It has been a while since our beloved Savvy Makeup but now we can be assured an alternative has arrived for us to enjoy! It is a creation that Melissa Poepping has taken many months to bring into fruition. She is also in the process of creating an entire line and takes about 6 months for each new product to test herself and add ingredients as she precisely explores what gives the results that she and all her clients will need for the perfect results. And each product must pass the obsession test. Which means that one can never be without....The first product that I ordered was the eyebrow definer. And then I tried the mascara. I was happy to discover that both of these products met my expectations.
And now I am discovering several other products that one can only find at Vrai-Cosmetics.com They are unique and specially designed to create a flawless, soft radiant glow.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and if you're a romantic at heart, I can imagine that you will be thinking of special ways to create lasting memories this year. This Valentine’s Day, why not enjoy a romantic night in with your significant other? Whether you don’t want to fight the crowd or simply want to stay home and make the most of the moment, here are some tips for having a romantic night at home.
Set the Mood with an Amazing Atmosphere
Whether you’re setting up a romantic dinner or planning an evening of fun activities, take some time to set up the atmosphere. Create a playlist of your favorite love songs—or your partner's favorite tunes—and put it on loop. You can also decorate around the house with low light diffusers, flowers, or other items that represent your love and romance. Get creative! If you don't have any decorations on hand, consider making them yourself for an added touch of personalization.
Diffusing essential oils is one of the best ways to help set the mood. Here are a few diffuser recipes you can use to put romance in the air.
Plan Fun Activities Together
There are plenty of fun activities you can do together from the comfort of your own home. Have a movie marathon with films that remind you both of how you met or feature some of your favorite actors. Play board games or video games—you can even challenge each other to learn something new! The possibilities are endless when it comes to finding unique ways to spend quality time together without ever leaving your home.
Prepare Dinner Together
Plan to cook together or make it ahead. You can also head to Pinterest for some new recipes or get creative with ingredients you already have in your fridge. This can be part of the activity you do together valentines day night.
Draw a Bath
Whether you're pampering yourself or creating an enjoyable experience for a spouse, a romantic bath can be just the thing you need. Infuse your bath with epsom salts, fragrant bath salts and essential oils.
Consider a Massage
Valentines day is the PERFECT day to surprise your loved one with a massage. You can find great how to videos on YouTube or instructions on Pinterest. Break out fragrant massage oils, such as the Sensation Massage Oil and Relaxation Massage oil. If you're going for a deep moisturizer, you can use lotion over oils. Use what you have on hand or try the Coconut Lime Replenishing Body Butter is an all-time favorite.
At the end of the day, remember that this Valentine's Day is all about celebrating your relationship and enjoying each other's company. Take some time to relax and cuddle up on the couch while talking about everything and anything that comes to mind. Enjoy the moment without any distractions and cherish each other in every way possible! After all, isn't that what being in love is all about?
Geranium essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers, leaves, and stems of the Pelargonium graveolens plant, a multibranched shrub that grows up to 5 feet tall. Native to subtropical southern Africa, geranium was used traditionally by the Egyptians to promote beautiful, radiant skin. Today Geranium essential oil is obtained from Africa and Madagascar and is used in many perfumes and cosmetics for its fresh, floral aroma and skin care benefits. In addition to use in topical products and perfumes, Geranium essential oil can be diffused or inhaled for its uplifting and soothing aroma.
- Diffuse Geranium with Grapefruit or Tangerine for a bright, uplifting aroma.
- Add a few drops to your facial essence, serum, or moisturizer to help promote the appearance of healthy, youthful skin.
- Apply it to your hair to promote shine and wear it as a hair perfume.
- Combine it with oils like Lavender and Ylang Ylang in a hot bath to create a peaceful, private getaway.
Ylang Ylang essential oil will be sourced exclusively from Young Living's very own Finca Botanica Farm and Distillery in Ecuador!
The Ecuadorian Ylang Ylang oil will have the same properties you know and love. The main noticeable difference is that the Ecuadorian Ylang Ylang oil has a slightly softer and sweeter floral aromatic profile. You’ll love its romantic floral aroma either on its own or as an ingredient in your DIY blends.
A classic scent we can all recognize with a simple sniff, Lavender essential oil provides a calming, floral scent that instantly sets us at ease. 
Enjoy more of what Lavender oil has to offer—slide to reveal.
Lavender oil is also great for:
Relieving digestive discomfort
Easing joint and muscle pain associated with sprains/strains/rheumatoid arthritis
Creating a relaxing environment that can help relieve headaches
Acting as a nervine/calmative to promote relaxation
Providing comfort during cough and cold symptoms

Yesterday was the first day that I actually felt the Fall Season approaching. We are through with the High 3 digit heat and moving into some cooler weather both during the day and also at night. Yeah! I feel more relaxed and energized with the seasonal changes.
I have a couple of NingXia Red recipes to share with you and I have to say that NingXia Red is a nutritional delicious drink that is good for all Seasons. But it is an excellent beverage to share at parties or with your daily regimen. I will first give you a few reasons why you might want to begin using NingXia Red.
The benefits of NingXia Red include support for energy levels, normal cellular function, whole-body health, and normal eye health. A daily shot of 2–4 ounces helps support overall wellness with powerful antioxidants.*
It contains every essential amino acid. It contains 13 percent protein, the highest protein content of any fruit. It has trace minerals. It has naturally occurring Vitamins B1, B6, and B2—the energy vitamin. It has more Vitamin C than all the fruits and veggies on the earth: 148 milligrams. Parsley and Spinach have 133 milligrams. Oranges have 53. It has more calcium than cherries (16mg) and cruciferous veggies (50) at 110 milligrams, and more beta carotene (12,600) than carrots (11,000). It is loaded with fiber because the skin of the berry was preserved.
There are 7 main ways that NingXia Red can scientifically support the body’s overall health.
- Antioxidants: One ounce of Ningxia red = 2 pounds of wolfberries. There are 17 or 18 species of wolfberry, but only the NingXia wolfberry has the ability to deliver all the micro and macro nutrients that are bioavailable to the cells of your body. Antioxidants play a huge role in aging, memory, arthritis, inflammation—and so much more. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities. Presently, the highest antioxidant on the ORAC scale is vitamin E which comes in between 800 and 1200, followed by blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates etc... A combination of fruits, together, reach around 3000 on the ORAC. The ORAC score of NingXia is 27,300.
- Acid to Alkaline: In your body, you have alkaline acid. What creates disease? Acid. It breeds virus, bacteria, and fungus. When you can keep your pH neutral, you inhibit growth of things you don’t want in your body. Everything we eat converts in the stomach, which has a pH of 2.5. Wolfberry goes into the stomach and starts to break down as acid, but the minute it hits the small intestine, it immediately converts back to alkaline. It’s acid binding and alkaline forming. Only one other food does that: the lemon. Wolfberry is chemically structured to convert because of the amino acid Tripsin—which is responsible for the conversion of amino acids in protein. And guess what NingXia is? It’s alkaline protein. It’s the most perfect food that exists.
- Free Radicals: Where do free radicals come from? The air, electromagnetic fields, stuff we’re eating—chocolate, sugar. They are the army guys on the wrong side of the team. They wreak havoc. You outnumber the army with NingXia. Your body does a good job at taking care of oxidative stress, but one of the reasons we age—the reasons we get wrinkly, the reasons we feel tired-- it’s because of an excess of free radicals. Everything that is high in ORAC will flush your system really well. Your body gets quadrillions of free radical attacks each day: 10,000 attacks **per cell** per day. The body needs a leg up. Most other “nutritional” drinks do little against superoxide—the worst free radical—because the drinks are so heavily processed. Gary worked for years to protect the berry all the way to the bottle, so you get the full benefits. The NingXia wolfberry was saved during processing. That means it is a powerhouse designed to fight free radicals in the body.
- Vitamin/Mineral Pairs: Minerals have to be properly balanced. Too much calcium will result in a zinc deficiency. Too much zinc can suppress immunity and lead to anemia. Both the mineral profile and the mineral balance of the NingXia wolfberry is without equal in the plant kingdom. With magnesium to calcium ratios 1:1, zinc to copper 2:1, and potassium to magnesium 8:1: it is exactly what the body needs in proportion.
- It’s A Macronutrient: You’re getting whole food nutrition. It’s coming from the plant—not a synthetic source. It’s coming from a food-based source. That means it’s easier for your body to process and you’ll absorb more of what you’re eating. It is also a liquid. If you did a digestive function test, 95-98 percent of us would come back with a weak or deficient digestive system—because of medications, stress, and processed food. To get NingXia in a liquid form means you absorb it faster, and your body doesn’t have to break it down.
- It’s Infused with Essential Oils: Essential Oils in NingXia act as a delivery system to the body. Because it’s infused with YL therapeutic-grade essential oils, it increases the absorption rate of NingXia. The tiny oils act as a delivery system for the larger molecules.
- It Has the Right Sugar and the Right Enzymes: But sugar is bad, right? Not all sugar. NingXia has the right sugar to open the door to your cell. When our cell membranes are 1) inflamed 2) oxidized 3) toxic 4) lacking in mitochondrial function to energize the receptors to open and close—we have no energy. NingXia’s sugars open the door to our cells so good information can get passed to them. It crosses the lipid layer of the cell and passes inside. Only 8 sugars on the earth can open the door. NingXia has 4 of the 8, naturally occurring inside the wolfberry. Let’s also talk enzymes. By age 40, you start losing digestive enzymes in the gut. NingXia is loaded with the right enzymes to help you break food down and get the nutrients out of what you eat. Feed your body exactly what it needs.

Both FRANKINCENSE and SACRED FRANKINCENSE have amazing healing properties that have been used by many cultures worldwide. Gary Young said that he had been studying frankincense for over 20 years, and he feels he had “just scratched the surface” in discovering the benefits!
The historical use of Frankincense dates back 5000 years ago to ancient Egypt. With olive and sesame oils Frankincense oil was used to create ointments. In 3200 BC Egyptians used Frankincense resin as part of their embalming process.
But what is the difference between Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense?
Frankincense contains a significant amount of boswellic acid. And Sacred Frankincense has double the amount of boswellic acid.
Summertime is full of fun activities, but do your best to not over schedule yourself. If you’re taking a trip, don’t wait until the last minute to pack. If you’re throwing a party, take it easy on yourself and make it a potluck. The less pressure you put on yourself, the less stressed you’ll be in the long run.
1. Acknowledge and accept your feelings.
Whenever you are experiencing any challenging feeling, it’s always important to stop and acknowledge the feeling you’re having. In this case, acknowledge the overwhelm and try to accept it. Overwhelm is normal and expected when you have a lot going on. Acknowledging and accepting your overwhelm is the first step to letting it go.
2. Determine where the overwhelm is coming from.
We feel overwhelmed when there is too much of something: too much to do, too many feelings, too many things to think about, too many people or things pulling us in too many directions… you get the idea! After you acknowledge that you are overwhelmed, ask yourself what’s causing the feeling. For me, it’s often caused by the feeling that I have to give all the people and all the things all of my attention right now and I have to do it all perfectly. That’s a very overwhelming feeling!
3. Figure out the truth.
Once you know where the overwhelm is coming from, you might notice that you’re telling yourself a story that isn’t true. Like in my example from above, it might feel like I need to take care of everything all at once and I need to do it all perfectly, but that simply is not true. The truth is that some things can be set aside for now. The truth is that everything will be okay if I let go of perfection.
4. Ask yourself what you need.
This step can be challenging at first but it is so important. Once you know that you are overwhelmed, you know what’s causing the overwhelm, and you’ve been honest with yourself about it, it’s time to ask yourself what you need right now in this moment. Maybe you need to tackle a task and get it out of the way, maybe you need a break, or maybe stepping outside for a walk will help tame your overwhelm. There is no right or wrong answer here, just figure out what will give you a bit of space to breathe and feel a bit calmer.
5. Take one small step.
Now that you know what you need, take one small step to help yourself. If you need a walk, take one. If you need to check something off your list, do it. One small step will usually lead you to one next step, and before you know it, you’ve calmed yourself down and you’re ready for the next thing.
I hope you find those tips as helpful as I have!!! See you next week!

As the name indicates, aromatherapy is a therapy that uses aromas. Aromatherapy is a branch of botanical medicine that uses volatile and aromatic plant compounds. Because of the unique direct relationship between emotions and olfaction within the brain, essential oils can help “unlock” stored memories and emotions. When you breathe in essential oils, molecules enter the limbic system and elicit an emotional response. An aversion to a particular oil may indicate something more than just personal preference. It could actually be stirring an unpleasant emotional reaction. Conversely, oils that bring about positive emotions are likely favored.
Intentional imprinting is a POWERFUL way to take control of your emotions by using essential oils, well, intentionally! Below are the steps:
1. You will be choosing (4) different essential oils and/or essential oil blends to correspond with one of the following emotions:
- Anger/Frustration
- Sadness
- Overwhelm/Stress
- Anxiety/Fear
2. Now, keep these oils on you or in places where you experience the opposite of the
emotions above. You will inhale your selected oil to start imprinting your limbic system to elicit the particular emotional response you want to occur when you want the emotion experienced.
For example, the opposite emotion of anger/frustration is calm. I choose to use
lavender essential oil in times of calm or when I experience a sense of calm in my life.
Examples of calm moments in my life might be in the evenings after my children have been put to bed or when I am in the shower taking a few moments to myself for self-care and relaxation. I will inhale lavender at these moments of calm as consistently as I can. Now, when I am feeling angry or frustrated, I need to take my bottle of lavender and inhale deeply. If I have been consistent for about 30 days, then my limbic system should be triggered by the lavender aroma to bring about a feeling of calm.
3. Be consistent. Try to inhale your chosen oil when you are feeling calm, happy, peaceful, or courageous every time you feel that emotion. It will take about 30 days to imprint your limbic system. Be patient with yourself if it takes longer. You need to remember to be intentional and conscious of your use of oils with your emotions.
Below are listed the (4) emotions we will be focusing on and the opposite emotions that we want to elicit. There are also suggested essential oils and blends for your consideration. Honestly, there is no right or wrong oil to pair with an emotion. I suggest trying to pick oils that you are drawn to.
