Workaday Wednesday ::: Give a Little

Generous.

Even the word sounds rich & juicy.

Yet we can get so tied up in our 'Workadays' that - even though we mean to be thoughtful & caring - our focus can be entirely tied up in ME.

What if, instead, we woke up and thought, "What can I do today to make his/her/their life better?" It could be your family, your neighbor, your colleague, or even the new kid at the market. What would happen if we focused on helping them, instead of fixing ourselves?

As I recall, Life Improves.

Tipster Tuesday ::: DIY Cleansing Wipes with Protective Essential Oil

DIY Cleansing Wipes with Protective Essential Oil

Cleansing wipes are extremely convenient and are great to have on hand when wiping down surfaces. Making your own wipes is easy, fun, effective, and affordable. You probably already have everything you need in your home, so get going!

Ingredients

Sweet & Easy!

1 roll premium paper towels
2 c warm water
2 tbsp Fractionated coconut oil
3 drops Protective Blend
3 drops Lemon essential oil
1-2 tbsp Protective Foaming Hand Wash

An airtight storage container

Instructions

Cut paper towel in half width-wise with a serrated or electric knife. Use half the roll now, and half later.

Combine water, Fractionated Coconut Oil, essential oils, and Protective Foaming Hand Wash in a small bowl.

Pour the mixture over the paper towels and then cover with the airtight lid letting the mixture absorb for 10 minutes.

Turn the container over and let sit for another 10 minutes.

Remove and discard the cardboard middle. Just store in the airtight container, and pull the wipes from the center when you are ready to use.

Magical Monday! ::: Planning The Path

Plan for Success!

You've joined the team. You're pumped to start using & sharing the oils.

So, HOW do you do it?!

First, stay in touch! Reach out to your upline, crossline, and, yes, your downline to help inspire & teach you.

Second, write it in a schedule. If you plan the time you will have the time.

And, third, PICK UP THE PHONE!
Yeah, yeah. I know it weighs 500 lbs ... but try this:
Set a timer for 1/2 hour. That's not long, you can do that much, right? Call or text for that limited time only, and it won't seem so hard next time.

Blessings on your journey of sharing health & happiness with the world!

Sunday Spirit ::: Faith Rocks

Have Faith.
Seriously.
Have. Faith.

Faith doesn't mean you are never afraid or you have no doubts. Those are normal, and healthy.
Faith means you get up & walk through it anyway.

It doesn't matter what your Faith looks like ... even within a particular genre we each have our own picture. What matters is that it is Loving. And bigger than you or your problems put together.

Faith. It's pretty amazing.

Foodie Friday! ::: Raw Blueberry Bars with Wild Orange and Cinnamon Essential Oil

Raw Blueberry Bars with Wild Orange and Cinnamon Essential Oil

From brunch, to hiking, to bridal showers, to school lunches, these bars are beautiful and filling enough for any occasion. Sweet, and super easy, they’re sure to please a wide variety!

INGREDIENTS

Base Layer - 
1-1/2 c oat flour
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp molasses
1 drop Cinnamon essential oil

Blueberry Layer -
4 c blueberries (Frozen is fine but be sure to thaw first;
also, fresh will give you a more vibrant color.)
3 c oat flour
1/2 c maple syrup
5 tbsp coconut oil
2-5 drops Wild Orange essential oil

DIRECTIONS

Base Layer - Melt coconut oil in microwave and combine with other ingredients, adding the Cinnamon essential oil last. Mix well. Press mixture into a layer an 7×11 pan. Place pan in refrigerator to firm up.

Blueberry Layer - Puree blueberries in a food processor. Melt coconut oil and combine all remaining ingredients, adding the Wild Orange essential oil last.

Press blueberry layer evenly on top of bottom layer. Dust with unsweetened cocoa power like we did or leave them blue and bare-y. Place in fridge to chill until desired consistency is reached.

TIPS - Cover leftovers with plastic; the air will cause the bars to darken in color. You can enjoy the bars now or freeze for later. In the fridge the bars last about 5 days. We recommend storing in the pan and cutting at the last possible moment to preserve the color and smooth, moist texture. For a fruitier taste, halve the amount of flour in the blueberry layer and halve the entire base layer recipe.
