<br />
I've been MIA for a while, and I'll admit it, I kinda liked it ;). But NOW it's back to the basics! I'm so ready to be back to sharing how my crunchy life is getting along. But first, an update.<br />
<br />
Our oilRup family is bigger than ever, and we are ready for this new season. A season of growth, and exploration. We are ready to have YOU on our team. Over the last year or so, we've had steady growth, and it's been lots of fun! We had 6 people from our oilRup team up in Utah for Young Living's convention, and it was a BLAST!<br />
<br />

<br />
Speaking of convention, I made a commitment this year! A commitment to go Chemical free on my hair care products--I'm getting there. Ditched the gel and hair spray. I am currently using a hair spritz from Melissa Poepping's (<a href="http://www.melissapoepping.com/" target="_blank">shout-out!</a> this chick even has her own makeup line) booklet "Chemical Free Home". And I just started using Young Living's Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner--so far, I'm loving it. It seems like I can actually go longer between shampooing. I think I may try to do the no-poo method between shampoos to make the product last longer. Now to find a chem free hair spray--if you know of one, link it to me in the comments, pretty please!<br />
<br />
Speaking of--sorry ;)--Chemical free. About this time last year, one of my most awesome friends, Pia (<a href="http://www.piadixon.norwex.biz/" target="_blank">shout out!</a>--again, sorry ;)) introduced me to a cool company called Norwex. I just love how well it goes along with my Young Living lifestyle! So I just use water to clean 100% of my home, and 100% of my body....yes, you heard that right, I haven't used body wash in nearly a year! This stuff works, come sit by me ;).<br />
<br />
I've ditched Paleo, and I've been sticking with the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan. It's quite lovely, if I do say so myself. This plan is so super functional. I lost nearly 25 lbs the first 8 weeks I was on it, and I was eating such yummy stuff--still am! So if you hear me "talking" about THM, this is it, and I happen to think it's AH-mazingly delicious!<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, one more thing--I'M GETTING MARRIED! Yes! October 17, we are "sailing away" with our friends and family, and on October 19 we will be wed on the beautiful beach in Cozumel, Mexico. I seriously can't even express how lucky I am that my friends and family (oh, and Chris!) have agreed to this wedding....seriously the luckiest! So along with my new "commitment" to blogging again, comes a commitment to this cool dude. I'm good with that....and maybe he'll even keep me in check..... yeah, probably not, but it'll be fun to see :)<br />
<br />

<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
At Young Living's Grand International Convention in Salt Lake City this year we talked a lot about DREAMING, and GOALS. Those are kind of crazy words, and even crazier actions. We need to be teaching our children more about their dreams, and that it's okay to be afraid of your dreams. When you're afraid of something, it means you've got something to lose.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
So anyway, <br /><br />
<br /><br />
My first goal from Convention was going to be to make a video of the <br />
Freedom Bundle. And I wanted to get it put on YouTube by 7/15/14. Well, <br />
guess what?? I made it, and I made it with a good 36 hours to spare. And<br />
in the last 36 hours, my video has had 96 views.....NINETY-SIX! That's <br />
pretty huge. I know this thing will go far, and I can't wait. I did have to <br />
put some Valor Essential oil on before posting, because, well it is <br />
SCARY to put yourself on the internet! I hope you all enjoy, and I hope <br />
this video truly reflects my heart. Much love to y'all! <br /><br />
<br /><br />

If you are one of those unfortunate souls who doesn't get to experience the HEAT of living in Southwest Oklahoma, this might not apply to you. However, if you are LUCKY enough to live in one of the southern states, you know what H-O-T truly means.<br />
<br />
We have been having cookouts, and hiking, and going to the pool, and even the lake! So what do we do to stay cool?? We use this AWESOME cooling spray!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
4 oz spray bottle, preferably glass (I get mine <a href="http://www.abundanthealth4u.com/4_oz_Blue_Glass_Bottle_with_Natural_Trigger_Spray_p/9132nat.htm" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
5 drops Young Living Peppermint, or Spearmint Essential Oil<br />
5 drops Young Living Lavender Essential Oil<br />
3 oz of water<br />
<br />
Since this will be sprayed onto your skin, please make sure you are using a trustable source of Essential Oils. As always, I recommend and only use Young Living Essential Oils. They are the world leader in essential oils, and have been in business for 20 years.<br />
<br />
It's really that simple! So don't get caught at the ballgame without it! Or mowing, or hiking, or, or, or.......<br />
<br />

I'd love to have you on my team! For more information, contact me here, or on <a href="http://facebook.com/bretteinmanyl" target="_blank">facebook</a>.<br />

We're talking counter tops, floors, bathtubs, TOILETS, I even use it as a face wash in the shower. This is just amazing stuff! AND it's dilutes down to about $0.88 per bottle!! Without further ado...... <br />
<br />
I've gone 2 years without buying paper towels! Well. I just broke that, just so I could show y'all how easy it is to make your own cleaning wipes!<br />
<br />
Here's what you need:<br />
<br />
Thieves Household Cleaner, a container, a serrated knife, and a roll of paper towels. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHpNNkQfAOF6jiI_cFQVsfnHks9iVvZhSuvemYEdj6bhvWQYf46BSSVviI4CXJl8ZMrfZL8J_B85bBVezM8p41tZIgkp-VD_ce961MJ4mhAas4ROQhyphenhyphenSCHEJyhyI6LRXin-n4gzlhfwD2/s1600/WP_20140701_001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHpNNkQfAOF6jiI_cFQVsfnHks9iVvZhSuvemYEdj6bhvWQYf46BSSVviI4CXJl8ZMrfZL8J_B85bBVezM8p41tZIgkp-VD_ce961MJ4mhAas4ROQhyphenhyphenSCHEJyhyI6LRXin-n4gzlhfwD2/s1600/WP_20140701_001.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I didn't have an old tube of disinfecting wipes (thought I now wish I did!). You will start by cutting the roll of paper towels down to whatever size your container is. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRM-8oVhwfxCQv6tydWfBE3OMveq9qnL0Zg9y81fMqiVh-Sfr_Nr1DjD1qXBKzl28mEK24DboMOAigBRmDfuro08OMlIXnoSwSCTzOfAv0sHvXJ9htUhIN4mrlLLsS9XDraz7_gvEKV1-G/s1600/WP_20140701_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRM-8oVhwfxCQv6tydWfBE3OMveq9qnL0Zg9y81fMqiVh-Sfr_Nr1DjD1qXBKzl28mEK24DboMOAigBRmDfuro08OMlIXnoSwSCTzOfAv0sHvXJ9htUhIN4mrlLLsS9XDraz7_gvEKV1-G/s1600/WP_20140701_002.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Place the cut portion into your container. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Dilute your thieves solution according to the bottle, or your preference, and pour over the paper towels until they are damp. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbzD53CV_V-eTZQ1GahD9S1D3cW2uMqMKwqsPRnVZ0JUfHM9TJPje_KgS1f2L-LP1H785EZVpRtdVv7OulfYCYZHhCNp-c-skSiIoaYyFOXWSu1lxixB2w6C2OyuamVJymnmfdtuenzDP/s1600/WP_20140701_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbzD53CV_V-eTZQ1GahD9S1D3cW2uMqMKwqsPRnVZ0JUfHM9TJPje_KgS1f2L-LP1H785EZVpRtdVv7OulfYCYZHhCNp-c-skSiIoaYyFOXWSu1lxixB2w6C2OyuamVJymnmfdtuenzDP/s1600/WP_20140701_004.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It's now easy to peel the center away from the paper towels, and up and out. Now you can pull them from the center! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5rKmWH847lM0tOg-hhcd1HsZmL-seycWrgbeyEMWE7V1ZZEv28ptq6EzDS3HovQf8RN67k5ypI0fc18hWpzNNR8-WwC5jU3_T8nJASsHFExJKQb-i-3U56wrWvdU9sP_SeNtTTHveBxZ/s1600/WP_20140701_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5rKmWH847lM0tOg-hhcd1HsZmL-seycWrgbeyEMWE7V1ZZEv28ptq6EzDS3HovQf8RN67k5ypI0fc18hWpzNNR8-WwC5jU3_T8nJASsHFExJKQb-i-3U56wrWvdU9sP_SeNtTTHveBxZ/s1600/WP_20140701_005.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Finished! Now it's easy to wipe up the bathroom sink when you're done getting ready for the day<br />
<br />
<br />

It is an all around GREAT oil! Us oily people like to call it the Chiropractor in a bottle! This blend was formulated to balance the energies within the body, uplift spirits, promote courage, and boost self-esteem.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh790yjJ3Sqt6pC2_nSpv6azTJ2uO0nY5or24NMoYY0_SdUc4ZjDtsbCNGtpaX1Q1HRWa4s85gX9TqxO9nZ-oao7xXHli0oB0vBkQF09GGHgM4cKkDmE5MriuQANiiPaTDFbHZ8BbjHjt8L/s1600/18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh790yjJ3Sqt6pC2_nSpv6azTJ2uO0nY5or24NMoYY0_SdUc4ZjDtsbCNGtpaX1Q1HRWa4s85gX9TqxO9nZ-oao7xXHli0oB0vBkQF09GGHgM4cKkDmE5MriuQANiiPaTDFbHZ8BbjHjt8L/s320/18.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Valor is made up of:<br />
Rosewood--Empowering, and emotionally stabilizing. Also great for fungal infections, and skin conditions such as eczema.<br />
Blue Tansy--Anti-inflammatory, relaxant.<br />
Frankincense--Anti-tumoral, anti-depressant, and immune stimulating. Increases spiritual awareness, and uplifts spirits.<br />
Spruce: Great for arthritis, sciatica, and fungal infections. Also known to release emotional blocks, and bring a sense of balance and grounding. <br />
And it is in a base of coconut oil to keep all the oils mixed well, and to dilute any oils that may feel spicy on your skin. <br />
<br />
Any time you are layering a series of oils, you should apply Valor first. It will get the body into a balanced rhythm, and help your molecules be more receptive to the following oils. <br />
<br />
I suffered from a bulging disk in my back. There were many chiropractic appointments, and adjustments. Lots of long nights icing my lower back with only some pain dissipating. FINALLY I discovered Valor, and its healing capabilities! If only I had known that Valor has been shown to have a more lasting effect on Chiropractic adjustments when applied before and after the adjustment. So not only is this oil good for confidence and snoring it makes your money last longer! ;)<br />
Oh! And I no longer have to see the chiropractor every week.<br />

<br />
Most recently she ended up with a HUGE knot on the inside of her right "elbow". I tried to let it go down on its own, not knowing what it was. I finally decided to take her to the doctor.<br />
<br />
First off, she is NOT friendly to strangers....at all. So the vet visit in itself was going to prove tricky. But the appointment was made, and we would venture to see Dr. Chambers on 1/16/2014. I decided to douse myself and her in both Peace and Calming and Stress Away before work, and before entering the vets office. Generally if you are stressed, your animal will be too no matter how much oil you put on them. <br />
The visit went GREAT. Not a single woof was spoken, although she did talk to him in her cute little voice.<br />
<br />
Doc let us know that she had torn her tendon sheath--Capitis Elbow--and would need surgery, and that he had NEVER seen this issue heal itself. I was encouraged to go home and do research. As any good parent would, that's what I did. HOURS of research on this subject. I decided since she was in virtually no pain that I would try to treat the issue on my own. <br />
<br />
Saturday would be the beginning of the regimen. I gathered my trusty Young Living oils, supplements, and research, and took her to work (I know this is not practical for most, but I'm thankful it is an option for me). So day 1 and 2 we alternated the pairings EVERY hour we were awake. Yes, EVERY single one.<br />
<br />
Oils of choice:<br />
I paired together 2 drops Copaiba (inflammation), and 2 drops Lemongrass (tendon health).<br />
I also paired together 2 drops Aroma Siez (inflammation) and 2 drops Marjoram (pain and tendon health).<br />
Because of the strong aroma (and obviously her strong sense of smell) I chose to dilute these with a "squirt" of V6 oil. <br />
Supplement:<br />
I used Young Livings BLM--1 capsule in wet food 3 times per day for 3 days, and once per day after.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After the initial two days this is what her elbow had decreased to!!<br />
I was thrilled to say the least.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
So the following days (4 more since then) I have used Copaiba/Lemongrass in morning and Aroma Siez/Marjoram at night. I've also started her on Omega-gyze, Multi-greens to get the tendon sheath itself to heal!!<br />
This is what her elbow looks like today compared to 6 days ago. The swelling has gone from golf ball size to pea size. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
IF I had had to purchase the oils and BLM (I did not, because I had them on hand), I would have spent $161.25 and have leftover oils!! That's a savings of $338.75 (when compared with the surgical cost). I'm okay with that ;)<br />

What I am referring to is when someone becomes sick, is in pain, or it's a dire situation. A 42 year old man lay groaning in his bedroom. I was so focused on doing the RIGHT thing, that an ambulance showed up and took him away before I could do anything. To say I was/am disappointed in myself would be an understatement. I could have at the very least treated pain (panaway) and his panic (with peace and calming). <br />
<br />
Our current philosophy of injury and illness is so wrong! We have been taught our whole lives if you take the wrong medicine you could create other side effects which will also have to be treated with another drug (now or later down the road). This is not the case when it comes to health and wellness! If we take what we know about Essential Oils instead of what we don't know, we could heal the world.<br />
<br />
Now, when it comes to Essential Oils, there is no right or wrong way to
do things. Your oils are in a bottle, and they look nice sitting on
your bedside table, yes. But do they help you there? NO! So rather than
putting anything, or everything I had on this man who was in severe
pain, I did nothing. <br />
<br />
Next time you are in an emergency, take out your oils! If you don't know what to do, put them all on....YES! All of them! You can NOT hurt yourself with earth's medication. Treat yourself with the knowledge you have, and find out specifics AFTER you've begun treatment (by looking in your eodr, asking an upline/senior distributor, or using http://www.oil-testimonials.com/1347443)<br />
<br />
As always, please contact me if you have any questions about anything I've mentioned. <br />
<br />
<br />
It turned out the issue is Kidney stones, and I plan to suggest lemon oil to help pass them, and of course panaway for pain. <br />

<br />
This morning I used:<br />
<i>Peace and Calming</i> on my Adrenal <i>VitaFlex</i> points on my feet, as well as over my adrenals. <br />
<i>Thieves</i> on the bottoms of my feet and spine because I'm feeling <strike>cough-y</strike> congested.<br />
<i>Ylang Ylang</i> behind my ears for positive thinking.<br />
<i>Progessence Plus</i> on my carotids and forearms (I use two drops on each side of my neck and four on each forearm)<br />
<i>Acceptance</i> over my heart and on my wrists--this has been my favorite oil for almost a month now (more below)<br />
And of course four drops of <i>Slique Essence</i> in my water before breakfast!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>P.M. </u></b><br />
<br />
I drank 2 glasses of <i>Slique Essence</i> water today. <br />
<br />
I'm using <i>Thieves</i> on the feet--feeling icky from eating out for supper. <br />
Using <i>peace and calming</i> on my adrenals and chest--for a great nights sleep!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Acceptance</u></i></b><br />
<br />
Back in the spring I was scanned on my upline's <i>Zyto Scanner</i> and I scanned for the oil blend <i>Acceptance</i>. This was pretty much the scan that made me a believer in the <strike>scammer</strike> scanner. I was struggling with getting along with people in my everyday life. So I decided to wait, because seriously, how can that thing be right anyway? All you do is put your hand on it and it reads the electric pulses that run through your body. About a month later the work situation was getting worse. I didn't want to be around anyone, and everyone was driving me crazy! So I ordered it. The day I received it I slathered some on my chest and wrists, and immediately felt calmer!! Crazy I know. But it works :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13097465440796072386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378205578059623867.post-32106820619889404592013-09-01T18:44:00.003-07:002014-03-29T08:21:48.808-07:00Acne and Weight Loss ResultsSOOOOOOOO.....I've been using the <i>Thieves Household Cleaner</i> as face wash, yes face wash, and <i>Thieves toothpaste</i> for acne spot treatment for a whole week now. I must say, I'm extremely pleased with the results!! I've tried harsh chemical face washes, as well as Arbonne, and Dove soap (recommended by a dermatologist). NONE of these other cleansers have had this kind of result! Plus I like the tingling feeling of the toothpaste, as well as knowing I'm not putting any chemicals on my body!<br />
<br />
Ok....enough talk, here's the actual results!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Excuse the super weird faces I'm making haha. Also, these were taken with a camera phone, and that's why there's a difference in color--there was no editing done to these photos. Obviously the top right and left photos are the before. I'm afraid I'm going to have to do some scarring treatment next. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now the other promised results!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We all know there are trouble weight areas on women's bodies. Well I've been taking three drops of <i>Slique Essence</i> in my water three-ish (sometimes two) times per day. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The results?? 11 lbs in three weeks! I HAVE been eating healthier, although not hungry or unsatisfied. I have NOT been exercising other than the squats challenge, and one day of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 (I decided I could wait longer than 30 days ;)). It seems the <i>Slique</i> melts fat away from those more trouble areas--inner thighs, lower belly, and love handles. I'm very pleased with the way this product works, and I also love the flavor in my water! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As far as my order I got this week I have to say I just LOVE <i>Young Living</i> as a company!! I got my <i>Essential Rewards</i> order (which earned me 20 reward points btw!). In the order was a new <i>home diffuser</i>, <i>Citrus Fresh</i>,<i> Lavender</i>,<i> Copaiba</i> and a new bottle of <i>Slique Essence</i>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <i>Citrus Fresh</i> and <i>Lavender</i> came with the<i> home diffuser</i>, which I was not expecting! I bought <i>Copaiba</i> for both me and Sunnie! I'll be putting it on her hips in hopes to help with the dysplasia, and she doesn't mind the smell of this one either. I can't wait to diffuse the <i>Citrus Fresh</i> tomorrow morning for a fresh start before work!</div>

Well I got my living room and kitchen cleaned last night. I'll focus on the bigger tasks today :) My house is smelling like lovely <i>Thieves </i>cleaner. <br />
I read somewhere (not sure of source) that <i>Thieves</i> could be used for removing permanent marker. I remembered that I have this purple spot on a white drawer from when I did Tie Dye with Holly. I tried removing it before with Soap, water, and vinegar, and i even used a Magic eraser with no luck. So I decided to try out the <i>thieves HHcleaner </i>on this permanent dye! Here are the results: <br />

<br />
I was rather pleased with the results. You can still see the spot a little bit, but probably wouldn't notice if you didn't know ;)<br />
<br />
I ALWAYS KEEP <i>THIEVES</i> AND <i>PURIFICATION</i> IN MY KITCHEN! <i>Purification</i> is an excellent blend to eliminate those nasty kitchen trash can odors, as well as keep the bugs away.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have also been reading that people are using the household cleaner to wash their face at night. As well as using the Thieves toothpaste for acne spot treatment. I'm going to start trying that tonight!<br />

Does anyone else let it get all piled up like that?<br />
I have a shed door to fix, boxes to move, and LOTS of cleaning. <br />
I'm thinking <i>Valor</i> and my <i>Thieves Household cleaner</i> will be my best friend tomorrow.<br />
I already use <i>Valor</i> everyday for my back (healing inflamed disk), but I'm going to need the extra strength it provides for tomorrow's tasks. <br />
I JUST got my <i>Thieves HHC</i> on Thursday with my first FREE <i>essential rewards</i> order (i'm pretty excited about this)! I can't wait to use it on EVERYTHING, especially my stinky bunny cage :/<br />
<br />
I'm also on Day 6 and 7 of a Squat Challenge I found on Pinterest. Yeah, I love me some squats! Feel free to jump in on day 1 or 6 or 7 ;)<br />

I'll also be spending some time on writing my own script for an EO Basics class I'm giving on Tuesday. <br />
<br />
SEE!! Busy!!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping I get to cook at least one good meal tomorrow also, but who knows ;)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13097465440796072386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378205578059623867.post-67120802928652167092013-08-24T10:39:00.003-07:002013-08-24T10:39:52.524-07:00The PilotHave you ever Netflix binged your favorite tv show?? Im talking to the point where the whole thing is over and you're thinking "this can't be happening!" Then you decide you can't remember how it ALL started, so you go back to the very first episode-the pilot- and you get to remember how far your favorite characters have come.<br />
<br />
Well, this is THAT blog post! My beginning, and I'll also tell a bit about my future plans as well.<br />
<br />
<b><u>The Basics</u></b> (without sounding too much like a match.com profile-ha)<br />
I'm currently 24 years of age.<br />
My "little" brother and I have a house together in Lawton, OK.<br />
My family and I work together 5 days a week. We're a tight knit group of people who like to cut up and have fun.<br />
I have a few friends that I love as much as I love my family.<br />
I love to travel.<br />
I'm a very crafty person.<br />
I have 2 dogs and 2 rabbits living in my house!!<br />
I love being frugal.<br />
I'd love to say I live green, but not quite sure I'm there.<br />
I am a very active person.<br />
<br />
This is only the 2nd blog I've ever had, the first was about my money-saving adventures in upstate NY.<br />
<br />
I've always been a rather upbeat, intense and happy person.<br />
<br />
I started running about a year ago and decided that I actually enjoy it--most days. I've ran 2 5k/obstacle courses.<br />
<br />
About 3 years ago I discovered (through my mom) Young Living essential oils. I love them, and they've changed the way I live my life!<br />
<br />
<b><u>THE PLAN</u></b><br />
<br />
This blog is intended to record all the things I'm doing to keep myself happy, healthy, and fit. I will be posting essential oils that I use, new exercise challenges I'm trying, as well as recipes, etc.<br />
I would love to get some interaction on this page, so feel free to comment with any thoughts, suggestions or questions.<br />
<br />
