Oil Life, Happy Wife

Approaching the date of Frog's three year checkup Jason and I decided to tighten up on Leland's gluten free diet. That meant no cheating whatsoever. That may sound easy to some, but you can't really explain to a small child why he can't eat the same foods as his brother. Likewise it's not fair to an older child to have him eat his favorite foods far away from his little brother. We decided though, that it was the right choice despite the challenges. About a week after we started being insanely strict we started to see improvements. Frog began sleeping better and having less stomach problems. His sleep study was scheduled for two days later. It took a while to settle him down, but he actually took the ordeal like a champ. He endured the half hour of hooking him up without much protest. We were instructed that his cannula had to stay in, so I fought with it several times in the night. Aside from some occasional fussing he slept pretty well, just as he had done t...

Why YL Oils Work Better Scented fragrances are everywhere. Most people use them in candles or plug-ins without even considering they might be contributing to headaches, hormone imbalances, and/or depression. The popularity of synthetic fragrances effected the essential oil world. Most essential oils companies have a sweeter smelling aroma to their oils in order to compete with the fragrance industry. YL processes the plant through their distillation stills. That's it. The result is an unadulterated, pure, botanical essential oil. The oil smells the same as the plant. Other companies take that raw oil and distill it additional times to remove the heavier, earthier smelling molecules. You end up with an oil that has therapeutic qualities, but it does not have action as deep or long-lasting as the original, true, un-fractionated oil. Think of the difference between raw coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature, and fractionated coconut oil, which is liquid at room temp...

🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿 Young Living is not just an amazing essential oil company that promotes our health and wellness. It's also how I help support our family. Every time I sign someone up with a starter kit I receive a thank you check from Young Living. We have an assortment of starter kits, but my favorite is the premium starter kit. It contains an awesome diffuser, 12 of our most cherished essential oils, sample bottles we can use to share with others, and samples of additional products to try. When you purchase a starter kit you become a Young Living member. That means you will get all of your products at their wholesale pricing. It also means that if you want to sign someone up with a starter kit, you will receive a thank you check. If you just want to use the items yourself and not share the lifestyle with others, that's ok too. You are never obligated to buy anything else, ever. In addition to all the great things that come in the starter kit, yo...

We've all seen the news about Johnson and Johnson. I don't know about you, but my family has trusted them for as long as I can remember. I have been using their products on my own kids, and their company left me feeling betrayed. Now who can I trust? I trust Young Living because from Seed to Seal they guarantee there are no harmful substances. Having natural products for babies is so important because a baby's skin is 30% thinner than an adult's is. Of the products being sold in stores, 82% of them contain harmful chemicals. That's not okay. YL has the Seedlings and Kidscents lines for our little ones. Don't have little ones? Seedlings baby wipes make perfect non-toxic dryer sheets. Also, the Kidscents shampoo is perfect to shave with in sensitive areas if you know what I mean. 😉 https://www.healthnutnews.com/4-69-billion-verdict-against-johnson-johnsons-talcum-powder/

Let's talk about CBD oil. We have all heard by now that Young Living is working to provide us with quality CBD oil that lives up to our Seed to Seal standards. Recently, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and CBD on a federal level. Unfortunately different states still retain different laws regarding the sale of CBD. For that reason Young Living is working with a retail provider, not an MLM, to offer a quality product to our members. The hemp is being grown in organic fields in Colorado for use by the retailer in the production of CBD oil. This will be THE FIRST ESSENTIAL OIL INFUSED CBD OIL ON THE MARKET! It will be a "controlled broad spectrum oil." Because CBD is still subject to regulation by the FDA, compliance laws will apply. This arrangement with the retailer will be in effect until it is legal in all 50 states. As soon as the laws change, YL is ready with a plan in place to step in and make this ours. For those of you having a hard time picturing what t...

This post is shared from my personal page: 2017- Leland struggled to breathe through hospital visits and FIVE ROUNDS of antibiotics and oral steroids. 2018- In January I used money I had gotten for Christmas to buy a Young Living essential oil kit. I'd tried the oils and knew they were helping. During 2018 Leland needed ZERO antibiotics and ZERO oral steroids. My baby went an entire year above the wellness line. THIS is why Young Living is such a huge part of my life and why I am constantly sharing with others.

Every day I read a new article about a product that my family has used that contains harmful chemicals. As a society, we wonder why cancer and Alzheimer's are so prevalent. We talk about contributing factors like food and water, but have you thought about the moisturizing strip on your razor? I sure hadn't, and I like to think I'm pretty knowledgeable about this sort of thing. Harmful chemicals are in almost everything. They're in shampoo, lotion, baby powder, make-up, perfume, dish soap, laundry detergent, surface cleaner, and so much more. I heard protest that it's such a tiny amount that it doesn't matter. That might be true in a single product. When you count how many of them you come into contact with every day, it's scary. Thankfully, Young Living has products that we can switch to that are not only safe, but health-full. When I wash my hair, clean my floors, and wash my laundry I am giving my body the support it needs to stay healthy. When you recom...
