Why get a Premium Starter Kit?

Here she goes...time to start selling stuff! Wait!! Hold on for one second...let me explain how this will benefit YOU! There are various types of starter kits, too, so you truly get to customize to your specific needs.

Only during October 2016, order your starter kit and get a FREE Oregano Essential Oil!! Is a key ingredient in Young Living's Inner Defense, ImmuPower, and Raindrop Technique. It supports a healthy lifestyle regimen, and contains the naturally occurring constituent carvacrol. During the colder months, this is an oil I always have on hand for wellness from head to toe and to flavor my favorite dishes!

The most commonly referred to kit includes your choice of diffuser (prices range based on the diffuser selected).  This kit comes with 11 key essential oils to get you started on your path to overall wellness, and product samples to help you share your new obsession. :) 
There are also other varieties of starter kits. I was not as lucky as some and had barely heard about essential oils before finally allowing a friend to share her knowledge with me, so I had zero oils in my house. I needed the Premium Starter Kit to get me started. Now, some of you already have oils, or even a diffuser...lucky you! But, if you're still wanting to get started on your own personal journey, you can order one of these kits instead

Now...how can buying any of this benefit you? One way is to know that you are getting some of the best quality essential oils for your family at wholesale pricing. As a member, you do not need to fulfill any sales quota each month. You can simply reap the benefits of wholesale pricing! Also, our "Seed to Seal" promise comes on every product we sell! For me, that's the greatest benefit. I am trying my best to keep our home as chemical free as possible and check labels like crazy...so I love knowing where my oils come from.

I don't regret bringing oils into our home and slowly but surely my husband is starting to come around and he's calling me a hippie a lot less...so that's a plus! :)  But seriously, if something has been used for so long that it's in the Bible...it must be working, right??  Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck with your new oily lifestyle!

Instant Pot Cabbage un-roll soup!


If you were one of the lucky ones, you also bought the Instant Pot during Amazon Prime day!! #bestdayever!! My mom and I have been talking about getting one for weeks...and then it was on such a great deal, we couldn't pass it up! It arrived two days later and then stayed in the box until last weekend when my mom was here to start working on recipes with me. It's fun to cook...and it's way more fun when you have a kitchen partner!
My dad loves cabbage and eats it every year on January 1st. It's a tradition and I have tried to find other cabbage recipes that I can eat throughout the year. I love cabbage rolls, but I am too lazy to roll them...so I updated my recipe to be an un-roll. Hooray for being lazy!

We worked together to chop, dice, and mince, and had a blast. Make it fun, because it is! My mom went in for her very first mani/pedi last week, look at those pretty nails! I love that garlic press, it's been a game changer for sure.

I gathered up all the ingredients and then realized I forgot the Bragg's. I love this stuff!

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds of ground beef (or any ground meat)-browned (I like to brown mine first)
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cans of tomatoes (mine are home canned in Italian Seasoning)
  • ¾ cup of rice – not cooked
  • 1 cup of cauliflower rice – not cooked
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 2 cups of water
  • 2-3 twists of salt from the grinder
  • 1 tblsp Bragg’s Aminos
  • 3 drops of Black Pepper Vitality Essential Oil
 Directions
1.     Brown meat on the stove. While doing this, shred up your cabbage, dice the onion and mince the garlic.
2.     To make it easier, I bought the cauliflower rice already prepared from Trader Joe’s! Work smarter, not harder, right??
3.     Dump all your ingredients into your Instant Pot.
4.     Make sure your vent on top is set to steam. When you’re putting your lid on, it will sing to you if it’s done properly. (Good job!!)
5.     Push the soup button- it should now say ‘On.’ It took mine about 15 minutes to get fully pressurized and then it switched to say ’30.’ So, the soup takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from start to finish, with the bulk of that being the Instant Pot doing its work!
6.     When it said it was done, we needed to push it to the venting option.
