Helpers for studies and exams 🎓📚

I dun like studying and I hate exams. When I registered for this #MSPcourse, I thought the exams are just a formality, like the previous courses I have taken.

Was extremely shocked when the trainer said must study hard to pass the 2 exams. It’s a must to read the official text book and supplementary course materials.

To my horror, there’s homework to complete tonight.

See my 3 little greenie helpers.

Stress Away – to help relieve my study and exam stress so I can get down to study effectively. When we are stressed out, we can’t function at our optimal capabilities.

Apply on wrist and on back of neck.

Rosemary – to help boost my memory retention.

Applied this on my scalp and on my temples. 😂 I am using Rosemary to reduce hair fall too. So killing 2 birds with 1 essential oils.

Clarity – to help boost memory and keep me alert. It is recommended to study with Clarity diffusing, and smell the same blend again during exam to help recall what I have studied. God sent indeed!

Diffuse Clarity!

Usually I use them when the kids study. Now I am using for myself. 😂

Wish me luck for my exams k.

I’ve been using commercial laundry soap for many many years before I got to know Young Living Laundry Soap. All the while my hands are so dry and I thought this is the nature of my skin texture #dumboME
About 2 year plus ago my skin condition getting worst when I started to do daily laundry using hands in order for my boy to wear clean uniform daily as I do not want to get extra few pairs #theygrowuptoofast
Wonder why this particular part of my hands is so sensitive, it starts to dry up, crack and bleed after my daily laundry. The only magical eo can help to heal the wound is #helicrysum. Heart pain got to use such expensive oil for my hand instead of face.
There’s once we went for holiday and I rested my hands for 2 weeks. My hand started recover during this period. However, once we back at home and I start my daily laundry job, my hand start to crack and bleed again. Confirm + Chop! The culprit must be the commercial laundry soap which I have been using all the while!
Young Living Singapore brought in this lovely Thieves Laundry Soap in April/May 2016. When I look at the price I was like… WTH..this small bottle laundry soap cost so much?? However looking at my hand condition, I use my PV rebate to redeem a bottle to try #thankstoERprogram
I was so not used to it initially as we are used to have a lot bubbles when doing washing. However, I noticed that the Thieves Laundry Soap is effective in removing stain. I dun need to pour a lot detergent and yet can have clean and bright clothing. Most important is, it also protect my hands from getting rough. I can see my hand start to recover and now I have much smoother hands thanks to Thieves Laundry Soap! I can now use the helicrysum on my face le!
Worth to spend so much on small little bottle of Thieves Laundry Soap? The answer is definitely YES!!

Physical Health vs Emotional Health

Do you ever think that our physical health is very much related to our emotional health? YES. There are link to each other.

Few weeks back I always have runny nose, blocked nose and sneezing non-stop since I wake up in the morning during weekdays. I thought that I’m falling sick so I started to load myself up with #NingxiaRed, Inner Defense and #Longevity. I oil myself more frequent with thieves, all the respiratory oils and also raindrop technique, diffuse thieves, purification in office as the symptom is more serious when I step into office. All these don’t really help me and I only feel great during the weekends. Then the cycle start over again on Monday.

During these period, I was super stressed up by work, so many people giving me last minutes task and keep chasing me until I don’t feel like going to work. I was so moody and feel wanna cry in office. It’s totally no way for me to finish all these work within 1 week, and yet you are telling me you want to have the result the next day. My mind is totally blocked and I couldn’t think of any way to solve my problem. I open up my drawer to search for Inspiration, Motivation, Magnify Your Purpose and Clarity, and hoping they will give me a clearer mind so I can at least complete the really urgent task under the pressure from bosses.

Somehow Stress Away catching my eyeballs. I start to apply it over my wrist, behind my ears, back of neck and deeply inhale. After few rounds of application with Stress Away, the frequency to wrap wanton actually getting lesser and lesser. I do this several times daily when I’m in office. My stress level now is manageable and I can do things faster too!

Less stress = Happier = Healthier = Efficient

Steffie-Skincare-Secrets-Series Part 6

I just got to talk about my newest skincare product that I absolutely love! How can wait soooo long before finally getting a tub of this to use on my face! THE ART CREME MASQUE!

The first night I used the ART Creme Masque, I applied a thin layer of it all over my face and neck. The creme is absorbed almost immediately, and my fingers feel silky smooth too. So after 20 minutes, I used a warm towel to wipe off the creme. (Now I still feel silly about wiping off the creme) My skin feel silky smooth, hydrated and my freckles looked lighter. I’m very surprised by the effects.

So the instruction on the packaging says, either apply on face and wipe off after 20-25 mins, or leave on overnight to deepen the effectiveness of the creme. After which, I always apply a slightly thicker layer and leave on overnight, and I will wake up next morning with hydrated and glowing skin.

I must say the ART Creme Masque costs alot lesser than my usual sleep mask, and the effect is so much better! I’m so not buying my old sleep mask anymore, its expensive, I can’t ditch it, I think I’m going to finish using it. Maybe I will use my old sleep mask after I finish using my ART Creme Masque. Alright, who am I kidding?

The A.R.T Creme Masque is formulated to deeply moisturize and protect skin using an exclusive blend of hyaluronic acid and pure essential oils. Other natural, spa-quality botanical are added to help soothe, tighten, and restore the look of youthfulness to the skin.

The essential oils inside the Creme Masque includes
Vetiver Essential Oil, Davana Essential Oil, Roman Chamomile Oil , Ylang Ylang Essential Oil , Geranium Essential Oil , Vanilla Essential Oil , Ocotea Essential Oil and Jasmine Essential Oil

If you still do not own a tub of ART Creme Masque, quickly go get one! If you already have one, sisters, let’s apply, sleep and wake up beautiful.

Steffie-Skincare-Secrets-Series Part 2: Testimonals for Orange Blossom Facial Cleanser

Sometime last year, I got the help of several lovely ladies in my group to help sample several Young Living skincare products and to write their feedback after using the products. There’s a handful of products that they sampled.

Let me share their feedback for Skincare Product #1: Orange Blossom Facial Wash.

Connie Wong
I have been alternately using the ART Gentle Foaming Cleanser & Clarins White Plus Pear Cleanser for quite some time. Reason is i wanted to get rid of my Clarins stock before I could spend to get those facial product from YL. My face was always feeling tight after using Clarins, and even the ART cleanser also made my skin feeling dry and tight.

When I first received the small bottle of Orange Blossom Face Wash sample from Steffie, I asked in my heart, how long can this tiny amount last? It was like just 5ml… I’m grumbling in my heart:”How come Steffie so stingy in giving out the sample for trial”

According to the instructions given, I can make the face wash into a foaming wash using a foaming bottle or I have to use only very little amount for face washing. Since I do not have a foaming bottle, I just pour and use it as usual face wash. But I poured out a bit more (about 20cents coin size) for the first time, and it actually really too much for my face, I can even spread the face wash to my neck and shoulder 😦 I am so impress with it. My skin feels so soft and smooth even with the excessive amount of face wash, it didn’t make my skin feel dry at all. Till now, after 2 weeks of using it, the 5ml sample is still like not much being used even I have used it twice a day, but with very little amount exclusively for my face only (no more neck and shoulder).

It is definitely worth paying for its “durability”. It will definitely be my first choice for face wash.

Irene Koh

I was so looking forward to try out the Orange Blossom Face Wash as I have heard great reviews about it but I was hesitant to spend on it and it was only in May that I bought the ART Foaming Cleanser. Over the years, I have changed countless brands of facial washes, from dirt cheap to exorbitant ones and there is none that makes me have any brand loyalty.

What attracted me to Orange Blossom is that it contains MSM(Methylsulfonylmethane) which is present in fruits and vegetables to support healthy skin plus the essential oils and plant-derived ingredients which are prevalent in all Young Living products. The first try is always a make-or-break experience. To my pleasant surprise, a little amount goes a long way. A small drop of the facial wash on damp face creates a luxuriant lather. It cleans well without drying out my skin as would some products. I have combination to oily skin type so it feels great to say that it controls excessive sebum production. It is important to me as I am constantly battling with break outs. To further make your buck worth, pour some facial wash into a foaming bottle (about one-third of bottle) and fill the rest with distilled or filtered water to create your very own foaming cleanser.

Yan Juan

Initially from the name of the facial wash ‘Orange blossom’, I thought there will be an orangey scent, but actually it smells more like lavender. 2 little drops are more than sufficient for 1 wash.

Kai Ling

There is one day my face is super oily and sticky from all the cooking and housework. I only used 3 drops of orange blossom, my face is clean! No extra amount is required to remove the ‘grease’. The facial wash is mild, so no need to worry if it gets contact to eyes, it will not irritate the eyes. After few days of use, there is one night I forgot to apply the toner and moisturizer after wash up and I straight away go to bed. The next morning I wash my face as usual but then did not apply the toner and moisturizer straight after cleaning and my face start to have the tightening feel. But then once I applied the toner and moisturizer, my skin feel so good again!

Conclusion – Must apply toner and moisturizer straight after clean the face.

House for Sale

So I’ve recently sold my HDB flat. It’s my first time selling a flat, and I didn’t realize there are so much administrative work and so much preparation work to do. My flat is definitely not in show-flat condition, and my property agent has advised me to ‘dress’ up my flat before he snap photos for marketing, and before potential buyers come view my flat. Later I realized ‘dress’ up my flat means to pack it neat, remove kiddo stickers on the wall, wipe off obvious stains on the walls, pack/throw away all my Young Living paper bags, boxes and etc.

Checklist
– Property Agent Hired – Checked
– Dress up my flat – Checked
– Marketing Photos – Checked
– Advertisement – Checked

I thought can sit down shake leg, and wait for potential buyers to grab my unit. Not wanting to leave things to chances, I google “how to sell a house”. There are interesting results. Apparently, scents play a HUGE part in house marketing. Some people will bake apple pie so that the house smell nice, inviting and conjure mental images of themselves cooking and enjoying a good meal in the house. Sorry, Steffie can’t cook or bake. If I attempt to do that, my house will be filled with burnt food smell, not too inviting.

No fear! I have Young Living essential oils. Apple pie baking in the kitchen is so amateur…. and so this is what I did (not all on the same day). I did take care that the scent are faint and light, so that it doesn’t seems deliberate.

Spa like House
Create a spa-like feel in your house. Remember how you feel when you step into a spa, soothing scent that relaxes you even before you undress, soak in an onsen and having the masseur work on your tense body. Diffuse Lemongrass/Purification in the living room. I also drip a drop of Lemongrass/Purification on the toilet floors to make them smells nicer (read no yucky smells).

Lemony-Fresh kitchen.
For me, when I view houses, I tend to spend a little more time in the kitchen to get a feel of the space. If any odors could be quite a turn-off. While a lemony-fresh kitchen conjures images of a clean and green kitchen, where I will whip up a feast for the family. Diffuse Citrus Fresh/Lemon/Lime/Bergamot/Orange/Tangerine in kitchen. Citrus oils are also good option to diffuse anywhere in the house, like the Dining room and Study room.

Sensual Master bedroom & Walk-in-Wardrobe.
Alright, I love Geranium and you know Geranium is a natural aphrodisiac right? (If you dun, I know you didn’t read about my Stop & Smell the Roses post :(). Master bedroom should feel inviting for the couple, and they should be able to imagine themselves relaxing in the room.
Walk-in-wardrobe is a my favorite place in the house, the lady in the house should be able to imagine herself getting dressed and looking sensual in that space. So I diffuse Geranium in the master bedroom and walk-in-wardrobe.

Peaceful and Relaxing Bedroom.
Bedrooms should be peaceful and relaxing, hence diffusing essential oils like Lavender/Peace & Calming/Citrus Fresh will helps. cough My kids do drool, and I may not be able to change the bedsheets before each visit, so thankfully the essential oils help combat that. shhhhh…

Tweak around the oils and see what works for your house k. Do try to diffuse oils that are generally accepted by most people. Diffusing Immupower or RutaVula may be big NO NO, even though they are so very useful.
