Picking The Best Diffuser

~Doterra Essential Oils
  Available Here~ 

Diffusers  are so nice to have when using Essential Oils. You put a few drops of your favorite Essential Oils inside and let it do all the work. They are great for cleaning the air, if anyone is sick, if you want your house to smell good, or if you want to promote health, happiness, or well being. They are so nice to have in each room especially when kids are sick.

By enabling a complete combination of natural water and botanic essential oil through the effect of supersonic wave, these products breaks up essential oil into extremely fine micro-particles and releases the active ingredients within, bringing about the natural pharmaceutical effect of aromatherapy by way of human respiratory tract and realizing excellent functionality of enhancing health calming and soothing anxiety and beautifying and moisturizing skin.
Diffusers are best used with DoTERRA Essential Oils because they are the the only Essential Oils that are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade which means they are the purest on the market and you should only use the purest.

Here are my favorite diffusers and their descriptions.


Whisper premium diffuser

This is truly a worry-free product!

Product Description:

The Whisper premium diffuser is a state-of-the-art system that uses water and ultrasonic vibration (2.5 million vibrations per second) to break essential oils into tiny microparticles, dispersing the oil in a fine mist. 
These tiny particles are more easily absorbed by the lungs for a greater therapeutic effect on the body, mind, and spirit.
The Whisper diffuser uses a revolutionary, patented technology that makes it possible to diffuse even the thickest essential oils (such as Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang) that won't work in many other diffusers.

The oil never touches the moving parts, so you never need to worry about your diffuser clogging or parts gumming up. Its flexible liner increases the life of the diffuser by preventing contact of the oils and the ultrasonic vibrating disc. 
The cup is designed for continuous contact with oils, withstanding corrosion from even your strongest oils like lemon and cinnamon.
This diffuser uses no heat, which is important because too much heat can chemically alter essential oils and lessen their therapeutic benefits.
You'll be amazed at how quiet this diffuser is! Even sitting right next to it, all you will hear is the occasional soft sound of moving water.
Unlike many other diffusers, the Whisper diffuser has no fragile glass parts to break or refill pads to purchase. 
Cleanup is a breeze! Just wipe the plastic oil cup clean or replace it when it gets dirty. (The diffuser comes with a supply of 6 oil cups; additional cups are sold separately.)

The Whisper diffuser is wonderful at conserving your expensive oils. Just 2-6 drops of oil can fill a large room with aromatic goodness for hours! The innovative two-way timer lets you continuously scent your environment, or set an intermittent cycle (such as 15 seconds on, 30 seconds off) to make your oils last for as long as 9 hours.
The diffuser has soft blue night-lights that can be turned on or off. 
Oil cup is made from highest grade PET-1 plastic, and is BPA-free.
An automatic shut-off feature activates when the water in the base reaches the minimum level, preventing damage to the internal mechanisms. 

This diffuser is the most positively reviewed diffuser by customers! It is easy to use, simple to clean, very quiet, conserves oils, can run up to 9 hours, has inexpensive replacement parts, and lasts a long time.
Size: 8" tall x 3½" wide x 3½" deep.

What is included? 
This item includes 1 diffuser, 1 timer, 5 replacement cups, and instructions. Also comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
Note: The first time you use your new Whisper diffuser, fill the base and cup to the fill lines with tap water, set the timer to the "50m" setting, and let the diffuser run until it begins to produce a good quantity of mist. This will cleanse the mechanism of any oils left over from the manufacturing process. It may take up to 1 hour to complete this cleaning process.

My Mother-in Law makes a wonderful salve I love it so much I use it everyday. I love using it on my face, neck, hands, feet, legs all over my body! It is so great completely natural absolutely no chemicals, and has DoTERRA Essential Oils for healing the skin any place on the body. I got this from her blog campwander.blogspot.com

Why Everyone Should Start Taking Chlorophyll

My Mom has always told me to take Chlorophyll she is always saying how good it is for your body. I take 1 tablespoon in a glass of water in the morning and at bed time.




What Is Liquid Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is the green pigment, or blood, found in most plants. The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by Chlorophyll through photosynthesis and this chemical energy is then stored in plants as carbohydrates. Chlorophyll changes water and carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, all the while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. The plant is then able to produce the vitamins, fats, proteins and starches that it needs to absorb minerals from the earth. When animals and humans eat the plants they in turn absorb these vitamins and minerals and the energy from the sun has become a part of the food chain.

Green Blood

Chlorophyll is sometimes called green blood. This is because of its similarity in make-up to human blood and its high oxygen content. The chlorophyll molecule bears a striking resemblance to hemoglobin the red pigment in our blood. A single chlorophyll atom of magnesium is surrounded by a web of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The red blood pigment of hemoglobin consists of the same web of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but they surround a single atom of iron . So, to be clear, Chlorophyll has a single atom of magnesium, while hemoglobin has a single atom of iron, otherwise, they are the same..



Liquid Chlorophyll is miraculous. It has SO MANY health benefits it makes it a true wonder-food. It is great for pregnancy, nursing, great for kids. It helps to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, boosting our energy and increasing our well being almost instantly. Drinking Liquid Chlorophyll does increase the quality AND quantity of your red blood cells.


Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level and is known to help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems. Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore, increase oxygen utilization by the body. Liquid Chlorophyll also reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs. It also breaks down calcium oxalate stones for elimination, which are created by the body for the purpose of neutralizing and disposing of excess acid.

Other Liquid Chlorophyll Benefits

So in addition to helping to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, Liquid Chlorophyll, being highly alkaline, also gives the body the following benefits:
  • Anti Carcinogenic: Chlorophyll protects against a whole host of carcinogens found in fungus-laden foods such as nuts and grains, the toxins from cooked meats, and air-borne carcinogens (from pollution). It blocks the metabolism in the body of harmful chemicals known as procarcinogens that damage DNA. Studies published in the journals Carcinogenesis and Food and Chemical Toxicology clearly display that Chlorophyll inhibits carcinogenesis.
  • Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: containing high levels of the vitamins A, C and E, Liquid Chlorophyll has strong antioxidant capacity and has also been found to help reduce inflammation.
  • Chelation of Heavy Metals: Chlorophyll is one of the most important chelates in nature. It’s ability to bind to and remove toxic heavy metals such as mercury makes it an extremely powerful healer. 
  • Antiseptic: while Liquid Chlorophyll doesn’t actually have antiseptic properties of its own, it, quite remarkably, DOES have the ability to aid our body’s tissue in destroying germs. By strengthening tissue, it increases the disease resistance of cells and, at the same time, prevents the growth of bacteria!
  • Treats Bad Breath: This one is a real bonus and really works! Chlorophyll has a double-action remedy for bad breath. Firstly, as a deodoriser, it will eliminate odours in the mouth and throat, but secondly (and more importantly) it promotes a healthy digestive tract – which is the primary reason for bad breath. 
  • Rapid Delivery of Magnesium: this has a highly alkalizing effect on the body and helps to deliver much needed oxygen to cells and tissues.
  • Contains vitamin K, C, folic acid, iron, calcium, protein: which are all also essential in building and repairing red blood cells and boosting our immune system.

Cinnamon for weight loss and Type 2 Diabetes

I have read that Cinnamon is really good for loosing weight, speeding up your metabolism, leveling your blood sugar, and helps get rid of fat. So I have been trying it for 6 days now. I have been putting 2 drops of DoTERRA's Cinnamon Oil in my mouth 2 times a day with food. Along with my diet,  exercise, vitamins, and Slim and Sassy Shake I have lost 9 lbs. I haven't been starving myself either. Ive been watching what I eat but its easy because when I take the Cinnamon I lose any cravings for sweets which is my main problem because I love my baked goods. I am amazed how much weight I have lost in such a short amount of time. Its a little spicy but it has a sweet taste to it so I think its really good! 

Here is a little information you can read about Cinnamon.

Weight loss advantages

Through effects of slowing food glucose absorption, and enhancing the body’s ability to use glucose in metabolically active cells via direction of insulin, rather than store it away as fat, Cinnamon improves body composition. The body accumulates less fat as a result of ideally-regulated blood sugar concentrations. 
Cinnamon can improve glucose use and blood concentrations, which are known to favorably influence body fat levels (causing body fat levels to decrease – which is much of the premise of lower carbohydrate and lower glycemic index diets).

Blood sugar regulation benefitsMore recently, scientists have shown benefits of Cinnamon for preventing and treating blood sugar abnormalities that lead to Metabolic Syndrome and diabetes. Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that highly predispose a person to more chronic diseases, and include insulin resistance, elevated glucose, dyslipidemia, inflammation, decreased antioxidant activity, obesity and increased glycation of body proteins.
In several different cell, animal and human whole body studies, Cinnamon has been shown to improve these variables. It also has been shown to improve fasting blood glucose levels, lean body mass, blood pressure and gastric (stomach) emptying in people with and without type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. There are several ways it can potentially modify one’s risk factors for this disease.  Some of the mechanisms include:

•    Delayed stomach emptying which can reduce the rate of absorption of glucose from food and prevent increases in blood triglycerides (excess  blood glucose is converted to fats within the liver)

•    Flavanoid-supressed glucose absorption – the compounds in cinnamon can reduce food sugar uptake intrinsically (to an extent; it won’t work if you take in excessive amounts of sugar)

•    Polyphenols in Cinnamon can mimic the effects of insulin on cellular blood glucose uptake through a number of different pathways

A few other thing Cinnamon is really good for
•    Reduces mold growth in bread products (is a fungicide)
•    Can increase resistance to and help fight the common       cold by battling congestion and inducing perspiration
•    Reduces body temperature due to fever
•    Alleviates mental stress
•    Improves memory and attention
•    Relieves joint pain due to arthritis
•    Reduces headaches and migraines
•    Treats diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and flatulence
•    Bad Breath

Heartburn and Indigestion





When I was pregnant with each of my 3 kids one of my many discomforts was heartburn and indigestion. I would get it quite a bit towards the end. I still get it sometimes. I love using Doterra Essential oils for as many things possible and whenever I can because they are so safe so effective and so good for you.  So Ginger was my savior for the annoying discomfort of heartburn and indigestion and it works so fast!

The way I like to use it is 1-2 drops Ginger in a cup of hot water and 1-2 teaspoons honey its so easy and so good.  My husband and brother in-law love using Doterra's   Peppermint Essential Oil they put 1 drop or 2  in their mouth. Or they use the beadlit's  which are a lot more convenient and fun to use.

Celtic Sea Salt



My mom has always been really big into natural, healthy, simple, eating and living. One of the many things she has wanted me and my sisters to change in our diet is Salt. Regular Salt is not good for you and so many of us eat way to much of it. So she switched me over to Celtic Sea Salt which is very good for you. I get the 5 pound bag, store it in a glass jar and grind it in a coffee grinder whenever I need it. You can get it from Amazon and if you have prime you get it shipped for free! This information below is only for Celtic Sea Salt. 



In general, natural sea salt helps to balance the entire body. Some of the more pronounced benefits include the following:
  1. Regulates heartbeat and blood pressure. Even though refined salt can cause high blood pressure, natural salt with adequate water intake can help to stabilize irregular heartbeats and normalize blood pressure. In other words, if you have low blood pressure, taking Celtic sea salt can help to raise it. If you have high blood pressure, it can help to lower it.

  2. Eliminates mucus buildup. Not only does this salt help to eliminate existing mucus buildup, but it will help to prevent it. This benefit makes it very helpful for people with allergies, asthma, sinus issues, or bronchial congestion.


  3. Improves brain function. Sea salt is vital to the health of nerve cells and their ability to communicate and process information. This salt also helps to extract excess acidity and toxins from brain cells.


  4. Balances blood sugars. Celtic sea salt is especially helpful for diabetics because it helps to balance blood sugars.


  5. Alkalizes the body. Excess acidity in the body is an underlying cause of many diseases. Salt is vital to the removal of excess acid wastes from the cells. In addition, mineral rich salt will help to maintain the optimal acid-alkaline balance.


  6. Increases energy. Salt and water are the key elements for the generation of hydroelectric energy in the cells. When sodium and trace minerals are deficient in the body, fatigue will set in.


  7. Provides electrolyte balance. Natural Celtic salt will help keep the electrolyte minerals in your body balanced, releasing excess sodium and water. For problems with water retention, gradual sea salt intake can help to release excess water stored in body tissue.


  8. Builds immunity. Regular intake of natural sea salt and its highly absorptive minerals can give you a higher resistance to illness, infections, and disease. It can also help your body to heal faster after an injury or surgery.


  9. Promotes restful sleep. The abundance of trace minerals in natural sea salt will have a calming effect on the entire nervous system. In addition, the proper ratio of water and salt consumption can help to prevent the need to urinate during the night.


  10. Prevents muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are often caused by an electrolyte imbalance, especially a lack of sodium. Celtic sea salt provides these minerals in the correct proportion. Your body will take what it needs and get rid of the rest, as long as you are drinking enough water.


Trouble Sleeping? Try Essential Oils

                                                                                 
Do you ever just lay in bed so tired but you cant fall asleep because your  your brain is thinking of so many things and wont shut down and relax so you can go to sleep? This use to happen to me all the time and sometime still does but all I use is Doterra's Essential Oil Lavender .


I put a couple drops in the palm of my hand and put some under my nose, on my forehead, on my throat  and heart. You can also put it on your pillow or put it in a diffuser.   For even better results you can put it or your feet as well. 

Doing this is also great for stress, anxiety, and depression.

One of my favorite Essential Oils to use is Lavender  It smells so good and helps with so many things. My husband loves using Lavender he says it relaxes him and really helps him sleep better.  My kids love it as well, I use a diffuser in their room with a few drops of Lavender it keeps their room smelling so nice for a long time.  


If your having trouble sleeping you should give this a try it works for me! You should try it! 

You can get Doterra Essential Oils or a diffuser from my site below.
