Learning to Live Holistically!

Hey Everyone!

So sure enough, my doTERRA consulting has begun! I offer one on one mentoring, parties, samples, and more. We offer 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils that are safe to use daily and even be taken internally. If you had to ask me what's helped me the most in my weight loss and Fibromyalgia journey, it's yoga and essential oils.

Don't live near me? Not a problem! I can do Skype one on one mentoring, and you can order through my website anytime you want. Thinking you know someone who could benefit from essential oils? Let me know all about them, and I can give you recommendations, or point you to peer reviewed studies that you can show them on how essential oils can be beneficial for them.

Tired of cleaning your house with chemicals? I can show you the natural way, using essential oils. I clean my house this way, and I know my house smells clean and fresh afterwards, not like bleach or other harsh chemicals.

Have allergies? Because our oils are Pure Therapeutic, you probably won't have a reaction, but I can always get you a sample if you're worried and want to try it first. Obviously if you are allergic to the plant the oil is made of, it won't work, but I may be able to find you an alternative oil that may work just as well!

Now, I know some of you are thinking "But the prices seem high!". Well, remember this, you get what you pay for! Our large bottles (majority of our oils) are 15ml and have about 250 drops. Say you use 2 drops a day, so 125 days worth. 3 bottles will last you a year. And on our more popular oils, it's well worth the price.

For example, I use Serenity nightly to help relax me and get to that wonderful state of slumber. 1 drop, on a tissue, next to my bed. Serenity retails at $40.00 a bottle (only 15 ml available). so for $80 A YEAR (less really, $80 for 500 days), I don't have to take prescription sleep aids anymore! Still think it's a bit too out of your range? doTERRA also maybe a serenity bath bar, for $9.32 retail. Wash your face, or take a shower or bath before bed and use this puppy! It's natural soap infused with the oils.

Interested in a particular oil? I'll gladly share my knowledge and do my own research to learn even more. 

Have a particular medical condition? I can let you know what has worked for most, or some of the people that I know, and give you recommendations on how to make it more manageable to live with!*

doTERRA Product Consultant

As some of you have heard me talk about, especially in the past 8 months or so, I've really had a lot of success with using essential oils as part of my yoga practice and Fibromyalgia holistic treatment. The more I use them, the more I love them, and the company itself. So, why not SELL product?

I have the time, I'm young, I get the business aspect, and I've PERSONALLY reaped the benefits of the product. Not only that, I use them daily (no joke - supplements, topical application, aroma therapy, and I even use some as cleaners!) I'm ready to get the word out and show people how you can still live holistically, and get rid of a TON of chemicals in your life. And they work just as well, if not better.

I met with my two mentors last night for dinner and a learning class. I just ordered all my product enrollment forms and signed up for a build doTERRA class which is next week, as well as post convention meeting next weekend in Anaheim. I plan on actually following leads, hosting learning sessions, and even will have samples available for anyone who wants to try some for a bit and see how it can change their life.

So do you want to learn more? If so, I'd be happy to set up a class session, or a one-on-one appointment to discuss your questions and concerns. doTERRA is 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil, so it's safe to use daily and even take internally (certain oils only).

Mine, ALL MINE

As many of you have probably heard me talk about, especially for the past 6 weeks, I have officially moved into my own apartment. ~850 square feet all to myself. Well, I do share it with Fuzzy, my 15 pound gray tabby. This has been quite an adventure, and a long time coming!

Originally, I wasn't going to move until closer to November/December, save up some more money. But since D walked out for stupid reasons (what I believe to be selfish reasons, not so much stupid, but selfish I will agree), and me wanting to move on, get on with life, return back to work after being disabled for nearly 2 months, and starting my own business (I'm hoping to start in about 3 weeks), I felt it was time. I had been watching the prices closely, and although I did sign my lease right in the middle of the price ranges, I can be comfortable and still have enough for bills and groceries. I am so enjoying being able to fend for myself, knowing I am self sufficient. Don't get me wrong, as much as I would love to be the homemaker and trophy wife, it will probably never happen. I'm nearly 30, but in today's world, I might as well be 50 when it comes to lack of love and romantic relationships.

I feel liberated knowing I can do anything in my life. With D I felt held back, like something was missing. I was missing my true self! I had become so used to him and being with him, I lost myself in the process. This is my fresh start. New home, new part time business, new life, new Michelle. I think each and every day about doTERRA, think of all the possibilities it could open for me, think about all the people's lives I can touch with it, just like it did for me, and I am forever grateful to my two awesome mentors, Lorraine and Linda.

I feel so much more alive than a month ago, even 2 months ago. The sky is the limit at this point, and I'm aiming for the stars.

BE YOU!

As I've mentioned before, I'm part of a fitness website known as My Fitness Pal. Anyone from any walk of life can register there for free, to keep a food and exercise diary, and you find friends with similar interests, similar goals, etc.

Very often, we congratulate each other on jobs well done, pounds (and sometimes ounces) lost, good food choices, and even fun sayings to keep us motivated. A dear soul on there, who said I could use her quote she posted (thesophierose, THANK YOU!) mentioned this yesterday, and it made me read it over and over as I start moving on and finding my happily ever after:

"Be insane. Be beautiful. Be you. <3"

Obviously it means something different to everyone. Each part has a different meaning, different tone, different bearing on each of our lives. The way I see it: Do whatever you want, but always be yourself. Don't let someone define you. Don't stay unhappy in any situation. Make your dreams come true, and don't stop until you reach your goals.

The more I reflected on this the past day, the more I'm brought back to one of my doTERRA mentors, who said this is now the PERFECT time to start up my own doTERRA business. I'm single, can make extra income, and it's a product I use daily and have seen the benefits of it with my mood, yoga, Fibromyalgia, aches and pains, massage therapy with layering of the oils, etc. I've even done quite a bit of research on essential oils and holistic animal care, as animal rescue it another of my hobbies. It makes the most sense to start selling part time, build my business, find my niche, and start making it work for me. I'll still work full time (and then some) at the telephone company, but this will be extra money in the bank, and something I am very passionate about.

I will probably start up in November, working on business models, all admist moving into my first apartment (I get my keys tomorrow), returning to work full time after being on disability and partial disability for 2 months (one week down!), and getting my life back in order so I can be the best I can be, take care of myself, provide for myself, reconnect with old friends and new business clients, researching more doTERRA oils and uses (millions upon millions, I've learned!), And all in all:

Being insane, being beautiful, and being ME!
