Life Down a Back Road with Anna

I Believe

I believe we were created to live a life of abundant health and that God gave us the tools to achieve this. We weren’t created to be sick and tired all the time. I believe that the things we have done over time have deteriorated our health. Look around you, how often do you hear the words “I am so tired, stressed, I cannot sleep, depressed, I just can’t keep up” and it goes on and on. We weren’t created to live this way. But we have allowed all of these unhealthy habits to overtake us. There is a better way, we can help ourselves. We have to take charge and say NO MORE!  I am not going to allow all these toxins into my home. We are the gatekeepers. We can choose what comes into our homes. I know we can’t control all of the toxins that we are exposed to but we can limit a lot of it when we choose what products we are using on our bodies, what products we are cleaning our homes with and the food we are putting on our tables.
Young Living has so many Amazing products that can make it easier to choose a healthier way. From their cleaners to their oil infused supplements and of course all of the oils. They were made to support our bodies to function at its highest potential!  From personal experience I can tell you that I have so much more energy when I am consistently using the tools that God gave me to live a life of wellness. We weren’t created to to fall apart, we were created to live life fully. Will you choose to live to your highest potential?  
Be the Gatekeeper of your home. Take time to read what is in your products, take time to read what is in the food you are eating.  I wish you all abundant health!  

Happy Oiling,
Anna



New Product, Yay!!


So excited for all these new products, especially the kids probiotic!  
New makeup!
SPF 50 sunscreen!  Do you know the SPF means that is how much longer you can be in the sun than without sun screen. 
Acne cream!
Cereal and Einkorn wheat!


If you would like to see some of these new products I am having classes in Ione, Heppner, Hermiston, Pendleton and Salem. Each event will be posted in my events as I get them scheduled over the next two days. 

Happy Oiling,

Insect Repellent

Love this stuff!  Perfect for summer time. To take with you pour some into a roller bottle and roll on as needed.   A little goes a long way. Remember to reapply every few hours if you are swimming, just like sunscreen!

Thieves Household Cleaner

Let’s talk Thieves household cleaner!
We are bombarded with toxic chemicals in our homes every day!  Look at all of your household cleaners and their ingredients list, can you even name them?  How about all of the warnings on those bottles?!I don’t know about you but I definitely don’t want to be breathing that garbage!  Use in a well ventilated room? Seriously?  Use gloves? Don’t think so!  All these cleaners have xenoestrogens in them, xenoestrogens are chemical based hormones that cause estrogen dominance in both boys and girls. Here is a great article on xenoestrogens https://adrenalfatiguesolution.com/xenoestrogens/   Here also is a list from the Environmental Working Groups Hall of Shame http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/cleaners_hallofshame/cleaners_hallofshame.pdf

Think about cleaning your floor with chemical cleaners then walking on those same floors with bare feet, or worse yet if you have a little crawler in your house crawling around putting their hands in their mouth!  How about cleaning your counters and then cutting veggies on that same counter. So much exposure! We aren’t going to get into all the personal care products on top of that.

This is where Thieves household cleaner comes in. I love having a product that I can bathe in that I can also clean with!  Formulated with my fave essential oil, Thieves, you know that amazing immune boosting oil. It can be used to clean everything in your home and it is a concentrate that you dilute to whatever cleaning power you need!  Just yesterday I was cleaning my moms kitchen and you know that greasy gunk that gets on anything close to the stove?  Sprayed it with Thieves cleaner and was frustrated at having to scrub to get it off, so I decided to try it straight, no scrubbing at all!  My bottle was quite diluted so who knows maybe I could have had it less diluted for the same result, I can see I am going to have to do an experiment!  

This cleaner is also cost effective.  It is highly concentrated so you need only about a capful in a cup of water. With this ratio, one small bottle will yield you about 29 16oz spray bottles of cleaner. That means it’s under $1 for one spray bottle!  You can even get a a small convenient spray bottle to take with you for cleaning shopping carts, public tables, and so much more!

Here is a recipe for a DIY scrub cleaner:
3 cups baking soda
¾ cup thieves household cleaner
1TBS Distilled white vinegar
30 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. It will be the texture of a paste. Store in an air-tight container or jar. Best if used within three months.

If you aren’t yet a Young Living member you can get a Thieves Starter kit. This is a great way to begin using the amazing power of Thieves!  
There is also a Thieves Essential Rewards Kit available!

Happy Oiling,
Anna

🌿 My Story: From Frustrated Mom to Natural Solutions

There was a time when life felt a lot harder than it needed to be.
I was doing my best to care for my growing family—but when it came to the everyday bumps, bruises, sniffles, and sleepless nights, I felt stuck. Everything I was told to keep “on hand” didn’t sit right with me. I hated relying on over-the-counter medications that only masked symptoms, especially for my little ones.
Then came the allergies.
One of my daughters struggled every spring, and my mama heart knew—there had to be a better way.
During one of those heart-to-hearts with my niece, she told me about a natural product that changed everything for her. I was intrigued, but I waited... for almost a year. I guess I was skeptical, or maybe just overwhelmed.
But that next spring? Her allergies hit hard. I was tired of the cycle.
So I took the leap—and I’m so glad I did.
What started as a simple step turned into a lifestyle shift. The products worked. No more allergy meds. Fewer sick days. More energy. And as I kept learning, I found even more ways to support my family naturally—from seasonal sniffles to emotional stress, and even hormone balance for me as I navigated perimenopause.
Now, instead of feeling helpless, I feel empowered.
And our family is stronger—and healthier—because of it.
If you’re longing for that kind of peace too, I’d love to walk this path with you.
Come learn with me—one simple, natural step at a time.
