ACCIDENTAL WEIGHT LOSS


ACCIDENTAL WEIGHT LOSS


This post is contributed by One Drop member – Faith Teo




Ah never did I thought that I would be writing a post on weight loss especially when I wasn’t looking to lose weight but ok here I go!

I have always been a foodie. Food is my pleasure, food is my life. Probably too much.

So what changed? When I went to Ecuador last November for the Platinum Retreat and was told by Dr David through my bloodwork analysis that I have candida in my body. Its a kind of fungus, a common one that grows with the luxuries of modern lifestyle… you know, the sugar, the additives, the processed food. I was also Vitamin C deficit. Very deficit.

Dr David asked me to take more greens. Among other things. And that I could use Thieves and Juvacleanse to help cleanse and detox me so I wouldn’t feel so tired most of the times. Imagine having a kind of fungus traveling through your blood and (eep!) up your brain? Definitely will cause brain fog and tiredness for anyone!

So when I came home, I made teeny tiny changes as time goes by. I have a hectic lifestyle with 2 young and demanding kids who I called Queen Ju and King Sol (yes Jonathan Teo and I are their slaves hahah!).
I first began to use Thieves. Over time I incorporated Juvacleanse too.

Then I started to add more vegetables to our family meals. I LOVE LOVE salads but I didn’t want to spend so much time in the kitchen cooking for the family then make a salad for myself. So I just double the greens and add them to our family soups. Eating more greens also mean that I cut down on my grains intake (rice, noodles) since the vegs filled me up.

Then I reduce the late night snackings. You know… the time of the day where finally (!) the kids are asleep and you and your hubs have some blessed me-time. I used to snack. Ate all kinds of food *blink blink*. I found this hard to stop so I switch to drinking tea at night. Water too. Never mind that I peed more at night too. Hahaha.

Recently I added Progessence Phyto Plus to balance my hormones. I started on it because my face was beginning to break out and I noticed that it was around Aunty Flow time of the month. Then I added Dragon Time too when a recent Zyto scan shows me that I needed it.

For these 2 years, our family have also switch our household cleaning and personal care products to non toxic ones ala Young Living! Do you know that toxins from plastics, SLS, parabens etc are stored into fats? So it makes sense to go chemical free as much as possible at home.

(Please look out for the Thieves campaign and chemical free homes coming in May and June! We would be sharing more details on that real soon!)

And so… I present my photos to you.  The left one is taken when Sol is 1 year old and the right one is taken last month. Sol is turning 2 next week so you get a sensing on the time passed.

I guess I could go shady and tell you that I use these magic dinky oils and tadah, I’ve lost weight! But the truth is that long term weight loss is made up of a series of small sustainable changes in lifestyle. I don’t starve myself. In fact I just ate potato chips just now!

Anyway I didn’t believe when folks keep telling me I have lost weight thru my FB photos cos you know, FB photos can be staged. And when my mom told me I’ve lost weight, I pfft pfft at her words. But when a distant friend saw me in real life and told me the same, that’s where I sat up and take notice. Ahahaha.
I hope this lengthy post helps shed some light! I never dared to weigh or measure myself but so many of you told me in this group through my photos that I have slimmed down so I thought I’ll share with you what I did to achieve ACCIDENTAL WEIGHT LOSS. 

P.S. I’m still chubby! I haven’t completely slimmed down yet! Really!

OIL TO ABUNDANCE


OIL TO ABUNDANCE


This post is contributed by One Drop member – Faith Teo

I’ve said earlier in my group that I will share about my story on BIG MONEY BIG MONEY with Abundance. This is a heart felt sharing and I hope this will touch you, inspire you to live the life that you want.

I was very happy working in an international bank previously. I love my work, I treasure the friendships in my team and my manager and his manager are SO AWESOME. I never wanted to leave this place.

However these all change when I gave birth to my firstborn, Juvia in Sep 2012. Those who are FB friends with me would have probably seen her photos around.

Juvia and Motherhood transformed me. I’m not one of those women who knew right from the start that they wanted to be mothers. I was unsure whether I could be a good mom to Ju. In fact it took me 10 years of marriage to decide whether to have a child.

I was so entranced with the little girl that God bestowed on Jon and I. To say I love her is an understatement. Juvia taught me what BIG LOVE really feels like. It is sitting for 3 hours straight nursing her despite feeling stiff and achey in my bones. It was going thru 5 months of very little sleep because Ju doesn’t sleep very well. And still doesn’t.

It was also considering seriously to give up my well paid job to be home for her DESPITE the fact that I’m the sole breadwinner. Time away from her was like living a life with half a heart. I missed her. I cried when Jon sent me photos from home.

But I couldn’t give up my job right? It’s irresponsible. We don’t have much savings. It’s a well paid job. All these thoughts ran through my head.

I deliberated for 5 months. I’ve been using the Young Living oils since I was pregnant, during labour and for the whole of Juvia’s life. The oils gave me what every mother hoped for. A healthy happy child. A beautiful natural birth. Food for my little nursling. I love the oils and in time, I shared about them with my friends and they too, love the oils.

I thought, why not try build a business out of it. And in July 2013, I told my boss of my intention to resign.
I thought I’ll scrimp and save meanwhile so I have more time to try this business thing. I set my goals with my awesome uplines, Jacq and Gennet. Executive by end July (monthly sales volume of usd4000). Silver by end Sep (monthly sales volume of usd10,000). The race was on.




I began to use these oils in the photo daily. Cedarwood for clarity and precious oxygen to my brain. I need ideas ideas ideas to grow grow grow! Believe on my crown (top of head) because I have to believe I can do it. Transformation. An oil that works on releasing old beliefs and install new ones that support me in my quest. Such a powerful oil. I kept praying for Silver Silver Silver because I thought that’ll be when I can secure the minimum income needed to feed my family.

At that time, the original Let’s Add Oil group was young and small. There’s around 10 of us. We are a group of mommies who have kids in Sep 2012 and I was teaching them daily on using the oils. Excitement was high. Friends helping each other out. Moms who want natural wellness for their kids.

I kept praying that I could do it and began to add Abundance to my daily used oils. I prayed for so many things. For money to provide for my family. Time was ticking. I have only 2 months till when I’ll be jobless. I prayed for wisdom. For flexibility to shift and adapt to whatever I need to do to grow my business.

Then the BIG THING happened. My boss called me.

“Please don’t resign. We have a better offer for you.”

I cannot go into details here on what exactly happened because I’m also sworn to confidentiality on this. But I will say that in the end, I was able to walk away from my job without any financial worries and went into YL full time as of 1 Oct 2013.

It has been such an amazing journey. The Let’s Add Oil organisation grew from strength to strength for the next 2 years and I am blessed to have dedicated, wonderful, loving, caring people in my team, sharing about the oils, building our own businesses. In Nov 2014, we officially became Platinum (monthly sales volume usd100,000) and since then, the LAO organisation is on track to hit a million dollars sales year to date.

So even though this is a Young Living product fb group, I wanted to spread the message. What do you want for your life? What is that inner quiet timid voice whispering to you?

Wherein lies your joy?

Use your oils. And DON’T GIVE UP!

Ask for support.

You are here for a purpose.

Take a baby step today and with all my blessings, have a wonderful amazing life.

SELF CARE FOR BUSY MOMS


SELF CARE FOR BUSY MOMS


This post is contributed by One Drop member – Faith Teo

Ah when Mdm Ranna asked me to write an article on self care for moms, I must admit, I chuckled.

Me a mom who immediately associate GUILT with PLEASURE (self care). #imgettingbetter

Who gets antsy when she didn’t get stuff checked off her long long to-do list.

Who is definitely not the mom who is all put together, ZEN like, who can intone to you from Mt Enlightenment HOW TO DO SELF CARE.

But then again:
 
  1. I’m stay at home parents with my ever loving hubs Jon
  2. We have 2 young feisty active kids, who are in 2 different school times, 3 hours each. So they are with us except 30 mins daily where their school times mercifully overlap.
  3. We chose not to have a live in domestic help or car.
  4. We also juggle a multi million dollar Young Living business, over 90% in residual income, which we are exceedingly grateful for, in helping us to be stay at home parents for our kids.
So ok lah, I think I can send some light on this #momlife and self care thing. 😉

Here’s 5 tips I have for you. All oils mentioned – I like to apply over my heart and on my forehead and inhale the rest deeply from my palms:
 
1. Get clear on why self care is important to you.

I mean honestly, we can preach the Heavens to you but if you don’t see why you need it or you feel that your family CANNOT do without you, then well… NOTHING happens. So get clear get clear.

Oils to use: Clarity, 3 Wise Men, Release, Sacred Mountain.

2. Ask for help.

I was in the same never-ending loop of business-family-business-family until one day I bottomed out my well of giving. I literally felt that I couldn’t take another step further and I was shutting down. It is only then, then I asked my hubs Jon, “Please help me.”

I think we women are magnificent superwomen. We literally give ALL OUT (because oh dear biology wires us that way) then we get frustrated, resentful, angry on why no one helps us. Especially the damn husband / mother / mother in law. (Hahah, sorry Jon!)

Thing is we women come with a couple of flaws. Firstly we think that people can read our minds on what we need and render help accordingly. Or we say something vague once or twice, hoping peeps take the hint. Then SURPRISE! It didn’t happen.
Secondly I think women have a hard time asking for help. We like to soldier on until something gives out, we flat out, then ok… then we CONSIDER asking for help.

ASK. And ask for it with a bright loud voice. You need it. Dang you are worth it.

Oils to use: Humility, Transformation, Harmony, Hyssop

3. Perfectionism isn’t so perfect for life after all.

Repeat after me… “I will let the house be messy today so I can do my favourite thing. I can go have a cup of tea / read my favourite manga / eat that last piece of chocolate cake / add pleasure here.” No one dies from messes at home. And your sanity is worth any messes. Or dirty laundry piling up.

Pssst… I have this long black sofa in my living room and my clean laundry has been setting up camp there. To prevent it from growing into Mt Clean Underwear, we take clothes from it to wear after baths instead of from the wardrobe. Yup, my sofa is my wardrobe sans doors. Best thing, you can lie on it too!

(If you are judging me now for my terrible laundry habits, ah… tsk tsk that perfectionism thing is kicking in for you. :P)

Oils to use: Surrender, Family, Fun, Oola Balance

4. What’s your pleasures?

Ok time to let your hair down! What would you love to do? Go go go!

Tip 1: Usually it’s the stuff that you feel a sense of #momguilt, just thinking about it.

Tip 2: If you are feeling that you couldn’t do this self care shebang because you don’t have time or only have xx minutes, then would you be open to be present for your self care in that period of time? Being intentional EXPANDS our experiences.

Oils to use: Present Time, Joy, Orange, Valor, Inspiration

5. PRACTISE!

C’mon, you won’t get used to this self care thing unless you intentionally practise. Schedule time in your calendar, ask for help in a bright voice, kick that perfectionism to the curb.

Above all, we are more than just moms. 😃 We have our passions, our interests, our quirks, stuff that makes life worth living! WHOLE LIFE LIVING. SUCCULENT LIVING.

Isn’t that worth it? Plus! You get to show your kids how MOM does it. And they learn how to do that for themselves too when its their turn to be parents.

You got my permission. 😉

Now go on, claim THAT LIFE for yourself!

Oils to use: Joy, Lady Sclareol, Live with Passion, Light The Fire

I love the natural crisp and crunch even after it sits in my oat milk after awhile. Unlike a lot of cereals that turn soggy almost immediately. If one is looking for naturally sweet coated go-cereals, this is definitely your go-to.

BLENDING OILS AND CRYSTALS


BLENDING OILS AND CRYSTALS


This post is contributed by One Drop member – Faith Teo

Recently I have been playing with blending oils and crystals together. While the concept isn’t brand new, I noticed that there wasn’t much info on how to pair oils and crystals together.

So here’s some fascinating info about crystals before we dive into choosing the crystals for the blends you want to make:

Do you know that crystals are also found in watches? Crystals are used to regulate the movements of the watch mechanism hence this is where the term “quartz movement” is coined. Clear quartz vibrates at 32768 times per second and ensures your watch is always accurate on time. High end watches have gems like Sapphire!

In the past i have used crystals to “store data”. I call crystals, Mother Nature’s thumb drives. 😉 When we hold crystals and meditate, or even just holding and thinking of stuff, the crystals respond. This is why when you buy crystals from shops, the staff will always place them in a “singing bowl” to reset the “data” or cleanse the energy within as crystals before you start using them. I’ve also held crystals (Amazonite, Clear Quartz, Milky Quartz, Honey Calcite) as I speak to my downlines over the phone to help me communicate with clear intention and sense my downlines’ unspoken state of mind / feelings too.

In our mothers and grandmas’ times, many Chinese women wear jade bangles and report that the longer they wore, the prettier and more translucent the jade gotten. Chinese believe that our body’s energy or qi has been absorbed into the jade and thus transforming it. This is especially apparent if you do Tai Qi exercises and wear a jade bangle – you may find that the bangle is glowing!

When choosing crystals, touch and hold them and let your intuition guide you. Get the ones you naturally gravitate to THEN google for the benefits of that crystal. You may be amazed to find out that HOW PERFECT that crystal is meant for you!

When I create an essential oil blend, sometimes I wanted to intensify or amplify the effect of it especially when I want to gift it to people who really needed that extra boost. In our oily world, you could add Copaiba but given that I prefer not to disrupt the blend in its original eo ratios, I add clear quartz chips in the bottle instead. 😉

In the photo are the crystal chips I have picked and here’s a brief rundown on what each crystal is for and what oils you can pair with. You can Google too to get the full write up of the benefits of each crystal and of course you are not limited to the ones I have picked.



CLEAR QUARTZ

I use these as an amplifier to any oils I add this to. Clear quartz also promote clear thinking and clears the mind of negative thinking as well. This is the MASTER of all healing crystals as it ALSO amplify the benefits of other crystals as well. So you could add other crystals + clear quartz with your oils.

Suggested oils – Any singles or blends really! I like to pair it with Transformation, Believe and Clarity as well.

GOLDEN QUARTZ

Similar properties as Clear Quartz but has the additional properties of assisting healing at all levels – mental, emotional, physical and tunes the body to recognise what it needs to recover.

Suggested oils – Sacred Mountain, White Angelica, Idaho Blue Spruce, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Sacred Frankincense

ROSE QUARTZ

The crystal of love! Self love, romantic love, any kind of love.

Suggested oils – Joy, Jasmine, Rose, Lady Sclareol

AMETHYST

Comforts people in grief, enhances creativity, passion and intelligence. Also helps refines intuition and thought processes.

Suggested oils – Trauma Life, Live Your Passion, Inspiration, Frankincense, Motivation

AMBER

Remember amber teething necklaces that help babies to relieve teething discomfort? Amber while strictly is not a crystal but a resin, has properties that help alleviate pain and discomfort ANYWHERE.

Suggested Oils – Hahha for compliance reasons, I can’t say but look at your eo book or app to search for the appropriate oils. 😉

PERIDOT

Fantastic for respiratory support, eyes, stomach, thyroid and liver. Peridot also alleviate anger, fear, nervousness and jealousy.

Suggested oils – For the first part, please look up your eo resources for the suggested oils for the same areas. For emotions, Stress Away, Transformation, Valor, Tranquil

CITRINE

This is the crystal that stimulates mental power and helps to focus. It brings happiness, joy, and positivity in life by eliminating the negative energies and vibes. Citrine is one crystal that does not accumulate or hold negative energy, in fact it transforms negativity into positive energy. One of the rare crystals that do not require cleansing and is also the crystal you want to have for financial prosperity!

Suggested oils – Abundance, Brain Power, Clarity, Joy, Live With Passion
