I have always been a tropical girl, born and raised in a country blessed with constant sunny days. Not surprisingly, I have low tolerance towards cold. But I did not hesitate when the opportunity presented itself to participate in Winter Harvest at Fort Nelson in Canada. Even with its harsh winter where the temperature can be as low as -35 Celcius during the day; I jumped at the chance to join 14 other OneDroppers.
But to battle the cold, we have to be very prepared. So for this trip, other than 5 layers of clothes, socks, gloves, hat, heat packs, etc; I prepared some oils & supplements to keep me warm & strong despite of the extreme climate change.
Below is what I use and also plus some other tips from our fellow harvesters:
NORCE – Me
Oils:
- Lemongrass + Eucalyptus Blue, layered on soles, morning (before going out) and night.
- Light The Fire, on soles, before or after Lemongrass + Eucalyptus Blue.
- En-R-Gee, 3-4 drops on palm, rub and press against adrenal area.
- Copaiba for chilled fingers
I only use these 4 oils and it really kept me warm thru the whole trip. I use the oils neat, adjust with your own preference & comfort level. At one point, my fingertips were a bit swollen and painful due to the extreme cold. Kai suggested to use Copaiba and the discomforts was managed quite immediately, so I kept using it through out the trip.
Supplements:
- Inner Defense, twice a day. Use more as needed.
- Longevity, twice a day. Use more as needed.
- Ningxia Red, I only take 60ml per day. Sometimes I forgot 😛.
- Digest and Cleanse, once a day when I remember to.
I also brought along a box of Ningxia Nitro but didn’t take it as much as I did at home. The cold weather made me happy and alert.
Skin care:
- Lavender Body Lotion on my body twice a day before going out and after nighttime shower. Because of ZERO humidity there, the lotion was absorbed very fast. I was worried if I would get cold rash, but fortunately that didn’t happened.
- Alot of Boswellia Wrinkle Cream for face and neck, morning and night, re-apply as necessary. *The cream sponsored by Dana Neo 😝.
- Lastly, the Young Living Lipbalm is a must!
JESSIE NEO
Oils:
- Thieves on sole, day and night before wearing socks.
- En-R-Gee on sole in the day before wearing socks.
- Idaho Balsam Fir on chest at night to open up airways.
Supplements:
- Ningxia red
- Ningxia Nitro
Both are a must in the morning.
Skincare:
- Frankincense & Cedarwood on face
- Lots of Bowellia Wrinkle Cream and Sheerlume
GRACE KHUAH
Oils:
- Thieves
- Clove
- Ginger
- Light The Fire
Layer on feet & tummy.
Supplements:
- Ningxia Red
- Inner Defense
Skincare:
- Regenelone
- Sheerlume
- Wolfberry Eye Cream
- Boswellia Wrinkle Cream
- Myrrh
- Geranium
- Carrot Seed
- Sandalwood Moisture Cream
My skin is very dry. I use Regenolene for body, for the face I used Sheerlume, Wolfberry Eye cream and Bowellia Wrinkle cream plus Myrrh, Geranium and Carrot Seed. I have wind burn after playing snow mobile. Was painful and numb so I added lavender and Ranna offered me Sandalwood Moisture cream. Next day it was ok 😊 Otherwise Sarah (our host there) said I will be experiencing sunburn 😊 The skin on my nose was dry too. I apply Young Living lip balm whenever I needed extra moisturising and it worked as well!
RANNA SEAH
Oils:
- Journey On – very haolian about this as its a special edition blend created for World Peace Caravan
- Dorado Azul – apply direct on chest as I have a prolonged cough and this really helped strengthened my lungs
- Thieves – under tongue for immune support
- Ginger on tailbone for warmth
- Geranium – this oil kept me warm very very well too and I will apply on my face, tailbone and inner thigh
- Carrot Seed and Myrrh on Face (I went neat) against tanning by the sun rays reflected by the snow
Supplements:
- ImmuPro – for immune support and sleep but I forsake it when we have to standby at night for Northern Lights
- BLM – this is a must for me aching joints from the harvesting, pulling and lifting of luggage
- Ningxia red – 60ml per day, I went up to 120ml per day sometimes and it really helped my bowel movement and also allowed me to wear my contact lens without discomfort
Skincare:
- ART Toner – I never feel comfortable putting anything on my face without toning
- Boswellia Wrinkle Cream on face and neck and body if I forgot my Sandalwood moisture cream
- Sandalwood Moisture Cream for body
- YL Lipbalm

I begin my oily journey with Young Living back in 2014 when my daughter was already 4 years old. After we started oiling, I find that the quality of my sleep returned to back when I was a teenager. I was able to sleep so soundly…especially since my then 4 years old…stopped waking in the middle of the night with fever or stuffy nose. YIPPPEEE!!!
Alright~ So I was feeling so much more energized and so much more younger! Something stirred in me and I find myself being drawn to our collection named “Feelings Kit”.So I did some research on it and I saw this promise by Gary Young (founder of Young Living). Gary said, “Use the Feelings Kit. Apply feeling oils before work and every night before bed. Do this for 30 days and you will change your life.”
Wow! How will it change my life? How do I know I need to get out the kit? I realised that I have very bad tendency to procrastinate since I was young. I even so nearly jeopardised my chance at a scholarship to Japan to study art. I was given about 1 month to work on a new portfolio but I procrastinated and didn’t produce anything until the interview was on the next day!!! CLOSE SHAVE! It is God’s miracle that I managed to churn out 15 sketches that night. I still didn’t get the scholarship eventually but it could have much much been worse if I have had no portfolio to show for my interview. I could have ruined my entire career! This is a problem and it is very serious. I’ve tried to cope around it…but I know I need to change. This seems like a God-sent solution via Gary Young and Young Living. Maybe I could really get rid of this bad behaviour once and for all! I need to get on the kit!
There are only 6 oil blends in the Feelings Kit! And if you are curious how to use them, read on~
Feelings Kit Regime
Step 01: Valor oil blend is an empowering combination of spruce, rosewood, blue tansy, and frankincense essential oils. Renowned for its strengthening qualities and ability to align energy in the body. Apply Valor to the feet as the first step of the Cleansing of feelings.
Step 02: Harmony oil blend brings a harmonic balance to the energy centres of the body using lavender, sandalwood, and ylang ylang and other essential oils. Apply Harmony on the chakra points to allow negative energy to escape.
Step 03: Forgiveness oil blend is an uplifting combination formulated with melissa, geranium, frankincense, and other essential oils. Forgiveness allows the release of harmful memories and promotes a willingness to move forward. Apply Forgiveness to the navel and let go of negative emotions.
Step 04: Present Time oil blend promotes feelings of living in the moment. The blend of neroli, spruce, and other essential oils allow you to see the future with an open mind for new possibilities. Apply Present Time to the wrists and behind the ears.
Step 05: Release oil blend facilitates the ability to release anger and frustration using ylang ylang, lavandin, geranium, and other essential oils. Release promotes harmony and balance of the mind and body. Apply over the liver and wait as feelings of frustration are uplifted.
Step 06: Inner Child oil blend stimulates memory response and helps reconnect with the authentic self. The combination of orange, tangerine, jasmine, lemongrass, neroli, and other essential oils provide a sweet, childlike fragrance. Apply 1–2 drops of Inner Child just under your nose to open the pathway to connecting with your inner self.
Step 07: Lastly, re-apply Valor essential oil to complete the Cleansing of feelings. Valor locks in the feelings of completeness and balance.
6 oils and 7 steps…not so hard right?
I remembered while I was on the kit, I realised that I had a emotional detox around Day 21. The previous night I was tearing non-stop and feeling all emotional…while the next day, I was laughing non-stop at something not so funny said by my colleague. I was laughing so hard that my other colleagues were puzzled and wondering out loud…”Got so funny meh???”
Then I caught myself and realised I am having an emotional detox!!!
So did the kit worked for me? I think it sure did. For starters, I am clearer and more precise in working towards my goals. Secondly, I was able to communicate clearer and ask for help instead of thinking people will turn me down and stressing myself out with all the ‘what ifs’. My ‘maybe’ turned into ‘let’s give it a shot’! I was gaining more confidence and focus in my life. 🙂

SPIDERS HATE…
This post is contributed by One Drop member – Ranna Seah.
Last Sunday, I was cleaning up my daughter’s room (which is seldom occupied as she co-sleeps with us) when I discovered quite a few spiders crawling around the walls, on her bedsheets etc. Eeekkkkk! Luckily I remembered this image:
So I pulled out the diffuser quickly and started to diffuse Peppermint and Purification! (Keeping mozzies away as well) I was whining half the time…”Eeek Spiders! Yucks! Spiders!!!” while wondering how long do I need to diffuse the oils for? Then the hero of the household appeared with … TADAH – A VACUM CLEANER!!!!
The daddy appeared with a hand-held vacuum cleaner and sucked away all the spiders in sight. Sigh. Relief. Our Hero 
For more information why we should keep spiders out of the house with a safer and more organic option: http://www.deadpestz.com/does-peppe…
I shall be diffusing Peppermint and Purification more diligently from now on. The scent is just so heavenly calming. 
I’ve also started to develop a habit of carrying Peppermint and Lemongrass around with me when we go to the beach, walks in the garden and etc. Singapore is a lovely green city with plenty of greenery and healthy active mosquitoes and ants. Just a drop of Peppermint on our picnic mat, keeps all the ants away. It’s really a miracle to witness. I used to hate picnics as I would be busy fighting ants off half the time, but not anymore!
And Lemongrass? It works awesomely at discouraging the mosquitoes from kissing us as well as relieving the itch from their kisses. Never have I enjoyed outdoor time so much as before Young Living came into my life.

Disclaimer: I downloaded the article quite a while ago and I regret to say that I didn’t note down the source taken from. Please let me know if you know who is the original writer of this article. I will like to credit the person.
Every cell in your body needs a unique combination of nutrients to thrive. Example: we all know that our bones need calcium. Without calcium we have osteoporosis. The truth is our body uses MANY different nutrients ~ essential oils, minerals, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, fats & even water to clean, repair & build NEW HEALTHY cells. When the RIGHT nutrients are not available or can not be absorbed — our body will make due with what it can find. Our body was created to repair itself NO MATTER what we do to it. That lack of proper building material causes damage to the body. We see the effect of that lack when an older person breaks a hip. That same lack was obvious BEFORE the hip was broken. There was pain in the joints BEFORE the break. EVERY organ responds the same way…the deficit in necessary nutrients causes dis-ease!!
Nutrients & building blocks that your eyes use to rebuild cells: When it comes to vision there are nutrients that have been tested over & over again in the medical community that have proven that your eyes thrive on antioxidants, Carotenoids ~ Zeaxanthin & Lutein, Essential fatty Acids ~ DHA, EPA & ALA, trace minerals & Macro Minerals ~ calcium, magnesium & sulfur, vitamins B, C & D. Just knowing what your eyes need to build with is HUGE!!
Finding a source for those building blocks that the body can absorb & utilize is PRICELESS!! Below you will find a list of the Young Living Products you can use for eye health:
- Water – drink ½ our body weight in ounces daily (ok this is not from Young Living)
- NingXia Red – Massive Antioxidant SOD, Carotenoids in proper balance 278 mg zeaxanthin & 2 mg Lutein per gram of dried Wolf berries, essential oil of lemon & orange
- Mineral Essence – Over 60 Trace Minerals, when mineral balance is out of balance we have disease.
- Super B – In a study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that women who took a combination of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 had a 35 percent to 40 percent lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration than the women who took a placebo.
- Super C – The eye has the highest concentration of vitamin C of any other organ in the body. Before a cataract forms, the lens of the eye becomes completely devoid of vitamin C and also glutathione.
- MegaCal – A wonderful source of calcium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin C. MegaCal supports normal ocular, bone and vascular health as well as normal nerve function and contains 205 mg of calcium and 187 mg of magnesium per serving.
- Omega Blue – Essential fatty Acids – DHA, EPA & ALA With the addition of Clove, Myrrh, German (Blue) Chamomile & Lemon Grass Essential Oil & our Precision Delivery coating triples omega-3 absorption by releasing these stable, bioactive nutrients directly in the intestines make Omega Blue 10x more potent then fish oil alone!!
- Sulfurzyme – Sulfur is essential for the healthy growth of every cell in the body including the eyes. It equalizes water pressure inside the cells. What is the eye??? It is one of the top 5 antioxidant minerals in the body
- Pregnenolone – Master steroid hormone in the body. It continually turns itself into the hormones you are lacking for repair
- Longevity Capsule – Ultra-Antioxidant – Thyme, orange, clove, and frankincense essential oils. Test subjects receiving a daily dose of thyme oil had higher levels of DHA than those who did not take the supplement.
- Ultra Young – Naturally helps the pineal gland to begin secreting HGH (Human Growth Hormone). That is the hormone that tells the body to keep replacing old cell.
- Multi Greens – MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils.
- Frankincense, Copaiba, Clove & Lemon Essential Oil – rubbed on eye points –NOT IN THE EYES!
