My first doTerra Essential Oils Class

I am getting ready to do my first doTerra class.  Considering I have never even been to one myself, it is a little intimidating.  I just keep telling myself that all I have to do is share the incredible experiences I have had using these oils, let those that come sample some and the oils will do the rest!!  

If you are in the Indianapolis area, please join me!!

Slim and Sassy Challenge 2013

Here is the beginning of the end of my unhealthy ways!!  I am not getting any younger, but I do keep putting on the pounds.  No, I'm not "obese" as the charts like to say, but I would like to get in a healthier place. 

(By the way...I hate that word...OBESE)

Well, I guess I will just put it out there how much I weigh and then I make myself accountable to all of you to do better and get healthier.  

Here goes:

My STARTING weight:  148.2 lbs.

I would like to lose 20 lbs.  I'm not as concerned about the number as I am about how I feel and look.  So, we will see where I end up on this journey.  I invite any of you reading this to join me in this journey.

As many of you know, I am a wife and mother to 6 kids.  So, I am a pretty busy girl.  I can come up with loads (no pun intended...haha) of excuses as to why I can't exercise but I am going to try and change that.  I would really like to commit to walking at least 30 minutes a day / 5 days per week.

I am also using doTerra's Slim and Sassy shakes, essential oils, and vitamins for my journey!!

(the deep Blue rub and Deep blue oil were free products I earned when 

I purchased this kit and the 2 oils Coriander and Bergamot!)

You can go here for more info about these products!!  You can go here if you are interested in purchasing these products or contact me and I will help you order them.

May 2, 2013 was my official start date.  I will post my progress once a week on here.  I would love to hear from you about your journey.  Please go to my facebook page here and like my page!!  I would love to share encouragement, ideas and updates on that page!!

I want to be the best example I can to my husband and children of health and happiness!!  

I'm so excited for this journey!!  I hope you will join me!!

Ready, Set...GO!!

Hospital Trial!!

WOW!!  I diffuse multiple oils in my home every day so I know that these oils DO help you to feel better, less stressed and less frustrated!!  I would love it if the hospitals I go to would incorporate these oils.

WELCOME!!

Hello everyone!!  Welcome to my new blog!!  

This blog will be a place to share my adventures with doTerra essential oils!  I look forward to sharing information, and great stories with you.  I am also looking forward to receiving information from all of you!! 

Well, I guess it's time to get started!!  

Ready, set...GO!!

My first doTerra experience!!

I went to Colorado to visit my sister and to attend my niece's baby shower at the beginning of March.  The first night I was there, I started getting a migraine.  I get chronic migraines.  My sister had just started using the oils a few weeks before.  She also suffers from migraines.  She told me to try this oil she had called Past Tense. 

I put it on and about 20 minutes later, I was standing in the kitchen and realized that my migraine was going away.  I was SHOCKED!!  I put some more on later and was hooked...that fast!! :)  I also have used peppermint in conjunction with Past Tense.  I have only had to take my medicine once since I started using these oils (and that was really only because I was paranoid that it would get out of hand).  This has really been such a blessing for me!!  My 13 year old daughter also suffers from severe migraines and has experienced the same success.  Past Tense works for normal headaches and tension headaches as well!!

What do you love to use Past Tense for?

What are doTerra Essential Oils?

What is an essential oil?

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease andplay a role in plant pollination. 

Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.

Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils.

In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends towards more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.

They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy.
