’s only when you take action based upon your knowledge that it becomes a useful tool. Learn more about the various human body systems, what they are, how to support them, … Continue reading →

Let 2016 be the year that you awaken to a new you and begin living a more natural, healthier lifestyle… one infused with Young Living essential oils. With a new year upon us, I want to challenge you to either begin incorporating them into your everyday life, or for those of you already using them, to consider using them in ways that you may not have thought of yet. With millions of people across the globe now using pure, genuine, unadulterated essential oils and tens of thousands of published research studies I’d have to say the jury is no longer out on determining if essential oils are beneficial or not. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly speaking out of ignorance. SETTING GOALS AND NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS Many people find themselves setting goals and making new years resolutions at the beginning of each year. According to the University of Scranton’s Journal … Continue reading →

12 Days of Christmas DIY Body Lotion Bars

This is day three of the 12 Days of Christmas DIY Recipes series, showing you how to use your essential oils and make your own essential oil infused gifts. Today’s project focuses on showing you how to make beautiful, luxurious body lotion bars. I’ve tried making homemade lotions before but have to say, I prefer body lotion bars over lotions. I’m hooked on them! Unlike lotions, lotion bars don’t require the addition of any emulsifying ingredients like homemade lotions do, which can be tricky. Lotion bars are solid at room temp, but when rubbed on your skin the heat from your body melts it leaving a thin layer of moisturizing ingredients clinging to your skin. Making homemade toiletry items gives me the ability to determine what goes into them and allows me to fine tune the final product to meet my needs at the time. It allows me to avoid … Continue reading →
