Rub a Dub Dub.....Is Cancer in Your Tub?

Do you know what chemicals are in your personal care products? Do you know the effect that these chemicals have on your or your children's body?

To help you understand I am offering a free booklet entitled "Rub a Dub, Dub... Is Cancer in Your Tub" This booklet offers an in-depth view of common ingredients found in shampoos, deodorants, mouthwashes, toothpastes, and other everyday items used in your home that have been scientifically shown to undermine health. This convincing and informative brochure helps you understand the importance of using products made with natural ingredients, such as Young Living's premium products.

To receive your free booklet please e-mail me with "Rub a Dub" in the subject line. Please include your name and shipping address and I'd be happy to mail this right out to you.

Would you like to see how your personal care products rank and how dangerous they are to you and your family? Then head over to The Environmental Working Groups Cosmetic Database I promise you'll be shocked to see what poisons and toxins (such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, DEA, excessive Fluoride, etc.) are hidden in the products you use daily, such as soap, shampoo, rinse, toothpaste, mouthwash, skin cleansers and moisturizers, etc. - that is, unless you are using Young Living Products.

Ask me what Personal Care Products Are Available from Young Living.....

Young Living personal care products and Thieves Household Cleaner contain only natural ingredients. They have no harsh chemicals. None. Never have; never will. They're completely natural, made from only the finest natural ingredients, and enhanced with 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils.

These are products that not only work, they're really good for you too!

Headin' to NYC for an Overnight Getaway - I'm Bringing My Thieves

My darling husband has surprised me with an overnight getaway for our 15th wedding anniversary and my birthday!! I am so excited to head out and leave all our cares behind.

Of course I will be packing my essential oils - I just can't be without them! I will also be packing my Thieves Spray to make sure that I spray all surfaces in the hotel room.

My husband laughs when I do this but honestly, when you read the study done by the researchers from the University of Virginia Health System on the presence of germs in a hotel you'd be this prepared too!

The study found that when a consumer checks into a hotel, many times they find the previous guest has left something behind -- their cold! They found that many objects in the hotel room were contaminated by the previous guests.

Dr. Owen Hendley, professor of pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the UVa Health System said "To my surprise, in a hotel room occupied overnight by an adult with a cold, everything from television remote controls, telephones, light switches and faucets were contaminated with rhinovirus".




Thieves Spray kills germs on contact and its so portable. Take it with you wherever you go and are sure to run into unwanted germs. Thieves essential oil blend has been university tested for its effects against unwanted microorganisms.

Read more about the Thieves product line here..........

I will be prepared not to pick up any unwanted germs on this quick getaway and I most sincerely hope that the next occupant of my bed and breakfast room has some Thieves Spray on hand for their stay because, sadly, I will be arriving with a cold!

Order Thieves Spray here.....

Infants Exposed to Reproductive Toxins from Shampoo, Lotion, and Powder

On February 4, 2008 a study appeared in the journal Pediatrics that showed, for the first time, that infants are exposed to potent reproductive toxins called phthalates from everyday baby products, including shampoo, lotion, and powder. The study found elevated levels of phthalates in the urine of babies who recently had baby products applied to them.

Studies have implicated pthalates as an endocrine disruptor, or chemical that mimics the body's natural hormones, and leads to disruptive effects ranging from cancers to birth defects.

Despite these studies the federal government does not limit their use of pthalates, even though California and some European countries will have restricted their use beginning in 2009. And further, the FDA does not require companies to test thier products for safety; this includes products we use on our babies and children! Often times we blindly trust that if the product is made for children it must be safe.

We must protect our children when we can and replace these toxic products with products that are chemical free. Educate yourself so that you can make wise choices. The Enviornmental Working Group set up a database with vital information on the contents of personal care products. You can check it out here

Young Living's KidScents personal care products are non-toxic and free of the questionable ingredients commonly used in other children's formulations.



KidScents products contain only the highest quality ingredients that contribute to healthier skin and hair along with soothing and calming pure essential oils that help children relax and unwind after a busy day.

Take a look at some of the excellent ingredients in KidScents products:

• MSM -- an organic form of sulfur that is excellent for softening the skin.


• Wheat Germ Oil -- rich, lush oil that is high in vitamins E and B.


• Grape Seed Extract -- one of the strongest antioxidants known.


• Aloe Vera Gel -- has been used to assist healing of the Skin.


• Vitamin E -- protects the skin against oxidative damage.


• Olive Oil -- a moisturizing agent that will not clog pores.

Your Mama was Right and Studies are Proving it…..

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Statistics tell us that only one in four adults eats breakfast and many people are missing out on its important benefits.

Did you know that eating breakfast improves overall nutrition, the ability to concentrate, and the ability to control weight?

Other studies have reported that those who eat breakfast start their day in a better mood, and have more energy to burn. And still other research shows that eating breakfast on a daily basis is one of the most effective ways to lower bad cholesterol (or maintain an already low level) and to reduce the risk of developing hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

Need I go on? By simply adding breakfast to your morning repetoire you can make a great impact on your well being! Be warned though, not all breakfasts will yield the same results.

To make certain you get all the great benefits from your breakfast make sure it supplies at least one quarter of the calories you need for the entire day and that it includes those ingredients that most nutritionists agree make a nutritious breakfast:

1. At least one serving of fiber


2. At least one fruit and/or vegetable


3. Milk or another source of calcium


4. Protein, i.e., from nuts, meat, cheese or eggs

You can make this habit even easier by adding Young Living’s Balance Complete to your morning routine!

Balance Complete is a superfood meal replacement that contains the same NingXia Wolfberries found in Young Living’s NingXia Red Juice. For those pressed for time or wanting something simple and tasty, Balance Complete is quick to prepare while providing you with high fiber and high protein. It contains the good fats, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals needed for a nutritionally dynamic meal.

Ask Me How to get Wholesale Pricing......

I drink Balance Complete most mornings. I mix it with my NingXia Red Juice and Hemp or Almond milk. This is a great way for me to make sure I have my breakfast and it certainly ties me over until I can find a moment to sit and eat. Its cleansing properties are an added bonus too.

Make smart choices to start your day and your body will reward you tremendously!

Beach Bag Essentials - Oils that is!

Ahhh, Summer - its officially here!

Despite the debate as to whether the Summer Solstice (the unofficial mark of Summer's start) is the 20th or 21st of June, I know its here because the kids are finally done with school and my thoughts are turning to lazy days and fun times.

If you live in the proximity of the beach then another unofficial mark to the start of summer is the packing of the beach bag.

My beach bag has expanded to more than one bag over these last few years, heck, just needing 6 beach towels will do that! But for the most part my beach bag still includes the basics with a few extras for the little ones. Gotta keep 'em happy!

Here are some suggestions for a well packed beach bag. Some are no-brainers but there are a few "essential" additions that just might make that trip to the shore a bit more enjoyable:

• Beach Bag - of course, can't pack a beach bag without a bag



• Sunscreen - I know you don't need to be reminded of this however, I did want to point you to a report of the best and worst sunscreens with regard to the amount of chemicals they possess and their effectivness. Take a look at the Enviornmental Working Group's Report they released last year and choose wisely. I think you'll be surprised, like me, to find that 85% of 1,074 sunscreen products they tested had inadequate protection from the sun, or contain ingredients with significant safety concerns.



• Water - goes without saying. Try spiking your water with a couple of drops of Lemon Essential Oil or Peppermint Essential Oil. Both are very refreshing and envigorating. Read how great Lemon water is for you here.



• Snacks - Add some non-perishable high energy snacks in your beach bag and even when the cooler is empty there will be snacks available. I like to keep pouches of NingXia Red, trail mix, or granola bars. I'm going to order the new Manna Bars and add them to my bag. They'd be a good addition as they are loaded with great whole food nutrition and they sound super yummy!



• A Good Read - The beach is a great time to catch up on your reading, so grab something new from the Bestseller List or that book that you've been meaning to read for years. I'm starting my summer reading with Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston.



• Disposable Camera - capture those precious moments without the worry of having your good camera getting ruined.



• Peppermint Essential Oil - great for helping you cool down! Add a couple of drops to your water, rub on your feet, or you can put a few drops on a bandana to wear around the head for summer cooling. Mixing Peppermint and Lavender oil with water makes a very simple and pleasant Cooling Spritz (see recipe below).



• Lavender Essential Oil - Make a Cooling Spritz and Sunburn soother in portable spray bottles and add to your bag (see recipes below). Feeling a little stinky? Apply a couple of drops of Lavender under your arms to use as a portable deodorant. Lavender will not only cover any unpleasant odor, it also prevents the occurrence of odor-causing bacteria.



• Lavaderm Cooling Mist - if you don't want to make your own Sunburn Soother than you can purchase this pre-made skin soother. It includes Lavender Essential Oil and Aloe Vera. Its great as a first aid spray and for soothing bug bites!




If you purchase an Essential 7 Kit you'd have 3 essential oils mentioned in this post.....




• Horsefly Repellent - to me, nothing can ruin my day at the beach more then when those pesky, biting, flies arrive to nibble on our toes, and legs, and arms and well, you get the picture. You can repell them by making a floral water with Idaho Tansy essential oil (see the recipe below). Bathing on the dock of the bay? Then mosquitos may be your problem. Check out my Mosquitoes Bugging You? post for an insect repelling recipe.



• Cornstarch - easliy removes sand from your feet. If you'd like to make it more refreshing add some essential oils (see the recipe below). Please don't use babypowder. Inhaling baby powder has been linked with respiratory illnesses.



• Garbage Bag - please bring an extra bag with you to stash your trash! While you're at it, do what my family does and get each one in your beach party to pick up their trash and one extra piece of trash. The beach critters and us loyal beach goers would greatly appreciate it!

Recipes:

Lavender and Peppermint Cooling Spritz

Add 5 drops Lavender and 1 drop Peppermint to 1 cup distilled water. Spritz on arms and legs to help you cool down. Do not spray near face; if you wish to use this mixture near the face, dampen a cloth and lightly apply to the face.

Sunburn Soother

Add 20 drops Lavender to 1 ounce water and 1 ounce Aloe vera. Spray on affected areas as needed.

Horsefly Repellent

Add 10-20 drops of Idaho Tansy Essential Oil to a spray bottle filled with distilled water. Spray generously on exposed skin being careful to avoid the eyes.

Foot Powder
Measure the cornstarch and pour it into a widemouthed glass jar or a spice powder container. Then add the essential oils. Tighten the cap, and let the foot powder sit for a day. Shake before using.

Chamomile: 20 drops
Clove: 5 drops
Cinnamon: 5 drops
Cornstarch: 2 Tbsp

Foot Powder Recipe from 500 Formulas for Aromatherapy: Mixing Essential Oils for Every Use by Carol & David Schiller, ©1994.

The Lighter Side of Lemon

In my previous post Alkalize with Lemon I spoke about the many health benefits of Lemon Essential Oil . But you should know there is a lighter, more practical side to Lemon and if you have children you will find that Lemon Essential Oil is a must have in your bag of tricks!

Did you know that Lemon Essential Oil is great for getting sticky stuff off of things?

It works great for getting stickers off of purchased items, gum out of hair, and sticky stuff from hands like tree sap from playing with pine cones. Simply drip a drop or two on the area, gently spread around and wipe clean.

In the case of gum in hair, drip a drop or two of the oil on the hair and work in and around the gum. You will see it loosen and you can remove it - scissor free!

How about those annoying "temporary tattoos"? You know the ones I am talking about; the ones that really aren't temporary but instead hang around for a week or so as they slowly fade away. Drip a drop or two of Lemon Essential Oil onto the tattoo, spread it around and then see how quickly it wipes off.


Get Young Living Essential Oils here...

Oh, and don't you love that food coloring that surrounds your child's mouth from the ice cream man's ice pops or those wonderful juices the kids love so much? No amount of scrubbing seems to rid those little mouths of the evidence. Lemon Essential Oil does! Put some on your finger, rub onto the affected area and gently wipe off the evidence.

Here's a good one for you, Lemon Essential Oil removes marker from your child's skin - in our case my son's face.

My son attended a "Pirate" birthday party and he proudly came home with a mustache drawn on his face. It wasn't until later in the evening (he wouldn't let me remove it a moment earlier) that I received a phone call from a mother whose child attended the party and she exclaimed "can you believe the mother used marker on their faces?". She went on to inform me how she had her son in the tub and had been scrubbing his face to no avail. She wanted to know if I was able to get the mustache off of my child. I giggled, pulled out my Lemon Essential Oil and was again amazed at the ease of removal. No scrubbing, no screaming, just the beautiful scent of oil.

How about the inevitable trips to the port-o-john? They're fun huh? I think they are for sure a mother's true nightmare!! If you happen to have a bottle of lemon essential oil with you (because you had it for your water ) take advantage of the antiseptic properties of the lemon and use it to clean your little darling's hands. Just a drop or two rubbed on the hands will be sure to kill any germs they picked up!

"When life gives you lemons make lemonade" couldn't be more true for Lemon Essential Oil!!!

R.C.™ To The Rescue

I love when my essential oils alleviate a symptom or heal me or my family without the use of over the counter medicines or prescription drugs.

When my oils bring comfort to my family it brings me great satisfaction and helps reaffirm, for me, that there are natural solutions that can be used to help my family maintain their health and bring us relief when needed.

Last night my essential oils came to the rescue and brought with it great relief and great satisfaction!!

Last night one of my dear children started in with her allergy related croupy cough. It was a threatening cough and I became concerned for our night ahead and the possibility that I would be waking in the middle of the night to administer a nebulizer to my daughter. Even my husband had that "we are in for it tonight" look on his face as my daughter headed for bed.

I have had great success with R.C.™ and Raven essential oils in the past for congestion issues with my children so I decided to pull out the R.C.™ . I mixed it with some sesame oil and rubbed it on my daughter's chest and back. I then gave her some homemade Honey Horehound cough medicine and silently said a little prayer that sleep would be in our lives this evening.

My daughter settled in nicely and I was very hopeful. About 3 hours into my sleep I awoke to her coughing. I knew in my heart that I needed to either get her more cough medicine and/or put some more oil on her chest and if I didn't, for sure, I would be pulling out the nebulizer to help her breath. I dreaded waking her for this ordeal but if I didn't do something I wasn't going to be able to get myself back to sleep due to my fretting over what was to come.

I decided that I would do the least disruptive solution and that was to set up the diffuser in her bedroom.

Read About Diffusing Here

I added about 20 drops of the R.C.™ oil into the diffuser and started it up. Once the oil began circulating in the room my daughter's coughing stopped immediately and she didn't make another sound the entire evening. When she woke in the morning her cough was no longer a croupy cough but sounded more like a cough that was breaking up. Even better, she barely coughed all day!

R.C.™ is an Essential Oil blend created by Young Living and consists of four different eucalyptus oils and other oils that are perfect for supporting the respiratory system. This oil blend is very beneficial in the diffuser to decongest and relieve allergy-type symptoms such as coughs, sore throat, and lung congestion.

Increase Your Intake of Fruits and Vegetables

A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Cancer Institute revealed that most Americans are not consuming the daily recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables suggested by the USDA MyPyramid diet guideline.

The pyramid is based on age, gender, and activity level but generally recommends that Americans consume at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day as part of a healthy diet. Because of the far reaching benefits that fruits and vegetables provide, most experts in the field of nutrition argue the USDA recommendations are still low. Walter C. Willett, M.D. author of the national bestseller Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating, recommends fruits be eaten 2-3 times/day and vegetables eaten in abundance.

Do a simple Google search using “fruits and vegetables” and it quickly becomes clear why eating fruits and vegetables are so important. I did just this at my favorite health related website (NewsTarget.com) and here is a sampling of the headlines I found:

• Fruits and vegetables can help lower blood pressure



• Fruits and vegetables help protect vision



• Plant- based diet greatly reduces risk of cancer



• Darker fruits and vegetables found to fight colon cancer



• Availability of fruits and vegetables improves the eating behaviors of schoolchildren



• Blue, red, and purple fruits and veggies fight cancer



• Water rich food (read fruits and vegetables) allow people to eat more while losing weight

And the headlines went on and on, for 12 pages to be precise. If you were to read just one of these articles there would be no question as to why increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables is probably the single best thing you can do for your health.

So, we know we need to add more fruits and vegetables but how can you make this work for you? Easy, upgrade your diet by adding one more fruit or one more vegetable into your daily diet. Or, even easier, you can supercharge your upgrade by simply adding one ounce of NingXia Red® to your diet.


NingXia Red is a naturally delicious, nutrient-infused wolfberry drink that will energize, fortify, and replenish your body. Whole Ningxia wolfberries and other nutrient-dense fruit juices, like blueberry and pomegranate make NingXia Red the perfect choice for optimizing wellness and stepping up to a whole new level of health.

Alkalize with Lemon Essential Oil

Have you ever stumbled across something that was so simple to do, that took very little effort to add to your life, and brought great rewards? I love these kinds of moments because simple and me go perfect together. And when these ideas affect my health in a big way, well, for me, its like hitting the lottery!

I have one of those simple ideas for you and the effect it will have on your health is huge! Ready?

Drink a glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice in it every morning. Better yet, drink lemon water throughout your day. What's so great about lemon water?

Lemon water is very alkalizing and when your body is in an alkaline state your body functions more optimally.

Alkalize with 100% Pure Essential Lemon Oil .........

The body's entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. When we ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, excess acid corrodes tissues and organs, which leads to illness, sickness and disease. In addition, acid also provides a favorable environment for harmful bacteria and other micro organism that can damage organs, glands and body cells.

Its nice to know that simply drinking a glass of lemon water can help maintain the alkalinity of the body and ward off the acid that causes so much damage, but there are additional benefits to drinking lemon water. Here are a few:

Benefits of drinking Lemon Essential Oil Flavored Water:

• Cleanses the digestive system and helps eliminate waste products from the body more efficiently.



• It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea from taking place, by ensuring smooth bowel functions.



• Relieves symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching.



• Good Source of Vitamin C.



• Enhances the beauty of your skin, rejuvenating it from within.



• Cleanses and aids in eliminating waste in the liver.



• Helps cleanse the kidneys.



• Eliminates water retention and helps with weight reduction.

• Lemon is antiseptic thereby able to help reduce or prevent infection



• Contains calcium, magnesium, and potassium.



• Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma.



• When served hot, offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C.



• Flushes out body toxins



• enhances concentration and decision making



• contains over 68% d-limonene. D-limonene has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.

Great stuff right? HUGE benefits very little effort. AWESOME!! Add some Lemon water to your life and see if you don't feel the benefits!

You can make this an easy habit to incorporate by using Lemon Essential Oil. A bottle of lemon essential oil is so portable it makes drinking lemon water throughout the day simple and lets face it, it sure beats carrying lemons around with you

In addition to convenience Lemon Essential Oil is concentrated so a little bit goes a long way. You should know that it takes 3000 lemons to produce 1 kilo (2.2lbs) of lemon oil. Imagine how much benefit you'll receive from 1 drop of lemon oil in your water.
