Serendipity

· ·

​Serendipity is one of my most favorite things!💖…..like a little gift from God. And it’s highly underrated!
About 5 days ago, I had a  raging case of poison ivy. If you’ve ever had the poison ivy itch before, you know how bad it can be (especially when you are trying to sleep! 😭) I had put a bottle of Peppermint by my bed to use when the itching would wake me up at night (along with the rest of my nighttime oil stash). 


So, in the middle of the night, I grabbed what I thought was peppermint, and rolled it all over my arm. It took me a sleepy minute to realize I had accidentally grabbed Thieves (which I use on the bottom of my feet at night for immune support)…. a little spicy, but in a good way.


Here’s the shocker tho…… it worked! 😱…. and it stopped the itching and dried up my poison ivy quicker than anything else I’ve ever tried.🙌… and only using it a couple times a day. I will definitely be adding this to my farmgirl arsenal👩‍🌾 against this common skin irritant.


What’s something that you figured out by accident (serendipity) that rocks your world now?

Toxin-free Spa Day

· ·

We run a pretty tight ship (as my Navy dad used to say) around here at the farm. We have many animals🐮🐴🐕🐈🐔 and many chores each day,  every day, and letting things slack or slide can lead to chaos, crazy,  and frankly just good ol’ “stank “! 💩 Lots of animals leads to lots of manure and sweat don’tcha know👩‍🌾👨‍🌾!
We aren’t stinky heathens out here in the country😉, we like a clean smelling house that is toxin free. Years ago, i used to be one of those “plug in ” gals with a fake fragrance smell throughout our whole house.  That was before I knew better ….. back when I assumed Big Pharma was here devoted to our best interests  too.

Thank goodness my eyes were opened 18 years ago…and i learned the truth about both. Those household plug ins will do a number on your endocrine system…. guaranteed. The good news is that your house can smell even better than that fake chemical smell when you bring out the diffuser 😍. 


What do you want your home to smell like? I love the smell of a spa…. I rarely have the time to have a spa day, and I LOOOOVE the spa aroma (not to mention a good massage!). Take a look at these diffuser blends…. I’ll be giving them a try myself!

How Essential Oils Are Made

· ·

Have you been to a Young Living farm? If so, this will just be a refresher for you.😉 The process of extracting our pure essential oils ain’t for wussies or for those who prefer to cut corners to make extra $$ for their pockets at the expense of those who buy them.

Next time you are tempted to save a buck, know that precious few companies even come close to protecting, cultivating, harvesting, and distilling essential oils in a manner that preserves their purity and therapeutic properties. Just ask anyone whose life has been changed by YLEO”s! 💖🙏🌿💧

Location Location Location

Whether you are buying a house, or looking for quality food and produce, it will boil down to one thing….. Location location location!

Which brings me to why Young Living has gone to great lengths to have a partner farm in Ningxia China.ONE MINUTE VIDEO!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSWyTJwzRA


The Ningxia Hui region is in northwest China near Mongolia. (It’s about the size of the state of Texas). There are approximately 1.78 Million people living in this area, and they eat (among other things) wolfberries as a daily staple of their diet.

Interestingly, the Ningxia people have almost 30 times the number of 100 year olds (centenarians) per capita as the rest of China. This is a people group that tends to live long healthy lives!👵👴

​​Within this region are the Ningxia people of the west elbow plateau of the Yellow River…. an area that is shielded from outside influence and cultures. #cleanandpureThe Yellow River flood plain (where our Ningxia Wolfberries are grown) is watered by melting snow from the Himalayan mountains. As the water flows downward, it gathers an incredible assortment of pure minerals and organic nutrients from the mountains.

The result is mineral rich, super fertile siltwater….. a unique growth medium found nowhere else on earth. No surprise, the Ningxia region is called “China’s herbal medicine valley”.
Because the area itself is so shielded from outside influence, there is an unusual purity of soil. Leave it to Young Living to source our products from pristine environments! 💝

So, location matters…. And the soil content matters too! Since the mid 70’s, agricultural soil world wide has been slowly depleted of its rich mineral content. Now, even organic foods are often minerally depleted because of decades long poor soil management.

Poor mineral content in soil = poor mineral content in food = mineral deficiencies in people = disease & dysfunction
#mineralrichsoilandwatermatters!

And guess what!….. We’ll never have to worry about depleted soils affecting our NingXia wolfberry products. Why?….. Because of the constant flow of nutrients and minerals from the Himalayan mountains snowmelt runoff, the wolfberry plants remain rich in nutrients!
Pretty cool, huh? 

👉If you’ve never tried NingXia Red, I’d suggest starting with the two pack (item #3042).

👉 Dried organic wolfberries ( item # 6360) are also a super healthy snack:
🍓15% protein by weight
🍓Contains over 21 essential minerals (including magnesium and potassium)
🍓18 amino acids
🍓Healthy (and substantial) amounts of vitamin B1, B3, C, calcium, and beta carotene.
🍓21% fiber by weight (more than oatbran or buckwheat)

They are easily substitutable for any recipe that normally calls for raisins or dried cranberries!

Our NingXia Red is made with wolfberry puree and other antioxidant rich fruits, so we are getting a healthy liquid source of all of the above!

I hope you found all of this as fascinating as I did… I had fun learning alongside you!

You can grow wolfberries elsewhere (and lots of places do!), but they’ll never hold a nutritional candle to the wolfberry from the Yellow River flood plain in NingXia, China!
