Giveaway: doTERRA Slim & Sassy Essential Oil

If you have been following Utah Sweet Savings for any length of time you know how much I LOVE essential oils.  I have been using oils for years and they literally have changed my life.  I use them all the time.  Just a few days ago I burned my hand pretty bad.  I grabbed my lavender oil and treated my burn.  It not only helped lessen the pain, the burn never really blistered or got really bad.  I credit the lavender.

Since I am a huge essential oil fan, I was thrilled when I was contacted by My Natural Family to review some doTERRA Essential Oils.  I have used some of their oils in the past and have been very happy with them.

This month I was sent Slim & Sassy.  I was super excited to try this oil.  While I am a huge fan of oils and I have been losing weight, I’ve never tried to add oils into my weight loss plan.  Frankly, I’m not sure why I never thought of it before.

Slim & Sassy is a blend of 5 essential oils.  Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon.  It is recommended that you add 8 drops of oil to 16 oz of water and drink one hour before a meal.

I am constantly trying to figure out a great way to drink more water.  It is something that I have really struggled with, so I wasn’t sure how I would do with adding the Slim & Sassy.  Now, here is where I have to add a disclaimer.  I was already adding lemon oil to my water so I am used to having some essential oil in my water.  Having said that, I LOVE the Slim & Sassy in my water.  I think the taste (while a little stronger than I was used to with just the lemon) is refreshing and quite good.

I feel like it helps with any cravings that I might be having.  I always want something sweet after I eat (even after a year of no sugar) and this really helps out.  It takes that need for a little something away.  I love that.

Now, like I said, it is a little strong.  I drink it in a cup with a straw.  If you aren’t used to having any oils in your water it might take a little while to get used to.  But I felt like it really did help.  I am going to continue to add Slim & Sassy to my water and have it be part of my weight loss program from now on.

Hey, it can’t hurt.  I was really good about taking it this last week and lost another 2 pounds!  Sweet!
