First Aid Skills

Liz James · October 7, 2020 ·

The application of knowledge is power… and it can save you a ton of money and time too.
Had a little boo boo this weekend that ranked on the “stitchable” list.
Anyone could do what I did… assess the situation and then either apply self care, or head to the professionals.
In this case, self care was the definite answer because I had the tools available and no body parts were dangling 😂 #beentheredonethat
Girl scouts used to teach good first aid skills… do they still do that? This is stuff every person should know…. because life happens.
Here is my M.O. in such events:
1. Assess the situation
2. Clean up the wound #wehavetheantibacterialsoapforthat
3. Stop the bleeding #wehaveoilsforthat
4. Apply the nifty bandage #easytobuyandkeeponhand
5. Take extra immune supportive measure (internally and externally for the next 10 days)
I trust my tools I have on hand…. that’s half the battle. Poor quality tools will not be your friend. (The other half is not being squeamish about a little blood!)
Do you have what you need to manage life’s little boo boo’s?
Our YL tribe teaches each other skills (like these) that used to be handed down generation to generation. We are the keepers of our selves, and it is a blessing to have what you need on hand and know how to use it!
If 2020 has shown us nothing else, it’s that we need to be prepared to care for our selves and our family (and pets!) as much as possible.
Come be a part of my tribe! We share info freely at the table!

Stain Remedy

Liz James · October 6, 2020 ·

Once again, I am grateful for Thieves Household Cleaner. I had a little accident this weekend and dried blood used to be one of those hard to treat stains on laundry day. #notanymore
Cynda Western Felini had given me this t-shirt, and it’s one of my faves…. so I said a little prayer before dousing it with THHC, letting it sit for about 5 min, and then throwing it in the wash!

Critter Crate Care

Liz James · September 30, 2020 ·

Dog crates are used for many things on a farm….. you just never know what kind of critter you’ll have to be either caretaking or transporting. 🐰🐔🐍🐢🐱🐀#truth
Birds are fairly sensitive to toxins, and I’ve used this recipe with great success both in the coop and when cleaning transport crates.
Note: it also works well for kitty litter boxes AND, once you have the spray mixed up (I personally just use 8 oz of water + the other ingredients), you can use it as a misting spray over your kitty litter if it is a little stinky on occasion. #poopourri

Little Oilers

Liz James · September 30, 2020 ·

Start ’em off right my friends! I absolutely love that Young Living now has a starter kit just for kiddos!
Do you know anyone who needs help with their kid’s sleeping, 😴emotions, focus, owies and all the things?

* And who can say no to Feather the owl diffuser? #cutest

Have you gotten the all new Little Oilers Collection Kit? Our littles NEED all the help they can get to be healthy and keep a low toxin load. (This is one way to eliminate many common toxins kiddos are often exposed to!). The prediluted bottle with the rollers make it safe to apply anytime!

Which oil will be your favorite ?
This kit will be a game changer in so many homes…. it could be in yours too😘.
xoxo~ liz

Get the good stuff for your kiddos (and for yourself too!)

Thieves for the Season

Liz James · September 23, 2020 ·

I feel with near certainty that this coming cold and flu season will be a tumultuous one as a side effect from the mask wearing (NOT because of the ‘rona of 2020).
If you haven’t already, it’s time to assess what you have on hand and stock up on what you need so that you don’t have to run out in an emergency and buy something that further clogs up your body’s perfectly designed systems.

#wehavethetoolsavailabletous
Are you a DIY’er? If so, this post is for you! If you aren’t a DIY’er, you are still in luck…. as YL has a Thieves chest rub! (item # 23801)

Don’t wait til it’s too late. Young Living has stellar immune support products, and some of them often go out of stock when the going gets tough for the masses in the fall and winter. My advice?….. get what you need, (just as you would have bandaids on hand) and then buy a little extra.

Why are masks going to make the situation worse?
> they increase stress which suppresses the immune system.
> they decrease your oxygen intake and increase your recycled CO2 intake (also suppressing your immune system).
> there is an enormous amount of bacteria hanging out on the interior of that mask that is being worn daily.

Take a breather whenever you can. Change your masks out several times daily if you must wear a mask. Remember that if masks won’t keep smoke particles out (as the CDC has stated publically), they certainly won’t keep something smaller than smoke out either…… no amount of believing or wishing will alter that fact.
