Are you ready? We are about to dive right into the basics of the integumentary system. In other words, we are going to talk about your hair, skin, and nails - and how to support them!
So often we look at our hair, skin, or nails and think it only needs support from the surface, but that is not the case! Now don’t get me wrong, taking care of those things topically matters. But what I want to challenge you with today is to focus on what’s happening on the inside and how it affects what you see happening on the outside.
Our body is a complex web of interworking systems. When your liver is abused, you might start to notice it in the color of your skin. When your gut isn’t working properly, you might start to notice things like psoriasis or eczema. When your hormones are imbalanced, you might start to see an increase in acne or hair loss. See how it all connects?
Well, don’t let that overwhelm you. We will discuss the basics of the integumentary system so you can see the whole picture. Then we will talk about some of the WORST things you can do and some of the BEST things you can do for your hair, skin, and nails. We want you to leave feeling more empowered than ever! Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Whether she needs a little time to relax, some extra energy from taking care of all the things, some time for pampering, a little emotional TLC, or just some good old-fashioned rest, here are a few ideas that we love!
Health and wellness is on the rise but many products that are being advertised as “safe” and “all-natural”, are anything but. The packages are pretty and the labels are clever, but the more you dig, the more you find out. Let me help you decide what’s truly safe and give you the tools you need to start making simple swaps for a healthier home.
The American Lung Association explains how many common household cleaning products can lead to health problems like eye and throat irritation, headaches, respiratory issues, allergic reactions, worsened asthma, and possibly even cancer! Yuck!! We don’t want that.
Read more...Did you know that wearing perfume or cologne is a confidence booster?! People say they feel more confident when they have a killer scent on. Some people even feel ‘naked’ when they forget to put it on during their daily routine. Whether you're a daily wearer or you only apply for special occasions, we all know the power of smell. They can transport us thru time and space to grandma's kitchen, or a sweet childhood memory out in nature with friends or family. They can also leave a lasting impression of US on others. The smell of your tantalizing perfume will linger in their mind.....
Unfortunately, cosmetic fragrances, body sprays, lotions, and perfumes are not all they are cracked up to be.
Yep.... there are toxic chemical synthetics lurking in there too. Cancer
is not sexy. Disrupted hormones...not sexy. Infertility. Not sexy. So how can you smell like a goddess safely?!
I've got your back, once again.
A pretty important ditch & switch...
As the gatekeepers of our homes, we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and our families. This month, we're making a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch personal lubricants and use nontoxic massage oils instead!
When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinder us in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don’t harm our health is with this line of massage oils. For use as a personal lubricant, Relaxation or Sensation Massage Oil would be a great choice.

If you're ready to ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb, zoned out, or worse than you did when you started them, reach for the CBD Drops or CBD Roll-on and find a way to physically process the emotions. Don't push them away or stuff them. Allow yourself to feel them, apply CBD, and move your body to release stored emotions. Walk, swim, jog, dance, just move! This movement paired with CBD can help you process whereas buffering with a coping mechanism cannot.

Read more...WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils are aromatic, volatile liquids distilled from plants. The oil can be obtained from the roots, seeds, shrubs, flowers, leaves, and trees, and bring health and healing to the body. They provide support for every system in the body: skeletal, muscular, circulatory, endocrine, respiratory, and immune systems, by equalizing hormones, supporting brain health, and a healthy weight.
Tis the season for runny noses and germs. Now I know there’s a whole school of thought that germs aren’t bad and we should all just relax and shake the hands of strangers, and open bathroom doors without using a toe/Matrix maneuver, and just go on eating that soft pretzel that fell on the floor of the mall food court.

Hey friends,
As I get ready for a class I’ll be giving tonight I started to reflect on how I became interested in essential oils. To be honest, years ago I was reluctant, a non-believer, and hesitant when it came to oils. That said, I’m overly joyed and grateful that that I was introduced to them and forever thankful that oils are in my life. Here is my story why…
A few years ago our family had, perhaps, it’s most challenging year. It was littered with moving trucks, hotel rooms, long drives, and plane rides; the year truly stressed our family. During that year we moved from Kansas to Florida for John to receive flight training, then from Florida to Illinois (thanks Mom and Dad!) for a temporary landing spot while John deployed overseas, and then from Illinois to a temporary VRBO house while we waited for a longer permanent option to present itself.
Curious about exactly what’s inside the Young Living Starter Kit? Our kit just got a HUGE upgrade, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take you behind the scenes and share with you a few details on all the amazing goodies inside the kit.
It’s important to get started the RIGHT way when you jump into the oily world. It can be so overwhelming and unsafe without the proper guidance but with my help, you’ll be taking one small, safe step at a time and make huge gains. I want to be a one-stop-shop for my members. When you get your Premium Starter Kit through me, you’ll receive a box of tools, a facetime or video call helping you set up your kit, and all of the education you’ll need to make your next steps.
When you’re a wholesale member with Young Living, EVERYTHING you purchase will be discounted 24%! As an added perk, you’re able to earn an income! The majority of people who purchase a Premium Starter Kit simply purchases for the deep discount and not to start a business, but it’s always an option! I offer one-on-one training to anyone on my team who wants to do this as a business, whether your goal is to earn enough to pay for your oils or replace your current income.
Let’s talk about this starter kit. Whether you want to keep your family healthy, use essential oils to support your kids’ sleep, use essential oils to support your stress level, or detox your home the Premium Starter Kit is the way to go. You can get it for $165 and it really does set you up to support most issues ranging from digestion, nontoxic cleaning, stress, focus, weight, sleep, and so much more. If you purchased the pieces separately, it would cost you over $400!
BACK TO SCHOOL WITH ESSENTIAL OILS!
Hi friends! Amber and I were just talking about what we can do to support students and teachers as we all go back to school. My kids go back to school on Wednesday this week, so I’m gathering our whole arsenal of back-to-school products, oils, procedures, and getting everything set up asap. I thought who better to talk to than my favorite oily teacher about all this! I hope you enjoy this little chat with Amber as much as I did.
If you need to grab some oils to get ready for school and you need Amber to hook you up, order here and you won’t regret it! She’ll be in touch shortly after your order processes!
