Need to drink more water?

One of my daily challenges is drinking the correct amount of water to meet my body's needs.  They recommend drinking 50-60% of your body weight in ounces per day.  Here's what I use to help me achieve this:

I usually add 2 drops of oil to every 4 oz of water. It's a powerful cleanser and purifying agent in your body and can help improve your mood! As always, let me know how you like it!

Sick of Coughing?

It seems this season that lingering cough is going around.  

If you're sick of it, make some of this for yourself or your loved ones!  

If you don't have these oils yet, be sure to email me so I can help you get all of your supplies!  oils4erin@gmail.com

I really enjoyed this recipe.  In fact I made it just last night and it's really been helping, plus it tastes great!  My tip for you would be to put the coconut oil in a pan on the stove top on low heat just to melt the oil a bit. Then I mixed all of the ingredients in a sealable glass container.  You only need 1/2 teaspoon to ease your cough, the mixture will make approximately 12 servings.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have!  I'd love to hear your feedback, so be sure to leave a comment.

Trouble sleeping?

If you have sleep issues, you have to get your hands on some vetiver oil!   What I love about it is it helps me to turn my mind off quickly and to sleep deeply.  I never feel groggy or "drugged" the next day. And the BEST part is, I haven't put anything harmful into my body!

Sleep is oh so important for us.  Everyone knows how terrible you feel when you don't get a good night's rest.  I for one will never forget those months as a new mom trying to function on very little sleep.  I was a mess!  If only I knew about essential oils then, I imagine how much better my sleep would have been (probably not any longer (-; )! If you want to read more about the importance of sleep, check out this article.  Before you hit the hay, get some vetiver!

Directions: Simply place 1 drop in your palm and rub it on the bottom of each big toe and at the base of your skull/top of neck.

Essential oils to the RESCUE!

This was the perfect birthday gift for my 23 year old sister!  She's in college and started having panic attacks due to all the stress of school.  Now she can say goodbye to "freakouts" and support her body in dealing with stress naturally.    What a relief to know my little sister is in good hands. (:

Can't wait to try this yummy recipe I found today!

Paleo Coconut & Avocado Grasshopper Bars 

By Raia Torn 

Makes approximately 8 servings 

Ingredients

Mint Layer

1 Hass avocado
1/4 c. honey (for low carb use 2 scoops stevia or 1/4 cup xylitol. Use other sweetener if you are a strict vegan.)
6 T. coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
3/8 t. peppermint extract, or a drop or two of peppermint essential oil (click here to see my choice for essential oils)
dash of salt (I recommend Real Salt.)

Chocolate Layer

1/4 c. coconut oil
2 T. honey (for low carb, use 1 scoop stevia or 2 T xylitol)
1/4 c. cocoa powder (or you can sub carob for a caffeine-free treat but it does add more carbs)
1/4 t. vanilla extract (I like to make my own)
dash of salt

Method

Mint Layer

1.  Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with foil.

2.  Place all ingredients in high powered blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix) or a food processor. Blend until smooth. (You can puree it if you want, but I like mine to have little flecks of coconut still.)

3.  Smooth mixture into prepared dish and stick in the freezer.

Chocolate Layer

1.  In small saucepan, melt coconut oil and honey over low heat.

2.  Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

3.  Pour over chilled bottom layer and return to the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is hardened.

4.  Remove from foil and cut into bars.

5.  Store covered in the freezer.
