Sniffle, Sneeze, Wipe.. Is It The Flu or Our Daughter's Wedding Engagement? Or Both?

The sneezing, coughing and congestion is going around and our house was no exception.  After trying these protocols suggested by a friend,  I did a little research on my own and doled oils out to my family like it was Christmas giving. Speaking of joy, our daughter Abby was proposed to this past weekend - grab some popcorn and tissue and read on...

First things first -

Here are some great oil recipes that worked wonders for us and helped us to avoid highly sought after waiting room waits and subsequent expensive antibiotics.

For cough,  alleluiah!  You know the cough that nothing over the counter seems to help?  This works every time:

Now, if you're wheezing or have a fever, you might have pneumonia or some other serious medical condition.  In that case, please see your doctor.

For chest congestion, whip some of this up.  It's easy and so yummy you'll want to slather it all over your body.  Just don't slather it on the cat, your neighbor or your neighbor's cat.  That would be weird.

1.  In a saucepan, I heat the coconut oil (or almond oil) and beeswax together just until the beeswax melts.

Now easy does it here - you don't want to fire up the stove burner a full blazing! A gentle heat until the mixture is melty goodness will do. Think gentle as in purring kitten.  (If your an I-want-it-now gal like I am, you can melt the mixture right in your glass jar directly in the microwave on low.)  At a gentle purrrrrfectly low setting....

2.  Remove pan from heat (or jar from microwave) and allow the mixture to cool (about 5-8 minutes).  This keeps excessive heat from damaging the oils you're about to add.

3.  Add your DoTerra oils.  (Pour into your glass jar if needed.)  Now do a lap dance.  Just kidding. I don't know where that came from.  This recipe is super easy and you know everything that's in it.  Pretty spectacular.

Has anyone ever told you how beautiful your ears are? You can't help it if they're beautiful. Here's a goodie for keeping them healthy:

Why didn't anyone tell me about this tip before? Try it. It works for us.

Btw, you can get all of your oils at wholesale cost by purchasing an enrollment kit.  There's no commitment to ever buy or sell, and DoTerra knows once you get these oils in your hot little mitts, you'll love them.  In exchange, they're gonna give you a lifetime wholesale cost at 25% off.

Get the low down on the break down here.  If you're wondering why(?) DoTerra, watch this info here. DoTerra is a no-brainer in my genius, heavily-weighted opinion.

Now on to a feel-good, love story in honor of Valentine's Day.  Our daughter was engaged over the weekend.  I thought I would share our special moment with you.  Grab tissue, popcorn and a husband or wife if you have one.  If not, find a furry, purring cat.  Now pet that cat lovingly and watch on:

Enjoy your week.
