Now I'm Serious!


About 8 months ago, my dear friend, Maria made me this lovely website so I could incorporate all the things that matter to me and that I'm working on in one place! 

I had totally intended to start getting back to blogging before this but sadly family and personal events got in the way!

However, at the weekend something happened to kick me back into gear! Now I NEED to work on and build my business up! I am so blessed that I have the support of Maria and my friend Annette to cover both my Rainbow Drops, Young Living, oils business and the Rainbow Cottage craft side. Anything to start bringing in some money right?

So this is it! NOW I'M SERIOUS!! I am committed, I am going to use my oils to give me some energy and help me become the healthiest me that I can be,  so I can put my energies into my business! I'm also looking to my diet to see if there are changes I can make along the way to supplement the oils I'm using. 

So, on the business side, in addition to making things to sell and promote my facebook craft fair, I will be spreading out the jobs I have to do, in order to increase my social media business presence, throughout the week. Expect to see at least once weekly blog posts (maybe twice if you're lucky!), and photo's going up on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Then on the health side, my first change is to cut out drinking coffee. The coffee I have is about half a teaspoon so not strong but I think it might be causing my excessive sweating (not a pretty sight!) But I am going to continue to allow myself to drink one cup of coffee first thing in the morning. This isn't to wake me up as coffee actually tends to make me sleepy! It's a comfort thing.


Down to Business!


This is my first photo that I have taken and prepared for social media. While I will be posting to several sites none of my team are focusing on Pinterest and that is where my greatest following is so that is where I will be putting most of my online oily focus. 

My photo is of 2 of my favourite Young Living blends, Joy and Stress Away and some of my sample bottles all ready to find a new home! 

(Now I wanted to add Lavender in to but it threw the photo off balance ;-) to be honest I hate Lavender! The smell is not one I find pleasant at all BUT its amazing! It is good for literally almost everything!! I grab it straightaway in any first aid situation and carry it in my handbag for the same reason!)



So, quick intro's to Joy and Stress Away!

Joy - I wear Joy on my diffuser necklace most days. It calms me and makes me feel a bit happier. (life can be really tough! Every little thing you can do to support your mood has to good right?!) Joy contains Bergamot, Lemon, Palmarosa, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Geranium, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, Coriander and Tangerine. It can smell quite strong at first but worth keeping it going for a bit to allow your nose to adjust to the fragrance and to experience its full uplifting effects

Stress Away - I have loved Stress Away from the moment I unpacked the oils from my Premium Starter Kit! I absolutely love the scent and nothing I have bought from Young Living since has knocked it off top spot! Its the combination of Lime and Vanilla that I like most, I think, but that's the beauty of blends as Stress Away has Lavender in it and I don't even notice it and maybe it even contributes to the sweet smell! It also contains Copaiba, Cedarwood and Ocotea. Cedarwood and Lavender are good for relaxing you so are perfect in a blend to reduce your stress levels.

Thank you for sticking with me and reading my long post (I'll try to make future ones a bit shorter!). I would love to send you some FREE samples! Would you like to try Joy, Stress Away or Lavender? Or even one of their other amazing oils like Thieve's (Immunity Support), Di Gize (Digestive) or Panaway (Muscle aches and pains)? Just drop me a note to let me know in the contact form on the left sidebar under my Young Living details.

Bye for now,
