My schedule is full with several sports schedules, school activities, my business, etc…. When I was younger (did I really just use that phrase) I would excel when I had a lot on my plate. Now, I just get overwhelmed and forgetful. I am trying to keep a good calendar and not let myself get to busy and overwhelmed, but it may be crazy until school is over. So, I am going to need some extra help. I looked up Memory in my wonderful Reference Book and found some great suggestions!
In North Texas we usually don’t get much snow. We usually get ice which is no fun! Today we got tons of good, powder snow.

We decide to try and make Snow Ice Cream. We set a large bowl out on the patio table and let snow accumulate. After the bowl was full, we brought it in. We made several different flavors.

Warning: Men go ahead and scroll down to the next post.
Women, listen up!
My cycle was insane for YEARS!!!!!! It was long and very heavy. I would have cramps so bad that I would spend the first 2 days in bed with what used to be my best friend the heating pad. I haven’t needed a heating pad since I met this girl. She seriously has changed my life.

**These are my individual results and my testimonies. Everyone is different and may have different results depending on several different factors such as diet, exercise, health, etc… There is No Magic Pill or formula that will work for everyone. I think it is very important to know your body. Do research on any product you consider using.
I am only sharing because when I wanted to start using these products I wanted to read personal testimonies, so hopefully this will be helpful information for someone, if not it is good accountability for me to put it out on the internet so I will strive to meet my goals.
I have been making several changes over the last 2 years for the health of my family and decided that on January 1st it was time to work really hard at shedding my extra weight. Due to more natural changes that I have been slowly making this decision was much easier, but still a challenge.
I decided that I was going to cut out Sugar and Gluten as much as possible. I have been eating lean meats, fruits and vegetables, drinking tons of water with Lemon oil or Slique oil.
Why I chose Young Living to help me attain my weight management goals…
Today’s lifestyles don’t always create optimal conditions for physical wellness or weight management. Poor diet, lack of exercise and environmental toxins can leave us unbalanced and low on energy. Every product that Young Living creates supports your whole body. They provide targeted solutions to restore balance. Not only are these products for weight management but so much more. Even if you don’t need to loose weight these products are still great for your health. If you do want to loose weight, you will not be jeopardizing your health while doing it. I trust Young Living! I have done my research and they have nothing to hide.
What a typical day looks like for me…
Breakfast: NingXia Red (1 oz.), water with lemon, Super C, Super B, Master Formula Hers and a healthy breakfast or a Balance Complete meal replacement.
Lunch: Water, healthy lunch or Balance Complete meal replacement (if I didn’t have it for breakfast), Essentialzymes-4
Snack: nuts, noosa yogurt or a slique bar
45 minutes before dinner I take 1 pack of Slique Slim Caps
Dinner: Water, Healthy dinner (meat, fruits and veggies), Essentialzymes-4
If I get a little hungry before bed I drink Slique Tea or more NingXia Red (1 oz.)
Like I said this is not a formula. Each day looks different. I don’t think I would be successful on a program that looked the same each day. I like variety.
I only weigh on Sundays. If you weigh everyday you will see the up and down which might help you but I decided I just wanted to see the results after each week.
Results as of 1/18/15…
I feel great! I have more energy. I am more productive. I have lost 9 lbs!!
I will post more along the journey. I would love to hear from you if you have ever tried any of the Slique products! I would also love to hear any tips that work for you.
If you want to order, go to beta.youngliving.com and my # is 1483642. I would love to answer any questions you have.
It is time to start thinking about what to get your special someone for Valentines Day! Here ya go…you’re welcome!!
If you have been holding out for any reason on trying Young Living Essential Oils. Now is the time!!! Never before has such a great value been offered. Young Living for a very Limited Time is offering an even greater value in the Premium Starter Kit by replacing Purification with DiGize and replacing Frankincense with Sacred Frankincense for the same great price.
And because I am trying to reach a goal it works out to your advantage, because I am offering freebies for anyone who enrolls for a Premium Starter Kit with me this month.
To top it off I am doing another drawing depending on how much you spend. So just by buying the Premium Starter Kit you will be entered once into a drawing for a $25 gift card and you will be entered once into a drawing for 1 bottle of Ningxia Red, 1 box of Ningxia Nitro or 14 packets of Ningxia Red.
If you were to purchase a few additional items along with your PSK (premium starter kit) to make it 200PV you will be entered 3 times into the drawings listed above and Young Living will send you Free stuff as well.
Wow!!!! This seems to good to be true, but I assure you it is true.
So, to recap if you buy the PSK you will receive 12 oils, a diffuser, a roller ball attachment, oil samples, samples of our amazing Antioxidant drink Ningxia Red, a reference book, capsules and you will be entered in Two drawings.
If you add a couple items to your order and spend 200 PV you will receive everything mentioned above + be entered in both drawings but you will earn more entries into the Ningxia Red drawing and Young Living will send you Raven 5ml EO and more Essential Oil Samples.
Raven is one of my go to oils in the Winter. It is one of the oils that kept my son from getting bronchitis this past year. The Oil Samples are great to keep in your purse, to take on trips or to pass out to friends.
If you are overwhelmed, you are not alone. Send me an email and I will take care of you peacejoyandoil@gmail.com.

I went to Starbucks yesterday to sit and fill out some paperwork before picking my kids up from school. There was only 1 table available in the whole place so I take my seat and start filling out the papers. (squirrel) I over hear the 2 men sitting next to me talk about how they are pilots and that one has Vertigo (Cedarwood) and the other struggles with allergies (LLPC) and getting stuffy. They both talk about how they are not supposed to fly when they aren’t feeling well or when they are on medicine. There was a little wall between us or I would have told them all about Young Living Essential Oils. (I probably wouldn’t have, but like to think I would have)
It did inspire me to make this…
If you are a Pilot or know a Pilot, please share. Young Living offers a natural alternative! No more missing flights!!
Get started here.
Everyday is National Dog Day in our home! We have the most loved, spoiled rotten, 90lb lap dog. He really is the best dog though. He lets our children climb all over him.
I love him so much I even share my Young Living Essential Oils with him. That’s right even our dog is Oily!
When I use oils he will follow me with his nose in my hand. He loves his oils.
When Champ had a wound under his eye I applied Frankinsence and Lavender and then applied a warm compress.
When it is storming outside I apply Peace & Calming right behind his ears and lays down and goes to sleep.
When he has gas I rub peppermint or DiGize on his stomach. He is a Boxer, this is often!
I spray his bed down with a Purification spray that you can find here. I also spray this on him when we he is outside longer than just going to the bathroom.
So your Premium Starter Kit is great for your WHOLE Family, even the fur-babies!

Finding a skin care product that I love is not an easy task. I have very sensitive skin and have tried so many things that claim to be natural or good for sensitive skin. They all burn or turn my face very red, make my eye hurt, breakout in a rash…….
When I joined Young Living a year ago I saw the ART skin care line and wondered, but I really wanted to hear more testimonies about it before trying it. So, I listened to anyone that brought it up and asked lots of questions. I never came across anyone that said anything negative about it.
I received it in July and was so anxious to get started. I took a before picture. The awesome thing is that it hasn’t even been a month yet and I am already seeing results. So I had to share. These pictures were taken in the exact same spot and have not been edited.
I wanted to share my love of theses products and hosted a class for a few friends to come try them.
