The Intro

I had scheduled an Into to Essential Oils Class this morning, but the 1 person who replied couldn't make it.  That happens sometimes, lately often to me.   But I am not giving up.  I still have experienced amazing things from these Oils, and I feel Called to Share them.  I still held my class anyway.  Here is my Intro to Essential Oils class, it was a Good Opportunity for me to Practice without interruption.  I enjoy interacting with people the most about my job, it makes it easy to hear about someone's issues and be able to share stories to help.  Maybe there is something for you all to learn here too.

Thieves Cleaning my Jewelry

As we near the end of March, I noticed that my few pieces of aquamarine jewelry are looking pretty grimy.  Back in the day, when we lived in California, I worked in a jewelry store.  When I left I 'borrowed' a couple tubs of jewelry cleaner.  But it's been a long while since I used it all up, though it was also chock full of chemicals.  One thing I recall about cleaning jewelry from my days at the store, you don't want to use regular soap, because it will leave grime on your stones.  You might get the dirt out, but you'll likely leave behind a film that will detract from the sparkle and natural beauty of the stones.

So I decided to look up a recipe for using Essential Oils, a more natural cleaner to retain the natural beauty of my stones.   Here goes my experiment.

Recipe for Oily Jewelry Cleaner

2 tsp Thieves Cleaner

2 tsp Witch Hazel

1 tsp Baking Soda

3 drops Lemon oil

3 drops Tea Tree oil 

Mix in a glass jar, soak jewelry in for a minute or so, then remove, gently brush with toothbrush.  Do not scrub or use on pearls, opals, or turquoise.  Rinse clear with water and pat dry.  

If you want to see my Video of using it and creating it, here you go:  

Sorry I turned it sideways a quarter of the way through, I'm not a professional videographer.   

Photos are more my thing. ;)

Jams and Oils

I've been hosting a Jamberry Party this week, and a few of my friends have asked how I take them off.   I incorporate using Young Living Essential Oils into the removal of my Jamberry Nail Wraps.  

For some reason, I couldn't get the computer to switch directions while recording, so it recorded in two separate pieces.   I also couldn't get it to merge them together.  So here you go, 2 valuable chunks.  

So for you here to review how I remove my Jamberry wraps with Essential Oils. 

Enjoy!  Hope you are able to do some healthy removal, and enjoy combining these great products!  

Ningxia Time

Have you tried Ningxia Red?   There are two 2 oz. packet samples in every Premium Starter Kit just to give you a try.  I confess, I didn't try mine at first.  I didn't try them until 5 months later, when I started to get a cold, and I was desperate for any immune support I had on hand.  I didn't really like the test, but I didn't get any sicker.  

I started drinking 1 oz of Ningxia Red every day back in January, because my Diamond Leader (5 generations up from me) challenged us to a New Year's Challenge.  1 oz a day during the month of January.  Frankly, that sounded a lot easier to me than an entire year long New Year's Resolution.  So I declared that was going to be my New Year's Resolution, and Eric decided to join me cautiously.   So we drank.  And the first few weeks we shuddered when took that shot.   Ningxia Red is not a sweet juice.  It's a high anti-oxidant juice blend.   It's so packed with such great things, you only need an ounce or two.  And I didn't notice any big differences. 

My husband Eric was very wary of our daily drinking of the Ningxia Red, that we took on for the January Challenge. The only changes we noticed were a. it tastes better to us than when we first started, and b. neither of us got sick. But as it just so happened, Eric had been working insane hours for a big project.  I hate to say it, but a 40 year old man cannot pull all-nighters like a 20 year old.   With all the hideous hours Eric's been keeping of late, it was pretty miraculous that he didn't get sick.  Traditionally, he does. When it was over, I had been asking and asking him if he wanted to continue.  All he said was "Well, it's a habit now." And he told me in the beginning of February that I better order some more, he didn't think we can make it to the end of February when my ER order comes through. I guess that's Man-Speak for I like it hon, your voodoo oil beverage works, let's get some more.

Then in March, Christopher had to take the ISTEP, a standardized test for all third graders.  So we decided to boost his health and brain power, to start giving him shots of Ningxia Red too.  He was a big fan.  He made this video with me for one of my facebook online classes.  He loves his "red juice".

Way to be Compliant!  

He was pretty adorable, and he's been joining us in shots most everyday ever since.  Even Sam has gotten in on the action, we started spiking his green juice with red juice.  One morning, he noticed that we spiked his juice, and accused us, "Mommy!  Did you put red juice in my green juice?!"  Yes.  "Oh OK."  He was totally cool with that.  And now he asks for it.  We all do Family Shots in the morning.  Our Aunt Teri had a chronic cough for 10 years, the doctors didn't know what to do with her, and she finally was able to kick it using Thieves, LLP, and drinking Ningxia Red daily.  I went to the eye doctor this summer, and was thrilled to hear my astigmatism was gone and my prescription had improved.  I'd been using oils for a couple months when I had gone in last year, but this year, really the only change had been the addition of daily Ningxia.  They say it can support eye health, I thought they meant for someone with eye problems, I didn't think it would apply to me.  So it was a Bonus Health Boost! 

When school started this year, kids and parents were dropping like flies.  But our immune systems were so well supported with our oils and our Ningxia, it was Amazing.    I got close last month, the closest I have been to getting sick since I started using Essential Oils.  I was a snotty mess, and had a gross cough.  But I never got a fever.  I stayed close to home because I sounded so gross, and napped every day, well, as long as Jake would let me.  I drank my Ningxia and used my oils and didn't get sick.  It doesn't sounds like a fancy testimony, "I drank Ningxia and didn't get sick." but if you knew us before Young Living, you would be amazed at the difference.  If you are looking to boost your immune system for the next few months, give Ningxia Red a try.  Just try it for a month.  See if you notice a difference.  Even if the difference is so simple as we didn't get sick, it might be worth it. 

Failing in the Biz and still making Diamond.

Did you know that 98% of Network Marketers quit in the first year?  I did that with Mary Kay back in the day.  But with YL, I didn't intend for it to become a business.  Now I find myself Blessed with a small business, and the desire to make it grow.  Some say they just want to make it to Silver, but really Diamond is where it's at!  Check this video out!


 

Wow!  I know it's a long video, but I just feel so pumped up about my business now.  What great points she made!  "The fortune is in the follow-up."  I've already been trying to have Team Meetings, and the key to a call to action is a strong close.  I need to work on that!  I love how she gave us permission to mess up.  Doing this as a business has such a learning curve.  It's a learning process.  But one of her most important keys is for us to Keep Learning!  Keep learning, and keep sharing, but not to over do it, and become a know it all, to scare folks away.  I fell in love with Young Living Essential Oils and wanted to drink in all the knowledge like water!  So I was all over that Read and Study and Attend things bit.  But I realize not everyone can do it like I did, reading my EOPR from cover to cover over Summer Break.  Maybe I do make it a little scary that I wanted to know so much about the oils, but it made me want to share these wonderfully miraculous oils with everyone I know!   That's why I want to help you learn more.  Not only can I be a resource to answer your questions, but I can point you in the right directions of being able to find your own answers!   I want you to read and study and invest in yourself too.  Young Living and other MLMs don't have extensive marketing departments, because WE are the marketing department.  We don't just sell a product, we demonstrate a healthy lifestyle, and in order to portray it, we need to make it look as easy and awesome as we already know that it is!  So I'm setting goals for myself, to develop me.  And I want to help you all become the best you that you can be, not just for the business, but for you.
