As soon as the lid comes off your bottle of essential oils, the essential oil molecules transform into a vapour state, and float through the air. As we breathe them in, they trigger receptors in the olfactory epithelium at the top of our nose, which send signals to our brain….faster than the speed of light!
What’s fascinating here is that the signals don’t go to our conscious brain. Instead, they completely bypass the conscious brain and travel to the limbic region of our brain (also known as the subconscious). In fact, our sense of smell is the only one of our 5 senses to directly access the limbic region of the brain, which is why essential oils are so valuable in the field of emotional and spiritual transformation.

Do you ever wish you could turn back the clock? If so, you are not alone. The search for the fountain of youth has travelled through the ages, and today funds our billion dollar beauty industry. Anti-aging products are the fastest growing sector of the cosmetic industry, but unfortunately they are looking in the wrong direction – to chemicals, rather than to nature.
It’s horrifying to know that some of the chemicals being used in our so-called beauty products have been scientifically proven to increase the rate of wrinkling, rather than decreasing it.
Retaining that beautiful, healthy, youthful glow to your skin is a three pronged approach. It involves nourishing your physical health so your body is radiant and not depleted; being in a state of inner joy, so that you accept and love the beautiful Soul that lives within your body; and pampering your skin with natural products and essential oils….just like Nefertiti did!

When animals are roaming outdoors, they are exposed to essential oils as they brush against flowers and leaves, dig amidst roots and leaf matter, and chew on plants. For some animals like koalas, their primary food source is aromatic plants (ie. eucalyptus leaves).
Even though most animals would have this exposure in the wild, it’s important to remember that essential oils are highly concentrated, so a good rule of thumb is to always start with small amounts and observe your animal. If they respond well, you can build up the amount used.
Discover how to introduce your animal to essential oils, what oils to choose and how many drops to use, how to transform your animal’s emotions, how to improve their health with a chemical-free home, and some essential supplements designed to keep your animal healthy year-round.

This makes so much sense! We use herbs and plants in our food preparation, and herbs are basically essential oil plus plant fiber/tissue.
So when you take some lovely fresh basil to make a beautiful pesto, the flavor from the pesto comes from the essential oil in the leaves of the basil. The “bulk” comes from the fiber of the plant. When you are cooking a beautiful curry, and you are roasting your coriander seeds, the aroma that is released is the essential oil. And when you are using orange rind in a cake, the flavor comes from the essential oil in the rind – the rest is just bulk and fluid.
Where dried herbs have lost much of their life force in the drying process, essential oils retain their life force when produced correctly. This makes them truly “vibrational” in nature, meaning they transfer a living energy to us when we use them in food preparation. Essential oils take our food to the next level!
Learn the golden rules of cooking with essential oils, and how to easily incorporate essential oils into your snacks and recipes. And let me introduce you to 12 Aromalicious essential oil snacks that will have your guests begging for more!

Mineral makeup has been the rage for several decades, because it binds to oils, not water. This gives it a natural water resistance, making it much better for your skin than conventional cosmetics. Where conventional makeup contains nasties that can irritate sensitive skin, mineral makeup is generally better for sensitive skin.
But not all mineral makeup is created equal. Mineral makeup has received bad press due to the use of 4 nasty ingredients – nanoparticles, bismuth, talc and synthetic dyes.
Savvy Minerals by Young Living is one of the best mineral makeups on the market. Instead of these nasty ingredients, it uses high quality gluten-free and cruelty-free botanicals such as Aspen Bark extract, Mica colours, Arrowroot powder, Kaolin Clay, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera, high quality minerals, and of course Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils.
Would you like to learn practical tips to help you transform your face and enhance your natural beauty? I guarantee you’ll never want to look at another brand of makeup again, after you try this!
