DIY Outdoor Spray

Everyone knows by now, Summer is HERE. I am taking full advantage to get outdoors! I love the hot sun and all that Summer brings, except for one tiny thing! The annoyances that come along with it in the outdoors!!!

We have many holidays and gatherings coming up so I wanted to share with you what I recently made to help us during this time of need! Now even though I share the recipe for the spray, you can also use *2 drop of each in your young living desert mist diffuser to make an amazingly fresh aroma in your home too!

I have been giving these out to all my friends and family because I know the power this little spray has with absolutely no chemicals! This is a super easy recipe and doesn’t take much at all to make.

?¿?DID YOU KNOW?¿? Citronella scented candles mostly use Citronella FRAGRANCE not the Citronella OIL.

If you aren’t already using Young Living oils go right here to see why I chose them over all the rest and why I would never use anything else! + If you are ready to get your first healthy lifestyle starter box of essential oils go right here to sign up (personally I choose the Young Living Desert Mist diffuser its the same price as the home diffuser but looks nicer in my opinion) and let me get you plugged into our group with tons of support and guidance to make your transition easy!

This little spray has PLANT POWER!!!

Candles by BotanicPress Review

June 3, 2018 blyssyourheart

I am always on the hunt for anything that makes my home less like smelly-boy and more into a spa. I need a place of relaxation to get away for a while. Picking my favorite candles have recently become harder because of my more natural lifestyle these days. I did find one that makes the grade! Go right here to the Botanic Press shop or click on any of the pictures as you read to shop around! For more of my favorites go check out My Top 10 Must-Have Vitality Essential Oils or My Uses for my Everyday Oils or Top 5 ways to use Coconut Oil

The shop is BotanicPress by Ashley Carr on Etsy

(don’t you just love all things Etsy there is so much talent there)

When purchasing things I absolutely love when I know the person behind the logo and the “stuff”. It makes me feel amazing when I can buy local and help families rather than the bigger companies. (don’t get me wrong, they supply jobs too) So I read Ashley’s bio I really connected with the empowering you feel when you create something that is beautiful and natural. I also deeply love the cozy lifestyle she incorporates to each candle with the book titles, it just makes me want to snuggle into my comfy sofa with a blanket and hot cocoa by the candle light.

The Why Behind the Candles:

“When I think about candles, I think about dinner parties, long talks on the patio, or rainy evenings with a good book. They are the centerpiece of quality time – both with others, and with yourself. In 2014 I ventured into candle making as “just another hobby.” But then I realized something (besides the amazing smells lingering around my kitchen). It felt GOOD. It was super empowering to be able to create something all by myself that was way more earth-friendly than many of the other candles on the market.”

“This led to many, many other revelatory moments where I thought to myself, “I bet I could make that.” And in fact, I could. The concept behind my shop is to combine all the things I adore: reading, planet earth, relationships, and an all around cozy life. Each candle is named in reference to a story or character that has shaped me in some way, and is meant to bring you and your people closer together; whether its your shared love for Earnest Hemingway, or the refreshing scent of sandalwood drifting through the air. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!”

The candle I am swooning over is the newly released addition called Wonderland! It is a soy wax candle made purely with essential oils! It is seasonal but don’t worry, there will be more coming along made with purely essential oils.

Ashley’s Commitment on Improving Health Quality in Candles

“The ones made with fragrance oils are Phthalate-free, which is where you find most of the toxicity in candle fragrances. Unfortunately companies don’t have to list exactly what they put in their fragrance oils, so I make sure to only get ones without phthalates (even though not all phthalates are bad!). Also, even though fragrance oils are man-made, many of them contain primarily essential oils. The only reason I can’t say that they are 100% natural is because I don’t know the nitty-gritty of what’s in each oil. BUT, I will say that I buy from very reputable American companies who seek out the most ethical/natural ingredients possible.”

I just love the smell throughout the house and knowing that I am not putting harmful chemicals into the air is empowering as well. Go right over here to try one of your own! Remember that the smell intensifies after burning a few times, with essential oils that sometimes will happen in candle use. She will be making more with essential oils only so if you have your favorite blends remember to post them in the comments!

I did not receive any compensation for this post including any sales of the candles, free product, etc. The opinions here are 100% my own.

DIY Soothing Spot Roll-On

May 27, 2018May 27, 2018 blyssyourheart

It is Summer again and while it is my FAVORITE season of all, I forget about those pesky little annoyances that the season brings with it!

We have many holidays and gathering coming up so I wanted to share with you what I recently made to help us in time of need when we forget to grab our bug spray on the way out!

I have been handing these out like candy lately and they are super simple. I know us busy moms are on the go and we are lucky to remember the kids shoes at times but I always have this one rolling around in the bottom of my purse for anytime annoyances strike!

This is a super easy recipe and doesn’t take much at all to make.

If you aren’t already using Young Living oils go right here to see why I chose them over all the rest and why I would never use anything else and if you are ready to get your first healthy lifestyle starter box of essential oils go right here to sign up and let me get you plugged into our group with tons of support and guidance to make your transition easy!

Forgot your Outdoor Spray and now you’re paying for it? Use this Soothe the Spot roll-on and your smile will come right back

20180526_223154

DIY Soothing Spot Roll-On

5 drops Lavender

2 drops Lemon

5 drops *Purification

3 drops *Peppermint

*Leave the Purification and Peppermint out of it when using on children 2 and under.

Combine all the oils in a 10 ml roller bottle like these here and fill the rest with Young Living’s V6 oil or your favorite carrier oil like almond oil or if you don’t know which carrier oil you like you can try a sampler like this

Apply this soothing stick to any areas you need and you can apply them as often as you need, just be careful when using citrus oils since it can make your skin more sensitive in direct sun.

Pro Tip- Use label sheets to quickly write down what the roller is and wrap it around the bottle to make using and finding the right oil blend easier.

With any purchases made here I will get a small compensation so please order through my links. My opinions are 100% my own and I only post on things I use myself.

My Top 10 Must-Have Vitality Essential Oils

April 20, 2018May 25, 2018 blyssyourheart

10 Must Have Vitality Essential Oils

We are having an amazing party tonight and trying lots of yummy recipes so I have been looking into the Vitality Line and I’ll get to add some recipes from tonight later on but first, let’s dig in and learn a little bit about Young Living’s Vitality essential oil line!

Each of the 27 Vitality essential oils has a regular counterpart. For example, Young Living sells Lemon essential oil and Lemon Vitality essential oil. Each Vitality essential oil is the exact same oil as it’s regular counterpart. The only difference is that each Vitality essential oil includes a label with instructions for internal consumption (dietary/supplement use), while it’s regular counterpart includes a label with topical/aromatic instructions. For 20 years, Young Living had all three uses (topical, aromatic, and dietary) listed on several bottles of their essential oil. Young Living separated the uses on different bottles to satisfy the marketing requirements of the FDA.

If you are wanting to know more about how you should get started just go to this page right here but if you already know you want it, just go straight on over to this page right here and it will notify me to send you all your goodies and get you plugged into our amazing groups too!

There are 4 Different Categories in the Vitality Line: Herb, Citrus, Spice, and Supplement

Here are my Top 10 Vitality Oils (not in any particular order)
Basil Vitality–Basil Vitality oil (Ocimum basilicum) has a sweet, warm scent and flavor. This herb is found in a variety of dishes and is popular in both Asian and European cooking. With Basil Vitality™ essential oil, it’s easy to add this well-loved seasoning to whatever you like. Using an essential oil, you’ll get a brighter flavor than dried herbs without the hassle of fresh herbs.

Young Living’s Basil Vitality essential oil pairs well with savory foods, but you can also add its sweet, slightly peppery flavor to any meal. Try Basil Vitality oil with sauces, breads, soups, chicken, or seafood. Or try a sweet concoction like basil-strawberry lemonade. If you want a lighter basil flavor in your dish, dip a toothpick in the oil and swirl it in your preparations.

Lavender Vitality-The herb has a sweet, slightly floral flavor that pairs well with both rich and light foods. Although more popular with sweeter recipes, Lavender Vitality oil’s benefits extend to savory dishes as well. In fact, lavender is sometimes included in the famous Herbes de Provence along with spices such as marjoram, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Put a new spin on a classic meal and pair it with chicken, lamb, or even potatoes.

Oregano Vitality

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) Vitality™ is more than just a seasoning—it may also support a healthy lifestyle when taken as a dietary supplement.* Oregano Vitality essential oil is a key ingredient in ImmuPower™ essential oil blend.

Oregano Vitality essential oil is an easy way to flavor savory dishes. Its distinctive, pungent taste makes it an indispensable addition to Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines, though it can be used in a variety of cuisines and recipes. Add sparingly to various dishes for extra flavoring like italian dishes!

Nutmeg Vitality-Nutmeg comes from an evergreen tree indigenous to Indonesia. Steam distilled from the fruit and seeds of the tree, Nutmeg Vitality™ essential oil has a sweet and distinctly spicy taste, making it both a powerful and versatile essential oil.

Nutmeg Vitality™ is particularly good for enhancing the flavor of winter produce such as acorn squash, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin.

Along with flavoring your favorite recipes, Nutmeg Vitality oil has many health benefits, including cognitive function support, immune support, and powerful antioxidants.*

Put 1 drop of Nutmeg Vitality and 1 drop of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex into a capsule and take it to support cognitive function.*
Place 1–2 drops into a smoothie or green drink to support a healthy immune system.*
Add Nutmeg Vitality to your favorite holiday baked goods.
Use it in savory dishes to subtly enhance and round out the flavor.

Peppermint Vitality- This oil has a bright, cool flavor, with benefits that include gastrointestinal comfort and normal digestion support, in addition to its great taste.* Peppermint Vitality oil can support healthy gut function and digestive efficiency.* Because of its great taste, it’s easy to add this versatile oil to your tea or experiment with it in your baking.

Add to your daily dietary supplements as overall support for healthy digestive system comfort.* Simply add 1–2 drops in a vegetarian gel capsule and take daily or as needed.
Include a drop in a tall glass of cool water for a refreshing start to your morning.
Blend with your pre-workout drink for an energizing start or wind down after your workout with a mint-infused chocolate or vanilla protein shake.
Use in baking and in a wide variety of desserts.

Cinnamon Bark Vitality- Not only is Cinnamon Bark Vitality oil used for its unique and spicy notes in recipes, but it’s also a great dietary supplement included in Thieves and Inner Defense!

Taking Cinnamon Bark Vitality essential oil as a dietary supplement can support healthy digestion and help maintain a healthy immune system.*
- Turn your NingXia Red® shot into a “Hot Shot” by adding a drop or two of Cinnamon Bark Vitality.
- Substitute Cinnamon Bark Vitality in any recipe that calls for ground cinnamon

Grapefruit Vitality , Lemon Vitality, and Orange Vitality are all Citrus Oils.

Citrus oils can add a bright, dynamic flavor to many dishes. Its versatility in sweet and savory recipes is what makes this fruit a popular item in kitchens around the world.

Use citrus oils to add flavor to savory foods like fish and chicken or sweet foods like pastries and cakes.

Citrus oils have a bright taste you’ll want to keep on hand for almost anything you whip up. Instead of zesting or juicing, use Lemon, Tangerine or Orange Vitality for a convenient way to use this great flavor. Start small with a single drop of oil.

Add to a tall glass of cold water for a fresh drink to start your day.
Blend a drop into your pancake batter
Create your own salad dressing with citrus oils!
Add to tea, baked goods, homemade preserves, and other treats.
Combine with savory foods such as chicken, fish, shrimp, and vegetables and with sides such as noodles, rice, or pasta salad.

Thieves Vitality

With Thieves® Vitality™ you’ll have a quick and easy way to balance your busy life and your wellness. With Young Living’s Thieves Vitality essential oil you can support overall wellness and a healthy immune system* with just a few drops.

Thieves Vitality combines Lemon, Clove, Eucalyptus Radiata, Cinnamon Bark, and Rosemary essential oils to create one of our most popular products. These ingredients synergistically combine to offer one of the key benefits of Thieves Vitality oil: overall wellness and support of a healthy immune system. Additionally, Eucalyptus Radiata Vitality may also help support a healthy respiratory system when taken internally*.

Add 1–2 drops to a vegetarian gel capsule and take daily or as needed as a dietary supplement.
Put a drop or a swirl of Thieves Vitality essential oil in your morning juice, tea, or coffee. The spicy, sweet flavor will also give your morning beverage a flavor boost.
Add a drop to oatmeal, granola, or other cereal to elevate your breakfast.
Take a shot of NingXia Red® with a drop of Thieves Vitality for a quick, spicy boost to your daily NingXia Red shot.

Now if you don’t already have your starter kit, you get to get started with these great oils right away. Your kit will include 5 Vitality Essential Oils and 5 of the “Regular” Essential Oils. It comes with samples of some other great things to try AND the best part, a DIFFUSER!!! The kit is worth over $300 and you get it for $160!! They just UPGRADED to the Desert Mist diffuser as well which is really pretty too! You can go learn more about the kit here or you can get started right NOW!!

NingXia Red

February 6, 2018May 25, 2018 blyssyourheart

I thought this was CRAZY at first! I had no idea what NingXia Red was and my first review I would have said it tasted weird to me. I then saw how you can add oils to it to make it have different tastes. So I tried it again and added a vitality essential oil and it was better. THEN, I went to a Christmas party hosted by Myra over at https://www.myblessedlife.net AND, I was in LOVE. I tasted some spicy versions, sweet versions, and it was all so good! Chris, my hubby, did not like the Cinnamon added because it got on his lip and burned them for about 5 minutes. EEGH! So be careful with the hot oils but it gave me a good laugh the whole time he was putting his mouth in his water, we later found some oil and rubbed it and finally relieved it. ❤ What a fun experience!!!!! I literally cannot get enough so my NingXia Red review is absolutely amazing now! I am preaching it to everyone for lots of reasons!

I’ll answer 4 things today, So what exactly is it? What are some NingXia Red benefits? Why do you want it? and… Where do you get NingXia Red?

It is delicious and I absolutely crave it now. My oldest loves it too but the others aren’t as big of fans but they will drink it too! If you are at all curious, go do a 30 day challenge and see how you feel at the end!

*UPDATE* My youngest just ran up to me and told me he wants a cup full of NingXia Red. I told him I will give him a little and he literally danced around the kitchen! He’s officially an addict now too! 🙂

What are some of the NingXia Red Ingredients? NingXia Red is from Wolfberries and made from NingXia, China. They blend it with 100% essential oils and test throughout the entire journey for any chemicals or contaminants. (read up on it at seedtoseal.com) Then they puree the wolfberry superfruit. (fun fact: They also known as goji berries like the ones found in India but wolfberries are found in China) They capture the most packed nutrients from the juice and the puree! It is also added with a blend of cherry, blueberry, pomegranate, plum, aronia, plus grapeseed extract. We all know those fruits have TONS of vitamins, minerals to support whole body health!

Then they take it another step and add in 4 essential oils into the drink! They add Orange, Lemon, Tangerine and Yuzu. They will help support a healthy digestion! These 4 essential oils also contain d-limonene which you can learn more about by just GOOGLE-ling it! Go ahead…. Ill pause while you do that!

RIGHT!!?!?!?! I KNOWW!?!?!??!?! ISN’T IT AMAZING FOR YOU!?!?!?!?!

This super drink helps support whole body wellness, energy levels, eye health, helps fight against oxidative stress, and support normal cellular function!

So you need it! You gotta have it!! and Where can you get it?

So there are lots of ways to get your NingXia Red. You actually get 2 sample packets with your first Premium Starter Kit. So if you have been thinking about trying it but loving essential oils, that’s a good taste tester. If you want to go ahead and do that you can sign up right here —> Essential Oils Kit —> But I urge you to keep going 😉

But we all know that you have to EXPERIENCE something for longer than 2 days for results, have you been on a diet for 2 days and noticed a significant change?!?! I don’t think so. Have you went walking for 2 days and noticed you gained calf muscles?!?!? Nope didn’t think so either. So I want to give you a 30 day challenge! 30 days drinking 1-2oz of NingXia Red each day and note how you feel each day. I was a skeptic and of course turned believer because it works!

And if you don’t like drinking the same thing everyday, which I can relate because I had to switch my coffee creamer every week or it would get old until I stopped using creamer (go here to my bulletproof coffee) You can actually change the tastes of it by adding different oils. There’s sweet, spicy, hot, savory. So NOM NOM NOM.

Here is some of the AMAZING NingXia Red SHOT RECIPES!!! The first time my husband heard that there would be NingXia Red Shots at the Christmas party, I had to explain that there was not alcohol in these shots, it was overall wellness shots!!!

And I also had to try the NingXia Nitro which is a powerful little boost of energy that literally REPLACED MY COFFEE, until I ran out, so I have immediately placed a quick order so it should be in soon!! I cannot wait and a bunch of friends who loved it too and have ordered it because of the ease that you can just have a few in your purse for errands, mid-day slumps or those days that your kids couldn’t sleep so you couldn’t either but you still gotta get your booty off to work. Yup. Those Days. And it’s even great for Mondays!!!

HOW TO BEST GET NINGXIA RED:

The most cost efficient way to get NingXia Red is to 1st: Get the Premium NingXia Red Starter Kit here then sign up for NingXia Red Essential Rewards! It’s a monthly box that you get to customize and switch up at ANY time! You get 10% back the 1st 3 months, months 4-24 you earn 20% back and after that you 25% back!!! Who else pays you to shop? and earn more back the longer you stay on essential rewards! And there’s an essential rewards kit that is ONLY available to the essential rewards members that includes 2 bottles and 30 packets which is THE.MOST.VALUABLE.WAY.TO.GET.YOUR.NINGXIA. mmmm

Now I am off to enjoy mine because tonight was the beginning of my NEW BOTTLE!! Yum! Go get yours today! If you are needing a bit more info then you go to the BRAND NEW site of its own here –>NINGXIARED.COM

I do receive compensation when you order the NingXia or Starter Kits through my links. You will also get my training and my team to help support you on your oily journey as well as some free goodies for joining (up to $25 in value)

My Weight Management Support

January 15, 2018May 25, 2018 blyssyourheart

Are you searching for a way to help you kick off your weight loss goals for this year? Maybe you just want to shed a few pounds, get toned, or a complete lifestyle change? My journey didn’t start this year, it’s been pretty much an ongoing up and down battle for years now but last year was my WORST year and my breaking point. So if you have seen the other posts I have done, or if not that’s okay because I am introducing a new weight loss support system that I am so excited about. We have so many products available and you can go check out my website for more products but I’ll only be talking about what I ordered! My beautiful friend did an event at the start of January that got me intrigued and seeing her journey has inspired me to give it a go! I’ll be posting my journey results as the contest goes through April! The first goes until February so another sign up will be March 1st so it’s not too late to enter the contest to win. Once you read the post go here to read all the rules to WIN! (Go to View All Products/Healthy & Fit/ Slique)

So let’s get into what I got excited about and a little info for you!

First Up We will talk about Slique CitraSlim™

Slique CitraSlim™ is a vegan product formulated with naturally derived ingredients to promote healthy weight management when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

It includes a proprietary citrus extract blend, which some studies suggest may help support the body in burning excess. This polyphenolic mixture of flavonoids offers powerful antioxidants that are touted for their health benefits. Eating things really high in polyphenols actually shrinks body tissues and reduces fat mass! It also increases lean body mass and reduces oxidative stress within the body. It helps break down triglycerides, and it may help the release of free fatty acids, which assist in the breakdown of fat.

Slique CitraSlim features a two-capsule formulation in a convenient dual-serving daily sachet:

The once-daily liquid capsule delivers pomegranate seed oil, Lemongrass, Lemon Myrtle, and Idaho Balsam Fir essential oils. This blend is high in citral, which is a constituent that may increase metabolic activity.
Three power-packed powder capsules contain a proprietary citrus extract blend, cinnamon powder, bitter orange extract, feungreek seed, ocotea leaf extract, a customized blend of enzymes and four essential oils: Ocotea, Cassia, Spearmint, and Fennel. #LETSDOIT

Next up is Slique Essence!

Slique Essence combines grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients work together to help control hunger.

The pleasant citrus combination of grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon essential oils adds a flavorful and uplifting element to any day with the added support of spearmint that may help with digestion.

Ocotea essential oil adds an irresistible, cinnamon-like aroma to help control hunger, while stevia adds an all-natural sweetener that provides a sugar-free, pleasant taste with no added calories.

Be sure to shake vigorously before use!! Add 2-4 drops to 4-6 oz. of your favorite beverage, tea, or water. When adding to water, be sure to avoid plastic containers. If you don’t have a glass water bottle you can grab one here You can just as you need it throughout the day!

I love shakes, I always like quick breakfast because I am not a morning person! I don’t want to get up early and make breakfast ALONG WITH getting a shower, getting the kids off to school, getting their breakfast, getting the dog fed and outside, off to school, drop offs, and traveling in yucky traffic to get to work on time. #AMIRIGHT?

Slique® Shake is a complete meal replacement shake that provides quick, satisfying, and delicious nutrition. Formulated with Slique Essence Essential Oil Blend, this shake may support healthy weight management when combined with regular exercise and a sensible diet. In a convenient single-serving packet, it’s easy to slip into a purse or pocket for healthy eating on the go.

Slique Shake’s berry flavor 🍒 is great on its own or mixed with almond milk or fruit, and its vegan formula contains no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or GMO ingredients. Instead, Slique Shake is naturally sweetened with Stevia, organic coconut palm sugar, wolfberries, and strawberries. The formula also includes pea protein, quinoa, wolfberry, pumpkin seed protein, and alfalfa grass juice, making it not only a tasty protein shake but an excellent source of dietary fiber as well. Slique Shake also includes a fruit and vegetable blend that provides essential vitamins and minerals that many meal replacement options don’t offer. It is vegan, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free…considered a raw food. 220 calories when added to 1 cup of almond milk.

Did you know, just by drinking a shake for breakfast instead of your normal breakfast foods saves on average about 1000 calories? #YESPLEASE

Talk about Grab and Go, the slique bars are a perfect midday snack fix when you are too busy and forget lunch and need to go grab the kids before after school care closes haha!

25659445_10215452878259067_9055236768274798793_n

26167328_10215452878019061_2020788252464445037_n

Slique Bars are safe, innovative weight-management tools that utilize a dual-target approach to help manage satiety.

Slique Bars are loaded with exotic baru nuts and wholesome almonds that promote satiation when combined with protein and fiber.

Slique Bars also contain clinical amounts of Slendesta®, an all-natural ingredient derived from potato skin extract that when ingested triggers the release of cholecystokinin in the body, increasing the duration of feelings of fullness.*

Slique Bars’ dual- targeted satiety approach and medley of exotic fruits, nuts, and science creates the perfect stimulant-free, nutritious snack to help you feel fuller longer.

This one I was really not looking forward to I have to admit, but when it came in it was the first thing I tried because I heard “it wasn’t like normal gum” So what do I mean by that? #AINTYOMAMASGUM

25659727_10214734462626031_4027547633773304137_n (1)

Instead of the synthetic gum base that most chewing gums are made from, Slique Gum is made from frankincense resin!! How great is that?! You’re actually chewing on frankincense!

So before you pop your first piece just keep that in mind – this is more of a resin than a gum in terms of texture. It was a little surprising to me at first but it’s grown on me!

Ancient travelers throughout the Middle East used raw frankincense resin for its nutritional content and ability to help control hunger. So naturally it makes the perfect addition to a weight management routine with its ability to help control food cravings and improve oral health.

For an oldie but a goodie for me which has been a staple ON THE DAILY! The next is NingXia Nitro! This is an absolutely MUST in my purse for energy and my goals of weight management! #AINTNOBODYGOTTIMEFORNAPS

25660422_10155286785343087_2762003491973400372_n (1)

And absolutely no #HEALTHCARE routine can be without my favorite NingXia Red!!!!! I get the reward kit each month with this one because my whole family drinks 2oz. daily and if everyone is sick around us then we drink more!

NingXia Red is one of Young Living’s most popular wellness supplements because it DELIVERS results! It’s a nutrient-rich drink infused with antioxidant-providing superfruits {wolfberry, aronia, blueberry, cherry, pomegranate, and plum} and powerful essential oils {Orange, Yuzu, Lemon and Tangerine}. NingXia Red contains vital nutrients that may be missing or low in many modern diets and that could be the key to experiencing abundant wellness and energy.

NingXia Red can help support normal cellular function, and help maintain healthy, happy blood sugar levels. It is fantastic to keep that immune system functioning at it’s BEST ever! (Just ask anyone who has run out of it. KEEP that BABY ON HAND!)

This drink is energizing, fortifying and revitalizing! Members report everything from increased energy levels and decreased sugar cravings! Whoopee! That right there is going to give you a Slique New You for the New Year!

It also supports normal eye health. It has so many different way to try it. A few of my favorite is adding Zyng (another addition to your health routine) Lime oil 🙂 yummy and Red Shot, which is a very rare oil blend that is specifically made for NingXia and tastes amazing!

Here’s a little incentive for you to join the challenge too! Being your best self is motivation enough but let’s face it, we all need a little boost. That is why Young Living is offering these amazing prizes to 12 winners with the largest transformation (total inches and pounds lost) in their category. #INCENTIVE

Weight Management to Support Your Healthy Lifestyle

January 15, 2018 blyssyourheart

Are you searching for a way to help you kick off your weight management support? Maybe you just want to shed a few pounds, get toned, or a complete lifestyle change? My journey didn’t start this year, it’s been pretty much an ongoing up and down battle for years now but last year was my WORST year and my breaking point. I am introducing a new weight loss support system that I am so excited about. We have so many products available and you can go check out my website for more products but I’ll only be talking about what I ordered! My beautiful friend did an event at the start of January that got me intrigued and seeing her journey has inspired me to give it a go!

I have a few printables you can download at the end to help get your routine set up and define your motivation. These are crucial steps to keep going on your weight loss journey even on the hardest days!

So let’s get into what I got excited about and a little info for your weight management support!

First Up We will talk about Slique CitraSlim™

Slique CitraSlim™ is a vegan product formulated with naturally derived ingredients to promote healthy weight management when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Slique CitraSlim features a two-capsule formulation in a convenient dual-serving daily sachet:

The once-daily liquid capsule delivers pomegranate seed oil, Lemongrass, Lemon Myrtle, and Idaho Balsam Fir essential oils. This blend is high in citral, which is a constituent that may increase metabolic activity.
Three power-packed powder capsules contain a proprietary citrus extract blend, cinnamon powder, bitter orange extract, feungreek seed, ocotea leaf extract, a customized blend of enzymes and four essential oils: Ocotea, Cassia, Spearmint, and Fennel. #IMREADYTOORDER

Next up is Slique Essence!

Slique Essence combines grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management support. These ingredients work together to help control hunger.

The pleasant citrus combination of grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon essential oils adds a flavorful and uplifting element to any day with the added support of spearmint that may help with digestion.

Ocotea essential oil adds an irresistible, cinnamon-like aroma to help control hunger, while stevia adds an all-natural sweetener that provides a sugar-free, pleasant taste with no added calories.

Slique® Shake is a complete meal replacement shake that provides quick, satisfying, and delicious nutrition. Formulated with Slique Essence Essential Oil Blend, this shake may support healthy weight management support when combined with regular exercise and a sensible diet. In a convenient single-serving packet, it’s easy to slip into a purse or pocket for healthy eating on the go.

Did you know, just by drinking a shake for breakfast instead of your normal breakfast foods saves on average about 1000 calories? #GOGRABYOURSHERE

Talk about Grab and Go, the slique bars are a perfect midday snack fix when you are too busy and forget lunch and need to go grab the kids before after school care closes haha!

Slique Bars are safe, innovative weight-management support tools that utilize a dual-target approach to help manage satiety. They are loaded with exotic baru nuts and wholesome almonds that promote satiation when combined with protein and fiber. The bars also contain clinical amounts of Slendesta®, an all-natural ingredient derived from potato skin extract that when ingested triggers the release of cholecystokinin in the body, increasing the duration of feelings of fullness.*

Slique Bars deliver essential nutrients and antioxidants through the addition of pure cinnamon, vanilla, and orange essential oils; a dried-fruit blend featuring goldenberries and wolfberries; and D. Gary Young’s exclusive dehydrated cacao nibs. Their dual- targeted satiety approach and medley of exotic fruits, nuts, and science creates the perfect stimulant-free, nutritious snack to help you feel fuller longer.

DIY Lip Balm

January 8, 2018May 25, 2018 blyssyourheart

During the winter months, my skin, hair, and face needs so much love because they become so dry!

I have tried every lip balm, stick, and oil out there. I am really picky about the consistency, flavor, taste and texture of what goes on my lips.

This is by far my most favorite lip balm AND it is incredibly cheap and DIY!!!

Here’s the recipe!!!

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (non fractionated) (here)

3 Tablespoons Shea Butter here (UPDATE-add for a better consistency and more nourishment)

1 Tablespoon Almond Oil (here)

1 Drops Peppermint essential oil (here)

You will want to slowly melt the coconut oil and shea butter in a pot or microwave safe bowl for about 20-40 seconds (depending on your microwave). Next add in the almond oil and stir. Lastly add the peppermint oil and pour into the container of your choice. I put mine in the fridge and it hardens super fast! I got mine here after I did my sample blue one (I got that one at Walmart in the travel container section in the beauty department)

You can also give these out which I made a whole bunch for giveaways and just increase it to the 1 to 3 ratios

*Remember not to use plastic for anything with a citrus oil if you decide to do a variation of this recipe 😉

I do receive compensation when you order oils or the starter kits through my links. You will also get my training and my team to help support you on your oily journey as well as some free goodies for joining (up to $25 in value)

Why I emptied our entire bathroom into the garbage can

December 30, 2017May 25, 2018 blyssyourheart

I’m shouting from my mountain top OKAY??!!??!! So on my journey of finding the right things that will benefit our family, finding essential oils and finding a chemical free lifestyle, has led me to look into every single thing we are doing. It has led me to read more labels at the grocery store, (believe in true organic foods and not just some scheme for people to make more money …old mindset ways..sigh..) And now it has led me to look at our health products, toothpaste, body wash, deodorant, literally anything we have been using in our bathroom. Let’s just say, I have placed a huge order from Young Living and Ill do a haul on my blyssyourheart facebook!

I cannot believe that for so many years I was not interested in learning about these things nor did I think the chemical free products were actually any safer and could help our lives improve so much! I was in the mindset that companies were just tricking people into getting “organic” and “all natural” and “chemical free” products because they were more expensive and they could slap a label on it and make more money. I will say that in doing the little research I have it is kind of both. There are true organic, chemical free products and there are people who put “natural” on their products but the FDA has not put any guidelines on what constitutes natural products. So please read your labels and better yet, download free Think Dirty app! like right now….I’ll wait…. You got it? Okay let’s continue… Here is some snapshots of things I had in my bathroom to scan: Interesting reads in here and even more in the app!

My experience with Think Dirty has been eye opening to say the least, I actually starting bawling my eyes out because I thought I was taking care of my family better than most. Do you see those words? REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY, ALUMINUM, OVARIAN CANCER, BREAST CANCER? There’s more but just to name a few. The reality of the matter is that even though I am trying to make conscious decisions to improve the overall quality of life of my family, I am still learning and growing! And that is okay. It is never going to be perfect and we cannot live in a bubble but small changes make the most difference over time!

So how do you start? Before you put something on or in your body, or use that bottle of cleaner on your counter and then cut an apple on top and eat it, or lather your body with those bath wash or soaps, think about it. That’s it. I will say the first step is to just think about it. You don’t have to go crazy and throw everything away and go out and buy everything different (whoa major budget crisis) but you do have to start somewhere. Read a label and google an ingredient. See what effects of that ingredient has. You can also simply scan your products, some of mine were not in the app but a lot of them were and guess what. Most of them were a 10 on the toxicity scale of being most toxic. OH.MY.GOODNESS. Nope, i didnt throw everything away but guess what. I went on that night to Young Living and ordered me new soaps, toothpaste, cleaners, hand soaps, and I took it from my grocery budget for the month since I already had to buy those things and replaced them (they are still on their way)

Knowledge is power, and I think that was my kryptonite of NOT STARTING to look at these things. I was overwhelmed and if I knew about these things and didnt change it then I was being lazy. Some of my excuses were “It was going to cost more and we couldn’t afford it!” “How bad could it be in reality?” “That’s alot of work to research those ingredients” “I just dont have time to learn about natural living” “I am doing ok at my job as a wife and mom and don’t need people telling me how to live!” Hmmph! Yes, I had them all. I had really bad feelings towards people who were trying to tell me differently. But guess what? I am so glad they didnt give up on me. When the timing was right, I dove in head first. I am stubborn and it took me a while (about 2 years to be exact) Constant posts and messages about being healthier and products, and their health improvements for me to really realize it’s time. I got to a point that my health was not good and I was seeing a doctor for migraines and different ailments and then being put on another medication for the symptoms of that medication, and all the while, no one asked me simple questions, like what’s in your diet, what are you using, could you be allergic to the things you are using on a daily basis. They diagnosed me with Migraines and Cluster headaches, and Anxiety, I have also been diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar at one point in my life and was treated for the symptoms of those. Then had to treat for the symptoms those medications gave. What is this nonsense??!?!?!

So, I am screaming from my mountain top and this is it! Knowledge is power, and when you Know Better you can Do Better!!!

So this is encouragement to give you a swift kick in the butt to go look into it!

I am having so much fun discovering new and different ways to use these chemical free products, I have been meeting so many great people and reconnecting with some that think the exact same way as I do, and all the while I get to grow this into a full time income! I would say win win..win!

If you are interested in learning more about the chemical free life and products I use got to my post on Joining Young Living!

December 20, 2017May 27, 2018 blyssyourheart

A year ago today I was at my all time low. I was depressed, not eating well, and on a downward spiral. I started looking into healthier eating habits, going to the gym and natural lifestyle choice which led me to this company. When you are all good to go let me know through the contact button and I will get you plugged into our educations groups, and get your materials to you!

There are so many toxins lurking in everything we used and we weren’t even aware. I didn’t know all of my beauty products, body washes, baby lotions and even in our dish soap were full of all kinds of nasty chemicals linked to cancer, infertility, hormonal imbalance and disease. Yes, I was floored too. I literally stayed up that night scanning every product through a free app called Dirty Thirty seeing what was hiding in my house.

I don’t know it all yet and I am learning and applying the knowledge DAILY of new ways to improve our health. Over the past few months we are seeing so much improvement for my family’s little health issues. So far my skin has improved, my energy has been lifted, and I am beginning to feel the abundance of true health.

I am so excited for the journey I am on with the blog and my new healthy lifestyle! I cannot believe the special opportunities that flow when you let go of what YOU want and YOU think needs to happen and just go with what is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!
