Hello and thank you for taking a moment to read my blog! I am enjoy writing about the things that I am passionate about, which means all six of my children, my puppy, baby wearing AND Young Living.

As a continual learner of all ways that Young Living is beneficial to my family and I, I am far from an expert. What I do know is what has helped my family (four and two legged). This is one of the reasons why I have enjoyed being a member of the Making Waves / Vets and Pets team. Not only am I privileged to learn from three veterinarians and a CCA, but they are always available to me when I have a question. 

What team has all of this? Well ours does of course!! Why not join now and let us guide you to a successful essential oil journey. Sharing IS Caring.

Everything you need to know about iodine

Iodine is a necessary mineral that your body can’t produce itself. It must be consumed from an outside source through food or an iodine supplement. The USDA recommends that most adults consume 150 micrograms of iodine per day, and pregnant and nursing women should consume about twice that much.

An iodine deficiency is not something to take lightly. If you’re not getting enough, it can pose a risk to your health. Pregnant women need to be especially proactive about meeting their daily requirement. Just a few decades ago, so many Americans were iodine deficient that as part of a public health initiative, many U.S. salt companies began adding iodine to their salt. When you go to the supermarket today, most salt packaging says: This salt contains iodine, a necessary nutrient. With the new trend of low-sodium diets, however, many people are saying no to salt and are looking for other options to meet their daily iodine quota.

The best food source for iodine is seaweed. Yes, that green aquatic plant that makes you cringe when it brushes against you while swimming but tastes fantastic when wrapped around a ball of rice and fish. This food source blows all others out of the water (pun intended), with well more than 100 percent of your daily need in just 1/8 of an ounce. But sushi and seaweed paper aren’t for everyone. Many people find its fishy taste overwhelming and even downright off-putting.

So what do you do if seaweed makes you queasy? You could try turning to other foods. Runners-up are animal-based foods like codfish and yogurt. But you’d have to consume much larger quantities of these to get enough each day, nearly 45 times more codfish (3 ounces) and 51 times more yogurt (8 ounces) than seaweed.

Young Living - NingXia NitroDon’t panic! We know these numbers are discouraging. Fortunately, there’s another option that takes seaweed and measuring cups of out the equation: Young Living’s NingXia Nitro®! Just one small tube contains 75 mcg of pure iodine, that’s 50 percent of the recommended daily value for an adult. With NingXia Nitro, you don’t have to worry about using food scales or consuming fishy aquatic plants and animal products. It’s as easy as grabbing and squeezing! You’ll also enjoy the benefits of pure essential oils, botanical extracts, D-ribose, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract, not to mention a great wolfberry taste! Find out more about this YL favorite on the NingXia Nitro product page.

Giveaway:

To help your body get some iodine love, we’re giving away a box of NingXia Nitro (valued at $50.99 each) to five randomly selected people. Just comment on this post for your opportunity to win! Maybe let us know how NingXia Nitro makes life easier for you!

6 relationship goals to help build relationships

February is the month we celebrate love in all its forms, so it’s a great time to focus on how we can better care for our relationships with others. After all, healthy relationships are an important part of a happy life and healthy emotional well-being.

To get some expert relationship advice, we talked to Ava Hanson, a licensed marriage and family therapist. Whether you’re curious how to make friends or how to deepen your relationship with your significant other, her six suggestions can help you find and develop genuine connections from start to finish. And since we find benefits of essential oils in every aspect of life, we’ve also included some of our favorite oils to help you create an environment that fosters love and harmony.

6 ways to cultivate genuine relationships

ava-hanson

Ava Hanson

We are born with the basic need for love and belonging, and it is in our nature to long for connection. Human relationships are the most emotionally rewarding and risky things that we do. Relationships have an evolutionary function, as people with more social support are able to live longer and healthier lives.¹

On the flip side, loss of an important relationship can be one of the most distressing things a person can go through. It can feel like a double bind knowing that we absolutely need other people and that other people may hurt us. So what can we do? We can cultivate genuine relationships. Here are six ways to do that:

1.    Be open to initiating and receiving the seeds of new relationships: Usually, a new relationship starts with seeing someone or being introduced and simply talking to him or her. It may start with small talk about the location, the occasion, or the weather and gradually move to conversations of more substance. The better you are at initiating or being open to receiving new relationships, the more chances you have for increased social support.

2.    Grow the relationship: Someone can go from a stranger to a friend if you discover you have things in common, find something about him or her attractive or interesting, or enjoy your time together. Getting to know someone and feeling known by someone is a satisfying experience because it can fulfill our deep-rooted need for love and belonging. Be patient: Growing an authentic relationship can take time.

3.    Eliminate any pests or unsafe relationships: Determine the right balance between safety and support. The closer the relationship, the more potential support. The danger with close relationships is that they may lack boundaries and put you at risk for being hurt and mistreated. Just because you have been in a relationship with someone for a long time does not mean that it is a safe relationship. Recognize red flags that are putting you at risk and be responsive to your feelings.

4.    Invest in your relationships proportional to their priority level: Not all relationships are equal. Closer relationships require more time, care, and investment. Evaluate if the caretaking that you are putting into your relationships is proportional to the priority level they have in your life. Don’t neglect your most dear relationships simply because you are used to them being there.

5.    Weather the storms: When people’s relationships have been through adversity, it is easy to hold on to the pain and trauma. It is easy to blame, especially when things feel out of your control. Take accountability if you had any part in making things worse and try to repair any relational damage. Just like trees being strengthened by strong winds, learning to repair relational pain and release any residual resentment brings strength and depth to relationships.

6.    Appreciate and enjoy the beauty in your relationships: Healthy relationships have five positive interactions to every one negative interaction.² Sometimes there are many positive things happening in your relationships that go unappreciated. Notice the beautiful and thoughtful things that those closest to you do to love and serve you. Find ways to admire their beautiful qualities and thank them out loud.

About Ava: Ava Hanson is a licensed marriage and family therapist in northern Utah who specializes in relational therapy and trauma recovery. She is passionate about helping people identify their strengths and using recreation as a means for recovery. When she is not at work, you can find her spending time with her family, playing pickleball, meditating, hiking, or making art.

Einkorn Pancakes

image

The wonderful smell of pancakes in the morning with all of the other breakfast fixins that you enjoy, it's enough to make your mouth water and your tummy growl.  Did you know that Young Living has just what you need, it's called Einkorn pancake and waffle mix.  

What is Einkorn?

Known as one of the oldest varieties of wheat, einkorn’s natural genetic code and low gluten levels make it more compatible with the human body than modern, hybridized wheat. What does that mean? It means that einkorn grain is easier to digest, making nutrients better absorbed by the body. And speaking of nutrients, many vitamins and minerals are also more abundant in einkorn grain than in modern wheat, making it a must-have for your pantry. 

Ready to try it?  Contact me and I will be happy to help you.

Cheesy Sweet Potato Bites

Cheesy Sweet Potato Bites

Ingredients

1½ tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing Black Pepper Vitality™ 2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled 1 teaspoon salt 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (optional) 2 avocados 2 drops Lemon Vitality™ 1 drop Lime Vitality™ 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice ¼ teaspoon chili powder 1 clove garlic, minced 1–2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 425⁰ F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and lightly coat with olive oil. Dip a toothpick into Black Pepper Vitality essential oil and swirl the toothpick in 1½ tablespoons olive oil. Continue blending essential oil and olive oil until you’ve reached your desired flavor. Scrub sweet potatoes until clean and cut into ½-inch slices. Arrange in a single layer on greased baking sheets, then brush sweet potato tops with olive oil mixture. Sprinkle slices with salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown underneath. If you’re not using mozzarella, flip slices and roast for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through. If you are using mozzarella, remove sweet potatoes from the oven at 8 minutes, top with a mozzarella slice, return to oven, and bake for remaining 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove baking sheets from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, use a fork to mash together avocados, Lemon Vitality, Lime Vitality, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic. Top slices with a dollop of avocado mixture and garnish with chopped tomatoes and cilantro. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
