Men only hear the word Sensual

I find it very funny that when I mention to a couple that I use and sell Young Living Essential Oils, the husband's eyes get big, he starts giving his wife romantic looks and a bright smile comes across his face.

The first time I mentioned to Jason that I wanted to incorporate therapeutic grade essential oils into our family's daily life, he ask. "do they make one for naked time?"

I swear, men only hear the word SENSUAL, sorry lover boys, the word is ESSENTIAL!

When Jason first asked me this question, I rolled my eyes and didn't answer him. Young Living does have sexy time oils, but who knows what will unleash in our household if he gets his hands on those bottles.   Now don't get me wrong, I love my husband and I love naked time (now you know our code word).  But a girl has to keep her man guessing and save the extra ammunition in the arsenal until she is ready for him to jump in her fox hole?

Here are some of the oils Young Living has to benefit your romantic time, which in turn helps your intimacy grow as a loving couple.  I'm so glad I'm married to a wonderful man and that God invented sex?

Sensation  
The name of this oil blend, should give you a hint of its purpose. Sensation is a blend of Rosewood, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine.  The aroma of this blend is uplifting, arousing, and creates feelings of excitement & romance.  You can use it in massage, a shower gel, make bath salts, diffuse in the air or wear as a cologne or perfume.  Along with it's sexy time benefits, Sensation is also nourishing to the skin.  It can help support hydration and assist with skin problems. 


Shutran
This quote comes from Young Living's member news, so if you thought Shutran was amazing before, now its been improved."Our Shutran™ essential oil blend is now better than ever! We’re excited to announce a new and improved formula, featuring Black Spruce essential oil from our Northern Lights Farm. We’ve also added more Idaho Blue Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Lavender essential oils for a more potent and appealing blend. Add it to your next order today!"

This blend was created to be worn as a cologne to help inspire attitudes of masculinity and build confidence.  It also helps with feelings of calmness.  The single oils contained in this blend are Idaho Blue Spruce (helps with feelings of grounding and balance), Ocotea (high level of sesquiterpenses to support balance of the endocrine system), Hinoki (provides a calming affect), Ylang Ylang (calming aroma, with sexy time energy), coriander, Davana, Cedarwood, Lemon and Lavender.

Lady Sclareol and Jasmine

Lady Sclareol ~ was formulated to have an alluring scent of oils that create a seductive environment. This oil is also beneficial for the skin.  The blend contains the following oils: Rosewood (relaxing to the mind, creates feelings of peace and gentleness), Vetiver (I use this oil to help me relax before bedtime.  Geranium (helps with hormonal balance and discharges toxins from the liver), Orange (brings peace, happiness and joy to the heart) and Clary Sage (benefits for regulating cells and hormonal balance for women). Clary Sage is a single oil blend that can be beneficial 


Jasmine ~ Whenever I hear the word Jasmine, I think of Princess Jasmine from the movie Aladdin.  So lets dive in and see how this oil can create "A Whole New World" for you.  :)  Jasmine is a single oil and comes from the olive family.  Historically, In India, it is known as : queen of the night" and "moonlight of the grove."  Like most of Young Living's Essential oils, Jasmine has multiple uses.  It could provide feelings of confidence, energy, euphoria and optimism which help for a happy afternoon delight. On a sexy note ~ when used as a perfume or cologne it increases feelings of attractiveness.

Some other Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils to Consider

  • Goldenrod - The name alone, just makes my inner middle school mind think of all sorts of jokes.
  • SclarEssence
  • Lavender - great to diffuse to create a relaxing environment
  • Ylang Ylang
  • And several others 

Again, Young Living's essential Oils and Oil Blends have more than one benefit, but others to investigate for happy couple moments are listed above.  Please remember, I am talking about Young Living's Therapeutic grade Essential Oils which are pure and non adulterated.  Essential Oils bought at local stores may say 100% essential oil, but are not therapeutic grade.  Also I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose you.  I'm here to share the benefits Young Living Oils have had on me and my family.  Do your own research.


Also Ladies and Gentlemen, do not put these oils on your man parts or lady parts, that's gonna burn.  Just remember if oils shouldn't go inside your eyes, nose or ear canal, then they shouldn't go in other bodily openings.

Happy Snuggle Time!

Some Ideas on how to use the Starter Kit Oils


5 Gallon Bucket of Laundry Detergent

PHEW.....I just finished making my own laundry detergent and I think I have enough to last me a year, maybe longer.  Again, this recipe came from "The Chemical Free Home" by, Melissa M. Popping.  If you are interested in getting this booklet, I'll be giving one away in the near future as a raffle prize.

What you will need: medium size saucepan, long spoon, measuring cups and a 5 gallon bucket with cover

Ingredients
4 Cups Hot Tap Water
1 Cup Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Borax
2 Cups Baking Soda
1 Bar Grated Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap (I used Eucalyptus)
5 Capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner
3 Tbsp Mrs. Stewarts Bluing Agent

The original recipe called for half lavender and half rose scented soap, but I figured Jason didn't want to smell like flowers.

Directions
Grate soap into small pieces and set aside. Pour 4 cups of hot tap water ino sacepan and add soap, stirring continually over low heat until soap is melted and dissolved - do not boil.

Looks like grated cheese, but don't eat it!  :)
Fill 5 gallon buck half full of hot tap water and add melted soap, washing soda, baking soda, and Borax.  

Add 5 capfuls of Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner.


Add 3 Tbsp Mrs. Stewarts Bluing Agent


Stir well until all powder is dissolved.  Fill the 5 gallon bucket to just below the top.  Stir cover and let sit overnight to thicken.  Optional: once thickened, mix with immersion blender (I did not do this).  Fill a clean and empty liquid laundry detergent bottle half full with soap and fill the rest of the way with tap water.  See why this will last FOREVER!!!


I imagine tiny Smurfs will be swimming in this all night long.

  • Non-HE Machines: 5/8 cup per load (apx 180 loads)
  • HE Machines: 1/4 cup per load (apx 640 loads)

Essential Oils Foaming Face Wash

Over the years I have tried just about every single facial regimen and nothing really works the way I would like.

This past week, I decided to take another step to help my skin and made my own foaming face wash.  I got this recipe from "The Chemical Free Home" booklet, by Melissa M. Poepping.

Faming Facial Wash

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap
1 drop Frankincense essential oil
10 drops Orange Essential Oil
1 drop Carrot seed essential oil

Directions:
In an empty foaming hand soap dispenser (3.5oz - 4 oz) combine above ingredients and fill to within 1 inch of the top with water, attach pump and gently shake before each use.

You can also add: 1 drop Rosemary, 5 Geranium, 4 Tea Tree, 1 lavender

I had to improvise a bit since I didn't have carrot seed oil.


What I used!
So for my wash I used 10 drops Orange, 2 drops Frankincense, 4 drops Tea Tree and 1 drop Lavender.  I also used the Dr. Bronner's peppermint Castile Soap.  I liked the smell and tingle it leaves after each wash.  Several scents can be found at target or online.

This is why I love Young Living Essential oils, each oil has a variety of uses that I can replace ingredients when needed.  So far after a week of use, my skin feels so soft and clean.

HAPPY CLEANSING!
