Does it work? DigestZen essential oil blend.

Tummy troubles? Want something that works, that is safe, and natural? Here is my review of doTerra DigestZen digestive essential oil blend.


First off, I have had kinda sorta of an upset stomach for the last day and a half. Every time I eat it makes me feel gross. So of course once my DigestZen blend from doTerra came in I wanted to give it a try right away.

doTerra says that you can rub some on your stomach, or you can ingest it. I decided the quickest way to get relief would be to ingest it. I'm not sure if this is accurate because I haven't tried the other method yet, non the less, ingestion is the way I went. I got a small cup of water (about 3 oz) and put 1-2 drops of DigestZen into it, then drank it. Right away I realized it had some sort of licorice tasting essential oil in it. After further investigation I realized it has tarragon, which to me tastes like black licerious. I do NOT like black licorice! However, since I didn't have a lot to drink I just took it all in about two big gulps. According to doTerra the digestive blend has essential oils from; ginger, peppermint, tarragon, fennel, caraway, coriander, and anise.

Anyway, you are probably saying to your computer stop talking about the licorice taste and tell me already...DOES IT WORK?

After about 20-30 minuets I noticed my stomach felt better. No more upset stomach, I just simply felt...normal. I'm very happy with the results. Next time I will try rubbing it on the outside of my stomach just because of the licorice taste, however, it worked well enough that I wouldn't mind enduring the taste for the relief.

My new best friend: The lotus diffuser, and serenity essential oil blend.

My new best friend: The lotus diffuser, and serenity essential oil blend.


I just received my Lotus Diffuser from doTerra it is amazing! My son was fussing, and I couldn't figure out what he needed, then FedEx showed up with my diffuser. So I immediately put Serenity essential oil blend into the lotus diffuser and we both began to relax right away. I am not surprised that it works, however, I am shocked at how quickly it started working! After about 15 minuets he started quietly coloring in his notebook, and I got to sit down and tell you guys about how well the diffuser and serenity blend works. The lotus diffuser is different because it uses atomization technology to diffuse essential oils into the air so they can be easily absorbed by the human body. This is why it started working so quickly. Serenity oil blend is a blend of several essential oils that are known for their calming properties. It is a very pleasant, subtle aroma that is very calming. It is very pleasant because it is made entirely of essential oils, nothing synthetic, no chemicals, no gmo's, and it is all organic. The lotus diffuser also has a very nice look to it, and has pretty blue lights. I am so happy I ordered it! I was a bit hesitant because I can get a cheap diffuser that I thought worked just fine, but I decided to go ahead and give this fancy one a try and see if it really does work better. Yes, it really does work better. I can now say with experience that a good quality diffuser, and good quality essential oils do make a huge difference. I had been purchasing the cheaper oils and thought they worked fine. Now I know better though. I can get the pricier oils, and use less of them and end up saving money in the long run, and getting much better results. 

If you have essential oil questions feel free to ask, I would love to help you on your journey to finding what works for you.

Organic Garden Pest Control

Gardening is a bit tricky when you are not using any chemicals. I decided that if I was going to have a garden it must be organic. It requires quite a bit of weeding by going this way, and it also requires alternative insect control. This is how I stumbled upon food grade diatomaceous earth, otherwise knows as DE. Apparently this is the bees knees when it comes to killing bugs and the sort. It is safe enough to consume yourself, and you can put it on your animals, and even feed it to them. It gets rid of everything apparently.

Yesterday I spread it out around the garden. It is supposed to take a couple days or even a week to get rid of everything. Because it isn't a chemical it isn't going to be a instant fix. However, I will gladly wait because it is safe enough that I don't even have to wash it off of my vegetables before I eat them. This is a trade I will gladly make over the non-organic bug control. I will let you know in a few days how it is going with the bugs. I have read many reviews though, and I am pretty sure it is going to get rid of them.

Toddler vs Tomato

Toddler vs Tomato

There are many reason I love having a organic garden. However, today I am so thankful that I did not have to worry a bit when my son was standing beside me today while I picked a freshly ripen tomato from the vine, then proceeded to grab said tomato and eat it. There was no need to take it away from him to wash it, I didn't have to be concerned about what or when I just sprayed or sprinkled anything on the garden. He got to enjoy his very fresh tomato and I got to be happy about it.

By the way, he hasn't ever actually liked tomatoes before. I usually provide him some on his plate when we are eating them, but he hasn't been a big fan until tonight when he ate the whole thing in the garden!

Last week he did this with a cucumber, fresh from the garden and has been eating cucumbers since. I guess he just needed to see where they come from. I am so happy my 14 month old is enjoying these fresh vegetables.

Pickles!

Pickles...

As you probably know I have a very large, organic garden. This garden has several cucumber plants. Which means I have a BUNCH of cucumbers! My solution this issue? Pickles! So far I have only made refrigator pickles. However, they are freaking awesome! I got to use up quite a few cucumbers, spend a couple hours with my mom, and as a reward we have sweet, delicious pickles. Here is the recipe I'm using incase you would like to make your own.

Refrigerator Pickles 

Ingredients:

1 cup distilled white vinegar 

1 tablespoon salt 

2 cups white sugar 

6 cups sliced cucumbers 

1 cup sliced onions 

1 cup sliced green bell peppers 

Directions:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil. Boil until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.

Place the cucumbers, onions and green bell peppers in a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Transfer to sterile containers and store in the refrigerator.

Mine didn't have the bell peppers in them. I didn't have very many bell peppers ready yet, so I saved them to just eat on their own. 

Let me know if you try out this recipe!
