Business Docs/Oily Life

How to promote your event ✨

Text/message those who you think would be interested and add them to the FB event or send them the zoom link. Keep it personal and let them know why you think they would benefit from the class.

Post a pic on your personal wall with YOU (not a graphic) in it describing how oils have changed your life and ask who wants an invite. Post zoom link in comments for easy reference and right before the class comment on the pic.

Insta stories create so much engagement! Post the graphic but most importantly SHOW YOUR FACE! Hop on your stories and be like “yo tonight we are educating on this, come, all are welcome, etc. This is how such and such has changed my life and I want it to change yours.”

Send an email to your downlines right from your Virtual Office letting them know the details of your event.

If you are including a giveaway, post about that too! Might catch someones eye.

Keep a list of the definites and text them to remind them prior to the event. For example, for a zoom I usually text them the link 30 minutes prior to the class start time so it is top of their mind.

The Little Oilers Kit

This bundle is geared towards babies and kids!

It comes with a Feather the Owl diffuser, which also has a nightlight and sound machine. Includes a set of 5ml bottles of Sleepyize, Owie, Geneyus, Sniffleease, and Tummygize and two roller fitments to pop on any oil you want for easy application!

// GENEYUS // Let’s call this one focus in a bottle. This oil is a game changer for anyone that has trouble focusing on one task! This is a great one to roller on the back of the neck (brain stem) before school work! Throw a few rolls on a leather bracelet or necklace, apply a bit to wrists when you really need to concentrate.

// SNIFFLEEASE // Looove this on little chests and backs! Full of powerful oils like Eucalyptus blue, Palo santo, Lavender, Dorado azul, Ravintsara, Myrtle, Eucalyptus globulus, Marjoram, Pine, Eucalyptus citriodora, Cypress, eucalyptus radiata, Black spruce and Peppermint oils, this is so so needed during the fall and winter to make little lungs happy! Remember how we talk about how much we LOVE those tree oils? YUP. Full of ’em!

// TUMMYGIZE //Leave this one out where the kids can grab it whenever they need it. It’s so beautiful to teach them to be in tune with their bodies needs! A swipe on the belly will help pretty much any issue feel better! A blend of Spearmint, Peppermint, Tangerine, Fennel, Anise, Ginger, and Cardamom, TummyGize is the perfect relaxing blend for massaging onto little tummies.

// SLEEPYIZE // This relaxing bedtime (or anytime!) blend is so beloved for all ages! SleepyIze contains a beautiful combination of Lavender, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Tangerine, Bergamot, and Sacred Frankincense, as well as sleepytime favorites Valerian and Rue! I cannot tell you how much we adore this blend in our little ones’ diffusers at night, and rolled on to undersides of their big toes and down the spine. Perfect for nighttime bonding and snuggles, you are going to LOVE it!!

// OWIE // For allllll the boo-boos!!!! Another one to leave out where the kids can easily grab it when needed! It’s formulated with Tea Tree, Elemi, and other oils which are gentle and perfect for the skin, so keep this one handy for application whenever your little one needs some extra love and care.

// KIDPOWER // Free until Sept 30th! Bravery in a bottle for the littles! This NEW oil reminds me of Valor with a hint of an orange creamsicle. Roll on wrists or spine, or take a big inhale, when you’re going into a new situation and need some courage.

Grateful for my Job.

0DBBA144-5AB1-4F73-88E5-1AC0B082F466

I just need to take a minute and say how thankful I am for this business. I decided to not go back to my full time, secure 9-5 job – where every day was the same and I was clearly unhappy – to pursue this dream job called Young Living. It is hard to even say that it is a job because to me it doesn’t feel like it at all. Getting paid to help people better their lives is just something else. Truly my calling I am so serious. I was SO nervous about not going back to that secure position but I wanted to stay home with my son and watch him grow into the little cutie that he is. It was a crazy transition and I worked my ass off but I made the right decision.

Here I am sitting here on vacation working here and there because the flexible hours are a BLESSING. Truly. I mean it is not easy building this business, it is hard work and you have to hustle for sure but IT IS POSSIBLE. Here I am doing it and I am just your average human. There’s ups and downs and highs and lows but this community and business is SO worth it.

The Starter Kit + Emotions

We use the kit to help balance and support our emotions. I can’t tell you how much this has changed my life. When I grabbed the kit I knew that there were endless benefits for your skin, hair and health but I had no idea how greatly this would help balance my anxiety and overall mental health. 

Valor. I am starting with this oil because I will never be without this (and now my CBD calm roller). I call this oil liquid Xanax because I lean for this when I am feeling overwhelmed, mind race, and panic. The whole nine. I have a roller top on this guy so I will apply to my neck, wrists and bridge of nose. I also drop 2-3 droplets in my hand and inhale deeply about 5 times. Diffuse for a deep sleep because Lord knows how anxiety/depression take a toll on your zzz’s.

Peace + Calming. Another dream blend. My son has taken to this oil and we reach for it whenever he is overtired, overstimulated, stuck in a carseat (smh). This is usually being diffused at my house in the evening when we are winding down. I have the premade roller with me at all times. 

Lavender. I’m sure you’ve heard that lavender promotes a deep sleep. This is very true but please do not just diffuse it. I literally drop it in my nighttime shower to wind down, I spray it on JJ’s sheets before he goes to bed, I spray it on my face because it hydrates my skin. All the things. 

Frankincense. Skin gold but also the most grounding scent you can ever smell. I inhale and apply when I am doing yoga. It brings my mind back to earth and ceases the racing. I didn’t like the smell of this at first but have grown to be obsessed with it. Many diffuse this at night for a deep sleep but I haven’t brought myself to do that yet. I savor it for topical application. Amazing for immunity too so there you go. 

Lemon, Citrus Fresh, Peppermint: All of these scents are uplifting when diffused and applied. If I am in a funk and having trouble getting out of bed in the morning (aka quarantine), I will make sure to have these in the diffuser ready to go for when I wake. Gives me an extra kick in the ass. All citrus scents are uplifting btw. 

Stress Away. Does exactly what it says. See ya later stress. This smells like a vacation in a bottle and personally I only diffuse. Loveee to diffuse when we have company over to break the ice. Everyone always comments on the scent. 

Sign me up, babe!

To All the Moms in Quarantine

dorinda

Whether you have 1 kid or 5, stay at home or work, I see you, I am you, I’m flailing as well. 

I had JJ in October and we were cooped up inside all winter while I tried to figure out how to be a mom, battle post partum anxiety, and deal with ground hogs day – every, single, day. 

I didn’t go back to my full time job but I have my own business going on where I can work from home and have a flexible schedule. Seriously blessed to be able to have this opportunity and watch my son grow but have you ever tried to WFH with an infant let alone a kid of any age? It’s impossible. So I decide to get a sitter at least 2-3 times a week while I would go to Starbucks and work. This was simply amazing. Just what I needed, I felt back to myself again. 

Then this shit happened. I think I got to enjoy ooh maybe 2 months of working outside of the home again (not even). Basically my maternity leave has been extended til further notice without any help from anyone, ever and nowhere to go except for a walk around the block – IF the weather permits which for the most part it has not. I feel that “is this my life now” feeling creeping back and it sucks. Now my husband is home working in what was once my office so it’s like a double kick because we are in each others spaces and he can’t even lend a hand because his show must go on. Most days I envy him having his own space and freedom to work. Though I love the flexibility of my job I am literally entertaining a 7 month old all day while trying to work a job that though flexible, requires a ton of communication and hard work. It’s an around the clock gig and I am trying to squeeze it into the 45 minutes naps I am getting. Legit bottle in one hand, laptop or phone in the other.

The word is draining. Some days I am fine, some days I wake up like “again?”. Many days I get to my breaking point. Then the mom guilt comes in. That’s the best. After trying to keep your shit together you lose it and you’re like damn I didn’t mean to do that. The hardest part is that there is no relief. No places to go, no people to help you out. It truly takes a village to raise children and right now us moms are working with a few lone soldiers who are freaking tired. I know we are all dealing with this in different way but I figured if anyone is on my page they might find some  solace in this piece. 

Today was rough. And it’s 3pm … Tomorrow could be better, it could very well not be. C’est la vie.

Oils + Hair

Hi guys!! Okay so my love affair with oils run deep and I use them for absolutely everything. Using them on my hair has been an absolute GAME CHANGER. My hair has never ever been this healthy. I probably say that 234 times throughout this article.

A little background, I have naturally curly hair so it’s natural state is a bit dry. I wear my hair both straight and curly on the reg so I am pretty accustomed to caring for both. 

Sit back, grab a cup of wine and enjoy the knowledge.

 

The [infamous] Mermaid Spray
 
Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus for whoever figured this recipe out. HOLY SHIT. It is the perfect combination of oils to have your hair growing thicker, shinier and FAST.
 
Great scalp health promotes hair growth. Simple as that, your hair won’t grow if you aren’t taking care of your scalp.
 
Make this and spray on your scalp morning and night, wet or dry.
 
Mermaid Spray//
20 drops of lavender + 20 drops of cedarwood + 20 rosemary + 15 clary sage + 15 peppermint + 15 thyme + witch hazel + distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray in dry or wet hair!
 
 
 
CBD Scalp Treatment + Mermaid Serum ⁣
⁣
Hair washing day? If you’re like me and wash twice a week then do this every time you wash. If you wash everyday or every other, just do this twice a week. That’s alll ya need.⁣
⁣
⁣
CBD Scalp Treament: ⁣
One whole dropper of CBD cool mint⁣
10 drops of peppermint⁣
2 tbsp castor oil in a dropper bottle⁣
⁣
Mermaid Serum: ⁣
Full dropper of CBD
20 drops of lavender⁣
20 drops of cedarwood⁣
20 rosemary⁣
15 clary sage⁣
15 peppermint⁣
15 thyme⁣
Castor oil ⁣
[exact ingredients as the mermaid spray but instead of water and witch hazel you use castor oil since it is thicker and acts as a mask]⁣
⁣
 
⁣Mirah Lustrous Hair Oil⁣
⁣
Straight Hair: Apply when wet before you blow dry or let air dry.⁣
⁣
Curly Hair: Apply when wet and dry as needed.⁣
⁣
I used to use Moroccan oil all the time but this stuff is so much better. So what I recommend is not using this anywhere near your scalp because even I – with dry hair – cannot. It’s oil so obviously it’ll make your scalp greasy. ⁣
⁣
Dosage//⁣
⁣
Start with a quarter dropped on your ends while your hair is wet, before you blow or air dry. I use 3/4 dropper when I am wearing my hair curly and 1/4 dropper on the ends if I am blow drying it straight. In the winter when my hair gets super dry I will reapply to the ends in between washes. Feels like such a dream and keeps the end from breaking off.⁣
 
 
 
Ylang Ylang⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This oil is traditionally used in hair formulas to promote thick, shiny, lustrous hair. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Ummmmmmmm yes.
 
⑊So what I do is apply roughly 2-5 drops in my palms and rub together. I then close my palms with my hair in between from top to bottom. ⁣⁣
 
⑊ Curl refreshing spray: ylang ylang + lavender + water for in between washes! 

⑊ This oil is also known to be used to prevent hair loss so if you want to add it to your Mermaid Spray that would be a great idea! ⁣⁣
 
 
 
Dandruff⁣
⁣
Tea tree, thyme and lemongrass ⁣
⁣
What I do is put these oils into a dropper bottle and apply to my scalp before the shower orrr I’ll just drop them on my head neat. I rubbbb and scratch my scalp while these oils soak on there so I can rid the buildup and dandruff that is there just waiting to land on your shoulders mid day. Gross + for some reason embarrassing all at the same time.
 
 
Master formula. ⁣
⁣
In order for your hair to grow you need to be providing your body with the right supplements it needs to support that growth. Enter Master Formula. ⁣
⁣
There are 25 key dietary elements from Master Formula, with a minimum of 100% of the daily recommended amounts of 14 different vitamins and minerals. They call it the Master for a reason! This nutritional complex contains vitamins, minerals and food based nutrients to support overall health and well-being.⁣
⁣
Below are the vitamins needed to promote hair growth. Master Formula contains a healthy dose of each of these. ⁣
⁣
+ B-Vitamins (one of the best known vitamins for hair growth is a B-vitamin called biotin)
+ Vitamin C⁣
+ Vitamin D⁣
+ Vitamin E⁣
+ Iron⁣
+ Zinc⁣
 
 
Red Drink⁣
⁣
Stay hydrated with 25 oz of water (it’s a good start, but add more between to truly hydrate), get in your 2 oz of Ningxia red a day for an antioxidant boost and calm energy, get in your joint, nail, hair, prebiotic and detox support with a teaspoon of sulfurzyme, and a few drops of lemon + lime vitality oils to give you that extra kick in a glass. ⁣⁣

Sulfurzyme⁣
⁣
MSM is a special organic sulfur that is supportive to many things and necessary for healthy skin, hair and a healthy liver.⁣
⁣
Gives immune support, and supports the circulatory system, the gastrointestinal system and the liver.⁣
⁣
It protects cell membranes and replenishes the connections between cells, and preserves the molecular structure of the connective tissue.⁣
 
 
sea salt spray
 
x 10 lav
x 10 cedarwood
x rosemary
x splash of pink Himalayan salt
x top w water and shake it up!
what I did here was wet the bottom of my hair with cold water and spritzed it with sea salt spray. also the oils needed for the mermaid spray so that’s a win.
 
 
 
YL has three different shampoo and conditioner options depending on your hair needs- these can be mixed and matched for your preferences
 
◖ Lavender- gentle cleanses and nourishes fine hair to reduce product buildup and create maximum volume
◖ Lavender Mint – can I just pause here and say HOW GOOD this one SMELLS! This one is a great clarifying shampoo and great for all hair types
◖ Last is the Copaiba Vanilla – which provides cleansing and moisturizing for dry, damaged hair. I’ve seen this recommended often for curls / thick hair and sample sizes of this come in the Bon Voyage Kit! Fun!
 
Need more from a shampoo or conditioner ??
↪Additional oils can be added based on your hair needs – for example you can add lavender, rosemary, and Cedarwood to your conditioner instead of using mermaid growth spray.
↪ Tea tree is another great add in for clarifying and cleansing the scalp!
↪ Need a scalp detox? Try the orange blossom charcoal bar as a shampoo bar
 
 
Detangler Spray
▴ A splash of copaiba vanilla conditioner
