Since I’m trapped inside while Hurricane Irma passes us by, I thought this is a great time to clean my makeup brushes! Never thought of cleaning your makeup brushes before? Consider these reasons why you should:

Bacteria, dirt and dust buildup: The bushes pick up the natural oils in your face as well as primer and foundation. This provides a moist rich environment which is a breeding ground for bacteria. And if you have a cut or nick on your face like a pimple or freshly tweezed hair? That’s bad news.
Clogged Pores: All this makeup, dirt and dust you continuously transfer to your face can clog your pores.
Breakouts: See above. Nuff said.
Bristle Health: Regular cleaning helps to keep your bristles soft. If you don’t clean your brushes they become stiff and lose their form which can cause redness and skin irritation.
Uneven Application: Brushes with multiple color and texture residue can make perfecting that “look” a bit of a challenge. Colors mix and streak and become impossible to blend well. All this adds time and frustration to your routine.

Furthermore, commercial cleaners contain toxins or alcohol which may break down animal hairs, putting your brush investment at risk! And don’t share you makeup tools with anyone – friends don’t let friends get pinkeye.

Don’t have any high quality brushes? Try Savvy Minerals Makeup Brush Set! It includes five essential makeup application brushes, plus a stylish and convenient carrying case. Each soft makeup application brush is made from high-quality synthetic fibers that are designed to hold the optimal amount of product and provide easy makeup application and a luxurious feel.

Flex Oils

Young Living’s essential oils are pure and natural and must rely on Mother Nature for proper growth. Therefore, there may be times when growth is slow or otherwise affected by the cycles of nature. In those rare cases, Young Living may substitute one of the temporarily unavailable oils in the Premium Starter Kit with one of these 5 “flex oils”.

These 5 “fan favorite” oils have been carefully chosen by Young Living and will be sure to become an invaluable part of your collection. In fact, if you are looking for the “next 5” to invest in, this is it!

I made this yesterday. I’ve never made applesauce so I didn’t know how easy it was. Peel apples, cut, add essential oils, simmer 30 min. Mash. Mmmmmmm.

Here’s the recipe from Young Living. I didn’t know how it was going to turn out so I made half a batch. 2 lbs of apples is approximately 6 apples. I then added 2 drops of lemon eo and one drop of cinnamon bark eo. And yes, one drop of cinnamon bark flavors this entire bowl! Always start with a small amount of cinnamon bark and it is a very potent flavor. As a matter of fact, if you are making a half batch I would maybe dip a toothpick in the cinnamon bark and drag it through the applesauce and then taste test. You can always add more.

I opted to mash instead of puree because I like my applesauce chunky. You want some, admit it. There’s no shame in that. The drooling is a little bit embarrassing though – pull yourself together and make your own!

How cool is this. Mayim Bialik is a wonderful role model for all women – not just Jewish women, or women in science, or women who try to live a natural life, or all of those who also happen to be mothers. Here’s a excerpt from her biography posted on MayimBialik.net

Bialik earned a BS from UCLA in 2000 in Neuroscience and Hebrew & Jewish Studies, and went on to the Ph.D. program in Neuroscience, also at UCLA. She completed her doctorate in the Fall of 2007, which examined the role of oxytocin and vasopressin in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in adolescents with Prader-Willi syndrome. Bialik was a dedicated student leader at UCLA Hillel, leading and starting a Women’s Rosh Chodesh group, chanting and blowing shofar for High Holiday services, and conducting and writing music for UCLA’s Jewish a cappella group……Bialik proudly breastfed her sons for a combined 6 1/2 years and is a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor, offering free counseling and lactation support to any woman who is referred to her. Her book about Attachment Parenting, Beyond the Sling, was published in March 2012 (Simon and Schuster). Her second book of vegan family-friendly recipes, Mayim’s Vegan Table, was published by Da Capo Press in February 2014.

So when I came across this photo of What’s in Mayim Bialik’s purse posted on US Weekly I was so happy to see that out spilled 2 oils from Young Living. When you are Mayim Bialik you need a little bit of Peace and Calming and Lavender.

I admire her so much that whatever reservations I had about aligning myself with Young Living have disappeared. And I know that If I ever get to meet Mayim that we’d be best buds, but until then, we’ll have to share our love for Young Living essential oils from afar 😀

Just got a very exciting delivery – my Essential Rewards order!

My ER ship date is the 8th. Over the course of the month I’ll add and subtract from my ER order “wish list” until the shipment date comes around. It’s a great way to keep a running list of what you’d like to try.
