Anyone here a fan of Valentine's Day? I stink at Valentine’s Day. I never know what to give my dearest husband, so his gift usually ends up being some awkward card. My kids, on the other hand, spend weeks creating all manner of Valentine’s Day crafts. I’m sure the intention is to give them to my husband and I on Valentine’s Day, but they never even remember to. I’ve seriously considered doing the same thing for my husband. For this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would be a little more organized, and take care of the parents’ gifts and the Valentine’s Day...

I've been enjoying the antioxidant drink NingXia Red from Young Living for several years now. If you haven't had the opportunity to try it, it's a delicious drink. It's base is the wolfberry and it contains pure Orange, Yuzu, Lemon and Tangerine essential oils. I drink an ounce or two every morning and afternoon to energize, fortify, and revitalize my body, while supporting overall health and wellness. Even my kids love it! NingXia Red is far from just another "energy drink," in fact, I cringe when I hear those words. Although it does provide sustaining energy with the combination of wolfberries and...

I love a good DIY. With two kids who love to get messy, a crafty project in the kitchen provides us with some quality time and entertainment. Our most recent project was to make kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners! Now, I'm going to be honest, I don't normally think: "Why don't we whip up some kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners?" I was really just thinking we'd make some salt dough ornaments because the kids love cooking and painting. But our project evolved into air fresheners and WE LOVE THEM! The Usual Salt Dough Recipe 2 cups flour1 cup salt1 cup water Mix the ingredients together in...

In our family, essential oils are a part of our everyday lives. We use them for everything imaginable, so it only made sense that when we started to homeschool that we would learn how to use essential oils for school work. At the time, I knew very little about essential oils and their many benefits, so I simply began diffusing essential oils while we homeschooled because they smelled wonderful. We would get up and as we ate breakfast, I would diffuse the awakening and invigorating scents of Lemon and Peppermint. It is pretty much impossible to be in a bad mood when...

From the moment you opened your Young Living Premium Starter Kit, with it's set of beautiful little bottles, you will have noticed that half of them are labeled in white. The white labels indicate that the oil is part of Young Living's Vitality line, which is labeled for internal use. But are essential oils safe to ingest? This is a controversial subject in the aromatherapy world. If you dare to do an online search, you'll encounter some pretty passionate arguments warning of the dangers of ingestion. In general, the American aromatherapy industry preaches that it is unsafe to ingest any essential...

Over the past several years, science has come to realize that the bacteria found in our gut has an enormous influence over our genetic expression and our immune system. Meanwhile, we've been so busy buying antibacterial everything, trying to get rid of all bacteria, that we've failed to recognize why we all need probiotics in our lives! Throughout history, we've gotten the probiotics needed from the foods we ate. Foods were not GMO, the soil was better, and fermentation was used to keep food from going bad. When refrigeration was invented, along with agricultural and sanitation practices, many foods became essentially...
