Check out this article about ultra processed food making up more than half of all calories in US diet. Based on research,  90% of these calories contain added sugars contributing to epidemic obesity rates and diabetes. 

Eating from scratch and nature help us simplify our diet. Don't be fast, cheap, or easy. Remember, you are what you eat!

DIY Night tomorrow!

If you guys could bring some extra glass mason jars, bottles, and spray bottles that would be awesome! I want to make sure everyone has something to make! Also, if you have recently ordered an oil kit, bring it! Learn how to experiment and experience your essential oils.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a staple spice at my house! I put in my coffee and cook and bake with it all the time. Did you know cinnamon oil has even more benefits? It's a lot more potent and lots of medicinal properties too. It's very helpful in regulating blood sugar. It's a powerful antioxidant and helps support a healthy immune system. Cinnamon oil is also an aphrodisiac that can be diluted and mixed with fractionated coconut oil for a pleasant warm massage.

Healthy quick recipe to try!

2 sliced apples

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 drop doTERRA cinnamon oil

A few dashes of cinnamon spice

Sauté in pan on med-low heat until it smells amazing and apples are soft. Enjoy!

Eat ALL the grapefruit!

Did you know grapefruit does amazing things for your body inside and out? Grapefruit contains natural enzymes that work with your bodies digestive system and metabolism. Half a grapefruit with breakfast in the morning is a great way to start your day and ramp metabolism.

Grapefruit essential oil can be used to infuse water. Just like lemons, it acts as a natural detox for the body. It can also be used in natural cleaners and face products, such cleansers and exfoliants. Grapefruit has a clean uplifting smell to help brighten your day!

Next Tuesday night is our DIY night. This might be something you would want to create your own natural recipe for your home or body🌿🍊🍋.

The most important meal of the day!

Breakfast is my favorite! I could eat breakfast for every meal. I hope everyone is enjoying FarmHouse Delivery. The grapefruits that came in the large bushels are amazing! 

Also, thank you so much to everyone that came to the skin clinic last night! It was a hit! Everyone left with a special gift to experience. I will post some made recipes from the skin line I created.
