That is a better deal than free shipping!!
Alright, so how are you doing? If you're in the lower mainland, then I feel like we're seeing some sunny days and that is making a huge difference for my mood! How are you feeling?
I would be so honored to hear back from you about how life is going right now. It's so all over the place for everyone that it's hard to know when to reach out and when to stay away! I am always an open door, ready to listen and hear your story.

And now for the always amazing PV promos for April!
First up, Purification is one that I use on my dryer balls, in stinky shoes, and in the diffuser after anything smelly is cooked. You know that smell when you walk into someone's house after they've cooked dinner... and it was nothing special, but dinner still lingers? Purification is my answer!
Lushious Lemon Foaming Handsoap is what I'm really looking forward to this month - if you haven't yet tried it, take my word, you will LOVE this!
Tea Tree is a natural health product approved for using for symptoms of Cough and Cold folks! This has been my go to for my kids or anyone with sensitive skin since it's not a hot oil. I slather it (like 10-20 drops if I'm really serious about kicking out cough/cold symptoms) on my kid's spine/back area and their feet. I'll put it everywhere on them if they'll let me!
Not a day goes by that I'm not spraying Thieves Household Cleaner somewhere! On my mattress and pillows, in my truck, windows, tv screen, light switches, hood fan over the stove... And yet it still lasts me a very long time! So grateful for the concentration of this stuff and that I can dilute it to my liking. Saves me so much money - and it's even free this month?? Double save!
The Thieves Laundry Soap is also concentrated so I always make one bottle into two bottles with some water and a couple tbsps of the Thieves Household cleaner in each! And then you still only need about a tsp in each load! Love this stuff!
I never used to get sore. I'm coming to terms with the fact that my body is getting along in age and I need to support it better. Thnkfully I've got a few bottles of Deep Relief around and my husband who's already been using it on his sore muscles for years. He helps me remember to use it! Recently I also used it for a headache which was quite a lovely feeling once the headache was relieved!
Peppermint - ok seriously, I love this hack. If/when I have an itchy spot that I just can't stop scratching - I put a drop of peppermint on it! (but not if I've already scratched it to be an open sore - then I use lavender or Purification!). Peppermint keeps me awake on long car rides, calms my tummy in almost any situation and I love Peppermint + in hot water - pure peppermint tea!
So to Recap and so you can see what size of orders earn what, here's a summary graphic!

No need to complicate things right?
Well what if we just add a bit of water to our NingXia Red everyday. Super simple, takes the bite off and allows us to enjoy the NingXia Red through a whole drink rather than just a quick sip!
Plus wouldn't it make sense that our bodies might actually have a chance to absorb more of the nutrients if those nutrients were a little more spread out - over say, a full glass or bottle of water, than a quick 2 ozs? Now I'm not saying that will for sure happen, and due to the fact that our bodies all absorb differently due to the health and wellness of our gut etc, I don't think anyone can assure you of that, however I am game to give my body that chance!

So I do that, I add my 2ozs of NingXia Red to a bottle of water, add in some flavoring plus oils like Lime or Lemon or Orange and off we go! That's my first bottle of water drank for the day! If I have any powder supplements, I add them here too!
How do you take your NingXia Red?
It's probably time I share what's been working for me!
Who loves the dentist?? Yeah, me neither!
Recently I had some dental work done and often with that, comes some pain. So almost right away as I left the office, I put some helichrysum on the gauze in my mouth first. I believe that the helichrysum helped to keep it clean so healing could be sped up. Then as the freezing wore off, I began applying Copaiba to my cheek and alternated it with some Panaway. I did this every few hours or so. And guess what! No pain! I was so thrilled! I had M-grain nearby just in case and expected to use loads of Panaway, but I really didn't need any past that first 24 hours!
Do you have any good dental routines at home?
I recently started a few things - a few months ago actually and I believe they are making a difference for my teeth and mouth in general.
I recently started a few things - a few months ago actually and I believe they are making a difference for my teeth and mouth in general.
First thing in the morning I hold Coconut oil in my mouth for 20 minutes - this is called Oil Pulling if you hadn't heard of that. I add 3-4 drops of wintergreen and 4-5 drops of frankincense to this as well. I do it before even taking a drink of water or brushing my teeth!
Then in the evening, I brush, floss and then rinse with a mouthwash that I add 4-5 drops of Frankincense to, and a couple of drops of wintergreen again! I hold this in my mouth for a couple of minutes and then personally, I swallow it!
I know that what I do isn't for everyone, however when I told my dentist, he fully approved!
I used to be such a saver as I grew up.
Now my husband would call me a spender.
Do you feel like one of those tags could be used to describe you?
or maybe like me, you're a spender in some seasons and a saver in others.
or maybe like me, you're a spender in some seasons and a saver in others.
Or maybe it depends on the item, for me I can justify just about anything in a grocery store as long as it's semi-healthy. And I can justify all sorts of educational items for my kids, meanwhile, I'm holding off on the water pik that would serve my teeth immensely... it's so odd!
How do you decide what to spend on, and what to wait on?
When Black Friday comes around, I tend to get into a spending season and it becomes hard to stop because usually I've waited all year long to finally buy the kids all new pillows that they so desperately need and a rug for our living room etc. The list is built all year long and now the flood gates open (yet I don't find everything I'm looking for...).

Anyway, I find myself in an odd spot and maybe you do too. Spending lots yet waiting on things - mostly for myself!
One thing though that I'm really excited about is all the limited time oils that Young Living Canada released yesterday!! I'm super pumped for Majestic Canada, Canadian Fleabane and Rue essential oils. And I already have a couple of 15ml bottles of Cassia which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to say the least.
Are you getting your hands on any of these special oils? You won't regret it, I promise!
While not everyone is heading back to school in the fall, most are still heading back to some form of learning.
We are heading into our 2nd year of homeschooling and I am both so excited and also nervous once again.
So I'm choosing to focus on the things I'm grateful for, and excited for!
*freedom to sleep (and let my children sleep) until they want to get up
So I'm choosing to focus on the things I'm grateful for, and excited for!
*freedom to sleep (and let my children sleep) until they want to get up
*no rush around in the mornings
*no packed lunches
*freedom to learn what the kids actually want to learn about
*freedom to challenge my kids who need it, and spend extra time and practice with the kids who need that.
*no worries about what school will look like this fall
*a new curriculum to try out and an old one to fall back to if necessary
*a new curriculum to try out and an old one to fall back to if necessary
*new friends joining the homeschool community
*our summer activities don't have to end
*weaving homesteading skills into the learning
*truly knowing and having a relationship with my children
(after 3 years in full time school, it felt as though I didn't really know my oldest child and when we began to homeschool, it felt as though I got him back! Such an incredible feeling to again have this close bond with him)
There are many other things to be grateful for, these are just what came to mind at the moment.
And please if you send your kids to school, I do not judge, I was there and my journey has now brought me here. We need schools, we need teachers and many teachers are amazing human beings and many school are wonderful places. My biggest thing was that I desired more time with the children I was called to raise.
So if you have any questions about homeschooling, I am freshly new to it so I remember very well where you are if you're just beginning! I actually still feel like I'm just beginning and simply feeling more comfortable not knowing what I'm actually doing here! Just trial by error and flying by the seat of my pants! And that's something for this normally organized girl!
Some of my fave blends for schooling times would be Kidscents Genius, Valor (everyday, sometimes every hour), Vetiver, Cedarwood, Stressaway, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Clarity, Tranquil and so many more. On the back of their necks or in the diffuser - makes a difference for sure!
All the best as we navigate September!
