Diffusing


Hi folks!

We started our journey of using Young Living essential oils more than three years ago and when my friends asked me what is the easiest way to start incorporating essential oils(eo) as part of their health regime, I would recommend diffusing with a good quality diffuser and of course good quality essential oils.


Why diffuser is a great way to start using the essential oils?


There are some common ways to start using the essential oils:

💧Diffusing
👋Topical Application
🥃Ingesting

Today I like to touch on diffusing.



For beginners, diffusing is the easiest way to start. And for me, it worked great for my family of 5.

Being a mom of 3, I often try to find the most cost-effective measures. I find that diffusing oils in the room with 3 or all 5 of us in there is like hitting 5 birds with one stone! All 5 of us get the benefits from that 2-3 drops of essential oil added to diffuser. How awesome is that!


Also, if at the beginning, you have a gentleman at home who simply refuse to sleep early or take any measures to improve his health condition, diffusing is a great way to benefit him in a more gentle and indirect way. I would diffuse lavender for a good night rest for my husband and I. And when he have stuffy nose, I would diffuse Peppermint or Eucalyptus oil.


As for children, they are really smart, they know what is good for them and they are a big fan of eo and diffusers. After I got my first diffuser, I used to diffuse it once in each room(moving it manually from room to room). Later on, I find it easier to just have a diffuser in each room. So now my kids have their own diffuser and a set of their favourite oils to diffuse and they would ON the diffuser themselves at night before they go to bed.

(Let me share more about the oils my kids would diffuse and apply as part of their daily aroma routine in a separate post)

We have a Aria Diffuser at our Master bedroom(and everyone just love to crowd and sleepover at mom and dad's room!), Dewdrop diffuser, Desert Mist diffusers and AromaLux Diffuser in other rooms; and we also have a USB/ORB diffuser in our car 🚗 during our travel. It is an awesome way to have a therapeutic 30mins+ ride diffusing oils like lemon, peppermint, grapefruit,etc eo ❤️. By the time you've reached office or your destination, you are fully all relaxed and calm and ready to go full force 💪


Are you also interested to find out more on the Young Living Essential Oils and the diffusers that I am using for my family? Just drop me a message and I am happy to share more with you.

You can also easily get them online at wholesale price from here(or just quote my member ID: 2734250 under the enroller and sponsor to get started with your own membership)

Try to get the Premium Starter Kit(PSK) that comes with a free membership when you get your diffuser and oils, as you get to buy them at wholesale price(it's more worth it!) rather than paying at retail price or buying elsewhere. You gained more than just wholesale price..you will also get some promo and free oils from their loyalty plan. So it's killing two birds with one stone!


Have a healthy start for the coming year folks!


Blessed X’Mas to all!

Cheers!

Happy Winter Solstice and my wishes for coming year

Hi folks!

Today is Winter Solstice...The origins of this festival can be traced back to the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration(which is equivalent to New Year day for Chinese), there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in.

On this day I like to wish all my family, friends and readers a blessed year ahead!

My wishes is to be MORE of the following for the coming year!
Agile - In facing challenges and opportunities 
Brave- In doing and being in the unknown
Creative- On creating and doing something new and never done before
Diligent- In creating and manifesting goodness and wellness
Enthusiastic- In sharing, caring and learning 
Fastidious- Grasp and fully-utilise each given moment and opportunity 
Grateful- Too all the blessings from above
Humble- to be a learner from all things, events and people around me
Intelligent - 🤓 when making choices
Joyful- when being alone and with others 
Kind- when facing mean or simply insecure people 
Loving- Too all people and things around me
Magnanimous- to have a big heart 
Open- to new ideas, new ways and new adventures
Prepared- to all things and blessings that comes to me
Quick-witted or seng mok in Cantonese- to be fast at catching or sensing things 
Red- haha 😂 yeah this is something very lacking in me ..Red for auspicious and Can-Do attitude 
Sensible - to do and say the right thing at the right time 
Thoughtful- to take one step further and add In magical touch and care
Unapologetic- to not say sorry all the time ..thus not to do things which is not aligned with your true heart

Be Empowered and Stay Informed

Hi folks!

I learnt a lot from listening to Tedtalk and guess what I heard from the Tedtalk today?

Do you all know that many of the medicines we take today; i.e. common drugs like Ambien and everyday aspirin -- were only ever tested on men. No? Neither do I...

And the unknown side effects for women can be dangerous, even deadly. Alyson McGregor who is a Emergency Physician studies the differences between male and female patients; in this fascinating talk she explains how the male model became our framework for medical research ... and what women and men need to ask their doctors to get the right care for their bodies.

Ask..question..check and get to know what we are putting in to our body. And go for natural option whenever possible ❤️ which is what brings me to using essential oils!

Here's the Tedtalk if you wish to listen to it:



Have a healthy year ahead folks! Make the wise choice and informed decision! Feel free to contact me if you like to learn more about essential oils which brings so much benefits to my family and friends.

Scripture Reciting

Hi folks!

Since young I learnt that letting children go recite scripture and classical poems and stories inculcate the inner appreciation, ability to sit still and focus better in children.

I love reading poems since young I felt they were so beautifully done even though I do not entirely understand the message behind it.

We also let our children to attend scripture reciting classes from the Four Classics (from Confucius) and other classics passed down by the wise ones in the past. They learn to recite passages from The Great Learning, Analects, Di Zi Gui, and many more.

During their annual assessment, they are encouraged to bring a handmade gift to exchange with other students from class reciting classes all over the places in Malaysia.

We even have our Malay and Indian friends sending their children for such classes and there is a mini Tang Yuan competition whereby we even have Curry Tang Yuan invented by our dear Indian friends..
