There's no time, like the smelly time



Recently, I posted a short video onto the Busy Women's Health Facebook page where I did a reveal of what was in my January Essential Rewards order from Young Living.  In that video I stated that, while I love all the products, one of my current favorites is the Young Living Deodorant.

Now, part of the love is because I have a preteen boy.  If you don't have one of those, or never have, count your sinus's blessed and your gag reflex lucky.  I prayed for a boy and BOY did I get one.

Pepe Le Pew ain't got nothing on this kids post-any type of exercise musk.

I had already started to make the switch and my husband had already committed to the switch. I do the shopping, (he didn't have a choice), but unlike other times I've switched up his products, there was no backlash.  Actually, he just made the switch and told me when he needed more.  Huge Wifey Win!!

So when it was time to introduce B to deodorant, there was only one obvious choice.

Young Living Aromaguard Mountain Mint Deodorant.

First, he can read the ingredient list and knows what they all are.  Coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E, Lemon, Rosemary, Clove, Peppermint, Eucalyptus and White Fir Essential Oils.  And I know what exactly is going onto and into his system, especially over major lymph nodes.

Lymph nodes are throughout our entire body and help our immune system by collecting viruses and bacteria, among other things like fluid and waste outside our blood stream.  Sounds important right?

So why would I ever want to put something on my child that I can't pronounce or know what it is?

That just creates extra work for our body system that can result in infection, inflammation and possibly worse.

A little bit better of a breakdown is that this deodorant can actually help aid in cleansing the lymphatic system.  Double win!

Here's how the essential oils in this deodorant do more than keep you dry and smell free.

Lemon EO: Helps support the body functions of the circulatory and digestive systems.

Rosemary EO: Helps support the body's immunity response and blood components.

Clove EO: Helps support the body function for the digestive system, immunity response and circulatory system.

Peppermint EO:  Helps support the body functions of the circulatory and digestive systems.

Eucalyptus EO:  Helps support the body function of the circulatory system.

White Fir EO:  Helps support the body's immunity response.

Lemon, Peppermint and Eucalyptus are also good for the body's whole health organ, your skin.

For me the choice is obvious and a Busy Woman win.

I don't have to wear a face guard around my kid and I can rest assured that I am helping my family stay healthy and help keep the medical bills down.

Who doesn't like saving money?

I'll be back soon!

National Coffee Day!!

Something you should know about me, I LOVE my coffee. It gets me going every morning and gives me a pick-me-up when I really need a push to get through the day and I seriously don't function well without it.  So much so, it's kind of become a running joke with my family and friends. In fact,  my best friend, Miss Courtney , would greet me at the door in silence with a cup of coffee if I'd been up late the night before. She gets me. I'm drinking some now as I type this. When I started Intermittent Fasting, I was relieved to find that I didn't have to give up my coffee. I just had to switch to unsweetened and black, which wasn't too big of a deal, because I had completed a sugar detox a couple years before discovering IF. Through the detox, I became somewhat taste-sensitive to sugar where, depending on the food item, a little was almost too much for me anymore. As a result, my coffee was mainly just a little bit of cream anyway. It makes

Cough Tea

It’s that time of year.  The time that, to me, is worse than spring. The time that brings the fall cough!  You know the one. The one that never really goes away and you’ve had so long you’re not sure when it first appeared. It’s the same one that you don’t want to go to the doctor for because you’re positive it’s just something that has blown about with the change of seasons.  I like to call it the “allergy faker.”  Like Carly with her constant sinus fight, I have the constant cough fight. And although I always win, the shorter I have to deal with it the better.   I also have to think about the fact that I have a child and he and his friends are in and out constantly, and I’d really prefer they not share anything with me. Lord knows no parent wants to start that viscous circle of sick.  So, that’s where my favorite cough-away recipe comes in. It’s delicious, aids sleep and it’s for adults only!  Wellness Tea  and Whiskey, two new best friends.   Th

Social Media Lies

No, contrary to what you see on social media, my life isn't all fun times with the kiddo and date nights with the husband. I don't wear makeup and heels just to be around the house, although I am sure my husband wouldn't mind if I did.  I also don't plan every waking moment that my child is awake and not in school to be filled with outings to Chuck E. Cheese, ice skating or concerts.  Now, I know my child would be happy if I did, but that is just not realistic.                           I love sharing photos with friends and family and I want them to look nice.  I really am not sure why though.  I will totally and happily show up to your house in my most comfortable pair of sweatpants, ratty sweatshirt, no makeup and hair doing something, looking like Tom Hanks in the middle of Castaway, and I won't have a second thought about it.   And I am not alone in this dilemma of social media etiquette.  If that's what you want to call it.  I have scrolled thro
