10 Reasons To Choose Young Living Essential Oils

Anyone who reads my blog knows I am a huge supporter of Young Living Essential Oils. It has been such a game changer for myself and my family. Gone are my husbands OTC allergy meds, my oldest daughter hasn't had Benadryl in months, my youngest has yet to have an ear infection from teething since I started using YLEO on her. My migraines are handled and that is just barely skimming the surface. I also use YLEO for cooking, cleaning and even on our pets.

If you are ever interested in Young Living Oils, how they are used, what goes into making them, how safe they are, recipes, testimonies, etc. PLEASE, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd love to share with you all the many ways they have helped me and my family. I also have samples. I just love sharing these oils. Period.

Back in the saddle again....

Life has been super busy for me the past few weeks. Between both girls fighting contagious illnesses I've been full on mommy mode and not so much HLC. I'm not complaining about it mind you.I love being mommy and the past 2 weeks have given me lots of down time and extra snuggles and cuddles with my girls that if healthy, they would never allow. I'll take it. Still though, I'm over all the germs and the sick days and not having much of a life outside of our house which has been our annoying prison it seems. We're busting out soon though.

I've officially signed up for my first 5k next month! It's been over a year since my last 5k and my husband has done 3!! I'm so ready to start running more and now that I have a better understanding of my Plantar Fasciitis, I know I can pace myself and manage it far better. I won't allow it to stop me so much as before. Between my PT tips and my YL Oils, I've totally got this.

Totally worth sharing as it has been the best treatment I've found in over 2 years of dealing with this.

Love sharing my testimonies with Young Living Essential oils, they have been MAJOR life changers for our family. From allergies, colds, cleaning, cooking to our pets even. We use them for everything. I'll be doing a giveaway soon on my FB page(The Healthy Living Chick) since I've been gaining new people lately. Make sure you check it out. I may even do another giveaway here on my blog come December, just in time for Christmas! So stay tuned for that as well.


Happy Saturday- Britt The HLC

Coming soon

Update tonight!!

I'll share a bunch of pictures from Saturdays fun race and how I did.

For now, I'm dealing with an injury from the race and am off my feet (literally) for a few days.

Ohhhh the many ups and down of running.

Happy Monday,
Britt The HLC

Catching up is hard to do...

Feels like forever since I truly blogged.

Been fighting the losing end of a cold this week which has zapped my humanity and left me as a huge lump on the couch. Thank goodness for Kuerig hot tea, kleenex and netflix (AMEN!). Texas has had some much needed and long lasting rain the past 2 days so it's been an added lazy day to boot.

I promise to update more. with Evan and I doing several 5ks next month I'll be very busy with my training and now with a new year to obtain my healthy eating goals I'm looking at some fun dishes to try out on my unsuspecting, er, willing family.

Speaking of food, I have signed up to be a part of Foodie Penpal it's seems like a fun thing to look forward to every month and to blog about. Pretty much, you get matched up with another person and with a $15 max you fill a box full of goodies and mail it out. By the end of the month you blog about what you received in your box. I can't wait to receive and send out my first box. I'm very excited about this. :)

No January running mix. I'm being honest with my readers, this month I haven't ran all but 2 measly miles and therefore have no mix to share. Feel free to share with me some of your current songs to run/workout too. I'll need them to keep me going for my 5ks next month. *gulp*

Wish me luck today. I got to my OB to start the baby planning. Not sure if I shared it on the blog but we're ready to start trying for baby#2. You can catch up about my more personal entries on the family blog The Hartfield Files

Evan and I are getting ready to spend a lot of time together as we start training together. He's a much better/faster runner than I am and yet he's never done a 5k. Nor has he ever seemed interested in things I get fired up about. I truly think I confused him when I told him last August I was starting a new blog and we were cleaning house on all the crap food/drinks in our home and how he wasn't ever allowed to eat McDonald's or Jack in the box again!

Evan and I  a year after we were married

LOOK HOW SKINNY WE WERE!

Life is about to get extra interesting/busy and healthier. I'm so excited about it all too.

What are you looking forward to this year?

Just a random blog entry....

I gained 6 pounds from my vacation......Screw it, I'll chop it up to PMS and my awaiting cycle.....

HA. ( if only)

I'm playing around with my blog a bit, flipping formats and trying out colors and headers. E suggested I look into just buying my own website. I will have to seriously ponder this because I just don't feel that I have enough readers let alone know what I'm talking about half the time to draw people in. Guess it's a good thing I do this blog for fun.

My knee has been giving me problems since before I left for NC and because of this, I have hardly ran at all. I hate when the weather flip flops for this reason. After my torn ACL back in 98' my knee only gives me problems when it gets cold and I feel like a geriatric patient!! I'm determined though, I seriously do not want to treadmill train all winter, I'd rather hit the road and trails and enjoy being outside and free to roam...even if it's in the 30's and 40's.

E is even beginning to want to run with me. He showed me the Warrior Dash website yesterday and like a little boy given a free pass at a candy store pointed to the screen and said "Can we do this together next April? PLEEEEASE!" How could I say no when he said it so adorable? So yeah, add the North Texas Warrior Dash to the list of events on our ever expanding list of events for 2012. I'm not going to lie...I'm excited for each and every event.

I'll share some pictures from my trip next post.
