Pedometer Challenge

By Leave a Comment

Beginning in February, our Naturally His oily community is hosting a pedometer challenge!

We’re encouraging a fitness lifestyle and offering fun prizes for those who have the most steps each week.

It’s really simple. Keep track of daily steps with a pedometer and send us a screenshot each week. There’s a $10 entry fee and that goes to the grand prize winner for mad money at convention!

We tally it up and the winner with the most steps each week gets a prize and at the end of the challenge in April, the grand winner gets a ticket to the young Living convention!

The other benefits? You’ll probably lose weight and have more energy! Who doesn’t want to look and feel great?

Naturally His Pedometer Challenge

We invite you to join us if you are already a part of the Naturally His group.

And if you’re not on an oily team, JOIN our community and begin using essential oils in combination with fitness. It’ll change your life for the better!

We will be giving away a bottle of essential oil each week and the grand prize includes a Young Living Grand Convention ticket and mad money to spend!

Prior to February 1, 2015, obtain a pedometer.

It is preferred to use a device such as a FitBit® or Nike® Fuel since these pedometers will sync with a mobile device or computer (easier to send us screenshots). We need to check stats to keep the contest fair!

We look forward to seeing all our friends take part in getting healthier and walking more with status updates on Instagram and Twitter using #WiseHouseWalks.

Contact me for more info and join our community today!

Essential Beauty Face Oil

By 1 Comment

I’ve LOVE using essential oils in my beauty routine. I don’t like all the chemicals in commercial beauty products.

My teen daughter and I typically use coconut oil and some essential oils after morning cleansing.

When we want something with a little more moisture and nourishment, we add several essential oils to a blend of nourishing carrier oils.

Essential Beauty Face Oil

Here’s my favorite recipe for Essential Beauty Face Oil:

  • 1 oz. Sweet Almond Oil (Hydrates, brightens, reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Use another carrier oil if you’re allergic to tree nuts!)
  • 3 Tsp. Vitamin E Oil (Nourishes. Antioxidant that protects and repairs your skin.)
  • 3 Tsp. Castor Oil (Moisturizes and stimulates lash growth. Reduces puffiness and helps eliminate wrinkles and scars.)
  • 5-7 drops Frankincense essential oil
  • 3 drops Lemon essential oil
  • 3-5 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 1 Evening Primrose Oil capsule (Hydrates the skin and increases circulation. Also reduces inflammation and clears pores.)

Mix the carrier oils together in a dark glass bottle (I typically use a dropper bottle). Puncture the Evening Primrose Oil capsule and squirt it in. Apply every night all over face (especially the sensitive and thin eyelids!), neck, and décolleté before going to bed. It smells heavenly and nourishes the skin.

Dropper bottle

Here are some options for specific combinations that can suit your skin’s needs.

Experiment. Have fun. Smell great! Have gorgeous skin.

Pick a Carrier Oil or a Few:

  • Carrier oils for Normal skin: Almond, Hazelnut, Apricot kernel, Jojoba, Evening Primrose
  • Carrier oils for Dry skin: Almond, Olive oil, Apricot kernel, Soy bean, Avocado, Wheatgerm, Jojoba, Carrot, Evening Primrose
  • Carrier oils for Oily skin: Almond, Hazelnut, Apricot kernel, Grapeseed, Jojoba
  • Carrier oil for Mature skin: Almond, Hazelnut, Apricot kernel, Wheatgerm, Evening Primrose, Carrot, Rosehip, Pomegranate, Borage

Pick the Best Essential Oils for Your Skin Type and the Scents You Love:

  • Essential oils for Normal skin: German Chamomile, Lemon, Geranium, Fennel, Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, Neroli, Frankincense, Carrot Seed
  • Essential oils for Dry skin: German Chamomile, Lavender, Calendula, Sandalwood, Geranium, Patchouli, Rose, Rosemary, Neroli
  • Essential oils for Oily skin: Cedarwood, Geranium, Clary Sage, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Lemon, Peppermint, Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Juniper, Grapefruit, Rosemary, Neroli
  • Essential oils for Mature skin: Rose, Geranium, Myrrh, Patchouli, Lavender, Citrus, Frankincense, Neroli, Fennel, Clary Sage, Sage, Cypress, Sandalwood
    I see an improvement in my skin texture and clarity, especially with the dryer colder air as winter approaches.
    What are your favorite scents?

 

10 DIY Gifts with Essential Oils

By 1 Comment

Want some DIY gift ideas? Someone into natural health and beauty would love these items!

Check out these ten DIY gifts with essential oils:

10 DIY Essential Oils Gifts

 

1. Simple Homemade Cleaner. As simple as baking soda and essential oils in a pretty jar. I like the oily combination of Thieves, Peppermint, and Citrus. Perfect for cleaning the bathroom and scrubbing your nose. Super safe and smells great! For really good cleaning, add some vinegar.

2. Scented Play Dough. Add essential oils (or even dry spice blends like Apple or Pumpkin!), glitter, and natural food coloring for pretty fun!

Simple play dough recipe: Mix in warm nonstick pan.

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 Tablespoon cream of tartar

Add essential oils, glitter, and natural food coloring and knead until desired consistency. Store in pretty jar with a ribbon. I like Christmas Spirit, Lavender, Citrus, or Peppermint.

3. Beauty Serum: Great for all skin types and smells amazing. Check out the recipe here. What lady wouldn’t love to find this in her stocking? Great way to get teens into a good skin care routine. Another super easy skin recipe is whipped coconut oil with Lavender.

4. Shower Soothers. Add about 10-15 drops of any of these: Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Rosemary, Lavender, Clove, Cinnamon, Peppermint (decide what scents you love) to a baking soda paste (about 1-2 cups of baking soda with about 1/2 c water until it’s pasty like putty). Place in a pretty silicone muffin tray to dry for about 30 minutes. Pop out and store in a pretty bag with a ribbon. (Beware use with children. These are “hot” oils and could irritate lungs.)

5. Roll-on Blends. Add essential oils to a carrier oil like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Almond Oil, fractionated Coconut Oil, or V-6 for personalized blends in pretty and easy roll-on bottles. Some of my favorite oils and blends are Cedarwood and Lavender, Frankincense and Lemon, Thieves, Valor, Pine and Orange.

6. Scented Bath Salts. 1 c Epsom Salt, 1/2 c baking soda, 10 drops of a soothing essential oil like Lavender. Mix and place in a pretty jar! Add a sprig of dried lavender and a little scoop to the ribbon for a pretty and useful present. Check out this lovely post about a relaxing bath.

7. Scented Salt Dough Ornaments. Pretty and fun for the whole family. Great for an ornament exchange party!

Recipe:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1 cup water

Add essential oils and natural food coloring to dough. Cut out in pretty shapes. Acrylic paints and glitter (optional). Bake at 225 F for 3-6 hours. Seal with lacquer (optional) but they will last longer and be shiny. Not sure if they will smell as great though. Add a hanging ribbon.

8. Pretty Soap. You can get a goat’s milk soap base and melt it down. Add essential oils and oatmeal or dried herbs for extra oomp. Place in a pretty soap mold or silicone muffin tin to harden. Pop out and wrap up in pretty paper!

9. Sugar Scrub. A great pampering gift for anyone! Makes skin smooth and smell great!

Recipe: Melt coconut oil in a double boiler (I often just use a glass jar). Stir in white or brown sugar until desired consistency. Add essential oil and 1 drop of natural food coloring, if desired.

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 1½ – 2 cups sugar
  • 5-10 drops Peppermint oil

I also really love this coffee sugar scrub!

10. Lip Balm. Soothe those wintery dry lips!

Recipe: Melt wax, honey, butter, and oil together in a glass jar or double boiler. Remove from heat and add essential oils. While still liquid, pour into a lip balm containers and cool until hardened. You can also use old mint tins or little balm jars.

  • 1/4 Cup Beeswax
  • 2 Teaspoons Honey
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/4 Cup shea or cocoa butter
  • 10 drops of essential oil (whatever you like – Thieves, Peppermint, Lavender, Citrus)

These fun and easy DIY items are great for a make and take party too.
