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.

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 […]

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 […]

Trauma Life Blend
I carry Trauma Life Blend around in my purse every day. No, I’m not a hysterical person, and I don’t live in a war zone or in eminent danger of any particular kind. Be careful how you respond to the word “trauma“. The word originally implied “unpleasant experience which causes stress.” (dictionary.com) Having teenagers constitutes […]

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 […]

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 […]

Peace & Calming
I’m willing to take a stand when it comes to the notion of Peace & Calming® as a major part of my ninja mom arsenal to create an environment of harmony, agreement, calm, serenity, composure, cessation, order, pacification, reconciliation, truce, unity, congeniality, contentment, hush, lull, quiet, relaxation, repose, rest, stillness, and tranquility (I do so […]

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 […]

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

Helichrysum Essential Oil
Even when other oils are indicated topically, I make sure I have at least one layer of helichrysum on it. Some European scientist guys studied it for supporting normal circulation and skin. I love it on my skin. Helichrysum supports normal healthy liver function, which makes sense as it is a detoxifier. The liver does […]

Animals & Essential Oils
If you have any animal friends or pets (babies), here is some tips from Gary about using them with various animals. I am NOT an animal doctor, veterinarian, or Dr. Doolittle! My mom-ness gives me no particular authority about any of this stuff, but I know Gary has used the oils extensively with animals and […]

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender slices, it dices! A boat load of uses in one little bottle of oil. After being in the sun too long, even teenagers find it useful. When mom’s have “had it” and need a major break, we diffuse it or put some in the bath, and restore our sanity. Everybody loves it so much, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
