 It is so hard to be healthy all the time! We all get sick but we don’t have to get sick for super long time! All we need to do is have our “Immune System tool kit” on hand so we are prepared to take down whatever virus heads our way! My girls are not in school yet so they don’t bring home as many germs but we all still get sick. I love natural remedies and using things that help our body fight what we have naturally! I use essential oils, supplements and elderberry syrup to help keep my family healthy! I will provide you with the syrup and gummy recipe we use for our elderberries! I will also share the probiotics I use as well during the dreaded cold and the probiotics I use everyday (when I am not sick). They are also safe for my girls to have too!

Okay well everyone has some sort of stress no matter if you are a mama, wife, single, etc. Although, I didn’t always have a good way to naturally decompress and help ease stress in my life. I am very blessed to say oils have truly helped in ALL aspects of my life. Especially being 35 weeks pregnant I want to limit or reduce my stress as much as possible in the most healthy way.

I have been using Young Living Oils for over a year now and I have come to find that the Thieves essential oil blend is one of my favorites as well as my family’s because it naturally boosts our immune systems and helps us when we are feeling icky. This oil is considered a ‘hot’ oil which means you need a carrier oil which is a fatty nut oil to help dilute the essential oil. I love and use this one but you can also use this one! I buy the Roll on bottles from Amazon or here and use them all the time because it makes applying diluted oils a breeze especially with little ones and how busy we can get!

Bear your belly all my preggo mama’s! I love to watch my little girl grow and yes that ultimately means my belly is stretching giving me those stretch marks and a poppin’ belly button at 24 weeks that sticks out no matter what I wear! On the flipside, I have to embrace the changes because God created me and this new little girl just for me to carry. Us women are capable of making miracles! Especially grateful that I have the ability to carry a child when there are so many women have fertility issues. So the stretch marks just come with the territory of making miracles. However, I have a cream that helps the uncomfortable stretching skin and helps to reduce the visibility of stretch marks!

Yes everyone can love their first trimester of pregnancy! In all different ways. I am not saying my way works for everyone! I am simply sharing what worked for me and hopefully can help others! I grew to LOVE my first 14 weeks of pregnancy because I prayed and looked to God but also used my heaven sent oils! My first pregnancy I was graced with no idea what morning sickness was! I felt great and just over the moon about being pregnant. This second pregnancy even with my excitement I came down with the so-called ‘dreaded’ morning sickness.

Essential oils are a topic that are widely talked about in health circles but also looked upon as a hippy trend or fad. I had no prior knowledge on essential oils other than you can use them for unscented natural laundry. I went to a health food store and bought Eucalyptus, Lavender and Tea Tree. My goal for my family is to reduce the amount of toxins in our household.
