Wedding Reception...a petrie dish of love and germs

     A Wedding Reception, what a glorious event. To celebrate the union of two souls in love is a many splendored thing.   When it is your best friend's wedding, it is even better! Whether you are a part of the wedding party or a guest, you are all a part of the same room full of people. Lots of hugs and kisses, hand shakes, close talking, and shared sneezes or coughs. This is the nature of the beast. We wouldn't forgo this wonderful celebration just because someone may come that can, in fact, get us sick.  
     What's a Mama Bear to do?  Well, protect herself and her family, of course!  My go to for this protection is always dōTERRA On Guard®. It is called our Protective Blend, after all! There was a scientific study performed, testing 12 separate cleaning products and it's ability to fight off all super bugs, dōTERRA On Guard® was one of the 12. The On Guard blend mixed with water was sprayed on a counter top surface.  One week later, there were still no germs found on the surface. With results like that, I feel confident in using it in every way possible.  With the new alcohol-free hand sanitizing spray, I never have to worry about not having a sink near by. There are usually a lot of sticky hands running around the reception room that like to touch everything and everyone in sight.  I also use it in a small spray bottle as a throat spray.  Our hands and mouths are our first line of defense as they are the first affected. Keeping my beadlets nearby so I am sure to protect myself internally as well as externally.  I make a roller ball blend with several other oils along with On Guard. It is called The Immunity Booster, but I call it Flu Bomb! That roller ball goes everywhere I go.  When I got home from my best friend's wedding last night, I felt the familiar scratch in the back of my throat and was sniffling.  I grabbed my dōTERRA On Guard® Throat Drops and settled in for the night. Upon waking this morning, not a scratch or sniffle in sight! 
     I try my best to be proactive in my approach towards my health.  I can best fight off the attacks if I am armed and have a shield of resistance. Diffusing it in my home really helps to keep our environment fresh and germ free. I also use the same spray bottle for my throat, on surfaces in my home.  From door handles, to counter tops, to upholstered furniture. The possibilities are endless.  So today, I am enjoying a much needed snowy day off, and not coughing and sneezing in bed instead.   
     The dōTERRA On Guard® product line is now comprised of 11 choices. This provides for a lot of protection!
