COCONUT & AVOCADO GRASSHOPPER BARS

COCONUT & AVOCADO GRASSHOPPER BARS

Free of grain, gluten, eggs, dairy & refined sugar.

MINT LAYER INGREDIENTS

1 Hass avocado

1/4 c. honey

6 T. coconut oil, melted

1 1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut

1-2 drops Young Living Peppermint essential oil (order at yldist.com/Sweetsassydiva )*

dash of salt

CHOCOLATE LAYER INGREDIENTS

1/4 c. coconut oil

2 T. honey

1/4 c. cocoa powder

dash of salt

MINT LAYER INSTRUCTIONS

Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with foil. Place all ingredients in high powered blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix) or a food processor. Blend until smooth. (You can puree it if you want, but I like mine to have little flecks of coconut still.) Smooth mixture into prepared dish and stick in the freezer.

CHOCOLATE LAYER INSTRUCTIONS

In small saucepan, melt coconut oil and honey over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Pour over chilled bottom layer and return to the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is hardened. Remove from foil and cut into bars. Store covered in the freezer.

Cha2016 sneak peeks

The 75th anniversary of the craft and hobby association begins! 

The hot trend seems to be water colors. Tim Holtz and prima are two among many offering up options. It just reminds me of the stamping up water color crayons and the water brush. Perhaps, it's what's old is new or maybe there's a new twist or angle as Tim Holtz likes to put his spin on things?

All week Tim Holtz has been giving sneak peeks! Tim holtz has crayons which everyone seems to be chattering about. Check his blog for a whole week of posts. 

Here's the first one: http://timholtz.com/cha2016-sneak-peeks-idea-ology/

The prima offering just looks like a palette with pretty packaging. I'm leaning to say it's a grown up version of crayola. 

http://prima.typepad.com/prima/2016/01/coloring-craze.html

I guess as industries are giving grown ups their own coloring books, they figure adults need their own crayons? Although I've seen many using copics with the adult coloring books. 

OLY*FUN™ fabrics remind me of a throw back to my friend's 80's Halloween wedding. He had a metallic sports jacket that he made. Oh if I only had that picture digitally at hand to show you what I mean. You can see their selection here: https://www.fairfieldworld.com/store/?fwp_category=fabrics&fwp_brands=olyfun&fwp_size=bulk-bolt

Oh my! 12 more stickles colors! I remember the time these hit the market years ago! So many of us were clambering to get them all! I must confess that I haven't purchased them in years. Are these still a thing or are they like the skittles that were the rage? Do you remember dying the skittles with the alcohol inks?

Here's ranger inks press release:

My favorite part of each show is the display that graphic 45 has for their new launches in their booth. 

They have been doing sneak peeks on their blog each day this week. Here's the first one: 

http://g45papers.typepad.com/graphic45/2015/11/graphic-45-sneak-peeks-day-1-childrens-hour.html#entries

Enchanted forest would be great to create to showcase a London trip or around that area. 

City scales is great for European travel. http://g45papers.typepad.com/graphic45/2016/01/graphic-45-cha-sneak-peeks-day-1-cityscapes.html#entries

Ad tech has scented glue sticks. Apple, French vanilla, pumpkin pie and Christmas trees. I think that I will stick with diffusing Young Living essential oils instead that have therapeutic benefits. Yldist.com/sweetsassydiva 

Either on trend or being pushed by a lot of marketing, it seems many are coming out with a plethora of planners. It appears that A5 is what most are offering. 

I'm old school and used a Franklin planner. I tend to use my digital devices lately but, am leaning to a smaller pocket size Franklin covey as of late. I love the real leather offer. Even a plastic and cardboard planner from a new hybrid company set me back around $80.  I thought I would check it out ESP as it had a rad color! Yep got me there! 

It seems many companies are offering different papers, washi tapes and other accessories. The design teams are showing you how to craft into your calendar. I wonder if we can get away with this during a board meeting or at our work desk? Um excuse me mr bossman while I go grab my copics to color coordinate my schedule and timeline. I'm not sure if they're trying to bridge the gap with hybrid calendars. I know I still have stacks of pictures trapped digitally on my computer. Even Becky Higgins hasn't cracked the code for my back log. 

Some of the companies offering calendar options are papers by graphic 45 in 12x12 and 8x8. Then, I've seen full on binders from the happy planner, Marion Smith, and Simple Stories. I am sure there are more. It seems there's a lot of companies jumping on board. 

What are you seeing as trends? Or do you just not get it?

The Countdown is ON!

It's that time of the year where you reflect on what you accomplished and set goals for the new year.  

It's also a time that I celebrate another year with Young Living. I thought that I would share with you and I know you have been watching my emails and posts on social media and my blog. I have seen so many blessings and improvements to our family as well as my friends that have started on the Young Living oily journey.  I know you have seen it too!  

I totally know that Young Living oils, supplements can benefit you and your family too!  Make 2016 your year! Let's get this health and wellness thing under control. Life is a lot more fun that way! 11 oils + diffuser + extra goodies! It's a sweet deal and I know sweet deals! Just ask my husband! I'll be here every step of the way to help you figure them out! Promise.  Those little bottles are calling to you! Join my group and we will do this together!

We have some great ways that you can include essential oils into whatever your goals are for the new year and have some groups for help and encouragement on various topics.  Be sure to check them out in our private group.  If you need an add, let me know. 

Also, I wanted to take this time to extend a special offer to you thru 12/31/2015.

Get your Jingle on!

I made some rice socks. Warm them up and add a drop of peppermint! Great for achy muscles! Or add lavender for relaxing and winding down before bedtime.

Tutorial instructions: 

Buy a pair of socks, add 5-6 cups of white rice. You can tie the end of the sock into a knot. I think it looks better sewn. 

Place in your microwave to warm up at 30 sec intervals until warm. Be careful not to get it too hot. Then, add a drop of peppermint or lavender essential oil. 

You can buy your Young Living essential oil at yldist.com/sweetsassydiva

These make great 12 days of Christmas gifts and keep a set for yourself too. 

Itovi device

Have you seen this? It's like the zyto scanner but, for the smart phone! Uber portable and convenient!

It's not too late to get an itovi! 

https://vimeo.com/143408486

The iTOVi device is compatible with the following:  
iOS: Requires iOS 8.0 or later
Android: Requires KitKat (4.4) or newer.  

Make sure you use the referral link:  

https://goo.gl/qFPbQr

to order. 

I ordered the following Itovi device in December.  What I saw that I like...

 1) Lifetime membership - No monthly subscription at the choice level. 
 2) Small hand held device that works with both Apple & Android
 3) Referral program

There is a new scanning product called iTovi (https://itovi.com/ ) that has been on the market for 9 months. It is akin to the Zyto scanner but operates faster and runs off your smart phone instead of a computer.

Free training:

Here's what the report will look like. It will have the various items listed and description. 

Bobbi Jo 

This is an excellent promotion, if you want a scanner for your family and to help your downline members and friends, I highly encourage you to get in on this!

Over the course of a lifetime of use you are saving thousands. It is small enough to carry in your pocket. It measures about 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3/4".

You have to use a referral link. Here's mine: 

https://goo.gl/qFPbQr names do NOT work. 

Here are the benefits of this device:
 1. It is very small and portable. It fits in your fist so you can carry it in a pocket or purse. Hello! Scanning on the go! 
 2. You can still scan animals and small children. It would actually be much easier with this device.
 3. It runs from your smart phone and you can print the report from there or message or e-mail it to the person scanned.
 4. This device also gives you an overall wellness score in its readout.
 5. Like the Zyto Compass, it does reference oils and supplements.

Some other differences:
 1. This device will not give you radically different readings, if you do subsequent scans in close succession.
 2. This device can give you the top three choices you are scanned for or change the selection up to 10. 
 3. It is compatible with IOS and Android systems. For IOS you must be 8 or higher, for android it needs to be kit kat or higher.

It uses the same technology as the Zyto...GSR (galvanic skin response), but some additional technology that is used in medical devices and things that you are already familiar with like the FitBit (and similar devices) and also takes into account your BMI (body mass index).

This device is a little more affordable than the Zyto Compass and one convenient feature is that it is very portable. The device is held in the hand rather than the hand resting on a hand cradle. It operates from a Smart Phone (either iPhone or Android....with certain system requirements).
 It is small and compact and wireless, that makes it very convenient and you could carry with you and we all have our cell phones, right?
 It also gives you an overall wellness score and tests more than 200 bio-markers vs. 76 (for the Compass).
