KEEPING COOL!

Hello everyone! Are you LOVING your Summer yet!!  Nothing better than these days with endless daylight!  The holiday week is here too - woohoo! Nothing like a HOT Fourth of July!!  I'm not complaining tho - give me hot over cold any day of the week!  

We are in for 90+ degree days again, and if you need to keep moving instead of hiding out in the A/C, you're gonna love today's tip!  KEEP COOOOOOOOOL  WITH PEPPERMINT!!   Yep!  Good old Peppermint is great for that too.  Just a little dab on the back of your neck and you'll quickly start to feel the cool!!  Another great way to cool off is with a super easy DIY Peppermint Spray!     


Directions:

Fill a 4 ounce spray bottle with water (or fill a larger one with 4 ounces of water)
Add 15 drops of Young Living Peppermint (to find, on the blog page, click Order and type in "Peppermint")
1 drop of dish soap

That's it!  Shake it up, spray as needed!!

Keep this bottle of coolness around while you work in the yard, exercise, even sitting at the picnics the next few days, and share the love!

KEEPING THE PUPS CALM!

Anyone gotta pooch like mine that HATES the entire month of July???  This is my pup Riley.  She's a 9 year old Border Collie Lab mix, and she hates the Fourth of July!  


I have learned a few things with oils to calm her down!! Oils of choice:  Lavender, Stress Away, T-Away, Peace and Calming.  Here is the best way to oil up the frightened pooch! Try them well before Fireworks start!

1.  Use ONLY a brand that is rated safe for Dogs.  If you don't know, ask the manufacturer!Info Here!
2.  Pick out your oil of choice, remove the cap, let the pup smell the cap and give it lots of praise!
3.  If they prefer one over another, use the preferred one, staring with just one oil at a time.  Take a drop and place it in YOUR hands.  
4. Rub the one drop down their spine and on their ears - again giving praise and treats!
5.  Dogs are SUPER sensitive to oils, so stick with one kinds of oil applied at a time for this.  When the fireworks begin, Do another drop.  If they need more help, do one more if they are a larger breed.  Small dogs should stick with one drop.
6.  Diffuse an oil like Peace and Calming.  If you have several diffusers, use them all!
7.  Another option is a drop on the inside of their collar or a diffuser charm worn on their collar.

Hello!


My name is Gayle Reinsma, and my passion in life is to help people navigate through the sometimes overwhelming choices in wellness through nature.  As a health freedom advocate, you will be able to rely on me to help you feel confidence in speaking up for yourself through informed choices, networking, and emotional support.  It's my JOB to teach you, and I love what I do!

11 years ago, when I first started using essential oils, I had no idea what I was doing, and I REALLY had no idea how my life was about to change.  I just wanted to see what this stuff was.  When my starter kit arrived, I will say that it was love at first "sniff!" My body knew immediately that these were powerful, impactful bottles of goodness. But the funny part was it took my dog to show me just how much that was so.

That night, I placed Lavender and a blend called Peace and Calming in my beautiful brand new diffuser, and set it on my husband's night stand in order to help him sleep.  It began to storm, and I knew I needed to find and comfort my dog (do you have a fraidy-cat dog when it storms? - then you get it!).  When I located her, I was startled to find her pressed up against the night stand to get as close as she could to the diffuser! I knew right away that I had something very special in my home!  The dog was not her spastic stormy self - she was calm.  Let's just say that after several repeated events like this, she made my entire family believers in the power of essential oils!  Since that time, we have countless other stories like this personally as a family - on OUR health.  

Are you ready to make a life changing step in your health?  I promise you, if you let us help me help you learn how to use these pure plant extracts, your life will change as well.   These oils are special my friend!  There are none others like ours due to our seed to seal guarantee! We are the ONLY essential oil company that will guarantee this to you.  We are the only one who grows them ourselves.  There are hundreds of different "essential oil" on the market today, and many have almost no plant extract in them.  Many are also grown on fields with synthetic chemicals and are cut and extended with other products in order to make them inexpensive. I would never trust those on my or my families skin, would you?   Seed to Seal Guarantee
