Weight loss

Diet and Doterra

    I'm so grateful for Doterra.  It's what got me started on this journey. When I started drinking these essential oils in my water, it made me want to eat better. It helped with cravings,  gave me energy,  and alkalized my body.  Then I made the choice to start eliminating chemicals from my life. Just making these small changes has made a tremendous difference in my life. 

    I know sometimes I may sound like a broken record,  but I will continue to share my experiences because it's working.  And I want to help make others feel as good as I do!

It's so awesome to see how fast things are changing. When I first started talking about oils,  people gave me a weird look. Now, people are joining me with this movement.. they are taking their health into their own hands and not only changing their lives,  but the ripple effect is happening and it's helping others too! It's is so amazing to be a part of this movement.

The weight loss in these photos were from diet and doterra alone. I am in the process of adding weight training to my new lifestyle.

Scentsy replacement

     I know those scentsy melts smell amazing, but sometimes it seemed like mine would lose their scent. So,  for a refresher, I add my essential oils to them.  Helps to make them last longer, or I can create new scents!
     Or you can just put coconut oil in your warmer and add whatever you like to that! Right now I'm loving cinnamon bark and wild orange!

Butternut squash

I never liked squash as a kid so it's pretty weird how much I love it now. This is one squash cubed up and put in the crock pot. Add 2 tbs coconut oil and set on low for 6-7 hours.
Turn off the crock pot and add 2-3 drops of cinnamon bark. Mash by hand or put in the blender.
I like grilled chicken thighs to go along with the squash.

Lemon

So many ways to use lemon but I will just start with a few favorites of mine. 
      Lemon will remove anything sticky: gum, sap, grease. It is simply the best when cleaning your bathroom or kitchen.  I put 20 drops in a 2 oz spray bottle to spray whatever I need it.
     It will remove that hard water build up in the shower. I keep a jar of lemon baking soda to add to my laundry, or pour on my shoes for a deodorizer.
    I also drink it in the morning to alkalize my body.

Mashed cauliflower

I am a little obsessed with cauliflower because I have a hard time eating my vegetables.  I'm loving all the ways I can make it.  I will be adding to this post more recipes as I go. The first favorite is rosemary garlic mashed cauliflower.
As the picture shows, I use tooth picks to ensure I don't get too much! I used one big bag of cauliflower from Costco.  It's already cut up so I don't have to worry about more prep.
