Who needs more energy?

Oils for motivation and energy

Could you use a motivational cheerleader each day to get you going, put some pep in your step, and help you move through your day with motivation and energy?

Mental tiredness can lead to difficulty focusing, irritability, and loss of passion. Lack of energy can be caused by a host of factors such as thyroid function and adrenal imbalance.

Mental and physical fatigue are common reasons why you may be lacking in the “Ra Ra Ra” department (hear that cheerleader??) but emotions are also large factors in finding our strength each day…to get moving inside and outside.

There are some great oils that can tackle all of this. I love to diffuse something each morning to get going and I also use a variety of oils topically throughout the day to keep me energized.

I keep the essential oil blend En-R-Gee in my bag for those afternoons when I feel a little sluggish. A quick dab on the wrists perks me up.

Breakfast ideas: Overnight Oats

by amaryllisturman

Who else likes overnight oats? They’re GREAT!!!

I am a firm believer that breakfast is not to be missed. I usually eat a couple of eggs 🍳 because it’s quick and easy but I wanted something different.


Different requires prep 😂.


  • The great thing about Overnight Oats is that it’s easy. Plus oatmeal is nutritious, full of fiber, and very filling. Healthy and delicious means it’s a win-win all the way around!
  • INGREDIENTS
      • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
      3/4 cup almond milk mixed with essential oils (drops listed below)
      1/4 cup chopped apples
      1/4 cup blueberries
      1 handful almonds, roughly chopped
  • Layer in glass jar and leave in refrigerator overnight (at least 5-7 hours). Enjoy.

    Why choose Young Living

    by amaryllisturman

    Story Time!

    About 20 years ago, I was in a store called Burlington Coat Factory and found a small bottle of patchouli essential oil.

    I read great things about patchouli and was excited to find it! I checked the packaging and the label because I wanted to be sure I was getting pure essential oil. Back then, I did not know that companies had a lot of leeway when they use terminology such as “pure“, “natural”, and “therapeutic“.


    I opened the bottle and YUCK … I thought I didn’t like patchouli!

    Fast forward to today. I realize that I didn’t like the chemically laced synthetic scent they were trying to pass off as PURE.


    I’m so grateful for Young Living’s commitment to purity and quality. They prove to me time and time again that I can trust their claims and labeling 🌿…..

    If you want a high quality essential oil, Young Living is the best option available.
