Bummed!

Day 15 on Slim & Sassy Weight Loss Program
Lost only 3lbs. and 9 inches
Total weight loss: 23lbs.
Total inches lost: 58 inches



Yesterday was weigh in and measurement day on the Slim & Sassy Weight Loss Program.  I flunked with a capital "F"!  I lost ONLY 3lbs. and 9 inches.  I guess my first week was way too AWESOME that I set myself up for failure. (Huh?)

Anywho, I'm  OVER it now and ready to take on Week 3!  I've got some goals to share with you just in case you feel you did less than expected.  I really think my problem was (and is) that when I lose a few pounds, I get happy -- food-happy!  I tend to think, "I lost weight, I can sneak in a few goodies into my diet."  O-NAY!  (NO in pig latin or MAHU).  I am going stick to the plan recommended by doTERRA.  What was I thinking when I created my own?  I wasn't thinking failure, that's for sure.

Here's what on my mind, for real:
  1. Look over the Slim & Sassy Weight Loss Plan - Check!
  2. Calculate Fat Loss
  3. Calculate Calorie Budget
  4. Plan meals for the week accordingly.  Make sure to always have your food available or you'll eat ANYTHING!
  5. Create a Fitness Program
  6. Track my daily intake and tweak out the bad; high sugar carbs and soda/juice
  7. Track my fitness / physical activity making sure there's more fitness and less intake
  8. Keep a journal so I know what kind of exercises and food make me lose weight
I hope for the best in my path to weight loss.  It's about time and there's NO turning back!!!  I can't lose sight of my goal:


Bwaaahaha... okay maybe not.

God bless and have a great day y'all.  Thank you for reading.

Love & Aloha,

Six Hundred Pounds

Last night, I watched TLC's "600 Pound Mom".  I was devatstated.  I didn't mean to watch it but it came on as I was sitting in the living room talking with my parents.  It brought back SO MANY horrible memories of being THAT BIG!



I would NEVER want to go back to being 600 pounds again.  You are imprisoned in a body that huge and the MANY limitations that come with it!  I knew EVERY clean restroom big enough to use from Laie to Kaneohe and on to Straub in Honolulu - that is how pitiful it was to be enormous.



Dominique Lanoise, the 600 Pound Mom, is damn lucky she has patient and loving daughters who care for her.  I thank God for my mom and dad who got me out of that state of misery, the pain and anguish!

My parents are the reason I'm alive today!  They have stayed by my side since I got sick in 1998!  Honeslty, they have been behind me the whole entire time, pushing me to get better.  The sacrifices they have made is the reason I breathe today.  I'm glad they never gave up hope!  I am truly grateful for loving and supportive parents, and siblings.

I wish I could help everyone get out of that state of depression and hopelessness.  I know all too well the feeling of wanting to take your own life because you don't want to burden your family.  As I watched the show last night, I sobbed.  My mom told me to change the channel, but I couldn't!  I am VERY thankful to have watched the show last night because it has motivated and inspired me to push forward in my weight loss and to help others.  I want to be rid of Diabetes FOREVER!  I've lost many dear to me because of it!  It is nothing to play with!

When I was first dianosed, I thought it would just go away.  I ate everything I wanted thinking it would get better.  It NEVER did.  I've suffered a diabetic comatose EACH AND EVERY SINGLE YEAR since being diagnosed in 1998:(

My family, and doTERRA are true blessings.

Thank you for reading my post.  God bless.

What doTERRA Products to Take

Many of my friends and family, as well as my customers, ask me what doTERRA products I recommend.  I'm not a doctor but I know what works for me from experience the past three weeks, and the results I've been getting:)

The first thing I tell people to get is the 'Cleanse & Restore' kit, if possible.  No matter what illnesses you may have, or not, your body can always use a cleaning to restore itself to its homeostatic state (perfect balance).


The 'Cleanse & Restore' kit includes:
  • Lifelong Vitality Pack:
  • PB Assist+
  • GX Assist+
  • 15ml Lemon Oil

Lifelong Vitality Pack:  supports cellular health, reduces oxidation stress and tissue breakdown, reduces inflammation and slows neuropathy (pain & numbness in feet, legs, and hands) progression.
  • Alpha CRS+: Take 2 after morning and 1 after evening meal.
  • xEO Mega: Take 2 after morning and 2 after evening meal.
  • Microplex VMz: Take 2 after morning and 2 after evening meal.

PB Assist+
PB Assist combines cutting-edge enteric-release technology with five proprietary strains of probiotic microorganisms that support healthy digestive functions and immunities. Probiotic supplementation can play a critical role when intestinal microflora have been compromised or even killed. Stress, physical exertion, toxins in our diet, exposure to harmful microorganisms, and the use of antibiotic therapies can pose significant challenges to the colonization and function of friendly microorganisms in the gut.

 
GX Assist+
doTERRA's GX Assist is a proprietary combination of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils and caprylic acid that help support a healthy digestive tract by creating an unfriendly environment for potentially harmful pathogens that can disrupt digestive immunities and cause digestive upset. GX Assist is formulated with therapeutic-grade oregano, melalueca, lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, and thyme essentials oils that have been demonstrated to have in-vitro antimicrobial properties. GX Assist also includes caprylic acid that has been traditionally used as for its specific health-supporting properties in the gut.

Lemon Oil
Known as an anticancer, antidepressant, antiseptic, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent, invigorating, refreshing, and tonifying oil.

Helps in the formation of white and red blood cells, leukocyte formation (immune system warrior cells), is helpful in treating anemia, asthma, colds, fever, gout, heartburn, intestinal parasites, rheumatism, sore throats and infections, ureter infections, varicose veins, anxiety; is blood pressure regulating, helps ease and clear up cold sores, dissolves cellulite (!), good for debility, digestive problems, energy enhancer; helps alleviate gallstones, is liver and lymphatic system cleansing; beneficial for nervous conditions, respiratory problems, muscular aches and pains, memory improvement… to name but a few of the mighty lemon’s attributes.

Now, if you want to shed a few pounds, I would recommend adding Slim & Sassy to the 'Cleanse & Restore' kit:



Slim & Sassy (Retail: $32.67)
dōTERRA’s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of 100% pure CPTG
Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals. 

Primary Benefits
  • Supports your efforts to eat less and exercise more for permanent, healthy weight loss by 
  • helping your body adjust to reduced caloric intake during dieting
  • Helps manage appetite and hunger pangs between meals
  • Helps calm stomach and gastrointestinal distress sometimes associated with dieting
  • Lifts and elevates mood which has been associated with successful weight-loss efforts
  • Encourages healthy hydration during dieting, exercise, and throughout the day
These are the products I've been using for 3 weeks along with the Diabetic Regimen, and I feel great!  My appetite is practically gone, I feel energized and rejuvenated, and I've lost 14lbs. and 49.5 inches

If you want to JOIN as a customer or consultant, you will receive all products at discount prices with the consultant option at WHOLESALE.  The best thing about doTERRA, to me, is it's right here in Orem on 400 West Center St.  I go there EVERY SINGLE DAY... because my customers and I LOVE the products.

Oh Happy Day!

Sorry it's taken me a WHOLE day to post my results but I've been super busy over the past 24 hours.  Drum roll please...

  • Starting measurements: 457 inches (WHAT are you measuring?  A house? bwaahaha.)
  • After 7 days on Slim & Sassy: 407.5 inches
  • Total inches lost: 49.5 inches... WOOHOO!!!

I love doTERRA's 'New You' Weight Loss Program!  In the FIRST seven days, I've lost FOURTEEN POUNDS and 49.5 inches... that is absolutely amazing to me - one who has no luck in the past with any kind of weight loss regimen.  

I don't have to perfect on this diet, I can be myself.  I don't starve myself or practically kill myself working out.  In fact, the first two days I was still snacking on A LOT of junk food and drinking soda.

Once your body gets used to being on Slim & Sassy, it automatically wants to do good; eat healthier and get out and MOVE!  I am very excited about my results and if I can do it, YOU can too.  Like I tell myself over and over since Jan. 1, 2012, THIS is the year... I need to get healthy, get fit, and enjoy life to the fullest.  I was only enjoying the very minimum because of my limitations.  This product is gonna set me FREE!!!

Please, if you suffer from diabetes, neuropathy, thyroid, anything, try doTERRA.  It is changing my life right before my very eyes!!!  I know many get turned off because they just don't want to join another MLM.  This product will enhance your life.  Give it a try.  You won't be sorry.  And if you love it, share it, and get paid at the same time:)

I thank Penny & Vili Toilolo for introducing me to this product.  I love you guys!!!

Thank you for reading my blog.

Love & Aloha,

Day 11: Low Sugars, Lots of Sleep, and Not Very Hungry

Today went by very slowly.  In the morning, I had this burst of energy!  I washed dishes standing up, I never ever do that, ate breakfast and took my oils and vitamins.  Right after I did that, my body felt the need to sleep.  So that's what I did most of the day.

My sugars have been very good, maybe a little low, because I had a low sugar (hypoglycemic) episode last night with the fast heartbeat, cold sweat, tightness in neck and chest, and once I get a little pass this stage, my jaw locks up!

It's been a long time since this has happened so I wasn't prepared for it.  Thank goodness mom was.  Although she wasn't home at the time, she had orange juice and food available for me.  That was really scary because I was home alone.  Well my brother was home but he doesn't know anything or the signs of hypoglycemia so yeah, I was home alone.

Today, I decreased my Coriander intake to 1 drop.  It sure does work.  I started rubbing my feet with a few drops of each: Frankincense, Zendocrine, Lemongrass, and Lemon oils.  My feet feel so good; calm yet minty.  I have no idea where the minty is coming from (YIKES!) but my body feels the same way, not minty but refreshed.  I notice that as soon as I rub these oils on the bottom of my feet, I have to go to the bathroom... I love that!  I won't elaborate:)

I just had dinner, THANK YOU MOM:).  It's important to eat fresh while on Slim & Sassy and drink LOTS of water.  This, is how my day went.  I hope yours was a good one.

Love & Aloha,
Faga

Day Ten: Exercise, The Need for Water, Gout Treatment, Benefits of Massage Therapy

I've been so busy and tired from my first day of exercise that I'm actually posting a day late! So sorry but I have to tell you how my day went and what I learned today.

I'm super happy about my weight loss Monday that I wanted to go above and beyond to shed more weight and start to tone my body.  Today was the first time in a long time, okay only a week, that I ate carbs but I needed to if I didn't want my sugar to drop while at the Rec Center.  I made sure I had enough carbs and protein to cover me during my exercise.


I loved it at the Rec!  I swam for about 30 minutes then sat in the hot tub for ten.  My legs felt so much better (less pressure).  I did a lot of leg exercises in the water and boy did it feel grrreat!  It's been a very long time since I've exercised at all or swam.  Swimming allows me to move and exercise without pain.  I suffer from major Neuropathy and poor, no TERRIBLE circulation.  My friend who is a massage therapist said my legs didn't look too good and may end up being amputated.


I thought to myself, "Oh HELL NO!"  Thus, the need to exercise.  Sometimes, no most times, I am so hard-headed.  I don't like to do what's best for my health until I'm scared out of my mind or threatened by death!  With everything I've been through, you would think that I'd be in top shape, but oh no.  I like to see just how far I can get.  I want to get RID of diabetes!!  I've lost too many good friends and family to this killer.  A dear friend of mine had her toes amputated and I don't want that!  So exercise it has to be!!!

I noticed the need for water while using DoTerra's essential oils and supplements.  For example, I read here that "...you must drink a lot of water! Not only does Slim & Sassy curb your appetite but it also helps to detox your liver. If you do not drink a lot of water, you body will still detox. I found this out the hard way and ended up with an itchy rash similar to hives."  I love it that Slim & Sassy detoxifies my liver because my liver is KEFS!!! (In bad shape)


In fact, I LOVE DoTerra has done with my life!  I feel better than I've ever before since being diagnosed in 1998, I have more energy, I am more regular (ahem!), I am a nicer and calmer person, and I ESPECIALLY LOVE helping others!


It is SO TRUE what the guy says on the "Getting Started" DVD in your introductory packet, the oils WILL sell itself.  I signed up because I had a great experience with the oils.  I didn't know until this past Monday that I can make money too while using the product.  I'm STOKED:)  It doesn't get better than this!


The massage... Ahhh, I love how it makes my feet and legs feel.  But most importantly, I like it makes others feel.  Tonight I was able to give a few massages to my family members.  They were so appreciative especially my 5 year old nephew.  He loves it when I rub his feet and ears with Lavendar!

I'm not gonna say who has gout, but here's the DoTerra Essential Oil Gout Treatment I started on HIM tonight (haha):

  • Rub 4-5 drops each of AromaTouch Oil Blend,Lemon Oil and Wintergreen Oil on affected area.
  • Take 4-5 drops each of Lemon Oil, Thyme Oil andBasil Oil in a capsule daily until symptoms disappear.
  • Drink 4-5 drops of Lemon Oil or On Guard Oil Blend in 1 liter of water each day.
Additional Help:

  • Rub 2-3 drops of Cypress Oil, Lavender Oil and/orPeppermint Oil on bottoms of feet nightly.
  • Diffuse Clove Oil in the air
  • Take Zendocrine (Detoxification) orTerrazyme tablets daily
  • Take Life Long Vitality Pack Vitamins daily
If you're in DoTerra for the business, the oils WILL sell themselves.  All it takes is a little to get someone feeling better:)  As you know, my lifelong dream was to become a doctor but because of many limitations, I've had to set that dream aside.  With DoTerra, I feel so good about helping others feel good too!  


This has motivated me to do a diabetes/neuropathy session every Saturday.  My friend Omai Crichton, who owns Sweet's Island Grill in Provo, has so graciously provided her place so I can give others a chance to feel what I feel and to get better.  More details to come regarding my "Got Diabetes" Sessions starting this week Saturday.  Thank you to the Hawaii Team for their inspiration!  They did this same thing at Schreiner's Hospital for those suffering with Diabetes.  (Read article)


As always, thank you so much for reading!  Mahalo plenty for the love and support!  God bless.

Love & Aloha,

Day Eight on DoTerra!



Today is January 23, 2012.  Eight days ago I joined DoTerra.  Five days ago I started taking the Slim & Sassy Essential Oil.  At 1pm, I weighed myself and I LOST 14 POUNDS!!!  It can't get better than this folks!  Life is good... God IS GOOD!  Join now... what're you waiting for?  {In the NICEST way possible.}

Love,

Good News Monday:)



Just getting a minute now to catch you up on the WONDERFUL day I've had.  But first, congratulations to my friend Johanna out in Cali for becoming a part of our team and Slim & Sassy Support Group!  She joined our team yesterday.

Johanna, so excited to enjoy court-side seats with you at a Lakers Game with our Lady Lakers outfits on;)  It's gonna be THAT GOOD!  So excited for you sis!

This morning, I was afraid to see what my sugar was because of the 3 HUGE slices of Tita's Grill homemade bread.  I'm so glad I took the Lifelong Vitality capsules, PB Assist, Slim & Sassy with a little Coriander.  What an AMAZING surprise as my glucometer flashed 90mg/dl!!!  It made me so happy that I think it affected my entire day:)

A friend, who met me at DoTerra this morning bright and early, has been waiting all weekend long to get on the bandwagon.  My mom decided to break off from her "previous partnership" (LOL) in the business and become an INDEPENDENT Product Consultant for herself! (Eeehohwee!)  I am so excited for her!  She, too, started Slim & Sassy today!

Mom and my friend are now in my company... and good company they were as we weighed in and measured ourselves in preparation for the GREAT adventure ahead of us!

Guess what... I LOST 14 POUNDS!!!  I have been on Slim & Sassy only FIVE days and it is working miracles, Ladies & Gentlemen!  Now if I can only work in some kind of exercise.  Ha!

Today has taught me that the gift of DoTerra is NOT really about getting people to sign up and leave them, it's about helping them understand what DoTerra (AND I) can do to ENHANCE their lives with better health.  Because, with better health comes true happiness.

Every year, my papa would say after we sang Happy Birthday to him, "main thing good health this year."  It didn't make sense to me until I got really sick.  What good is anything without health?  We cannot enjoy our families, riches, or life's happiest events if we are not well enough to.

I say this because I was able to help a friend who had cancer today.  I don't want to go into details but I can tell she was very thankful I visited, and took the time to rub her feet and see how she was doing:)  #GodIsGood

My dad has been feeling great!  Over the past week, he has slept better, eaten a lot more, and drank a lot less.  Being on dialysis, I think it's great!  The neuropathy in his feet is gone!  He breathes easier and is much more comfortable.  I am very happy my dad feels good.

Today's been a good day and I thank God for all He's blessed me with.  I hope you had a good day today as well.  As always, thank you for reading and God bless!

Love & Aloha,
Jasmyn

Today's a NEW Day!



I just love the sunshine in the morning..


even if the ground is covered in snow!

TODAY is Day 7 and it's been a week on DoTERRA and Slim & Sassy!  Tomorrow, Monday Jan 22, 2012 is weigh in and measurement day for me!  I am oober excited!  I know we're not supposed to eat processed food on this regimen but this morning I felt like indulging!  {Sure, only week 2 and indulging already. SMH}  I had 4 turkey sausage, a boiled egg and a cup of spinach... YUM!  No really, it is yum.


My sugar was 97mg/dl this morning and I am a happy camper!  Altho' I ate rice last night, and I felt it, my sugars were normal this morning thanks to the following:

In a capsule, I add 3 drops of the following and take it 3 times a day:
  • 8 drops of Slim & Sassy (stay tuned for info on My Support Group starting tomorrow)
  • Coriander - improves healthy insulin response
  • Cinnamon - contains cleansing properties
  • Grapefruit - uplifts mood
  • Lemongrass - support healthy digestion, soothes aching muscles
  • Frankincense - immune support
I place 1-2 drops of Lemon oil (internal cleanser) in 16oz. of water and drink 3-4 bottles a day.  I've also been taking my Lifelong Vitality Vitamins (Alpha CRS+, xEO Mega, Microplex VMz) as well as the PB Assist and Zendocrine religiously!  Which reminds me, I gotta get ready for church!

Have an AWESOME day friends:)  Much love and aloha...

DoTERRA Oil of The Week

January 23 - 29, 2012: Slim & Sassy

The Oil for Week 2 is Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend.  I chose this oil because it has a number of WONDERFUL benefits.  Being on this oil for almost a week has changed me; I'm not hungry, I am CALM and not so moody/mean!  #TRUEStory



It is recommended that one adds 8 drops of the product in 16oz. of water, I have tried this AND I will NEVER try it again.  The first time I drank it, it was like a firecracker exploded in the mouth; the tastes were strong!  I could really taste the lemon and cinnamon.  But, I was desperate!  I was determined to lose just as much, even more, weight than my friend (who still probably doesn't know I exist) Aulama Melei who lost 90lbs on this same product!  (Video on left sidebar)

So... I took a trip to the health store to buy a package of capsules.  The product is AWESOME!  It works great in a capsule and with one swallow, I don't have to worry about cravings because it curbs my appetite BIG TIME.  And if you're wondering if this oil will do the same for you, wonder not!  I am probably the biggest muncher ever!  I used to eat 24/7 NO LIE!  And I don't only eat small snacks... I CHOMP!  Each snack was a heavy supper for the normal.  Okay, but enough about me...

Try Slim & Sassy today!  Well tomorrow, cause they not open today.  Today is Sunday!  This month ONLY, Slim & Sassy is 10% off.  Join now and get a deeper discount.

This week I am going to start a Slim & Sassy Support Group for those who wish to purchase the doTERRA Slim & Sassy "New You" kit.  This is the perfect opportunity to kick off the New Year (yes, it is still the New Year), lose weight and enjoy the support of other group members with the same goal in mind!   Are you in?  Email me for details!

*music and people stop*  NOTE:  Let me tell you... with doTERRA, you can choose to do it for compensation, a business if you will.  If you will not, doTERRA offers you deep discounts with the same $35!  It's like paying to shop at Costco.  No really.  Think about it!

Thanks for reading...

My Mind is Telling Me No & My Body is Telling Me No?



It's nearing the close of Jan. 20, 2012, and it feels so weird not to be hungry.  I mean my mouth feels like it should be moving, chewing, and enjoying oily, salty, crunchy, sweet something.  What's happening to me?  Me of all people!  I normally eat from sun up to sun down.

Thanks to doTERRA's Slim & Sassy, Lifelong Vitality Pack, the Diabetes mix, and my newfound love Zendocrine, I am NOT hungry!!!  The worst part of not wanting to eat is I feel deprived yet I'm can eat what I want, when I want except for I don't want to.  I can tell this is going to take a lot of getting used to.  Now I have to really think of something else to do besides eat... probably exercise:)

My sugar tonight after dinner which included 1/2 a banana (ewww CARBS) was only 163mg/dl.  GLORY!  I am beside myself, I don't know how to act.  Maybe I'll go to bed or something since I don't feel like eating.  WHAAAT?

Time to rub some Balance, AromaTouch, Frankincense, and Zendocrine oils on my feet.  Nighty night all!  Until tomorrow...

A hui hou... malama pono... ea ea. {hehe}

Love & Aloha,
Faga

Day 05: Hallelujah!

Good afternoon!  Today is Friday, Jan. 20, 2012 and Day 5 of my journey to restored health.  It may be just me, or the voice [more like YELLING] of Jenalei's mom to get her up for school today, but my eyes opened at 830am by themselves. (Yikes!)

Anywho, I feel great today!  I monitored my sugar this morning and (drum roll please...) it was 114mg/dl.  That's the closest to normal!  I haven't had a sugar that great in months!!  I ate chicken w/ mushrooms and spinach for breakfast.


I tried the mixture of doTERRA oils found here:
  • 5 drops of Coriander
  • 3 drops of Cinnamon
  • 3 drops of Lemongrass
  • I also added 5 drops of Slim & Sass so I don't have to drink it! 
I am so happy at my results this morning.  It's been a long while since my sugar was THAT LOW!  My fasting sugar is normally a blinking ERROR.  No, really!  The machine really wants to read... "ARE YOU SERIOUS SISTER?" lmao 


Tips for today:
  • I do recommend that if you are using Slim & Sassy, you must drink a lot of water! Not only does Slim & Sassy curb your appetite but it also helps to detox your liver. If you do not drink a lot of water, you body will still detox. I found this out the hard way and ended up with an itchy rash similar to hives. An added benefit to an increased water intake with Slim & Sassy is your hair will be softer and your skin will be more nourished. Please, take my advice and drink water!
  • Make your meals easy & quick!  I buy frozen 'fully cooked' meat; chicken, salmon, etc. so that when it's time to cook, it's a cinch!  Also: plan ahead!  If you don't have your meals prepared ahead of time, you WILL eat ANYTHING (including cookies, crackers, whip cream! bwaahaha)
  • You should drink the Slim & Sassy Meal Replacement Shake... it burns the fat from your thighs!  YES!!!  Finally a product that HATES my thighs just as much as I do:)
Good luck and keep up the good work!!!  Text me if you need products or to join!

Love & Aloha,
Faga

Gonna be 'Slim & Sassy' and Start on Coriander

"Just picked up some 'Slim & Sassy' from DoTERRA... can't wait to get Slim so I can give it you da Sassssy;)"  --Facebook status just now.

doTERRA's Slim & Sassy

doTERRA's Slim and Sassy is designed to help manage you appetite in between meals. It is a blend of Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, Grapefruit and Cinnamon essential oils.

How do you use Slim and Sassy?

It is so easy! Just add 8 drops to 16 oz. of water and drink throughout the day! It not only helps manage your appetite, but it also calms your stomach and helps lift your mood through the day.

It is a wonderful way to keep proper hydration throughout the day. It has zero-calories, and is a wonderful alternative for the other High-Calorie drinks most often used.
Check out this webinar about the science behind Slim and Sassy! It also has some great testimonials of people loosing quite a bit of weight! Amazing!!!  {Link}


On my way home, I stopped off at Good Earth to grab a package of empty gelatin capsules so I can start the Diabetic Regimen with Coriander and some other doTERRA Essential Oils.  I am super excited to live healthier, without pain, and be normal... and a li'l Sassy;)

Just in case you're wondering what the empty capsules look like...

I feel MUCH energy today!  Maybe it's all in mind... and maybe my mind should have been thinking this way a long time ago:)

Have a good one!  Thanks for reading!

I know it's been a hot minute since I've posted but since my last post, back in December, a lot of things have happened in my life!  Okay, not that many but I thought I'd update you on my adventurous life in 2012!

Since 2012...

  • My nephew MAESON TAUTAIOLEUA NUGA was born,
  • Our family threw a Baby Shower for Ashley & Baby
  • I've become a member of doTERRA... yippee!
  • And I started Spring semester at UVU


Our baby Maeson has been a blessing in our lives from the moment he arrived.

Our family has learned there is nothing that can test us, teach us to be humble, and to pray most diligently daily like the early birth of a child spending the very first months of his precious life in the NICU.  

"Maeson Boy", as I like to call him, has improved incredibly.  He continues to defy doctors each day as he continues to fight and get better!  The first few weeks of his little life was probably the hardest.  But he is better now and off a lot of the wiring.


Ashley and Maeson

Ashley's baby shower was a hit!  There were many sisters and friends there.  Here is my favorite pic from the shower:


Thanks for being such great sports: Ata, Ann, Mana, and Raychelli:)


You are looking at the newest doTerra IPC in Carey Ofahengaue's team!

I am pretty stoked that I joined doTERRA.  At first, I signed up so I could buy their products at a cheaper price.  After using doTERRA products for over 6 months, I LOVE IT!  Honestly, the oils have helped me in many ways, but most importantly with neuropathy (fingers and feet pain caused by diabetes and insomnia).

I am a true believer of this product.  I'm not going to sell you the product but I do want to integrate it in my blog here because it CAN help you!  I have been a diabetic for over 12 years and let me tell you it is a living hell!  To be in pain all the time for that long is so overwhelming.

For those of you who suffer from Diabetes and its horrid side effects, this is my daily ritual:
  • I apply 2 drops of each: Balance, AromaTouch, and Fractionated Coconut oil to my feet each morning.
  • At bedtime, I take a hot bath using these same oils to relax.
  • Afterwards, I apply the oils again to my feet and inhale the oils deeply.  This sends me to sleep instantly.  I have no more problems with insomnia.
I am super excited to begin the 'Slim & Sassy' program to lose weight!  My goal is to lose 250lbs! {Thanks to a woman named Aulama Melei.  See video below.}  


Way to go Aulama!  {Pictures}

I have been overweight my entire life.  It wasn't until 1998 that I gained weight due to the side effects of my brain tumor and operation.  I was prescribed PREDNISONE, a steroid that contains the size of the tumor but it did not help.  In 1999, I was at my heaviest weight of over 600lbs.



I am very excited to finally reach my goal after eleven years of this roller coaster ride that I've wanted so badly to get off of!  I will finally be normal!

My life dream was to become a doctor.  Because of my health and weight {Who wants to see a FAT doctor?}  I've had to dream smaller and leave my dream behind.  doTERRA is giving me another chance at helping others to live healthier and more comfortably - WITHOUT PAIN!



Here we go UVU Wolverines!

The Spring semester has begun, and of course, I am behind in all of my classes because of life's many events and some TOO important to miss!  My goal this semester is 4.0 so please don't feel like I'm being mean... I'm just in school!  Bwaaahaha.

This is my life in a short blog post!  Thank you for reading... GOD bless you my dear friends!

Love & Aloha,
Faga
