oils + zyto compass

my friend Beth, who i co-teach essential oils classes with, recently purchased a zyto compass. a zyto compass scans your body for negative responses and then suggests what Young Living essential oils + supplements your body requires. watch the video above for a better explanation.

i have heard testimonies of children who got over food allergies (over a long period of time...like years) by using the scanner's suggested oils.

i have also read testimonies from aromatherapists saying that the scanner is pretty accurate.

so, i got scanned on Saturday, and this was my suggested list to help improve my health: 
46 biomarkers out of range

1. YL Essential Beauty Serum (Dry) - i guess my face needs moisture, which is true, because my eyebrows are always dry.

2. Joy - this one is totally obvious to me in hindsight. i have been struggling with my 3yo daughter's temper tantrums for over a month + it makes me super grumpy all the time.

3. Eucalyptus Radiata (singles) - i have been congested lately because of all of the humidity.

4. Citrus Fresh - i think this is also for uplifting my emotions. but it also supports the immune system.

5. Thieves - i use this all the time for preventing sicknesses. i wonder if my congestion is more than what it is?



anyway, if you are curious to get yourself or your children scanned for a kind of health assessment, email me: oilandbubble (at) gmail (dot) com; or private message via Facebook: Karen Chow Hsu.

joy + whininess

so, i'm not going to lie. it has been a really hard month for my 3yo daughter + me. constant battles every day over listening + obeying, her whininess, + getting her to be kind to her 1yo brother.

finally, on Tuesday, i couldn't take it anymore. i was tired of putting her in time out. i was tired of giving her choices that she ignored.

i thought, there has to be an oil for this. turns out joy really helped. i put about 4-5 drops into the diffuser + she was a happy girl for 3 whole hours.

have you ever been in a bad mood? have your children?

have you tried joy?

lemon + crayon

a while ago, my 2-yo daughter colored on the wall with crayon. i'd read and heard from personal testimonials that lemon essential oil is the household charm. so, i took out a washcloth, wet it, + dripped 3-4 drops of lemon essential oil.

here are the results:

while it didn't take all of the blue off, it did take quite a bit off. and now that it is dry (+ aged about a year), the blue has faded and is unnoticable.

amazing, right? i was impressed.

purification + mosquito diverter

my daughter's school playground has mosquitoes. so, we mix a solution of purification + water + a dash of salt (to help the oil + water combine easier).

then, before school, we spray her legs + arms. it helps those mosquitoes not bite her skin too much!
