Tending the Harvest

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… HARVEST SEASON! All your hard work and patience has paid off and you get to pluck delicious fresh food from the earth and eat to your heart’s content!

 If you’re like me, sometimes I find that fresh produce goes bad before I can eat it. That’s because bacteria rests on your fruit and without the support of a plant, the fruits and veggies break down and can grow nasty spots on them.

 As you can see, it’s important to always wash your fruits and veggies! It keeps you and your family from ingesting yucky things the produce may have tagging along.

 Young Living has an exclusive Thieves Fruit and Veggie Soak (and a spray!) that you can use for this very reason. Soaking the food loosens the dirt and other crud and rinses it right down the drain.

 You can even make your very own “produce soak’ with a sinkful of warm water and several drops of Thieves and Lemon essential oils. Super simple! 

 And has anyone ever noticed that once the fruits and veggies get in the house those pesky winged creatures magically appear?! Try out this simple diffuser recipe, using your essential oils, to keep yourself sane.

 ‘Don’t Bother Me’ Diffuser Recipe 

  • 2 drops Basil 
  • 2 drops Peppermint 
  • 2 drops Lavender
  • 2 drops Clove 
  • 2 drops Eucalyptus Radiata

 The last tip I have for keeping your harvest fresher for longer is to clean your storage containers! The amazing Thieves Dish Soap contains no sulfates, dyes, formaldehyde, phosphates, or synthetic perfumes and has a delightful citrus scent. It’s one of my favs!

Meet Maria Custode

 


As a woman who has juggled the fast-paced world of retail for three decades, I know all too well what it means to miss out on family milestones and personal time. Each missed recital and family dinner underscored a lesson I've come to hold dear: the irreplaceable value of time and the paramount importance of health and wellness as we move through life's chapters.

With this wisdom, I've turned a new leaf. My mission is now to guide and support my fellow women over 40 in their pursuit of a balanced lifestyle that cherishes well-being. Whether you're a dedicated professional, a loving mother, or both, I want to help you seize those fleeting moments of joy and ensure that your health is the foundation upon which you build a fulfilling life.

This isn't just my profession, it's my passion. Join me as we empower one another to make wellness a priority and fully embrace the beauty of every precious moment. Together, let's make this journey an extraordinary one.

P.S. Ask me about the juice that has TOTALLY changed me and my family’s lives! We’re talking detox and weight loss, boom.  Easy, peasy.
