9 Ways To Use Lavender Essential Oil For Cystic Acne
An outbreak of common acne is bad enough, but when the acne is Cystic, you have to start a treatment regimen right away. Cystic Acne (also known as Nodulocystic Acne) is characterized by large, painful nodules on the face, neck, scalp, back, upper arms, chest and shoulders. Unlike less aggressive pimples, Cystic Acne does not disappear quickly on its own, and may take weeks, months or even years if left untreated. If they burst, they can spread the infection, causing more breakouts, and when they finally recede, they tend to leave scars: Atrophic Scars, Ice Pick Scars and Box Car Scars.
A severe form of Cystic Acne is more common in men, but women get it too – usually in the lower half of the face.
Medical treatments, like oral antibiotics and cortisone shots, are prescribed to fight outbreaks, but if you want an effective natural remedy without all the harsh chemicals, then Lavender Oil is a great choice.
Lavender Essential Oil is often used for Cystic Acne because it is gentle on the skin and does not cause irritations that lead to overproduction of oil in the infected area.
HOW TO TREAT CYSTIC ACNE WITH LAVENDER OIL
Treatment # 1: Lavender Oil And A Carrier Oil
• Wash your face and apply Lavender Oil directly on the Cystic Acne spots before going to bed. If your skin is extra-sensitive, dilute it in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba. The anti-microbial properties will target the surface bacteria, while aromatherapy benefits from the lavender will help you get a good night’s sleep and maintain your body’s hormonal balance.
Treatment # 2: Lavender Oil With Other Cystic Acne-Busting Oils
• A second way to use Lavender Essential Oil for Cystic Acne is to combine it with other essential oils that also have strong anti-bacterial properties. For example, Tea Tree Oil, Clary Sage Oil, Chamomile Oil and Geranium oil. Mix 2 or more of these oils in equal parts in a carrier of your choice and apply topically on the problem area before going to bed.
Treatment # 3: Lavender Essential Oil With Apple Cider Vinegar
• Mix 3 drops of Lavender oil with 2 tbsp of unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp of water. Apply on the Cystic Acne like a spot treatment before going to bed.
Treatment # 4: Lavender Oil With Baking Soda
• Make a paste with 1 tbsp baking soda and water. Add 2-3 drops of therapeutic grade lavender oil and apply on the Cystic Acne at least 2-3 times a week.
Treatment # 5: Lavender Oil With Fuller’s Earth
• Fuller’s Earth, is a special kind of clay that is often used in natural beauty treatments because it gets rid of excess oil and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Make 1 tbsp of paste by mixing Fuller’s Earth and water, and add 2-3 drops of lavender oil in it. Use topically.
Treatment # 6: Lavender Oil With Manuka Honey
• Organic Manuka Honey has strong anti-bacterial properties and it is one of the most powerful kinds of honey to use for cystic acne. Mix 2-3 drops of lavender essential oil in 1 tbsp of Manuka Honey and apply as spot treatment.
Treatment # 7: Lavender Oil With Pure Neem Oil
• Pure Neem Oil works really fast to clear up cystic acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation and redness. Mix Lavender Oil and Neem Oil in equal parts and apply to the problem area before going to bed.
Treatment # 8: Lavender Oil With Aloe Vera
• If you can get hold of an aloe vera leaf, keep it in the fridge and cut into it every day to extract some of the jelly that is stored inside. If that is not possible, buy aloe vera gel and it should work just as effectively. Mix 2-3 drops of lavender oil in the aloe vera gel and apply on the cystic acne.
Treatment # 9: Lavender Oil With Potatoes
• Raw potato does a great job of extracting excess oil, dirt and grime from the skin. Grate a raw potato and squeeze out 1 tbsp of juice. Mix 2 drops of lavender oil in it and apply on the cystic acne outbreak.
Caution About Lavender Essential Oil
• Never use perfume-grade lavender oil to treat Cystic Acne. It will have no impact at all. Use therapeutic-grade lavender oil only. It is a little more expensive, but these are the ones that have medicinal and healing properties.
DO’S AND DON’TS WITH CYSTIC ACNE
1) Place ice cubes on them.
2) Disinfect all your pillows and towels regularly.
3) Eat more fibrous foods rich in probiotics and Vitamin A.
4) Try to avoid sugar, caffeine, chocolate, fried foods, spicy foods and conventional diary products like milk, cheese and ice-cream.
5) Reduce alcohol intake.
6) Exercise more. It will get your lymphatic system going and help to detoxify the body.
7) Ensure that you sleep well at night because stress and fatigue make cystic acne problems worse.
8) Resist the urge to pop them.
Good luck!

Shiny Thoughts and a Bonus Blueberry Paleo Muffins Recipe
I just finished my seventh personal development book of the year! Energy Bus. I highly recommend. Being more self aware and RAISING my vibration is part of my job description. How cool, right? As a coach, I’ve learned how positive vibes raise your vibration!! Your VIBE attracts your TRIBE.
Once you get a feel for it, you simply want only GOOD vibes in your life. You start to see the positive in everything and want more swirling around you as you soak it all in. If I were to complain all day, I would probably just find more to complain about. I want the opposite in my life. There are enough struggles we face, keeping our minds focused on gratitude keeps us moving in the right direction. So what’s YOUR vibe? Grab a piece of paper and write down 3 words you think your friends would use to describe you. Be honest; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then write down 3 different words you would use to describe yourself. How do these words make you feel?
Take note.
Then each morning right down 3 things you are thankful for and 3 things you are going to do to win the day. It will start you off right!! The power of 3’s has been HUGE for me!Let’s decide in what ways we could do better, shine brighter, smile more, and give more love. Each day, set an intention for yourself. Patience, kindness, self-love, and understanding are just a few good ones! There is POWER behind intention. Let’s go after it! We’ve got this.
Shine Bright,
Stacy #teamshinefit

Join the Health Bet…and see how you can get the All-Access Beachbody on Demand challenge pack!
What Is The All Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack & Membership?
Team Beachbody launched a brand new option for its customers and coaches called the All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack. It’s an insane value and will change your whole mindset on fitness!! Check this out!
[arve url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAPZwer8t9E” align=”center”/]
There are now more options than ever to have access to the tools that can help you achieve the look and feel that you want! I discovered Team Beachbody when I was pregnant with my son 4 years ago. I decided to start a program called TurboFire after I had him because I knew I needed something to give me energy and get my body back in shape after two pregnancies. It seriously kicked my BUTT and it totally changed my life. Every afternoon when the kiddos were napping (or no napping) I would pop in my DVD, move the ottoman from in front of the couch and workout. I learned how to eat clean through my coach and our challenge group. I found support in other women who were also setting goals and wanting more for their families. I was forever changed because of the accountability and daily nutrition I found in my simple meal, Shakeology. This whole experience that I now get to pay forward to you, has changed the course of my family’s culture in more ways than I can even start to describe.
So here’s what is happening!!!
Last week, the CEO of Team Beachbody Carl Daikeler announced a new option for anyone to take advantage of. The Annual All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack & Membership which provides total access to every program available on Beachbody ON Demand, plus future releases. So that means that every single program Beachbody has ever created from P90X, Turbofire, Insanity, 10 Minute Trainer to new ones like Cize, T25, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Hammer and Chisel, Insanity Max30, 21 Day Fix and Fix Extreme, Core De Force and more are on a digital library you can access plus anything new that Beachbody releases you get INSTANT access at no additional charge for an entire 12 months. That is incredible!!!! Starting on December 27th you will be able to purchase either an annual membership or the Annual All Access Beachbody On Demand + Shakeology Challenge Pack. This is an incredible opportunity for me to help you get even better results.
WHY is this so Awesome?
I love the All Access Challenge Pack because it gives you:
- 1 Year Membership to Beachbody On Demand (BOD) with all content included, plus future releases.
- Shakeology (choice of 30-day supply on home direct)
- Portion Fix (includes 7 piece portion control container system, eating guide, large blue container and shaker cup)
- Business Starter Kit Waived if you choose the coach enrollment option.
- You get all of this for $199 for the entire year (12 months) and there is no monthly fee.
The points I listed above is worth thousands of dollars and for 12 months you are getting access to everything that Beachbody has ever created plus anything new through the year. That is awesome but the real reason I am excited is this. You can purchase this pass and together we can choose to start with, for example, 21 Day Fix. You can complete 21 Days of the program, at the end of the 21 days we can have a discussion around what program you are going to do next. What your goals are, what you have already accomplished and how we can help to tweak your plan to get you results. Maybe after the 21 day fix you decide you want to add in more cardio. We can move over to T25 or Core De Force as the next program. Or let’s say you have an injury that is preventing you from completing the 21 Day Fix, we can switch programs and move over to the 3 week yoga retreat until you are feeling well enough to go back to your T25 workout. The key here is you now have options that help YOU achieve YOUR goals. We can continually tweak and change your plan so that you do not lose momentum and drive. We don’t want you getting bored and we want YOU to get the results you’re after.
Each fitness program through BOD has the calendar of workouts and what to do when. Each program has a nutrition guide you can download and tracking sheets!! This is not about just starting and completing 1 program, it is about moving through each stage of your journey and entering into a lifestyle of proper nutrition and fitness.
The most important part of this whole thing is the SUPPORT! Sure, anyone can just buy a program, but where you see most people getting results is when they have a community of support around them helping them to get results! That is where the magic truly happens!
I used to go to the gym and do a machine for 25 minutes and then wander around ending up doing a few weight machines and crunches. It took so much time to drive there and I had no clue what I was doing. The time, money and frustration it caused me is the main reason this smart fitness has turned my life around. I don’t have to come up with anything new, I simply follow the plan and it works!!! No more fad diets, I drink my superfoods daily and push play, I love it!!!!
So this year is YOUR year! If you are like me and you need structure, support, guidance and accountability then I can tell you this will work.
YOU are invited and I know this can change your life like it has mine!
I am starting our “Renew and Refocus” Group that will be run through the Beachbody Challenge Tracker App. You will set realistic and achievable goals, log your workouts, your nutrition and Shakeology daily through our app based program and I will be there 24/7 to provide support, accountability, guidance, recipes and meal planning to make this a lasting lifestyle change.

Life Can Be Hard, What Choice Are You Going To Make?
•Choose YOUR HARD•
It’s hard to feel comfortable nakey. It’s hard to fit well in your clothes. It’s hard to feel confident in your body. It’s hard to start a new fitness or nutrition plan. It’s hard to have anxiety and higher stress levels. It’s hard to not ever want to put a swimsuit on OR shorts. It’s hard when your kids see you looking disgusted when you look in the mirror or at the scale. It’s hard to be locked into an unhealthy lifestyle with no end in sight. It’s hard to have the fear of worse PCOS, high cholesterol, brain fog and the possibility of diabetes. It’s hard to think about not being healthy and active for your kids and future grandkids. It’s hard to jump to the next plan when you “think” your current plan isn’t working fast enough.
It’s also hard to stick to a plan. It’s hard to trust the process when you don’t see the end results you want. It’s hard to stay consistent. It’s hard to not overindulge. It’s hard to check in with your team or coach after you’ve failed. It’s hard to set your alarm. It’s hard to push past in the moment for that one extra rep when your body wants to give up. It’s hard to keep a positive mindset when all you feel is failure. It’s hard to stay consistent with your daily nutrition and stay true to what you promised yourself.
•It’s all hard if you look at it•
I pick my hard everyday. I strive for more and try to think long term! Our kids are watching and learning so we must set the legacy of health for them! I have lots to improve on but I do know the time will pass anyway and I want to be better next year than I am today!! #momgoals #motivation #realtalk

Tabitha Thiessen is my Jam, my Tribe!
Finding Your Tribe
There is no better compliment than from a friend….and even more so from one you have never met in person. We finally did get to meet. See, Beachbody has allowed me to meet some of the most incredible people. Not just because they are awesome, but because they get me. They understand me, they are like me. I don’t just do all this social media stuff for nothing. I want to find my tribe. I want to find the women that God destined me to be with….and I am constantly looking for them. Fortunately it goes both ways.
In this instance, now one of my best friends….found me!! Yep, she found me through my wonderful little YouTube Turbofire Transformation Video! Tabitha Thiessen is my jam, she is part of my tribe! She gets me, and I get her. We march to the same beat of the drum. It has been amazing getting to know her, watch her work and start her own process of being a girlboss! She is one by the way. She has her own team, but that will never get in the way of her and I. I am excited to see where it all goes as we grow and become stronger friends.
This is what it is all about. Finding our tribe. This is why I love what I do. I never would have found this God send if I had not been working to help people change their lives. When you lead with what you love, the rest falls into place. Has it been easy…no. Has it been fun…absolutely! Have I grown super fast….nope. Has it been rewarding….you better believe it! But, what I am doing, is growing deep. I’m growing relationships, that will last a lifetime. Here is what my beautiful friend Tabitha had to say:
From Tabitha Thiessen:
“When you commit to a journey to find your best self… And your path brings you to one of the most incredible people on the planet …
This is what you need to understand. I turned 36 today. I’ve been very comfortable with my beautiful circle of friends and wasn’t really into making new ones. I’m an outgoing introvert and I love my tradition, my routine, my comfort and I wasn’t looking for any changes.
But let me tell ya. We can really rob ourselves of the greatest gifts when we don’t take a risk. Sometimes we DO need to jump and say: “I’m not satisfied, and I KNOW there is MORE out there and it is in MY POWER to do something about it.” And sometimes we need to stop and ask ourselves if we are really living life ABUNDANTLY as Christ promises when we choose to follow Him. But that’s the kicker… We need to CHOOSE it. Free will, peeps. It’s a real thing.
So I’m 36 and Stacy’s almost 38. We both jumped when we decided we weren’t satisfied with where we were at. And God is not done with her and I yet. He brought us together for a reason. It blows my mind that we randomly found each other over the inter web {through her YouTube transformation video, in fact}, and now 8 months later, she’s one of my best friends. We live miles a part, in separate countries. WE both love Jesus, we get our fix from working out and encouraging other women around us with personal development/eating well/being active, we love spray tans, eating food, and drinking wine. She loves make up and I love interior design. We’re the same height and weight. We fan-girl over Chalene Johnson (even though I’ve said her name wrong all these years) and we’re #turbosisters through and through.
And she is MY reminder of all things sweet, genuine, beautiful, peaceful and selfless (she spoiled me today). She is my GIFT from up above and message from My Father that He who started a good work in me WILL complete it. Over the years, my heart has healed from many things. And this woman is my reminder that miracles still happen and there are BIG THINGS to come. Even though I’m 36… And I thought in my little mind that all my dreams would be completed by now, my dreams KEEP BLOOMING!
{And she is DROP.DEAD.GORGEOUS. I actually couldn’t stop staring at her when we finally met in person yesterday. She is BREATHE TAKING, y’all. I actually got a little nervous because she is really THAT gorgeous. It’s like a secret weapon!}
Stacy, I am forever grateful for you and our miraculous friendship. Excited about our business, our team and for many years of memories and transformations to come. Love you always. ?”
Don’t Discount the Possibilities!
So, don’t discount this opportunity. I can’t believe I’ve been blessed to have Tabitha in my life. She took a lot of time, searching out a lot of different coaches, a lot more successful than me. But she wanted to be with me….and you know what, I love living this life with her, we are each other’s tribe! Shoot, our husbands even loved hanging out! How awesome is that?! So reach out, check out Tabitha, maybe she’s the right fit for you, or send me a message, just don’t wait any longer. Take the step, it’s worth the risk. Do your homework and let’s have success together!!

Mompreneur! Never Thought I’d Be an Entrepreneur!
An Entrepreneur?!
Never in a million years did I ever think I would be a Mompreneur. A mom running my own business from the comfort of my own home, setting my own hours. I get to choose when I work and having the ability to be my own boss – all the while still having time to love on my kiddos and hubby! It feels amazing and I can’t keep it a secret. Being an entrepreneur is amazing…and I really didn’t even think about being one until I started this journey.
Have you ever wondered what exactly I do as a Coach? I had no clue what a coach actually did before I started, which is why I want to give you a sneak peek. There is no pressure & no strings attached. Just a preview of it to see if it’s a good fit for you and your family.
I joined this incredible community over 3 years ago because I needed an answer to fix my yo-yo dieting ways and struggle to find my fitness. I had no clue I would find my inner strength and more confidence as well! The best part is, it has given me the ability to create my dream job. That dream is inspiring women to live healthier lives, while still having the freedom to spend time with my family and provide for them.
Are you Ready?!
I am looking to expand my team, of Team Shine coaches and I’m looking for women who have a passion for helping others. Women who want the freedom and flexibility of being their own boss. So, during these 2 days, you can grab your coffee and take a small part of your day to learn what it looks like. I will be sharing how a coach earns income, what it costs and what a day in the life of a coach looks like.
If you are interested in learning what I do, comment below or click this link to request to join us!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/529100197280062/
Finally, I will add you to the preview that starts Wed. It’s a low key, 2 day group. The cool part is, I teach you all you need to know and you’re personally mentored by me. Learn how I’ve become an entrepreneur mom, from my own home.

Do One Thing A Day That Scares You!
Something about these words light a fire in me. I was just talking to a new coach on my team yesterday and was reminded of how vital this is. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I’m a comfort zone junkie to the MAX! Three years ago, I stood up in church at the end of service as my pastor did an amazing job of stirring passion in my soul with his words. He challenged those of us that needed to let go and trust God’s plan to take a stand (literally) and surrender our fears. I realized I never needed God if I never did anything new and “scary.” That had to stop. I needed to “need” God.
I vowed that day to take every opportunity head on and allow God to work in me as I moved forward in motherhood, business and life in general. I’m grateful to Beachbody for being that outlet to help me do this. I would have never had the full opportunity without this coaching gig.
I still struggle but I am so much braver than I used to be. I’ve learned that action builds confidence. The more we “just do it” (thanks, Nike) the walls of fear that surround us break down and we see how truly capable and fantastic we are! I’m gonna go now and practice what I’m preaching, haha!#feelthefearanddoitanyway

Acai Bowl! Super Healthy Alternative for Ice Cream!
? •Acai Bowl•?
This in an incredible way to treat yourself! Call it a smoothie in a bowl or a healthy version of ice cream (nice cream) hehe?
You can literally blend anything you want with it. I used frozen blueberries and cherries. Toppings range from homemade granola, shredded coconut, chia seeds (for healthy fats and protein), sliced bananas-gosh anything that sounds good.
This is my first attempt so I might blend with more ice to make it thicker next time. I bought the Sambazon packets(which are the acai berries) from Costco to store in the freezer! Apparently, you can buy these bowls pre made all over Cali which is just another reason why I should live there☀? Any good suggestions for one?#acaibowl
