Easy Pan Seared Cod Recipe

March 21, 2019 No Comments
Share:

Y’all are not going to believe how super easy this recipe is.

I had picked up some cod fillets from the seafood counter a few days ago and kind of forgot that I hadn’t cooked it yet. I also forgot about the baby bella mushrooms I’d picked up on the same day. Good news is this recipe accommodated all of my random refrigerator holdings and turned out to be date-night delicious. Like, pretty darn amazing and super simple restaurant quality delicious.

The only chopping I did was slice the mushrooms, cut down the cod into smaller serving sizes, and halved a lemon.

Thieves: Waterless Hand Purifier + Spray

December 12, 2018 No Comments
Share:

I have a love/hate relationship with the mall. I can’t be the only one?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I love that we took the boys to meet Phillip Lindsay (Denver Broncos rookie RB) and get autographs yesterday! 😃 🤩

I hate seeing 3 boys touching everything that doesn’t break in one of the germiest places in town, then snacking while we waited in line, that I can’t follow them into the men’s room to police the hand washing, then seeing them touch their own faces, rub eyes, or noses, THEN, picture them coming towards me for a hug or to touch my face or whisper in my ear (also by pulling my face closer with those germy hands!)! 😳 😷 

I love my boys, but I do not love their germs! 

I also do not love hidden toxins found in most “anti-bacterial” products, how they dry my hands out, are overly fragranced (ps: “fragrance” is not regulated and can be masking the smell of chemicals and cause hormone disruption) or blatantly smell like alcohol. 🤢

The story behind Thieves essential oil blend: it was inspired by the legend of 15th century French thieves who formulated an aromatic blend of clove, rosemary, lemon, to use on themselves while robbing the dead and dying. They didn’t get sick (but they did get caught!😉). This powerhouse combination may help support our overall wellness and (*BONUS*) it doesn’t contain any hormone disrupting chemicals or toxins. 🍃 

If I’m planning a trip to the mall for Holiday shopping, a flight, a sporting event, an outdoor parade, or any other human interaction where I can’t easily wash up quickly, I am always traveling with these gems. 🙌 🙌

Think of it like herd protection: 
A) to keep other people’s germs off me
B) to keep myself above the wellness line
C) to keep my germs off you
D) to keep you above the wellness line

So, do you think you have enough herd protection? How are you protecting your herd? 💪😷🙅🏻‍♀️ 

Ask me for more info about Young Living with the Anchor Droppers team.  It’s been a game changer for our family. Plus, for the next 12 days, we are running a new member bonus! Yay for free things, account credits, and discounts on products to support your overall health and wellness! ❤️

Diffuser Blends for Christmas | Non-Toxic Alternatives to Candles

December 3, 2018 No Comments
Share:

Christmas season is upon us and I’m on a plan to try as many Christmas diffuser recipes as I can.  One for every day and one for every evening of the month!  There is just something so nostalgic about walking into a home that smells so inviting and warm and merry that you can almost taste the sugar cookies, the candy canes or the holiday punch.  You can almost feel the warm pjs and cozy blankets being wrapped around you!

Here are a few of my favorite diffuser ideas and recipes to get you started on your Christmas diffusing journey to warm up your house and welcome family & guests this holiday season.  And a few diffuser vs candles facts to ponder…

Young Living Diffuser Blends for Christmas | www.fireflytales.net

I’m sure you all have heard the hype about our long beloved candles of yesteryear being extremely toxic to our health.  Being the skeptic that I am, I did a bunch of research and found that, yep, some candles ARE indeed TOXIC to our health!  Google these words and let me know what you find: synthetic fragrance risks, paraffin wax dangers, or any combination of paraffin wax, candle wicks and synthetic fragrance dangers and let me know what you find.  It won’t be pretty.  There are some scary words being thrown around as side effects and risks associated with burning candles in your home.  A common practice for many households, including mine growing up!

Some people might say, “but I’m fine! I grew up with it and just look at me – I’m fine!” … but are we?  How many issues are we facing these days that we consider so commonplace that we have accepted them as “normal” when maybe we could better manage them if we eliminated even 1 small thing like toxic synthetic fragrances, toxic paraffin wax and toxic candle wicks from our homes?  Skin sensitivities, digestive sensitivities, lung sensitivities, head tension frequency?

Right, so get those candles out of your homes, and consider this:

  1. A Christmas scented candle with 25 hour burn time may cost you around $35
  2. Using your Young Living diffuser to diffuse 4 drops each of Cinnamon Bark and Christmas Spirit (a blend of Orange, Cinnamon and Black Spruce) will cost you $1.97 for 4 hours of diffusing OR $12.20 for 25 hours of diffusing.

Let that sink in for a minute before you say that essential oils are expensive.  Let it also sink in that part of that cost for Young Living Essential Oils guarantees you their ‘Seed to Seal’ promise which means they highly inspect and quality control the farms they own, the distillation process all the way to the bottling process.  Pure, therapeutic grade, essential oils shouldn’t cost $5 from the bargin bin at the grocery store or bulk goods stores.  Anyone selling or buying that should consider the cost savings there may be due to fillers or low-grade, poorly distilled, oils.  I only trust Young Living with my family!

The Young Living Premium Starter Kit is an investment in your health and wellness.  With numbers and stats like the above, even I can’t dispute that the benefits far outweigh the costs!  Plus, the wholesale membership (24% off future wholesale orders?! Wha?!) and rewards  points BACK TO YOU for FREE oils and product when you take advantage of the optional monthly subscription box offering is off the hook. These were deals I couldn’t pass up!

For more info on how to get your wholesale membership discount and kit with me, click here.

If you already know this is the change you’ve been waiting for  and are ready to get your wholesale membership and kit with me, click here.  Make sure my member # shows up as the sponsor and enroller: 3863971

*For the month of December, I am offering a $20 credit for new enrollments / members who sign up with me!*

The time is NOW! Aren’t you ready to jump in?!  Keep in mind, this isn’t your mom’s MLM.  You never have to sell anything EVER.  I promise (unless you really want to, I can hook you up with the right people to guide you on the business side of this journey).  This is all about YOU and your FAMILY and removing toxins from your home and replacing them with toxin-free, natural products to increase your overall wellness.

Be sure to fill out this form once you’ve enrolled with me (#3863971) so I can process your credit, get you access to our secret FB pages with more education and resources to get the most out of your oils and properly welcome you to our Anchor Droppers team!

Comment below with your favorite diffuser recipes!  I love when we’re all sharing all the goodness of all.the.oils!

xoxo, p

 

{*$20 credit is only eligible to new wholesale members signing up in the month of Dec 2018 who have selected me (#3863971) as the enroller and sponsor. Must fill out the form to be eligible for PayPayl or Venmo credit which will be processed in January 2019}

Hocus Pocus Book of Spells Cookies

October 15, 2018 No Comments
Share:

“Oh Booooook” !

Who doesn’t love them some Winifred Sanderson and Hocus Pocus at Halloween?! It’s a classic, for sure.  I watch it every year and it’s honestly, one of my favs.

I remember being totally freaked out by the eye ball in the Book of Spells when I was a kid.  Now, watching it as an adult, it seems so fake, but still, really cool…and creepy.  Creepy enough to turn into a Halloween treat?  Sure!

Do-it-Yourself Hocus Pocus Cookies | www.fireflytales.net

And super easy.  Like, almost, too easy.

Get a box of chocolate covered cookies. Any kind that are square or rectangular. I found peanut butter filled chocolate covered cookies and mint chocolate cookie chocolate covered cookies (think Girl Scout Thin Mint knock-off, but square!).

Add pre-made black colored frosting in a tube and a package of candy eyes and you’re ready to roll!

Put a blob of black icing on one side (right side) of the cookie, or dot on the back of the candy eye.  Overfill it a bit so that when you press down on the cookie, it oozes out and makes a black boarder.  Use the black frosting tube and draw a squiggle on the opposite side (left side).  Add some stitch marks and extra lines and BOOM, you’ve got a spell book that old Winnie herself might come after.

Hocus Pocus Cookies | www.fireflytales.net

The lumpier and uglier the cookie, the more realistic it is that it’s a book with skin stitched together as a cover!  Ewwww, gross, right?  I bet it will taste delicious.  And it will make a great treat for Halloween parties.

Hocus Pocus Cookies | www.fireflytales.net

Watch out for those Sanderson sisters!  Happy Halloween, y’all!

Instagram post 2272265904946805462_9478705541 Before settling in to work from home today, I loaded up my diffuser with this trio and stepped out of my comfort zone and participated in a virtual yoga flow.  Oh how my soul needed it! 💗
⠀⠀
💧Frank (2) to increase my spiritual awareness, deepen my meditation, improve my attitude, uplift my spirit and keep me grounded. ⠀⠀
💧Peppermint (2) to stimulate my mind and help me focus ⠀⠀
💧Tangerine (3) to promote happiness and calming and combat irritability ⠀⠀ Biggest takeaway from my flow was consciously make an effort to SMILE every day 😀 ⠀⠀ I know these times are scary and there is so much unknown but we also have community and love and light. I hope you find time today to find something to smile about. ⠀⠀ STAY IN and spread joy to those in your social distancing circles as best you can. ❤️
Instagram post 2263483285362807049_9478705541 Does anyone need me to order Thieves Cleaner (ultra concentrated), Thieves Spray, or small Thieves Hand Sanitizers for them? 🙋🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀
I’m putting in my monthly rewards order and an happy to hook you up 😘
⠀⠀
I’m a firm believer that effective cleaning products shouldn’t include toxic warnings or fake fragrance, especially when I’m using them around my kiddos, on things they touch and surfaces they eat from or am gifting to pregnant mom-to-be’s or sending to use in the kids’ classrooms 🌿
⠀⠀
Google “Thieves Chicken Test” or “Cleaning Products Lung Function” to see why we switched. There are plenty of articles supporting the power of plant based cleaners and many against VOCs; none penned by me but plenty to be eye opening 🤢😳
⠀⠀
My wholesale discount with Young Living is like my Prime membership for good-for-you cleaning products, bath, hair, makeup, AND oils. When everyone started going crazy stockpiling sketch-for-you cleaning products, I logged in ONLINE and put in my order for all kinds of Thieves things and got my package in 2 days. Just sayin 🤓

Instagram post 2043276215343012223_9478705541 These poor flowers got the short-end of the stick yesterday. The lucky ones went home with some incredible baseball moms. The rest got shoved into a bag, into a wagon, sat on by a 5 year old and smooshed by baseball gear in 75 degree heat. 🤦🏻‍♀️

They’re fighters though.

💧 Add 1 drop of Purification to your water to make flowers last longer. 🌹 They not only perked back up but are starting to bloom when I thought for sure they were goners. 😍

My kiddo threw +80 pitches yesterday and really brought the heat. He went 3 innings, only allowing 5 runs off 4 hits and struck out 5. He also hit a triple that might have been an in-park home run except he spent 2 seconds too long watching his ball sail to the fences. 😁 .
