Holiday trial class at Kidicode

Hi folks!

As kids these days hooked up a lot on playing games like Roblox or minecraft whether on the mobile phone, iPad or computer, when you asked them what's their ambition or what they wished to do when they grow up, I got many replies YouTubed or gamer.

In Malaysia, we do not have coding class in the local education syllabus unlike some other countries like Singapore, Estonia, etc.

During this school holiday I took the chance to send my older kids to a trial coding class at Kidicode.

It was an eye-opener for me truly. Besides the kids attending the practical coding introductory session, we parents get to sit down and go thru' the same practice as well so that we understand their method of teaching as well as what is being imparted during the session.

I like their style of adaptive learning whereby each kids would learn at their own pace and with its own level of difficulty in their challenges they faced.

And parents received a report on the process of their children. Also, the environment is made to be like how the current IT companies like google is like, with free flow of food and drinks and lotsa bean bags and sitting area where the parents and kids get to rest whenever they need to and enjoy the snacks.

Their founder used to work at Google, Microsoft as well as lecturing in our local public and private universities thus the learning experience and process here is very engaging I would say.

So do check out and sign up for their trial session if you have an aspiring gamer at home too. You might just transform and consumer to a creator of the game.

Topical Application- Blending

Hi folks,

When applying essential oils, some people might use blending method.

What is Blending?
I am sure for many beginners, more often than not we would search on the internet to find out more on how to use anything including essential oils and we would find lotsa blends or recipes for all sorts of usage.



In the eo pocket reference book, it will also gives some tested and researched protocols or blends for specific usage.

I have personally tried to mix the blends from single oils (YL has its own blend like RC, Harmony, Citrus Fresh, etc that have already come with a specific tested protocol/ proportion that you wouldn’t want to change it) for my son(first aid spray) when his knee was bleeding from falling on the tar road.


And recently I also mix a roll-on (consist of Cool Azul and Idaho Balsam Fir with the carrier oil- Body Ease Massage oil from Young Living) for my dad when he complained of severe backache. He said it helped his back pain and he can resume his exercise and weekly walking and city touring trip with his friend.




I find that making a blend(in a specific quantity and following a specific protocol) is useful especially when you want it to make it easy and simple enough for someone to use it.
For example when I want to pass to my babysitter/nursery teacher to apply it for my youngest son(now he’s old enough to roll on himself), for my older ones when they have sniffles, or as insect repellent or simply for them to combat situation when they need to use what they called the “stinky” public toilets.

More so for my dad or for gentleman who would be more willing to use it when it’s made into a roll-on as it’s easier to apply on-the-go, fuss free and manly as they wouldn’t prefer carrying bottles of oils around with the carrier oil just to mix and apply πŸ˜‰

So what kind of blends have you tried and found useful? Or is there any specific protocol you like to find out? Drop your comments and sharing now and you might just win yourself something nice eo to try.

Are you also interested to find out more on the Young Living Essential Oils and the Young Living carrier oils 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 2018 to all!

Cheers!

Topical Application

Hi folks!

Besides diffusing the essential oils(eo) with a good quality diffuser, another way of using essential oil that we used a lot in our home is by topical application.

What are topical application?
It means applying the oils topically on our body usually through the biggest organs of our body, a.k.a. out skin.

There are few ways of applying topically:
☝Neat vs Dilute
For beginners, it is always good to dilute your essential oils with a plant-based carrier oils before applying to your skin. Diluting will not make the eo less effective. It simply slows down the speed the eo enters to our body. This is useful for people who might have sensitive skin or have very thin layer of skin like the children and elderly.

Some of the types of carrier oils:
πŸ₯ƒ Virgin coconut oils(VCO)
πŸ₯ƒ Sweet almond oil
πŸ₯ƒ Olive oils 
πŸ₯ƒ V6 oil from Young Living 
πŸ₯ƒ Cel-lite Massage oil from Young Living
πŸ₯ƒ OrthoEase Massage oil from Young Living
πŸ₯ƒ OrthoSport Massage oil from Young Living
πŸ₯ƒ Sensation oil from Young Living




I personally love V6 oil as it’s less greasy(I can even apply on my face) compared to the VCO that I used to apply. Also, some people do not tolerate the smell of VCO very well.

And, I would use OrthoEase Massage during the Raindrop massage.

Cel-lite Massage oil will come into picture when I mix my citrus fresh+cypress blend to combat cellulite issues as cypress eo is great for blood circulation and citrus fresh works well at the fatty spot.

And these bottles last me quite sometime!  Very cost-effective I would say!

Now, when will I use neat application? More for adults, for me, I would dab Melaleuca (tea tree oil) neat on my acne as it works better for me this way.

Also, when I do Raindrop massage, the essential oils are applied neat in layers(we will talk about layering and also blending in another post).

✌Layering

X'Mas in the air

Hi folks!

Last week, we brought kids to get some stationery items and books at IOI Mall and there are some X'Mas activities going on there.

We met the time where there are artificial snows falling from the rooftop and there were free cotton candy for visitors.


The kids had fun even though it's not REAL snow!


Hopefully someday soon, we will visit to a real snowy place to spend our Christmas day (my kids' wish and mine too)!

Have a lovely Christmas gathering moments with your family and friends folks!
