Strep, seriously?

So a few days ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and sore throat. I thought, hmm just a cold. Well, 2 days later and I couldn’t even swallow soup. It felt like knives going down my throat and I was hit by a bus. Off to the doctors I went and was diagnosed with Strep Throat. Ugh. I have no idea where I got it because nobody around me has been sick including my two kids.

So what was my saving grace? The only thing to help tame my burning throat? Young Living Thieves cough drops. So nice on my throat and helped enough that I could actually drink some fluids.

I also have been diffusing thieves and purification like crazy to help boost everyone’s immune system. Along with that I have cleaned every surface I touched with Thieves cleaner. So nice that it’s a safe and effective cleaner around my little ones.

Lastly, I used some peppermint vitality oil and clove vitality oil in my warm tea to help “cool”my throat. It helped a lot.

Looks like I’m on the mend, and hopefully this is the last of it around here. Who gets strep in the middle of summer?! Hope this helps someone who is dealing with this as well.

ART masque review

So recently I’ve decided to try all of Young Livings skincare line. I figured I’m LOVING their makeup so why not start with a healthy face?

I ordered the ART Creme Masque, and the mint satin facial scrub. I used the scrub first to gently exfoliate and then dried my face and put a small amount of the masque on. It felt like a rich moisturizer. I left it on for 25 minutes and wiped off with a warm wet washcloth. Ahh, so soft and smooth! You can also leave on overnight for extra moisture.

So after all of this I used my ART moisturizer and wolf berry eye cream and then my savvy minerals makeup. Here’s before and after below.So how much do I like the skincare line? I don’t like it, I LOVE it! It’s also nice that I get compliments on my skin and makeup quite a bit now. That says a lot. Link to order:
