Happy May!
It’s taken me some time to get this month's newsletter off the ground. Social Distancing has really started to take a toll on me. I have found many blessings within quarantine, but not being able to have the freedom to go where I want, when I want, makes me feel like I am on house arrest and quite frankly a little depressed.
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 2 drops Citrus Fresh™ Vitality
- 1 drop Lime Vitality
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1–2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the pit from the avocados and scoop the flesh into a bowl, mashing roughly with a fork.
- Add all other ingredients and stir until mixed.
- Garnish with cilantro.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips or with your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes!
Here's the recipe:
1/2 Cup Granulated white cane sugar
1/2 cup Avocado oil (or any liquid form carrier oil)
Essential Oils of your choice
Here’s how it’s done:
1) Pour ½ cup granulated white cane sugar into a mason jar with a lid. Slowly stir in ½ cup avocado oil. Mix the ingredients together until well blended.
2) Add Essential oils 4-5 drops each and blend well.
Geranium, Patchouli and Sandalwood for Dry Skin
Frankincense, Lavender & Myrrh for Chapped and Cracked Skin
3)Scoop a small amount of the scrub into your hands, then gently rub it onto your skin for about 30 seconds. Use it on your arms, legs, hands, elbows… anywhere you need it!
4) Rinse with warm water, then follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration. (I recommend Sensation by Young Living while your skin is still slightly damp to seal in moisture.)
Finally, we will also be celebrating Memorial Day to reflect upon all the sacrifices that were made to ensure our freedom. I suggest you grab your Gratitude blend and rub some on and speak words of thankfulness. I know I will be!

Stress Away
These last few months have undoubtedly been stressful. We have been crossing through uncharted territories and experiencing unfamiliar situations. We need to be supporting our emotions through all of it, and we can do that with our essential oils!
As you inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules enter the nasal cavity and pass by the olfactory bulb. Your olfactory bulb is a part of your limbic system and therefore your response to an aroma is going to be emotional before it can be rational.
Each essential oil has a unique chemical makeup. We can take advantage of that and use essential oils to improve our mood, feel calmer or more energized, or reach a deeper state of happiness. So grab that Stress Away and breathe it in! It’s a blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender and does exactly what the name implies!
