Weight Loss Blend

DIY Slimmer & Sassier Blend #2
{my fav for sleep}_____________________________________


This is a Do It Yourself Gem!  Before doTERRA's Slim and Sassy Blend was introduced, Dr. Hill recommended this blend for weight loss: 1 drop cinnamon, 2 drops each of grapefruit, ginger and lemon.  Because SS has peppermint, I've tweaked the recipe by adding peppermint:

Single Shot Glass, Water Glass or Gel Cap Serving: 

1 drop cinnamon bark {helps to metabolize sugar}
2 drops ginger  {helps cells to release fat}
2 drops peppermint  {decrease appetite, reduce cravings}
2 drops lemon
2 drops grapefruit  {grapefruit and lemon both contain limonene.  Studies show that limonene can slow the increase of fat cells and, reduce the size of fat cells in a process called lipolysis.}

To Fill a 15ml Empty Bottle (almost):

20 drops cinnamon bark
40 drops ginger
40 drops peppermint
40 drops lemon
40 drops grapefruit

This blend works as an appetite suppressant, lots of people enjoy it in their drinking water throughout the day.  Sounds crazy I know but this is my favorite sleep aid blend!!  No kidding, I roll this on my feet and pads of toes and sleep like the proverbial log.   Why does this work for sleep too?  The EOs balance blood sugar and calm adrenals, often the culprit for keeping us awake at night.




Weight Loss with Bergamot



DIY Slimmer & Sassier Blend  #1
{my personal fav}____________________________________

1 part Bergamot
1 part Frankincense
1 part Wild Orange

Fill a glass bottle to your liking.  I use an empty 15ml bottle, fill with equal parts of all three EOs then top with a glass eye dropper.

For adults:  6 drops under tongue or in a shot glass of water etc. At least 3x a day, 4 is better!  It's a bitter blend, don't say I didn't warn you but, you can do it.  A piece of gum comes in real handy throughout the day, trust me.

What has this blend done for me?  I feel like I'm metabolizing food much quicker and my thoughts are clearer and lest I forget to mention the really good stuff ~ jeans are looser!
Remember, you need to be consistent and take your 6 drops at least 3x a day.
