Essential oil Experiment

Okay don't be fooled even with all the wonderful things I have in my bag of tricks such as essential oils, foot zoning and herbs to name a few, we still come down with the occasional illness at our house.  Tonight my oldest little boy has a bit of a fever, so I took his temp, 101.6,

 applied my favorite fever reducing oils, Lavender and Peppermint,

 and waited about 45min to an hour to retemp, and here are the results.

I can't even tell you how much I love using oils.  This is pretty much amazing in my opinion.   What results have you seen with essential oils?

Essential Oil of the Week & GiveAWAY!!!

On Guard™
Protective Blend

Today the oil that I want to share is OnGuard, it is a fantastic oil that is great for the winter time season.  Not only does it have that fantastic wintertime smell of cinnamon and orange, but also a great oil to fight the colds and flu!  The oils in this blend are known for their strong abilities to kill viruses, bacterias and even mold.  You can diffuse it into the air, apply it topically or use it to clean household surfaces.

I am doing a random giveaway just post a comment and you are entered.  I will be giving this away on December 5.  On post per person please.

Wild orange essential oil, combined with clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support.

doTERRA Slim & Sassy

 This is one product that I use pretty much every day.  I am not overweight, but would like to loose a few extra baby pounds that I have picked up over the year (yes I blame them on my pregnancy, which probably isn't the case but I have to have a good excuse right.)  Well doTERRA like all companies has seen that the majority of Americans are overweight if not obese.  This is a huge problem as it puts undue stress on many of the organs, bones and muscles in our bodies.  Well they formulated this blend that not only helps with our weight problem, but also helps to curb our appetite or addiction for sweets, it helps to regulate our blood sugar, it helps to cleanse and detoxify our body, it helps us to have more energy (this one is huge for me as I am a mother of 2 very busy boys) and on top of these things that they created it for people are finding improvement elsewhere as well.  Some of the things people are finding as they use this regularly are ease of pains especially those with fibromialgia, and improved digestion.  I have been using this product for a while now and have found that when I use it regularly I notice it helps with my energy and weight loss.  In the webinar Dr. Hill suggests taking 3-6 drops 3 times a day, but do what feels right for you.  I have been taking it in capsules, Justin Harrison one of the leading IPC's with doTERRA takes his right on his tounge, and Dr. Hill takes his in his water.  With so many ways to use this product try them all and see what works best for you.  This is currently the #1 oil seller with doTERRA.

dōTERRA®'s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of 100% pure CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals.

doTERRA Skin Care

Just wanted to share I have been using this since about April, and at first I really didn't like it much, but I think there may have been a few things to take into consideration.  I had just started back on my birthcontrol pill so I think my hormones were way out of wack and didn't help.  I also was cleansing and as we all know when we cleanse some of the ick that we are flushing out of our system comes out through our skin.  Well I kept with the stuff since I had paid for it, and after using it for a couple of months have started to notice a difference in my skin.  It has helped with my blemishes, it has helped to reduce the appearance of fine lines, my poors have gotten smaller, and overall I have felt better about my skin.  I have used several skin care lines such as clinique, mary kay, sense, and now doTERRA, and have to say that I really love the doTERRA skincare line.    Let me share with you a little bit about each product. 

First is the Cleanser

Facial Cleanser

With dōTERRA® Facial Cleanser, CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils of melaleuca and peppermint gently cleanse, lifting away impurities and leaving your skin feeling clean, fresh, and smooth. Cruciferous vegetable extracts also work to inhibit skin irritation and reduce oxidative stress to skin cells.
Retail: $22.00
Preferred Customer: $18.15
Wholesale:  $16.50




Second is the Scrub (I really love this since you don't feel like you have just scrubbed your face with sandpaper, but really feel like you have exfoliated afterward)

Invigorating Scrub

Invigorate and energize skin while exfoliating and polishing using this aromatic scrub. CPTG® essential oils of grapefruit and peppermint make the exfoliating step of your beauty regimen a refreshing, aromatic experience. Jojoba and cruciferous vegetable extracts leave skin protected and smooth, while other cutting-edge ingredients work to prevent irritation and the proliferation of skin discoloration.
Retail:  $24.00
Preferred Customer: $19.80
Wholesale:  $18.00

Pore Reducing Toner.  I have noticed the pores around my nose and on my chin are noticeably smaller since I began with this.  I actually loved it so much I ran out of this before anything else.

Pore Reducing Toner

Formulated to visibly reduce the size of pores, dōTERRA Pore Reducing Toner contains CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils of lavender, ylang ylang, and german chamomile which work with cutting edge ingredients to calm sensitive skin, inhibit skin irritation, and reduce oxidative stress to skin cells.

Retail:  $23.33
Preferred Customer:  $19.25
Wholesale:  $17.50


Next is a miracle product.  The tightening serum, this is great for the under eye saggys and the fine lines.

Tightening Serum

Featuring CPGT® essential oils of frankincense, sandalwood and myrrh in generous proportion, dōTERRA® Essential Skin Care Tightening Serum is scientifically formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promote skin hydration. Tightening Serum tightens and smoothes skin naturally, providing both significant short-term and long-term tightening benefits, as well as increasing skin clarity for firmer, younger appearing skin.

Retail:  $66.00
Preferred Customer:  $54.45
Wholesale:  $49.50

And last but not least is the anit-aging moisturizer.  This smells fantastic and is not really oily and greasy like some moisturizers.

Anti-Aging Moisturizer

Cutting-edge ingredients combine with the CPTG® essential oils of lavender, jasmine, geranium, and frankincense to provide an anti-aging moisturizer that does more than moisturize and soften skin. Anti-Aging Moisturizer will target the visible signs of aging--improving skin elasticity and tone, reducing the appearance and number of wrinkles as well as helping to prevent the future signs of mechanical aging.

Retail:  $46.00
Preferred Customer:  $37.95
Wholesale:  $34.50



Here is the best part... if you add all these products up and purchased them seperately, The price for the entire line is
Retail:  $181.33
Preferred Customer:  $149.60
Wholesale:  $136.00  KEEP READING....
There is good news, if you purchase them as a kit, you get it for a discount and it is only 
Retail:  $146.67
Preferred Customer: $121.00
Wholesale:  $110.00

If you compare this price to other lines out there, here is what you will see most of the nice lines such as Mary Kay, Clinique and other top selling name brands are about the same price or more for a similar line of products.  However, the one thing these are all lacking is that they don't have essential oils in them.  Not only are you going to get the benefit from having the essential oils on your skin, but they will absorb into your skin and you will get other benefits from them as well.

The last thing I wanted to share, because I do have a bag fetish is this adorable little bag to store all your skincare in. 

2009 Convention Cosmetic Bag

This black satin zippered cosmetic bag is perfect for your entire Essential Skin Care collection! Whether for travel or for use at home on your bathroom counter, this cosmetic bag is a classy way to keep your skin care products organized. Dimensions: 10"X6" with a 3" bottom gusset

While supplies last.
Retail:  $6.50
Preferred Customer:  $6.50
Wholesale:  $6.50

BUGS!!

So the bugs have come out in the last day, thankfully I had my Terrashield oil. I just mixed it in a spray bottle with some water and make sure to shake really well before each use, it is fantastic so far! This is a proprietary blend of oils that contains 15 essential oils proven to more effectively repel biting insect than synthetic repellents. A small amount of this blend will provide powerful coverage for up to 6 hours.

You can diffuse this oil into the air or apply a small amount to the skin. Place a few drops on ribbons, and place near air vents, windows or openings where buds might come in.


Hope this helps keep you bug free.


Terrashield essential oil $9.50 wholesale, or $13 retail.

No Bake Energy Balls

No-Bake Energy Balls
Carol Lawson
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup cranberries
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder or one drop doTERRA Cinnamon EO
1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
1/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cocoa powder or shredded coconut to coat balls
Directions:
1. Combine oats, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, cacao nibs and cinnamon powder (If using Cinnamon Oil add later to the wet ingredients) in large bowel. Set aside.
2. In a different bowel, combine almond butter, agave nectar, brown rice syrup, and vanilla (Cinnamon Oil) until well mixed.
3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir well.
4. Slightly moisten hands with water and roll dough into 1-inch balls. Coat balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder (the will look like truffles!). Store in the fridge. If you can wait, they taste better the next day! You can also freeze and have it handy, they take 15 mins. to defrost!
NOTE: Making the balls is fun but can take some time. You can do this recipe in 10 mins. or less if you pour the mixture into a square dish (8×8)and press firmly with your fingers to settle it. Sprinkle with your choice of coating. Place it in freezer for 30 mins. and cut in bite size pieces or in shape of a bar. Or place in fridge for 1 hour and cut. ALSO, feel free to create your own version of it, mix and match ingredients, try different flavors: Raisins, nuts, other seeds, flax seeds, other nut butters,
honey, barley malt syrup, other coatings, use whatever you have or like!

Stress and Essential oils.

Here are some recommendations from doTERRA's Dr. Hill -

Stress is a daily exercise for nearly all of us.  Diffusing or wearing citrus essential oils like wild orange or citrus bliss can greatly reduce your own personal stress levels.  I recommend a daily approach to stress reduction using your favorite essential oil. Mixing Balance and Wild Orange is refreshing. Adding a drop of Peppermint creates the perfect balance between stress reduction and improved mood.

 

I love mixing my wild orange and peppermint, they are a fantastic combo.  And I have actually seen myself be more productive and happy when I use the citrus bliss blend.  LOVE IT!
