A few of my favorite things...

 Well, friends? Did we ever think we'd be where we are right now? 

I for one, did not. But I did have some gut feelings in March that things would never be the same again.

I would love to say that I know how this is all going to turn out but obviously, there is only ONE that does. God is the author of time and I trust Him. In the meantime, I am doing my darndest to remain faithful and healthy and...sane! LOL! 

EVERYTHING is different! Kids are home, my business looks foreign, everyone is masked and my church community has changed dramatically. It's natural for our minds and bodies to keep the score of the ever changing stressors. The ups and downs. The unknowns. I want to share with you a few KEY things that are making a big difference in my life and my home.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Lifelong Vitality Pack

Guys- If you're not taking this vitamin trio from doTERRA you're missing a huge opportunity to nourish your brain and organs and blood and skin and nervous system in very dramatic and effective ways. This is THE best thing you can do to promote a positive mood, mental sharpness, energy and sleep while decreasing inflammation, ushering out toxic debris and reversing the effects of stress. There's a 30 money back guarantee so if you are not taking it, DO IT. Please. It makes all the difference!

2. Copaiba Softgels

My youngest has been struggling with emotional outbursts and we're even seeing some physical signs of stress, ticks and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. I mean, can you blame the kid? His whole life is different! So we've been giving him Copaiba softgels each morning. Just one (he's 10 and about 90 lbs). Ic can't tell you the difference it's making. I can just SEE how his body is a little more calm and his mind less anxious. I also take one with my Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV for short) and so does my husband. Copaiba is amazing for neurological support and emotional support as well as immune function, pain relief and many other benefits. Please look into it if this sounds like something that could benefit you or someone you love!

3. Adaptiv System

By system I mean all the parts. The capsule, the 15ml blend for diffusing and the TOUCH roller. You can get them in a little kit at a slight discount on your LRP or standard order. To help my little guy relax at night, we give him an Adaptiv capsule about an hour before bed. It has essential oils and clinically studied botanicals to help your mind and body adapt to stressful situations. I take them as needed (on especially stressful days) and I love that I have these things handy when I could be reaching for an unhealthy coping mechanism such as alcohol which used to be my "go-to". Been sober for over 3 years now and doTERRA is helping me stay that way! We're also diffusing Adaptiv at night in everyone's room and using the roller frequently but especially while doing school work or handling change or stressful situations.

4. Elevation - Joyful Blend

I've gone through an entire 15ml just this last month! I ADORE This blend. It was the first blend I ever tried from doTERRA over 5 years ago and it just does something to my heart. I lights me up and takes me somewhere comfortable and cozy for a moment. I LOVE having this pumping in my diffuser throughout the day. I believe you will love it, too. It is a blend of Lavandin, Lavender, Melissa, Ylang Ylang, and Osmanthus with Tangerine, Amyris, Clary Sage, Hawaiian Sandalwood, Ho Wood, and Lemon Myrtle. 

5. Terrazyme 

If you've been around a while, you'll know that this is PROBABLY my absolute favorite product. It's digestive enzymes that do a lot more for you than support digestion! You can add a bottle onto your LLV kit for only $20. They're normally almost $40. Enzymes are required for EVERY biological function in your body. These act as scavengers to help usher out debris such as dead blood cell, pollens, toxins and the like so that your body can run more smoothly, Think having something settle at the bottom of the gas tank. Once things get mixed up and filtered out, things just run better. Enzymes also help your body tissues regenerate more effectively and quickly. So if you have pain, or are recovering from trauma or surgery, give your body a boost by using these enzymes. I have tried others and they just don't cut it. These are MAGICAL. I take 3 on an empty stomach in the morning (with water) one with each meal and 3 again at night before bed with a full glass of water. They are very helpful for supporting a healthy metabolism ;) 

Of course I use all sorts of doTERRA products in my home including the cleansers, all of our personal care items like deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, skincare, lotions and handsoap. I am thankful for this company and their commitment to provide amazing products. Did you know that doTERRA means "Gift of the Earth"? They really are gifts. Please feel free to email me if you have specific needs or questions. We're all in this together <3
