First let’s talk quality. I can’t tell you how many times I tell people that I use Young Living and they respond, “Oh, you use the expensive ones!” Ah, no. I use the GOOD ones. Unfortunately, the essential oil industry is largely unregulated. Many oil companies purchase oils from brokers not knowing anything about theContinue reading “Oils on a budget: Seed to Seal”

Young Living on a Budget
When I started purchasing Young Living I was buying from someone who marked it up double of wholesale, so when I got my own account it was already so much more affordable! 😂😂 Listen, I know what it’s like to live on a limited budget. To have 14 doctor bills from different hospitals and doctors.Continue reading “Young Living on a Budget”
National Librarians Day
I don’t know that I’ve talked about my job much on here but I started this post as an IG post and as you can see it became very long. And I felt too maudlin for IG. But I also felt it deserved a spot. People need to know these things. I know everything becameContinue reading “National Librarians Day”
How to receive free products
What did Santa leave under your tree?? Young Living sent all of this to me for free! I remember many years ago when my friend shared her free products from Young Living.

Grounding

Sunday Takeaways 7-11-21
It’s been forever since I did a Sunday Takeaway. We’ve been going over church doctrine – why we believe what we believe – and while it’s been a good study and I’ve learned many things, I felt like I would have to repeat the whole sermon to reflect on it. Pastor built on each pointContinue reading “Sunday Takeaways 7-11-21”
I was Locked Out of My IG Account for 36 Hours and Here’s What I Learned
I was recently performing some housekeeping on my IG account and unfollowed one too many people. IG thought I was a robot or a third party company that helps people gain followers and it shut me out. It gave me the opportunity to change my password but then it didn’t. It told me to clickContinue reading “I was Locked Out of My IG Account for 36 Hours and Here’s What I Learned”
