July Amazon Finds

With me being at home most of the time since March it has given me lots of time to browse Amazon and find some cool things.   I will be listing some items once a month here on this page.   If you click the link it will take you to my affiliate page. 


We have had a HUGE problem with house flies this year.  I found this INSIDE bug attractor that you plug into an outlet.   It does an amazing job.   Link to refill cards and bulbs below as well.

I am updating our extra room in the basement/guest room (soon to be my office) and I found inexpensive comforter set for the bed we have in there.   There is a variety of colors available. 




These are amazing for removing hard water stains.

Praying for Difficult People



Lately I have had to deal with some difficult people and it is causing a lot of stress for me.    This is going to be my prayer EVERY morning during my 21 Days of Prayer.

Dear Lord, I surrender the difficult people in my life to you.   I do not know their sufferings or situations that cause them to act they way they do.  I pray that you comfort them in their sufferings.  I pray that you make them realize that just because they are not happy doesn't mean they have to cause anguish on others around them.   I pray they will stop making excuses for their behavior and just own up to their shortcomings.   I pray that you allow me to ignore their actions so it doesn't cause stress on my life.   Help me to be the better person and show my faith through my actions.   Help me to be understanding. 

In Jesus name I pray, Amen


Please join in and praying for the difficult people in your life.    We do not know what causes them to act they way they do.

What are Essential Oils?

Many of you are probably asking what the heck these Essential Oils are that I keep talking about on Facebook and here on my blog.  

The below is taken from the Young Living Product Guide which you can view here: Young Living Product Guide

What are Essential Oils (EO)?


Young Living Essential Oils are aromatic liquids found within plants, flowers, trees, roots, and seeds.   They contain unique components that provide therapeutic results.  

Seed to Seal®

Young Living offers the purest therapeutic-grade essential oils by carefully controlling the entire Seed to Seal® process—from the time the seed is sourced until the oil is sealed in the bottle. Young Living’s dedication to quality ensures that we provide pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils with the complete, optimal blend of plant chemicals to ensure maximum potency and results. 

How are Essential Oils used?

There are three ways EOs can be used.   

Inhalation:  

 

Inhaling certain essential oils heightens the senses and can have many positive effects on
the body. Try these ideas to use essential oils for inhalation:
•  Inhale directly from the bottle.
•  Diffuse with any of Young Living’s premium diffusers.
•  Carefully pour hot water into a bowl and add a few drops of essential oil. Cover
your head and bowl in a tent-like fashion with a towel. Breathe deeply and slowly. 

Topically:

 

Many essential oils are safe to use directly on the skin:
•  Place 2–3 drops of oil in the palm of your hand or directly on the desired application
area. Massage the oil in a circular motion onto the skin. Repeat if desired.
•  Use one of Young Living’s essential oil roll-ons or add an AromaGlide fitment to the
bottle of your favorite essential oil for targeted application.
CAUTION: Essential oils are very potent and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs, apply
Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or any pure vegetable oil to the area to dilute

Internal Consumption:

 

Some essential oils make excellent dietary supplements or food flavorings. To take
essential oils internally, try these tips:
•  Place several drops into a gelatin capsule and swallow it with water.
•  Add 1–2 drops to a glass of water, NingXia Red or other natural juice, or even yogurt.
•  Add 1–2 drops (to taste) to your meals when cooking.
•  Add 1–2 drops to a teaspoon of Young Living Yacon or Blue Agave and swallow.

This is just a brief overview of EOs.  If you have any more questions you can contact me through email.
