**read the disclaimers at the bottom of this post**

OOOhhhh man. Y'all. I am beyond stoked to tell you about my little experiment and the results thereof. But first, I have to backtrack a bit and give you some details leading up to this.

I'm a mom of 3 kiddos which means my body has been through the changes pregnancy brings to a body 3 separate times. Can I tell you? It's hard to recover from that, physically speaking. 

I began to hear this sort of conversation happen amidst moms that sounded something like "Your body will never be the same" and "You can't go back to that young body after you've been pregnant". And since I was seeing how different my body looked, I just agreed and went along with that school of thought. 

But back in February of this year, I had started to think about making an attempt at taking control and taking my body back. Honestly, I wanted an easy way out. I started an essential oil regiment where I used Lemon, Peppermint, and Grapefruit Vitality oils in my water and saw absolutely no major changes....because I was doing literally nothing else different. I snacked like crazy on all kinds of sugary snacks and never ever limited my portions...and exercise? Pfft. No time for that! 

From there, I began to suffer from a sort of body dimorphic disorder where I only ever saw myself as fat, lumpy, and gross. This is a dangerous place for my mind to go because I went through an anorexic period in life while a abusive boyfriend would tell me multiple times a day how fat I was. I have fought every day to not return to that behavior because I have 3 beautiful kiddos who watch me very closely. 

That leads me to this experiment. I had watched this product being revealed at the Young Living Convention this year and thought, "Now. Don't wait any longer. Take the leap, take back your body, and set a healthy example for your little ones and friends." I ordered myself a box of Slique CitraSlim and waited for it to arrive at my doorstep. 

Once it arrived, I looked the box over to see exactly what the product would help me achieve along with directions on how I should be using it. It was very specific and I took it literally. I had to take the supplement while eating a sensible diet and doing regular exercise. "Ok" I thought to myself. "It's time to go all-in...and here I go."

Let's cover a few more details on Slique CitraSlim before I tell you what I did on my own and show you my progress so far (I can't wait to show you!!!). What exactly does this supplement claim to help with? Check this out. 

Y'all, these claims are huge! When I read that, I couldn't wait to get started. (I also encourage you to check out the Slique in 60 program & guarantee. It's good, good stuff! ) 

Since I started using this, I have felt more energetic and have seen a HUGE difference in my mood, my cravings, and my body. 

How did I use this? While following the dosage directions, I added in exercise nearly every day and started being more careful with my food choices. I also started drinking A LOT more water. By "a lot", I mean around 64 oz. per day.  For my size, I only need to drink 50, but a good work out automatically guarantees I'm going to drink a ton of water. 

Exercise:  Friends? I do this all at home when I'm able to get to it (morning or afternoon). I've been enjoying the workout playlists that Refit Revolution posts on YouTube and will be subscribing to their on demand work outs through their website soon. (And maybe buying some cute workout gear, too? Yah. Probably buying cute gear too. lol)

I have had THE BEST time working out with these gals via technology and am seeing serious changes in my muscle tone and even my self-confidence & self-esteem. 

Goals: Possibly become a Refit instructor to teach other people the ways of family friendly dance fitness. Also, find a used elliptical and use that in between big work outs. 

Eating: In my home, we always have healthy options on hand for meals and snacks...but we also have some junk food around too. Since I've had such a horrible relationship with food in the past, I wanted to be reasonable going into this experiment. I LET myself eat things like Peanut Butter M&M's or some other sweet snack from time to time. I think to deny myself all that kind of thing is going to put me in a bad mindset right now. The beautiful thing is that my cravings have totally changed which means I don't want to binge on any unhealthy thing. I WANT to make healthy choices and am totally fine with finding out what a "serving size" is on a snack food and sticking with that. Admittedly, when I ended up eating junk, it wasn't because I craved it, it was because I saw it and thought I would like to have it whether I was hungry for it or not. 

Goals: To continue to care for myself this way and make more protein shakes than I eat junky treats. (While still allowing myself to eat things like cheesecake...y'all...I couldn't ever give up cheesecake!)

RESULTS:  Friends, this is the difference 15 days using this supplement with exercise and healthy food choices makes. Ready? 

AHH!!!! I can't tell you how much I love this and how inspired I am. When I first put these photos together I couldn't help but cry happy tears. Yes, I'm getting results. But I'm also so proud of myself because I'm doing this in a healthy way that honors my mind, my body, and my soul. This has been the most positive change for me and I'm going to keep going.  I lost over 3 inches in my waist line, 1.5 inches around my hips, and 5 pounds...ALL IN 15 DAYS! That is only 1/4 of the way through the Slique in 60 program I mentioned earlier.  WOO HOO!

Goals: To strengthen my core, build muscle definition, and focus on healthy food choices while maintaining my current results. 

*My results may not be typical and can vary on an individual basis.*

Check out the Supplement Facts and Ingredients...This is a product made of things that have the same Seed to Seal guarantee as the bottles of essential oils I have on my shelf. I love that so much. I know that there were no shortcuts taken in the production of this supplement and I absolutely recommend this to anyone. Just be sure that it's cool between you and your doctor before you jump in, mmmkay? 

AANNND...if you're ready to jump in, y'all let me know! Let's do this together. I can get you all set up whether you want a starter kit or just the supplement itself. Comment here, email me, message me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...whatev! ASK YOUR QUESTIONS. Let's chit chat and take back our bodies, our self esteem, our confidence, and our health.

My Fitness Journey - Using NEW Slique CitraSlim From Young Living

Most of us vacuum. I have on my chore chart to vacuum my home every Monday. Basically, I don't just run a vacuum around the floor. I also edge the room and get up in the top corners, etc. I love  the gratification of getting the rugs and carpets super clean but I want to use that as an opportunity to freshen up my home at the same time. 

What I don't use is the "carpet deodorizers" that you'd find on some store shelf somewhere. I think those just make an attempt to freshen up the space while never really doing anything but adding a scent to whatever other dingy scents are in the rug or carpet. Instead, I grab a few simple ingredients and make my own carpet powder. 

When I whipped this up the last time, I used Purification oil to completely get rid of any unpleasant smells and Peppermint to scare the bugs away. :)   Some people like to use something other than peppermint and that's great. It's completely up to you to customize it the way you like. 

I also used a small Ball jar and a petal top to act like a shaker so only a little comes out of the jar at a time. :) 

Have fun with this easy DIY! If you need any essential oils or have questions about them or why I chose Young Living, just click the Essential Oils link on the top index bar.

Chemical Free Carpet Powder ~ DIY

Years ago, when Alex was very small and making all sorts of finger prints and mouthy-slobbery-drooling baby marks all over my door wall, I couldn't take it. I honestly couldn't take it and I had to go back to that glass door and clean it on the daily. But this is the part where I kick myself and say "I wish I would have known a better way."

At that time I was using store-bought glass cleaner. You know the stuff. It comes in a spray bottle and has a completely unnatural blue color. What I hate is that I was using something loaded in chemicals on a window where my son put his mouth.  And I don't want to sound like a preachy mom. No. That's not my intention. I just want to spotlight this single scenario as an example. {AKA, I'm the bad guy here.}

So fast forward with me to last year. A friend of mine was raving, raving, raving about this chemical free household cleaner that was infused with essential oils. I honestly wanted to laugh at first. "How cute. I'll bet it smells great. But does it actually clean anything?"  She swore to me it was good for a number of things and it came in a bottle of concentrate so I could just dilute one capful for one spray bottle of water and get to cleaning.

Huh.

Y'all, I was a complete skeptic.   And yet, here I am a full year later about to tell you about the same stuff. It's my answer to most things "Spring Cleaning".  

I use this bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner made by Young Living. I promise you it's a game changer because it works and has cut out the household cleaner chemicals since I've started using it. It's also super cost effective since it's purchased as a concentrate, making it less than $1 per spray bottle I make!

If you read my post on the cleaning calendar I use, you'll see that Tuesday is the day I clean all windows and mirrors.   I grab 3 things.

1. My bottle of water + Thieves Household Cleaner
2. My squeegee
3. My microfiber cloth {to wipe the squeegee with and catch any drips on the edge of the window/mirrow}

I'm left with no streaks, no smudges left behind, no chemicals, and super clean surfaces! {And since it's infused with essential oils, my home is left with a light, cinnamon-ish smell.}

Check out my before and after from my chore day over spring break. You'll notice my son's legs across my bed. :)  

 I changed the "After" angle just a tad so you could see I was still taking a picture of a mirror and not a straight shot into my bedroom. The smudges on the "Before" picture are all thanks to my 4 year old. She simply loves to mess up the full length mirror in our hallway. Ha!

I did say earlier in this post that I use this cleaner for a lot of things. I'll be happy to show you how I use it around my home as we head into Spring Cleaning season, one job at a time.

Should you have any questions about how you can get your hands on this cleaner, please email me, comment below {and I'll get back to you} or click on the "Essential Oils" tab at the top of my page.

Bring on Spring and bring on Clean!

It was when all the questions starting coming, that I made the decision to call myself "Independent" and "Leader".  At that time, I figured that while I was using my essential oils and learning the beautiful ways they benefit my family and our wellness, I may as well help other people do the same as a job. So I took on the position and felt like I had just stepped into this tiny canoe shoving off shore into some big waves.

I'm confident.
I'm unsure.
I know the answer.
I have no idea what I'm doing.         And are they on to me?     Why would anyone want to work with me?

Up and down and up and down - the waves left my face green and my knuckles white, trying to cling to the oar someone tossed to me before I started this "Independent" business. I knew what I wanted to do but I suddenly felt dumb. "I have no idea how to do that. Hm. Let me Google it and see how others have done it."   And I'm not trying to say that pulling inspiration from someone else is bad. But I wasn't pulling inspiration. I was looking for ways to photoshop my face on someone else's success.

I felt frustrated and even a little annoyed at myself for thinking things like "Well, that's a really great idea, but I don't think I would do it that way {but what do I know?}" while sitting in business meetings and watching business videos on YouTube.  How dare I look at super successful people and say "I don't think I want to do that"!

Or. Is that not the right tone to take?

I'm sure if my mom were here in this conversation right now, she'd pipe in with something like "Yah, but you've always wanted to do things your own way. You've never liked being like everyone else." Because as far back as I can remember, that's who I've been. Yes, I like the trends, but I always have my own flair on whatever it is.

And I have my own story, and talents, and things that make me tick too. There are things I've been created to do that refuse to fall in line as a photocopy of someone else.

That's true for you too.

So, this morning I was watching Monique Mclean talk about catching a vision for my business. LIGHTBULB MOMENT! I had no vision for my business. I was grabbing for anything and everything I could get my hands on because "I don't know what this is supposed to look like but I must need all these ideas and these words and these graphics and...."   Y'all, that's exactly how you drown: Flailing around trying to grab onto anything so you can be called something {i.e. a status level}.

I know why I'm in this business and I know where I'd like to get in one year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years. But knowing all of that and not having a vision for how you plan to get there is going to get.you.nowhere.

Today, I'm working on catching my vision and giving myself permission to be who I am. I want to honor those who have made it further than I have with the company as well as those who are getting their bearings in my downline. But as for ME, I have to begin with looking at my gifts and talents and set out on my own path.

Here is one thing I know for sure. I know that my main focus is YOU and sharing my heart, my experiences, and life in general with you. Another big part of this focus is in encouragement. There is just nothing like talking to someone else, hearing their heart, and speaking right to them in the moment. It makes my heart so full to speak life to others.

So, I guess this right here can be considered the cornerstone of my business from 2016 on: Psalm 119:105 (ESV) "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." 

I can't do this by myself but I'm meant to be all of who I am on this journey to bring Him glory. Amen.

Yes! A Pumpkin Party!!

Why am I doing this? Well, first, I'm over the moon excited that Peace & Calming is back in stock in the warehouse. We've been without it all summer because the last harvest of one of the oils in this blend was below the quality level that Young Living has set. I'm proud to work with a company that won't just push out product but cares about the quality living up to their high standards...even if that means we have to wait a bit for it to come back in stock.

Peace & Calming has been an answer to prayer for me! Every time my threenager taps into her "Hulk-itude", every time life piles up on my shoulders, and so on - I'm so thankful for this oil blend!!

So, let's party! Let's get you started in your oily journey by saving Half-Off by purchasing your kit, 24% off going forward on any of your purchases with no obligation to do anything else (ever!), and I'll throw in Peace & Calming for FREE!

I whipped these up for an essential oil class I gave the other night and offered them as gifts. And, y'all? This sugar scrub is easy to make while it also smells like summer!  

Let me just pause right here and tell you that if you've never used a sugar scrub before, you're missing out. This is a wonderful and natural way to exfoliate skin and make it soft. {Again, the summer months are upon us making this the perfect time for this!}

What you'll need: {aka what I used for this}

• 4oz canning jar{s}
• Grape seed oil {Or olive oil if you prefer}
• Organic Cane Sugar
• Lime essential oil - or whatever scent you like
• I ONLY recommend using Young Living essential oils

How to Make Your Sugar Scrub:

• Fill your canning jar with cane sugar. I used the ribs on the top as a guide for a "stop here" line.  
• Drop in your essential oil. I did about 15 to 20 drops per jar to give it a light and enjoyable scent. Feel free to do more or less. 

• Add in one to two Tablespoons of grape seed oil. {This part is fully dependent on how dry or wet you want your scrub to be. I wanted mine to scoop out easily without making a mess.}
• Stir. {I used a butterknife and stirred slowly so I didn't spill sugar all over the place}  :)

• Wah-Lah! Your sugar scrub is ready to use or gift!  

** To add a cute touch, I used chalkboard stickers with a chalk marker. {Both can be found at a craft store near you!}

What essential oil would you use for your sugar scrub?

What are essential oils? Essential oils are vital fluids extracted from plants. They're referred to as "essential" because they are literally the part of the plant keeping it alive.

And though it may seem like essential oils are the "new fad", they've actually been around and used by people for thousands of years. You can diffuse them or simply smell them to lift the feeling of your room or even your own mood. They also have properties that can be used as a chemical free cleaner and even part of a daily beauty routine. 

Let's talk about how essential oils work! They are actually made up of molecules that are so tiny that you can find 40 million-trillion molecules in one drop. And yes, that's a big number but also consider this, it's also 40,000 times the number of molecules that exists within our bodies. It's their tiny size that makes it so easy for them to absorb into our bodies when applied topically. 

I can tell you with confidence, that the very best way to learn how essential oils work is to try them! Young Living has created a kit for people just getting started on their oily journey. In fact, it's how I got started too! It's called the Premium Starter Kit. I'll tell you more about it.

The Premium Starter Kit

*Please note: The kit described below is the one available in the U.S.A. If you live in a different country and are interested in what your starter kit consists of, please email me at AmyClaryYL@gmail.com. 

The Premium Starter Kit is hands-down, the best way to get started on your oily journey with Young Living. While you will find other options, this is the way you want to go if you're frugal like me and want to get the best bang for your buck. The value is outstanding and the kit starts at only $160. Every starter kit comes with:

• The Premium Starter Kit Oils ($150 value) which consists of ten (10) 5 mL bottles of essential oils: 
• Lavender 
• Peppermint 
• Lemon 
• Frankincense 
• PanAway 
• Copaiba 
• Thieves 
• Purification 
• R.C. 
• DiGize 
• (One or more of the Flex oils may be substituted in the event of sourcing or supply constraints: AromaEase, Citrus Fresh, Lemongrass, Orange, or Tea Tree.)
• 5 mL *BONUS* bottle of Stress Away
• A Diffuser ($83-$296 value, depending on which you choose)
• AromaGlide Roller Fitment
• Two NingXia Red 2-oz. samples
• Two sample packets each of Lavender, Peppermint, Peace & Calming, Lemon, and Thieves
• Ten sample oil bottles
• Ten sample business cards (to attach to the sample oil bottles)
• Product Guide & Product Price List
• Essential Oil Magazine 
• Essential Edge
• Member Resources

Let's take a closer look at the 10 oils included in the starter kit! {Descriptions of following oils have been taken from the Young Living website; YoungLiving.com}

Copaiba essential oil may promote wellness, and can be an important part of a daily health regimen*. This oil includes the naturally occurring constituents beta-caryophyllene and alpha-humulene, and can be mixed with honey and warm water for a warming, essential oil-infused tea.

 DiGize™ is one of Young Living's exclusive and proprietary dietary supplements. This unique blend contains Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Peppermint, Tarragon, Lemongrass, Patchouli, and Juniper essential oils, and includes naturally occurring constituents like menthol, citrol, and zingiberen. Use DiGize with every meal, along with Essentialzymes-4™, to support a daily wellness regimen*. When traveling abroad, use DiGize as a dietary supplement in your water. DiGize is an ideal complement to the nutritional supplements ComforTone® and JuvaTone®.

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) includes the naturally occurring constituent boswellic acid, and has a woodsy, warm, balsamic aroma. Diffuse Frankincense during meditation for grounding and purpose. Applying this oil topically may help smooth the appearance of healthy-looking skin, and is excellent to use for massage after activity.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a sweet, floral aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Lavender’s aroma is great for relaxing and winding down before bedtime; add to bath or diffuse to create a calming and comforting environment. Lavender essential oil may compliment your favorite shampoos, lotions and skin care products. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it.

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

PanAway® has a stimulating aroma and is a popular and original combination of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils formulated by D. Gary Young. This blend is ideal to apply topically after exercise, and supports the appearance of healthy skin coloration. The essential oils in PanAway include naturally occurring constituents methyl salicylate, gamma-curcumene, menthol, and eugenol.

 Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for supporting normal digestion, including promoting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal system comfort.*

 Purification® Essential Oil Blend helps freshen the air and eliminate odors with its unique combination of Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavandin, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Myrtle essential oils, and includes naturally occurring compounds cineol, neral, and geranial.

I'm an introverted follower. By that, I mean I tend to observe things others are doing and try to apply it to my own life, my own way, to see if it will stick or help at all. {Just for the record, I SHOULD NOT have approached this topic that way. DO NOT go out and buy things without doing research.}

This is how I approached essential oils. I remember a time a year or so ago when I had a string of migraines and someone reached out to me telling me I should try essential oils. And then she hit me with the price of her oils. I thought she was nuts. I had no idea if oils would even help so why would I spend ALL THAT money on something....especially when I just found a whole bunch of "essential oils" online for far less. In fact, for the same price she gave me, I found a box of 6 different oils. "Score", right?

Nope. Not at all a "score".

These so-called "100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils" were thrown into my daily life. But I couldn't figure out why the lemon oil smelled only lemon-ish, and the peppermint oil smelled nothing like peppermint and exactly like citrus. I honestly shrugged it off and thought "What do I know about essential oils? Maybe this is what it's supposed to smell like."  And here's the scary part. I kept USING THESE OILS. I put them on my skin and, because the bottle said it was ok, I put the lemon oil IN MY WATER. Guys {and gals}, Knowing what I know not about essential oils, it scares me that I ever did that and I'm so thankful for whatever oily angel was protecting me. {ha, ha}  ;)

Obviously, what I was using in these watered down oils was not working for me...so I began to do research. I found 2 top brands of essential oils, one of which was what my Facebook friend recommended from the get-go. And then I was able to have a brief conversation with someone at my church who sold the other top brand. She told me "Whatever you decide to go with, make sure to do your research first".   Friends, her words were gold to me and that's what actually led me to go with Young Living Essential Oils.

I read about their Seed To Seal guarantee and watched the videos. Then another friend told me that I can call a customer service rep at any time and give them the number imprinted on the back of any bottle of oil and they will tell me every step of that oil's process...from seed to seal. They keep track of it all. I have no problem getting behind a brand that operates their own farms and distilleries while documenting the life and harvest of each plant then testing, testing, and more testing to be sure that the oils distilled meet the standard they've set for themselves above the status quo. 

That decided it for me, I made some samples at her house and immediately began seeing results. My son went to bed easier and with less stress, my immune system is strong enough to knock a cold right out of the ballpark, that seasonal gook and stuffiness has found relief, I'm sleeping better, and stress levels are now under control.

There are even more things I've seen from using Young Living Essential Oils, but you and I would need more time to chat.

These oils are simply amazing to me! I promise, I'm not one to talk something like this up if it isn't worth it. Had I been mad about my investing in essential oils, I would have told you that too. Be these work to support my system naturally and I'm beyond thrilled.
