Blood Sugar Wars

R.C. Essential Oil Blend
I tried to find out what R.C. stands for in R.C. essential oil blend. Couldn’t find anything. Maybe it stands for Really Cool, which it is.  R.C. blend is my go-to oil for any normal, healthy breathing that I want to do as a part of my wellness lifestyle.
Release Blend
We carry negative energies on our liver. Kinda makes sense, since the liver is the place that cleans out all the “junk†from our bodies. Release essential oil blend is good for exactly that – releasing – anger and frustration from the liver to support normal emotional well being.  Release blend is one of the most powerful oils supporting emotional well being. I would be remiss if I didn’t pass on to you what I learned…
Di-Gize Blend
Nothing can trash a great outing with kids like tummy complaints. Di-Gize essential oil blend is the standard I reach for, whether it’s kids, myself, or a friend. My kids knew which oil this one was when they were little (right up there with Peace & Calming, another ninja mom lifesaver.) Di-Gize blend is my starting point, as in “put this on while I figure out if there’s anything else I wanna use.† It’s been…
Angelica Essential Oil
Angelica essential oil (Angelica archangelica) has soothing qualities that are relaxing. In Germany, angelica was historically referred to as the “oil of angels,†in part because of its ability to calm, restore happy memories, and bring peaceful sleep. Useful for normal, healthy digestive and respiratory support. Angelica is rejuvenating and energizing for ninja moms, particularly following having a normal, healthy childbirth. Emotionally, angelica essential oil can have a grounding effect for persons prone to being…
Abundance Essential Oil Blend
Abundance Blend is a good-stuff magnet. Our thoughts and intentions enhanced by fragrance create a positive environment called the “law of attraction†which basically means you are open to good stuff and good stuff is attracted to you. The shift in our hearts and minds toward a sense of abundance and gratitude rather than scarcity is a powerful working force in our lives. Most people tend to live from a sense of never having enough,…
Be Nice To Your Liver
Your liver is a very important organ in your body. According to WebMd.com “The liver’s main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. As it does so, the liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines. The liver also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions.” Young Living Essential Oils…

Melrose Essential Oil Blend
Melrose essential oil blend is my go-to solution for maintaining a wellness lifestyle. This blend contains four essential oils with some heavy duty properties that support normal, healthy body functioning. Melrose is my knee-jerk answer when it comes to mastering a wellness lifestyle.

Clarity Essential Oil Blend
Be Alert. The world needs more Lerts. The world definitely needs more alert moms, and alert teenagers would be a huge blessing to society at large.

As beautiful as this is, it is also crucial that all drivers are alert and awake at…
Frankincense Essential Oil
For spiritual awareness, prayer, and meditation, Frankincense essential oil stands alone in its power. This makes sense to me, as people from different religions have highly valued and respected it for thousands of years. Not only is it amazing in spiritual uplifting and strengthening, it’s also used by quite a few ninja moms for the appearance of incredibly soft, smooth, skin. Frankincense essential oil is my go-to oil that I use as a layer along…
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?!”),…
Valor Essential Oil Blend
I noticed another Young Living enthusiast/ninja like myself gushing that they wanted to “smear Valor all over myself.” This is not particular to Valor Blend at all, I find that often the concept of smearing [insert YL oil here] comes bursting out of someone who has experienced the amazing-ness of these oils. It is our deep desire for more of that which is good, excellent, exquisite and extraordinary. I could write books on the technical…
Yummy snack on the go
“I discovered a delicious lunch or snack: I add one scoop of Balance Complete™ to ½ cup Greek-style yogurt, a teaspoon of agave, and a sliced banana. This fills me up and keeps me going for quite a few hours. It is a great way to keep hunger at bay and get some calcium and fiber in my diet. The taste is yummy, too.†Luana Navarro
PanAway Essential Oil Blend
Moms with teenagers are surely aware of the extreme need to make the overabundance of pans go away. Some might say that Young Living came through once again for desperate housewives suffering from too much cookware, but they would be wrong. Apparently, anything that supports our bodies in response to the word “ouch†is considered medicinal and regulated by the FDA. I must be under that jurisdiction, as when any “body†in my family cries…
