Stop Drop and Roll: More Coffee? More Mountain Dew? Actually, No Thanks!

Love (or need) Caffeine or Energy Drinks?
Coffee and other energy drinks pull all the energy from your cells onto the front lines for battle (keeping your eye lids opens and your feet moving). However, once the battle is over, the energy is gone and there's no reserve. Hence, the afternoon slump.

Be Steady Betty all day long by doing one or more of the following:

Peppy Patty - Place 1 drop of Peppermint in a 12 oz (or larger) glass of water or water bottle. My friend who used to drink 5+ cups of coffee per day tried this and....she went off coffee!

Hazel Basil - Place 3 drops of Basil oil on the bottom of each foot and massage. Inhale Basil regularly throughout the day. I love Basil for support adrenal exhaustion.

Slim & Sassy in a Glassy - Drink 5 drops of Slim and Sassy in water or a capsule 3-5 times a day. Now for me, 5 drops is too much. So start with 1-2 and then work your way up to 5.

Cut the Craving - Place 1 drop Grapefruit oil under tongue, hold for 30 seconds, swallow. Repeat as often as cravings arise.

Maximize Your Days - MitoMax is a supplement of adaptogens (plants which survive well under stress). It's a natural energy booster and also helps women balance hormones. I reintroduced this to my supplement routine recently and felt like I had eaten 3 brownies that morning. I had so much energy. And it happened the next day too. This is amazing if you often feel like you drag all day. *Send me an email for a sample.

My Favorites -  I use MitoMax almost every morning. I often will put 1 drop of Peppermint in my water in the afternoon. I also like to inhale Basil and do 2 drops under my tongue.

Stop, Drop & Roll:Is Your Child Getting Teeth? Does Your Mouth Hurt?

For Better Mood and Less Pain as Teeth Come In
If your child is getting teeth, they, along with you, aren't enjoying the experience. Runny noses, higher temperatures, less sleep, more drool, more tears. Time to reach for your oils. And guess what? I bet you have at least one of the following!

Lavender - great for all things irritating! Rub diluted oil on gums or cheeks for soothing. Diffuse at night for better sleep. I love using Lavender Touch. It's diluted and ready to go in a roller bottle.

Peppermint - cools and helps reduce body temperature. Dilute and rub on bottom of feet.

Clove - numbs the mouth and helps with pain. This is a HOT oil so be sure to dilute it for kids. Use 1 drop of Clove to 8-10 drops of FCO (fractionated coconut oil). **I would try Lavender first and then support with Clove if needed.

Oils may be used every 15 - 30 minutes as needed.

Stop, Drop and Roll: What To Do With Sudden, Strong Emotions + a Personal Story

7/10/2018

A while back, I made a little note which oils to use for Grief, Anger and Shock. At the current moment, I was doing okay, but knew there would be a time to share with others or possibly use them myself. You don't plan for a crisis.

And then last week happened. I was driving a vehicle that had no brakes. However, I didn't realize it until I was close to 4 way stop with vehicles approaching on all sides. I was slowing down, but not enough to stop. I swerved off into a parking lot, threw the vehicle into Park, prayed like crazy (as I heard the gears grind loudly) and dodged a few parked cars. I finally came to a stop right before I went over the curb and back onto the road.

I realized my body was shaking and my heart was pounding. My adrenaline had kicked in. I felt the results the rest of the day. At some point that evening, I remembered this blend (see below) and pulled it out. It was super helpful in calming me!

Here's why:
Tangerine is great for irritability, and calming the nervous system. When its diffused together with Marjoram, it can soothe emotions such as grief, anger and shock. Marjoram is great for physical stress and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels already in the normal range. Frankincense is calming and a great support to the body.

It's important to note, the limbic system (or our emotions) are what we're targeting here, so aromatic use (diffusing) is the best option.

Diffuse this blend:
3 drops Tangerine
2 drops Marjoram
1 drop Frankincense


If you would like to hear more about how God helped me in this situation, drop me an email.

Stop, Drop and Roll:  What's in a Great Vitamin?

Drop In On Microplex (doTERRA's Multi-Vitamin)
So most of us know our food doesn't give us the vitamins and minerals we need, but where do we go from there. Do I need a vitamin? If so, is "one-a-day" okay? What brand is best?

First, our bodies can only process smaller amounts of vitamins and minerals several times a day verses one big dose. So "one-a-day" is not optimal for our bodies.

Second, it's super important not to use synthetic vitamins. They are toxic to our bodies. So while we're trying to increase our health, we're also working against the good we're doing.

Thirdly, it's important to use a brand that you trust, who has done research for what the body needs.

Let's talk about doTERRA's Multi-Vitamin, Microplex, one of doTERRA's top selling products! It's a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals presented in a food nutrient complex. Microplex provides a balanced blend of essential antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E; an energy complex of B vitamins; and 800 IU of vitamin D. It also contains important chelated minerals for metabolism and the essential bone nutrients calcium, magnesium, and zinc.

What are the other benefits?
*Provides 22 essential vitamins and minerals to support normal growth, function, and maintenance of cells
*Includes a whole-food botanical blend of kale, dandelion, parsley, kelp, broccoli, brussels sprout, cabbage, and spinach (get your veggies in your vitamin!)
*Includes the doTERRA tummy tamer digestive blend to calm the stomach for those who may have experienced stomach upset with other vitamin and mineral products.

Top 5 Success Points (when used together with doTERRA's Omegas & Antioxidants):  
More Energy
Better Sleep
Less Pain
Less Inflammation
Slower Weight Gain

Here's WHY I Use it:
My life is full and busy, just like yours. We have schedules to keep, things to remember, places to be. We need to have brain power and energy to keep up. Even though I get decent sleep, exercise, and eat well, my body still needs an extra boost.

I love the bonus energy I have when using this product. There are days I have forgotten them. By 2 pm I can tell. I'm exhausted. I'm glad though. Because I know they are working. I also love how I don't gain weight as easily when I use them. It's amazing and wonderful all at the same time to step on the scale and smile!

I love that I can trust doTERRA to give me all the nutrition I need in my vitamin and know it's fabulous for my body.

Other 'Wow' Stories: There are many other stories relating to this product - better breast milk production, less moody, getting pregnant, less bladder and pelvic discomfort, stronger respiratory and immune systems, less unwanted vaginal bacteria, and so much more.

There is a 30 day full refund guarantee if you don't love the product. Email me to learn more.
