CONVENTION 2017 OTHER PRODUCTS
This post is contributed by One Drop member – Kaye Ng.
I know I know, the excitement doesn’t end. There were so many new products being launched this year! 😍
Lets go through this one by one.
*I’m leaving out the seedlings range for now if not my post will be CRAZILY long*
DESERT MIST DIFFUSER
Young Living’s Desert Mist Ultrasonic Diffuser is a brand-new, custom-designed diffuser made to look like a beautiful and elegant vase. IS IT NOT PREEETTTYYY?!?!?! ❤️ It functions as a humidier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser. 🙃 The Desert Mist also offers multiple settings—High, Low, and Intermittent. On high, it runs approximately 5 hours continuously, on low – at 8 hours and the intermittent mode runs approximately 10 hours.
The Desert Mist is designed to run longer and offer more features including 10 LED colored light options *swooon*, including an alluring candle-like flicker mode.
AMINOWISE
AminoWise is more than just an amino acid supplement. It is triple-targeted with branched chain amino acids for muscle building and repair, polyphenol and antioxidants for recovery, and a hydrating mineral blend to replace important minerals that are lost during exercise.
I’ve personally been looking for a healthy BCAA supplement and was so excited that this came out! 👊🏻
It supports muscles during and after exercise, reduces lactic acid build up through a complex blend of antioxidants and minerals, supports the production of nitric oxide improving vascular blood flow, AND contains branched chain amino acids which aid in preventing muscle catabolism from exercise!
SUPER CAL PLUS
There are plenty of calcium supplements you can choose from, but Super Cal Plus was created to offer more than just calcium and minerals—it’s a true bone-health supplement.
With a synergistic blend of bio-available calcium, magnesium, vitamins D and K, and other trace minerals derived from red algae harvested off the coast of Iceland, Super Cal Plus supports the structure, integrity, and density of bones and teeth. This is done by supporting supporting the body’s ability to resorb bone tissue (osteoclasts) and deposit new bone tissue (osteoblasts).
Don’t take your bone health for granted even when you are young. Good support should start now and not when you are broken!

SAVVY MINERALS TIPS AND TRICKS
This post is contributed by One Drop member – Kaye Ng
Ok, lets be honest, using mineral make up is not always the easiest. If it was the EASIEST, CHEAPEST and MOST CONVENIENT was of putting on makeup, all those other toxic versions out there would simply not be selling. But there are ways and tips to make your make up experience with the Savvy Minerals range a breeze – here’s sharing my 10 tips with you.
- Right Brushes – Brushes are important. Make sure they are not too huge for the cover size. If your brush is too big, you will end up making a huge mess as you try to dip, tap and swirl your mineral make up off. Also you may find that the pigments are then on a different area of the brush and will not help in proper coverage of your face. SO make sure the brush you use is not TOOO BIG!
- Dip, Tap and Swirl – If you don’t want to have sudden chunks of colour on your face, it is VERY important to remember these steps. First, DIP your brush gently into the powder. You will then get alot of powder/pigments stuck to your brush. DO NOT PUT IT ON YOUR FACE AT THIS POINT! You will get a huge colour block on your face and will look like you belong instead on the chinese opera stage. 😂 Secondly, SWIRL your brush on the side of your makeup cap to allow the pigments to be covered around the bristles. Lastly, TAP your brush at the edge of the cap. This ensures that the excess pigments fall off the brush.
- Layer It – The make up range is very very forgiving, HOWEVER, it doesn’t mean that its coverage is not good. So start with covering your entire face with a foundation evenly, and then slowly build up over areas that are more problematic. Such as if you wish to cover up redness or freckles. Remember that this is NOT a concealer. It is not going to cover it 100%, but it will instead give you a nice even colour and fade imperfections. So if you want to look nice and even colored, remember to cover your whole face first then build up over the problem areas.
- Circular Motions – To blend your makeup into your skin so you don’t look like you placed a horizontal swipe on your face or to ensure you look nice and natural, always remember to apply your make up in a circular motion. Esp for your foundation. This will help to blend your makeup into your skin nicely.
- Keep Blending – I can’t stop emphasizing this to people. When you look into the mirror and you think that your foundation, blusher or eyeshadow is already nicely blended togther, BLEND AGAIN. It is most important to do so! You want to look natural right?
- Match your Neck – Remember that your foundation colour should match your neck colour. So when you apply your foundation, remb to also blend down to your neck! If not you will have your face one colour and your neck another colour! 🙈 Just like below 👇🏻 AHHHH NO NO NO!
- Wetter and Darker – If you decide to put on the foundation with water or with a serum etc, expect the SM foundation to go up to 3 shades darker. It will become much more intense in colour. If you are someone who is also prone to oily skin, your foundation colour might also darken in time thanks to oxidization. So choose a shade lighter, or try the make up with a wet brush so you can see how the colour will appear on your skin. My own personal preference for my skin is that i always use the foundation dry. I prefer to blend it in and work it up, then to use a wet brush to get the foundation to stay, as it is harder to blend in a wet foundation, and the colour is immediately darker – which means it is also harder to build up coverage. Test the make up till you get a colour that you are comfortable with.
- Mix It – There are fewer colours now. That is true, though I have no doubt that the range will just grow exponentially. Some colours might be a little too orange for your liking, and others may be a little too pink. Or the Dark 1 foundation may be too dark and the Warm 3 may be too light. What do you do now? MIX THEM! I love the fact that they are all simply mineral pigments. So mix them up evenly and you can achieve the colour you want. My favourite mixing? – On a Whim Lip Stick with Abundant Lip Gloss. 💋 Perfect for me!
- Liquid Foundation – Convert the powdered foundation to a liquid foundation by just mixing the pigments together with your current Young Living moisturizers. I enjoy using a pump of moisturizer in my palm, mixed with some pigments and then applying that onto my face with a brush. Its easy to do and the coverage is “thicker”.
- Concealer – Need a concealer? If you are looking to cover bad eye bags or spots, choose a foundation colour that is perhaps one shade lighter that the one that you use. Mix it with a light serum or moisturizer and use it to cover blemishes. You can also use your existing foundation colour and build up more over the areas you want to cover, blending and buffing it in. After this, continue with you normal foundation and you should be all set!

BLENDS TO MANAGE STRESS
This post is contributed by One Drop Business Manager – Kaye Ng.
Stress is often thrown about and used casually. But stress really affects our bodies in everyway – even physically.
Extracted from Mayo Clinic:
Stress symptoms may be affecting your health, even though you might not realize it. You may think illness is to blame for that nagging headache, your frequent insomnia or your decreased productivity at work. But stress may actually be the culprit. Stress that’s left unchecked can contribute to many health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
Its almost impossible not to be stressed, but there are tons of various ways to manage your stress levels and using the oils is one of the best ways to do so. The smells do not just calm you down, they also work in your body to lower cortisol levels.
Go ahead and try these roller bottle blends and roll it over your heart or even lower back.
Give the roller ball recipes an extra boost and get a good night’s rest or a relaxing atmosphere at home with some diffuser recipes as well.

BLENDS TO HELP SLEEP
This post is contributed by One Drop Business Manager – Kaye Ng.
Sleep is one of those funny things – some days you hate it. Esp when you are tired and have tons of work to do other days you just love to sleep and wish to sleep on and on and on.
Sleep is not JUST for rest, it is VITAL for you body. Your body heals and repairs itself when its resting. So it is important to sleep. Without sleep, you might find yourself tired, cranky and falling sick easily. In fact many people die from overworking their bodies and not getting enough rest. SLEEP IS IMPORTANT. YOU NEED IT.
However with the stressors in our daily life it is not always easy to fall asleep. The oils are great to help you sleep. Either to fall alseep, or to even sleep through the night. Here are some oils to create in a roller bottle to assist you in sleeping soundly. Apply to the bottom of your big toes, or/and your brain stem.
and to seal in the deal, its def gd to be breathing in some oils to feel relaxed and calm – I believe it also helps to keep you in nice deep relaxed sleep through the night.
I hope u find this useful! 🙂 Sleep tight people!
