Cooking With Essential Oils

cooking with essential oils

Cooking with Essential Oils has gotten even friendlier now with Young Livings Vitality Line (which you get some with the Premium Starter Kit sale I have going on). All of the oils in this line are labeled as safe for internal use. So there is no reason at all to not get started kicking up your meals with these little bottles of goodness. Remember, when cooking with oils, a little goes a long way! For some of these you won't even need a full drop. Dip a toothpick in the bottle and swirl it in the recipe. Talk about saving money!!!

I got the TILE out and attached it easily to my keychain and then installed the TILE app on phone. In a few clicks the app recognized my TILE and I was good to go. But I realized something cool. Not only could my phone find my keys, my keys could find my phone. TOO COOL. What to do with the other one? Easy. I gave it to my husband who set his up the same way and then we "shared" TILES. Now I could find his keys and vice versa. This was getting fun. So I headed to Verizon and bought a 4 pack for $69.99. I Tiled ALL THE THINGS. My purse, kids keys and so on, my car. What? Your car? I can hear you thinking. Yup. Because if I ever am at the mall and can't find my car (don't laugh, I have a *friend* who does this all the time).  I can open the app on my phone and follow the map to my car. Now ...
