My ResOILution - Day 5

 School is back in session, and apparently so is sickness.  Goodness, I know of way too many families passing it from one member to the next right now.

When people ask me what they can do to prevent or stop it, Thieves is hands down the first oil that comes to mind.  Try applying this oil to the bottoms of feet to boost immune systems (a roller is a great way to go!) and diffuse daily before and after school too.

If you were visiting our home around 4:12 in the afternoon (right when my daughter walks in the door after school), I can just about guarantee a few things:

1. I'm telling my daughter to wash her hands before heading past our back entryway.

2.  Our diffuser is running with Thieves in it (and sometimes I add oils such as Orange to mix it up)

While I can't guarantee total health as a result of using essential oils, I can tell you that my family is on our second sickness-free winter, and I don't think it's a coincidence.  These small, daily proactive things we do have made a world of difference for us.

If you're tired of dealing with sickness and are ready to be more proactive with your health, email me at jill.meulenberg@gmail.com, and I'll send some information your way!

My ResOILution - Day 4

 Feeling a little stressed about today?  Open up a bottle of Stress Away and apply to your wrists, shoulders or neck for a calming effect.  I keep a roller top on my Stress Away bottle which makes it extra easy to apply.

Stress Away is a blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea + Lavender.  I've yet to meet someone who doesn't looove the smell of this oil!

I keep a bottle of Stress Away right in my purse, and often apply it as my perfume, simply because I like the scent that much.  One morning a week I teach Bible STudy, which to be honest takes me waaaay out of my comfort zone.  So I always say a little prayer + a swipe of this on my wrists before heading in for that extra calm I'm in need of.

My ResOILution - Day 3

It's Day 3 of our My ResOILution Series, and today go ahead and get out your Peppermint Oil. Peppermint is so useful for aiding digestion. If you eat a little too much today, (or maybe too much of the wrong thing), try a drop of Peppermint on your abdomen, or in a cup of tea to calm that tummy down.

Peppermint is one oil that I *always* have in my purse for when an upset tummy starts, but when I'm at home, I add it to my tea.  (Don't hate, but no coffee for me thankyouverymuch!)

I add one drop to the tea bag before adding it to the hot water, as it gives the oil something to "cling" to.  Do you have a favorite type of tea you drink?  I'm always looking for new, yummy ones!

My ResOILution - Day 2

On Day 2 of our My ResOILution Series, try rubbing 1-2 drops of Lavender on your wrists before heading to bed. For a little extra, apply it to the back of your neck or diffuse it next to your bed.

When bedtime is approaching, and my 5:25AM wake up call for 6AM boot camp means once my kids are in bed, I'm not much far behind!  We have diffusers in each of our bedrooms (or confusers as my 4 year old would call it) and Lavender is a nighttime staple for us.

Sweet dreams!

(And kudos to the person who can spot the other Young Living products in this photo!)

My ResOILution - Day 1

It's a new year, and we're starting a new series here to help you all dig into your Young Living Essential Oils. I'll be posting a little tip every day, something really simple that I KNOW you can do, to help you familiarize yourself with your essential oils (because remember, they're not doing you ANY good sitting all lined up in their box!)

 On Day 1, go ahead and get out your Lemon oil and add a few drops to your diffuser. Your kitchen + home will have the most clean + fresh scent (which I'm pretty sure all of our homes can use at the end of the holidays, right?)

I have a bottle of Lemon that sits right by my kitchen sink, I often add it to our kitchen diffuser, and add it to my drinking water every day.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Let's strive to make this our healthiest year yet!

Essential oils are the absolute best tool we can use to support our bodies and help them to function properly. With consistent use, this can be the year of staying ahead with your health and wellness, rather than simply managing symptoms. I would encourage each of you to think of one way you can incorporate oils into your daily routine and begin there. Whether it's immune support, digestive support, or a need for better sleep. Maybe it's eliminating chemicals in your home or looking for a way to improve your focus and concentration. Start small and let your daily oils routine grow from there.

 Ready to get started on a healthier 2016?

Now through January 9, sign up and order a Premium Starter Kit,

and I will credit $20 to your account to use on any future purchases!

Included in the Premium Starter Kit are 11 of the most commonly used oils + a diffuser + a collection of samples of Young Living's other products.  By ordering, you will have access to a private Essential Families Facebook group where we offer educational resources + weekly online classes. I promise to support you and be there to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Young Living Foundation

Since many people have charitable giving on their minds these last few days of the calendar year, I wanted to highlight what I think is one of the absolute coolest things about Young Living, the Young Living Foundation.

 

The Young Living Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization where 100% of the Foundation's administrative costs are covered by the Young Living company. This means that every.single.penny of a donation to the Foundation goes directly to it's global projects and partnerships.

The Young Living Foundation has partnered with organizations such as Sole Hope in Uganda and the Maestral Orphanage in Croatia. The Young Living Foundation also began the Young Living Academy in Ecuador, which currently educates 300 students, grades K-12, and they would love to see it continue to expand. Two of our Essential Families team members were blessed to the academy this Fall, and it was SO amazing seeing the photos and videos of their time there.

I'd encourage you to click here and read more about the incredible work happening through the Young Living Foundation.

 

Did you know that you can donate simply by rounding up your essential oils order to the nearest dollar?  Next time you place place an order, look for the box you can check to take advantage of this giving opportunity.
