Day 11 Loving YL - Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar & Rosemary Dip

Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar & Rosemary Dip using Rosemary Essential oil Young Living

Tonight I baked Rosemary Chicken with potatoes. I was running low on Rosemary and had just enough to make the chicken. French bread with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and rosemary dip is one of my favorite side dishes. Since I ran out of rosemary, I just used a drop of my rosemary essential oil instead. Make sure you only use Young Living essential oils when ingesting any essential oil and read the label for details.

Rosemary essential oil helps support a healthy lifestyle regimen and well-being. This oil provides a savory addition to many meats marinades, side dishes, and dressings. Rosemary includes the naturally occurring constituents eucalyptol and alpha-pinene, and is an important ingredient in many Young Living products including Thieves®, En-R-Gee™, and JuvaFlex™ essential oil blends, Essentialzymes-4™ and Inner Defense™.

Day 8 Loving YL - Copaiba Vanilla Moisturizing Shampoo

Copaiba Vanilla Moisturizing Shampoo by Young Living - Diaper Rash Cream

Between my obsessive nightly washing of my hair and bad genes, my hair is dry. Really dry. Since I can only use fragrance free shampoo and conditioners, my selection is limited. I've been using Origins for the past 7 years. It is alright, I like it - but I don't LOVE it. It is not made for dry hair. I've been wanting to try the Young Living Copaiba Vanilla Moisturizing Shampoo for some time now. Finally I ordered some and started using it last week. I LOVE it! My hair feels amazing! My hair is more moisturized and softer than before. I am one of those OCD people that only like to try one new product at a time, so I haven't used the conditioner yet. I figured I give the shampoo a full week of use before I add that. I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm sure it will be amazing as well. I love the light fresh scent of the shampoo. Besides the copaiba and vanilla essential oils, it contains lime essential oil, which I can smell as well.

Plant-based, safe and environmentally responsible, Copaiba Vanilla Moisturizing Shampoo is a rich hydrating cleanse for dry or damaged hair.

Stress Away is the first product to contain the unique stress-relieving combination of lime and vanilla pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Day 5 Loving YL - Refresher & Pick me up

Refresher & Pick me up Young Living Grapefruit essential oil

We are on day three of 3 day Potty Training and I am flat exhausted! Potty training a 26 month old, while still taking care of an 8 month old is hard work. I need something to lift my spirits and mood. I add 2 drops of my Young Living Grapefruit essential oil to a tall glass of water. Does the trick every time. Make sure you are using a glass cup when drinking essential oils. Essentials oils breakdown the toxins in plastics which then goes into your water. My favorite glass bottle is the Lifefactory Glass Bottle. If you don't have grapefruit essential oil you can use Lemon, Lime or Orange. Do not ingest any other brand of essential oils.

Being sick on vacation, then coming home with a sick baby from vacation sucked! So today I needed a vacation from my vacation! I finally got a relaxing massage thanks to my amazing massage therapist! Like always, I brought my essential oils for her to mix into her massage oil base. This is my standard trio that I bring with me. After the massage I felt relaxed and energized both at the same time. And smelled great!

Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil includes the naturally occurring constituent limonene. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods.
