OILS FOR PUFFY EYES

Puffy Eyes? Try this blend!

My mom has recently been talking about how puffy her under eyes are and how she wants to get surgery. I told her to try this first before doing anything else 😂

• Frankincense - The anti-inflammatory properties in frankincense help reduce swelling, inflammation, puffiness and redness.
• Rosemary - also contains the anti-inflammatory agents and has rejuvenating effects and can act as a mild diuretic to reduce swelling.
• Cypress - the vaso-constricting properties help reduce swollen vessels, its astringent properties shrink sagging under eye bags and make skin appear taut and its anti-edema properties help drive out fluid retention.

Add 2-3 drops of each oil and fill the rest of the 5mL roller bottle with Fractionated Coconut Oil. 

This blend can also be used to reduce the appearance of varicose veins by promoting circulation! Give it a try! 

FRANKINCENSE: THE OIL OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH

I talk a lot about spirituality since it's an important part of me that I try to strengthen on a daily basis. I feel more myself and "on my path" when I am focused on my spirituality and listening to my intuition. 

I use Frankincense in many ways, and one of them is for heightening my intuition and keeping on track with my spirituality.

Frankincense releases powerful vibrations (it is a high frequency oil) for protection and purification. It elevates personal and spiritual love and heightens awareness on all levels by inspiring and awakening the spiritual senses. Frankincense is an oil of transformation that expands consciousness; it is said Frankincense accelerates spiritual growth as it promotes the meditative state and opens the crown chakra, causing the energy bodies to drop into alignment and anchor in the physical. A cleanser of the body, aura, psychic planes and environment, frankincense removes all negative influences.

Frankincense also increases the potency of other oils, which is why it is included in many blends. 

Listen to the signs!!!! We are given so many signs, every single day. This $5 bill was given to me by a customer at work to pay for the item that she was purchasing. She looked at me and said, "oh... I didn't put this here. It must have been some religious Grandmother." but I knew immediately that it was a sign for me. A sign for me that I am on the right path. A sign for me that I am being watched over and protected by the highest good.

Angel Number 5 brings a message from the angels that important life changes are upon you and these changes will bring about many positive opportunities for you. The angels ask that you look upon these changes with an optimistic and positive attitude as they are destined to bring you many long-term benefits. Remember to be grateful for the auspicious opportunities ahead of you... (http://sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.com/)

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL

I heard a lot of talk about this Beautiful Touch Blend when it was released at convention earlier this year. I remember thinking, 'how is EVERYONE seriously in love with this blend?' Then doTERRA decided to release it to everyone recently along with the purchase of a clutch, and it sold out so quickly that they made more and sold those individually (which also out quick). The hype all over social media about this blend is what led me to purchase it when I had the chance since I had to smell it and decide for myself before it was sold out for good. 

Beautiful, truly is, the most magical blend. I don't like florals too often, and Beautiful has florals in it, but they did such a great job creating this blend that the florals aren't overpowering at all. It almost smells like a green skittle when smelled directly out of the bottle. Once it's on your skin, however; it smells like the most beautiful and delicate perfume (and I'm not into perfumes either!) 

Osmanthus, Lime, Bergamot, and Frankincense come together to create this bright, floral, zesty, citrusy, captivating blend that is my new go-to when I need a pick-me-up. Anything with Frankincense with it makes me feel so empowered and lifted because the high vibrational frequency of Frankincense and how it interacts with my delicate, empathic, self. When I think of Beautiful, I think of the beautiful energy that rainbows hold within them.

When experiencing occasional anxious feelings, roll on Beautiful Touch to pulse points to help enhance your mood as well. Think of Beautiful as a perfume without the fragrance and WITH added emotional benefits... doesn't get any better than that.

OILS FOR BABIES

Oils for babies!! A friend of mine was ready to pull her hair out from her fussy baby who decided that sleep wasn't his thing anymore... so I sent her some oils in hopes that these natural solutions could help him with his sleep regression and acid reflux (and help her not pull her hair out) 😅

• Serenity will help him relax and fall asleep. It can also be useful for separation anxiety.

• I sent her Lavender in a small spray bottle to spray her bedding to also help him relax. Lavender can also be used for teething and diaper rash.

• DigestZen is a great oil for any gas, colic, or tummy ache.

These are just a few oils that come in handy when dealing with a fussy baby. When using essential oils with babies, please be sure to follow the proper dilution ratios and do your research before using just any oil 🙏🏼 

IMMUNE SUPPORT BLEND

Have you noticed everyone around you gets the sickest from Halloween till after the holidays? You know what the main component of the holidays are? ... SUGAR!

Eating or drinking too much sugar weakens immune system cells that attack bad bacteria. Around the same time, we are eating all of this sugar, the seasons are also changing. Temperature shifts allow different groups of viruses to flourish and when our immune systems are down from the sugar intake, we are unable to fight off these viruses. Essential oils will help to detoxify the body and fight infections, bacteria, parasites, microorganisms and harmful toxins. They reduce the bodies susceptibility to outside sources and reduce the overreaction of the immune system.

I just remade my immune support blend and added some Oregano for extra support this holiday season. I like sugar, but I don't like getting sick.

Oregano - contains powerful antibiotic properties and has one of the highest antioxidant activity ratings, with 42 times the antioxidant punch of apples. Antioxidants = Immune Support. Oregano also has powerful antiviral and antibacterial properties which makes it the perfect oil to prevent and fight off viruses and bacteria.

OnGuard - Contains Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary. Together, these oils provide efficient, all-natural, immune support. OnGuard powerful anti-bacterial properties which makes it great for a disinfecting cleaner!

• Wild Orange has a high percentage (90%) of d-limonene, which naturally increases our glutathione levels. Glutathione levels can have a huge impact on our Immune System. Orange oil is also a powerful antioxidant to the body, protecting our cellular health. 
• Clove Bud is powerful antioxidant (probably the MOST potent natural antioxidant!)
• Cinnamon Bark is another antioxidant that also naturally stimulates the immune system and warms the body.
• Eucalyptus is a great oil to support our respiratory system. It also contains pain-reducing properties. 
• Rosemary is also great for our respiratory system. Rosemary is also very helpful for infections.

Frankincense - has stimulating effects on various important bodily glands, including the brain, hypothalamus, thyroid, and pituitary glands. These glands all work in sync to support a healthy immune system.

Lemon - has incredible detoxifying properties on the body. Helps your body get rid of toxic build up.

Copaiba - I decided to add Copaiba to this blend because it is new to doTERRA and a very powerful oil. It supports the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory system. It is also great for antioxidant support.

APPLICATION -

ADULTS:

Add 2-4 drops of each oil to a 5 mL roller bottle and roll onto the soles of the feet (for general wellness), under the arms by the arm pits (to stimulate the lymphatic system), and down the spine (the spine contains tons of nerves!)

You can also add a drop or two of each oil into a capsule and take it internally once a day to prevent sickness, up to 5x a day to get rid of a sickness.

KIDS:

Add a drop of each oil to a 15mL roller bottle (1tbs) and roll onto soles of the feet and down the spine.

NEROLI

Neroli essential oil is derived from the flowers of the bitterorange tree, whereas Orange is derived from the orange peels of the bitterorange tree.

I'm going to be honest, it took me a minute to fall in love with Neroli. Floral smells just aren't typically my thing... but the more I used Neroli, the more I fell in love because it made me feel gooood (both emotionally and physically).

I've been applying it directly to my face every night for my hormonal acneic skin (thanks to finally getting off birth control but that's another story 💁) and it's been working it's magic and keeping breakouts at bay.

Without saying TOO much here, Neroli can be used to -
• Reduce Acute Inflammation & Pain
• Improve Endocrine System
• Boost Libido
• Reduce Stress
• Repair and Rejuvenate Skin
• PMS Relief
• Decrease Stretch Marks
• Uplift Mood
• Reduce Feelings of Anxiousness
• Promote overall well-being
... and many more magical properties that I may or may not be able to even mention here 😉

I invite you to a bit more reseach on this oil to dig deeper and learn more! 🙇🏻🙏🏼 Truly a powerhouse of an oil that I can’t live without now! I think of it as the poor mans Immortelle 😅

Why doTERRA?

The more I’m sharing these oils and how amazing they are, the same questions keep popping up…

“Can I just buy the same oil at the store?”
“Can I just get similar oils on Amazon for less?” 

...the answer is NO! 

The purity of an essential oil is one of the most important characteristics you should be looking out for when purchasing! There is a huge difference between an essential oil, and a therapeutic grade essential oil. If an essential oil isn’t pure, you run into the risk of introducing chemicals, contaminants, synthetics, heavy metals, and fillers that can harm you. The negative effects outweigh the benefits. Essential oils are not regulated by the FDA (since they are not a food or a drug) which means none of the store bought essential oils have regulations and can legally say “100% Pure and Organic” but not be at all. 

🌿 Why doTERRA?
doTERRA Essential Oils are 100% Pure, Ethically and Sustainably Sourced, Tested for Potency and Purity, Third Party Tested and Ensured, Free of Containments/ Synthetics/ Fillers, and offer incredible therapeutic value.

🌿 doTERRA’s co-impact sourcing model supports farms from all over the world, including developing countries! These oils are ethically and sustainably sourced from the part of the plant where these plants naturally thrive. This means natural sun exposure, soil compounds, and moisture levels ensuring the highest quality is produced from the start. 🌱 💚

🌿 These oils go through 8 rigorous tests, 3 separate times (including 3rd party testing), to ensure the highest quality is there. If you want testing results on ANY of your essential oils, doTERRA provides you with the batch number listed on EVERY single bottle so that you can look up the testing results at sourcetoyou.com ... NO other company does this! 🙌🏼  and this is why I can 100% trust doTERRA.

OILS FOR SPIDER BITES

My best friends little sister was bit by a spider a few days ago. While I was visiting them, her bite became swollen, warm, and itchy so I grabbed Purify and Lavender and applied it directly to the bite. 

Purify is doTERRA's Cleansing blend and contains powerful oils that fight bacteria and will help fight off the venom of the spider bite.
Lavender is a natural antihistamine and will help with the itch and inflammation.
Both of these oils together help neutralize the inflammation and bacteria which helps with the itch and pain.

One Hour Later 
Slightly brighter lighting but you can see the inflammation and redness has gone down

Consistency is KEY with essential oils! For best results, I recommend applying oils every hour or so the first day. Then about 5 or 6 times throughout the next few days and gradually decreasing usage as the bite heals.

I also recommend...
• OnGuard - taking it internally in a capsule and applying to the bottoms of feet a few times a day to boost immune system to help your body fight off the venom and bacteria.
• Colloidal Silver - 1 tsp under the tongue for 30 seconds. Repeat 7x a day for short term immune support in addition to OnGuard. Can also apply a drop directly to the bite wound.
• Warm compresses and Epsom salts to draw out poison.

Spider bites can be scary stuff! Thankful for these options!
