Organic Labels – Not What You Think

· ·

It’s an interesting thing (and not in a good interesting way 😢) how hard people work to bend systems put in place to give people both protection and choices. Imagine if all that effort went instead to actually making the world a better place! 🙏
I’m sure you have heard the word “greenwashing”. We tend to think of that term as one that pertains to the cosmetics, household cleaners, and personal care products world. “Those” who employ their crafty ways to make a product appear clean and good for all of us, when in fact….. the product is NOT that way at all. They use all the “right” terminology to make you think they are “clean” through their advertising (and perhaps so you won’t take the time to read🤓 the actual ingredients 🙄), when in fact, the product is loaded with badness. (Thank goodness for Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner line and the personal care products….. we can actually trust what the label and advertising say…… although don’t believe me…. read the labels yourself 😉)
Sadly, greenwashing in the food industry is a problem too. Do these chickens look happy? I’m sure when someone buys these “organic” chickens 🐓at the grocery store, they think they are getting some formerly happy free-range birds….. all while paying a PREMIUM price for them. (This happens all the time in the egg🥚 industry too btw.)
Best practice? Know your farmer personally. And if that isn’t feasible, know someone who does know the farmer. AND, if that isn’t feasible, find a place where full transparency is in order. Here are some of my favorite places to buy chicken. (We have our own personal beef source from our farm).
Let’s help our fellow peeps out….. where do you source truly organic free-range animal protein?

Electroculture Gardening

· ·

I’ve had a garden for years, and this has been the most productive one yet! We read about electroculture gardening in the early spring and decided to give it a try. Same seed company (although I did add some fun flowers from Grams Gardens this year). If you are a gardener and have tried the electroculture addition to your gardening toolbox, I’d love to hear your results too!
 

May Day Young Living Gifts

· ·

When I was little we celebrated May Day! (Did anyone else do this?) We would make little handmade baskets out of paper and milk cartons, and then fill them up with candy and flowers and go hang them on the doors of older people and people who might be lonely (we would ring the doorbell and then run off and hide and watch them be surprised by their little gift).
 
This month’s Young Living gift with purchase is kinda like that! I LOVE LOVE LOVE when they gift us supplements or other products we maybe have never tried. About 9 years ago, they gifted a bottle of Sulfurzyme as part of the Monthly Freebies…… and it changed MY life (and health trajectory for my bladder…. among other points of inflammation in my body).
 
Don’t miss out on those free Loyalty Rewards Points (10…. just for placing an LR order! Remember points = cash for products you already use and buy anyway!)
Citronella…… I keep a bottle of Citronella in the Laundry room (I use it on my dryer balls in the summer…. it is a fresh scent, and it helps keep the mosquitoes and biting bugs away….. if you have an outdoor kitchen or spend a lot of time on the patio… put a diffuser out there. It’s WAY healthier than the toxic chemicals that are used to do the same thing. Citronella is known to repel spiders, gnats, fleas, and mosquitoes. A great recipe for naturally repelling pests from your garden plants…. ( 1 tsp castile soap, 10 drops peppermint, 10 drops rosemary, 10 drops citronella, 10 drops lemongrass, and water in a 16 oz spray bottle. Mist the leaves and stem of the plant🌿 every 5-7 days)
 
DiGize….. Such an important oil blend for keeping the digestive system happy. For many people, DiGize was the “aha” moment that essential oils are a valuable tool and should never be left out of a first aid kit. If indigestion is a “thing” for you, try a little dab in your belly button 😉. Can I see a show of hands on those who have back walked out of some 😵🤢🥴moments thanks to this blend?
 
Detoxzyme is a fantastic companion to DiGize. Sooooooo many people don’t understand that their digestive woes are often partially the result of insufficient digestive enzymes. Such an easy fix! Detoxzyme is helpful in the digestive process, and it’s formulated to be extra helpful if you are interested in improving your elimination of toxins. It can be taken regularly to assist in the process. PRO Tip: Before going to bed, load up on Detoxzyme…. the liver is most active at night, and you’ll drop more toxins laden 💩 in the toilet the next day!
 
Rose Ointment…… I’ve heard so many beautiful skin-healing stories about this helpful tool! It is deeply soothing for dry, irritated skin. I’m sure you’ll find it one you reach for as part of your skin TLC toolbox!
 
Have a great day friends! Which gift are you most excited about?

Lovin’ On My People

· ·

Nothing says love like a good old ionic footbath detox! ❤️😜🤓 Seriously tho….. better that gunk is outside you than inside you🥴!
 
We sure had a fun morning loving on our Young Living community. If health and wellness isn’t addressing mind, body and spirit, then there will be a missing piece of the wellness puzzle.
 
Studies (multiple ones!) show repeatedly that the overall health of a person is affected pretty dramatically by their community (those they do life with). We are the sum and reflection of the people we spend our time with.
 
Is your tribe contributing in a positive way to your health?

Farmlife

· ·

The view from here wasn’t pretty this morning ⚡️🌨🌊. I wouldn’t trade farmlife for anything despite the curveballs North Texas weather throws at us. I will say, challenging days like this separates the farm folk from the city dwellers. I think back to our ancestors and admire them so much. I’m pretty tough and willing to do hard things on the regular, but the thought of our people in covered wagons or sod houses (both of which were part of my family’s history) in this kind of rain….I can’t imagine not having a dry warm place to retreat to with running water to rinse off all the mud.

Our ancestors (all of ours), were made of tougher cloth, or we wouldn’t be here . They endured life in ways we can’t easily imagine. I daresay, our current combined generations would have a hard time surviving if “common comforts” were taken away. It’s a good thing to get uncomfortable sometimes. 🙃 It reminds us of our basic luxuries and it is in our uncomfortableness that we are most often innovative and experience growth.

That’s how I started my own health journey when I was in my 30’s. I was uncomfortable enough with my health situation that I was willing to seek a better way. 20+ later I thank God for that uncomfortableness!🙏❤️
