It is going to be ten months, in couple of weeks, since our family has starter the oily journey. It has been an amazing journey so far! We have come to a point, where we use Young Living Essential Oils on daily basis. Well, let me tell you a little bit, what a day in a life of an oiler looks like.
Mornings we start out, by diffusing something uplifting and energizing. My favorite has to be Peppermint EO and Joy EO combo. Every single one of us gets a dose of Ningxia Red drink. That drink is just some crazy good stuff, it keeps the immune system going strong and energy levels are pumped up as well.
Every morning, I also add 2 drops of each Lemon, Peppermint, and Grapefruit EO to my water. This is what we call the "weightloss trio". LEMON is a natural appetite suppressant, antiseptic, and immune stimulant, plus memory improver. It's rich in limonene, which has been extensively studied in over 50 clinical studies for its ability to combat tumor growth. PEPPERMINT is known as gallbladder/digestive stimulant, pain relieving, and it's known to curb appetite. GRAPEFRUIT is known as the fat-dissolving oil, it is also high in limonene.
Also, I added few drops of Frankincense essential oil into my moisturizer, and I am loving it! It helps to keep my skin hydrated and smooth. And Frankincense is known to be beneficial in helping with wrinkle reduction, and I guess its never too early to start that!
After a morning run, I always used to get very bad headaches. I could not go on with the day without popping 3 Ibuprofens every 4-6 hours.... Recently I discovered that mix of Peppermint and PanAway, and of course carrier oil, helps the headache to subside within 5 minutes. No more Ibuprofen for this girl!
During allergy season, before sending my daughter off to school, I apply the "allergy trio" to her wrists and sides and back of her neck. The allergy trio includes Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon. I also add Copaiba (AKA the Power oil or Magnifying oil. It has strong anti-inflamatory properties and is known to "magnify" the action of other oils).
This winter we got to use the Allergy Trio during non-allergy season. We got a dog for kids for Christmas. And even though we chose a hypoallergenic breed, Alexis still had allergic reaction when she was licked by Duke... After doing some more research I found out that dogs saliva could be an allergen.... So the Allergy Trio came to rescue here! After a week of regular use, all signs of allergy were gone. Now two months later, and thank God, no more allergic reactions!
Whenever my kids have a runny nose, a drop of Lavender on the bridge of the nose does the trick. My first time trying this trick shocked my socks off! Ten minutes after the application, the "waterfalls" dried up!
Adding few drops of Lavender to kids' bath is another way we do life... It helps to relax and keeps the skin baby smooth.
Lavender is also amazing for Diaper Rash Cream. My little guy has a very fast metabolism and food goes right through him (sorry for TMI!), so his cute little bottom often gets a rash... Few days ago, I finally caved in (I have heard of this trick a while ago, but always put it off to try it) and mixed coconut oil with Lavender essential oil, the rash was gone at the next diaper change!
Another little trick I learned, is to add few drops of Thieves Essential oil to a pacifier holder. This helps to boost the immune system, and also kills all the germs that are collected on the pacifier holder.
A huge saver this winter was the "cough drop" tea (thats what we call it around our house). Just like all other moms, I had no time for being sick! So at a first sign of sore throat I would always make my self some tea with raw honey and a drop of each Thieves and Lemon essential oils, and it worked like a charm every single time!
I can't forget to mention that Stress Away is a part of my daily routine! The name speaks for itself. And it really works! Just a drop on each wrist and on the sides and back of the neck, and you are feeling focused and relaxed, during those little situations that motherhood has to offer.
Our Duke is also not left without essential oils! We keeps his coat smelling clean by spraying it with a mix of water and few drops of Purification oil. It also helps with keeping clumps out of his coat.
When it's time for bed, I start diffusers in my kids' rooms. On regular nights, I diffuse Peace and Calming, Lavender and Cedarwood. On nights when someone is coughing, I diffuse Thieves and Purification or R.C. and Lemon.
And this, about sums up a day in a life on an oiler. We absolutely love our Young Living essential oils, and can't imagine our day without them.
The picture above, shows everything that comes in the Premium Starter Kit. The Starter Kit is how our family started this oily journey! And this is how I recommend to start for anyone who is looking to get on oily bandwagon. The 5 ml bottles last a long time and can be used for so many different things. I haven't covered even half of this whole kit can be used for... I am sitting here, and thinking, what about this and that ...
If you are ready to grab your Premium Starter Kit, I will include a step-by-step below, on how to get your kit.
For everyone who will purchase their kit through the steps I will share, I would like to send you a copy of our wonderful The Happy Oils pocketbook (that was put together by a team of some wonderful women), and I would like to add you to our fabulous Facebook group, where we will help you on your oily journey.
How to get a Premium Starter Kit:
1. Click over to the sign up page youngliving.com
2. Select "sign-up as: Young Living Wholesale Member" (this secures you the 24% discount on all future orders. And there are absolutely no fees)
3. In "the Enroller ID" and "the Sponsor ID" boxes fill in this number 1868917
4. Fill out your name, address, and contact information (the reason you are asked for your SSN is for tax purposes; if you make over $600/year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail, as is required by law. Young Living will never share this information with anyone, and you are not obligated to sell anything if you don't want to! I promise, I would not lead you astray here!)
5. Create your password and pin, which you will use to log into your account and order the oils.
6. Select your enrollment order. Here you can specify which starter kit you would like. I recommend selecting The premium Starter kit, with either Home diffuser or Aroma diffuser (we have both and equally love both of them).
7. It will ask you if you would like to sign up for Essential Rewards program. I recommend saying no to this, for now.
8. Agree to terms and conditions.
9. CONFIRM YOUR ORDER. Some folks miss this step, and end up not fully checking out. To confirm, the tool will log you in and it will show you your order again, and will ask you to enter your payment information.
10. Wait for the mail man to arrive. I have to warn you, this step is the hardest!!!
I hope you enjoyed having a glimpse into our oily life. I am excited to see you on this oily journey and hear how you use the essential oils. Please keep in mind that this post is not intended to diagnose or treat anyone. And if you are concerned about a possible medical condition, seek professional medical advice. There is a place for natural healing and modern medicine to coexist, and it may look different for each family.
