Teenager Attitudes Reversed!
Yup, you saw that right…attitudes reversed, mom of teenagers experiences relief…. film at 11:00 pm. A Young Living Distributor with 3 teenage boys, all with special challenges, Sylvia was wayyyy past due for some respite from her daily circus of teenage attitude along with the other all-too-familiar traits of Planet Teenage Boy (PTB) citizens. The air was tense, the parents were tense, the teenagers were busy eye-rolling, nit picking at each other, not listening (“Huh?!”),…
Snap Out Of It Recipe
You may have noticed my Oil A Week isn’t quite posted this week. Bummer week, still wishing I could put Abundance Blend on my fig tree out back and create a money tree, cuz we got a dead car, fried electrical wiring in the kitchen, and RIP to my digital camera as well. So I’ve been strictly following this Snap Out Of It protocol which I invented: 1. Smear Clarity oil all over my face…
Get tar off your car
“I got strings of tar splattered on the side of my car from road work. A commercial, chemical bug-and-tar remover couldn’t touch it. But lemon essential oil took it all off with a little bit of elbow grease!†Kenneth Gardner
Tip- Teenagers Concentrating
Product Tip “My teenage son has trouble concentrating, but he notices that when he takes Omega Blue™ each day, he feels more focused, calmed, and less stressed. I also take Omega Blue when I feel like I need increased focus.†Kristina Jones
Essential oils bugs don’t like
Hospitality is good and all, but I draw the line and hosting insects. Ewww. Here is a list of some oils to discourage the nasty little things. Ants: Don’t like Peppermint or Spearmint. I can personally testify to the Peppermint thing, which was the only way I was able to win the war on hordes of ants marching into my home one summer. I drew a line (literally) on the metal threshold of my sliding…
Common Sense: Get some
My favorite essential oil blend of the moment is Common Sense. I’ve got teenagers, and this stuff does a world of good towards protecting the Earth from their lack of, ahem…. discernment, shall we say. Kids too, dare I say sometimes spouses, and a significant other or two? Teenagers with significant others who seem to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic? Get a diffuser, now. Run it all the time in the common…
Sweet smelling carpet
Tip—Fresh Carpet “I used an old plastic sippy cup with a small hole in the lid to make a carpet freshener. I mix baking soda and a few drops of an essential oil, usually Lavender because it’s my favorite, then I sprinkle it around the carpet and let it sit for a minute or two and then vacuum it right up. My carpet is fresh, the room smells great, and the best part about it…
Carpet nightmares: Chewing gum edition
Tip—Stuck Gum “I found a chunk of gum stuck to our hall shag carpet. It had been there for several months, dried but thoroughly stuck to the fibers. I dabbed Thieves® Household Cleaner on a cotton ball, then rubbed it on the gum and let it sit for a minute. The gum literally just lifted off the carpet. You can rub your fingers across the treated spot. There is no way to tell there ever…
Free the bath drain
Tip—Bath Drain “Our bath drainage unit would not stay in the open drain position and couldn’t be replaced. We used a number or chemical and mechanical options with no result. Finally I dropped a few drops of lemon essential oil on the problem area, waited a few moments, and came back. Result: The bath now drains freely once again!†—Suz McGill
