Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Though this message is posted a few days late, the information is still useful year-round.

For all you who have been eating and enjoying over indulging yourself with yummy food, may I suggest an oil that will assist your body in digesting it all.

Forever Young has an oil blend called EASE.  EASE is specifically designed to ease any digestive upset you may have.  Diarrhea, constipation, cramping, bloating, heartburn, belching, gas: you name it, EASE can help with it.  Ease is great to have on hand in the kitchen or is even good to carry with you when you know you’ll be eating a rich or fatty meal.

Simply put a drop of EASE under your tongue, or rub it on your tummy and your digestive discomfort will be eased.  It has worked every time I’ve used it.  I love it!

When my toddler is complaining about her stomach hurting from needing to poop, she knows to ask for oil to rub on her tummy.  It never fails that within 15 minutes, her diaper is full and her tummy is all better!

If you are someone who experiences digestive issues regularly, including heartburn/acid reflux, use EASE and also consider doing the Liver Cleanse.  I have seen amazing results with the Liver Cleanse and the disappearance of acid reflux symptoms.

Today, among other things, was my raw desserts class. I must say, it was quite a treat! I had so much fun sharing recipes and ideas and hearing insights from those who attended. I just love getting together with like-minded people and sharing our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My favorite part of teaching is definitely the people I get to meet at my classes. Teaching is so much fun!

So, here’s a recipe my class sampled today. It is super yummy and with the added essential oils, super healthy. There’s nothing like eating fudge and knowing that at the same time you’re boosting your immune system and oxygenating your blood!

Orange Chocolate Fudge

2 1/4 cups pure maple syrup (agave works too)

2 1/4 cups raw cacao powder

1 cup raw coconut oil

12 or more drops Forever Young Orange Essential Oil

Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into pan/dish and place in the freezer until firm.

To make peppermint fudge, use 5 or so drops of Forever Young Peppermint Oil instead of Orange Oil.

I’ve been having so much fun and keeping busy teaching classes, doing aromatic touch sessions, and well, just living life, that I haven’t taken time to post in two weeks.  Yikes!

I am happy to say that amidst everything I’ve been doing,  I have been enjoying life and meeting tons of wonderful people.  I love making new friends!

I have also rediscovered a wonderful and very helpful Forever Green product, Electrifire.  These handy little drinks have kept me going on the days when sleep hasn’t been an option and life must go on.  The wonderful thing about Electrifire is that it is all natural, made from organic plant concentrates and is totally safe.  Even for me who has a limited diet, drinking Electrifire has no negative effects.  One ounce of Electrifire gives me hours of energy.  It not only boosts my energy level, but also boosts my mood too.

For those who are wondering, here’s what’s in it: purified water, organic agave, proprietary blend of the following concentrates:cranberry, pomegranate, passion fruit, aronia berry, lime, orange, ginger, rose, ylang ylang, neroli, geranium, frankincense, tulsi, turmeric, peppermint, nutmeg and astaxanthin, guarana powder, rosemary antioxidant, niacin, vitamin B-12, ionic sea trace minerals.

If you’re the type of person that needs a pick-me-up in the middle of the day or even first thing in the morning, Electrifire is an amazing substitute for your morning coffee or afternoon Coke.  Try it, you’ll like it! And it is so healthy!  Learn more about Electrifire HERE

Let’s Get Fired UP!

The class originally scheduled for Tues Nov. 4 has been changed to Tues Nov. 11, so as not to be in conflict with elections.

My friend Lorene who is an Essential Oils Expert forwarded this letter to me and I thought I’d share it with you. It’s a wonderful experience that shows us that essential oils aren’t just for people; animals need them too.

“My sons Rat terrier had the nail completely broke off to the pad I initially packed it in dry tea to stop the bleeding (works great) anyway as dogs do his continues licking was making it raw and the toe next to it. I took a piece of gauze with a couple drops lavender and a couple drops of tea tree (love this oil for healing). I placed it between the pads and wrapped the rest of the foot so he would leave it alone. He had it on for about 6 hours when I decided to give him a break from hopping around the house.

When I pulled it off I was shocked! I was totally unaware that the toe with the broken nail was infected the oils had pulled it out of the toe and onto the gauze. I have since cleaned once between the toes with a q-tip of tea tree and his foot is almost completely healed with not swelling at all.”  T.

A friend of mine mentioned to me last week that she rubbed Lavender and Quiescent on her husband’s feet and he, who is usually restless and has a hard time sleeping, slept like a baby. I’ve used Quiescent every night for quite some time now, but have recently because of her experience, added Lavender as well and have had wonderful results. I’ve been sleeping soundly through the night and waking up refreshed and ready to start a new day.

For my younger children, I like to use TLC and/or Lavender at night, and for the older ones, I use Lavender and Quiescent. Quiescent calms the chatter in your brain, TLC soothes and relaxes your body, and Lavender is a wonderful calmer in general, but more specifically can be used for insomnia, nervous exhaustion, restlessness and headaches.

Try using your Lavender and Quiescent tonight and knock yourself out!
