For Cinco de Mayo or any day, what a GREAT recipe to bring to a party! Many thanks to Nicole Radmacher for posting this recipe in The Mix Facebook group!
Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffles
Your party guests will be wowed with these delicious and creamy truffles that bite back. With a kick of cinnamon and a light hint of cayenne, these pack a powerful punch. Enjoy!
16 oz of dark or semisweet chocolate chips
1 2/3 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Unsweetened cocoa powder for rolling
1 2/3 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Unsweetened cocoa powder for rolling
1. Place chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, heat cream until it begins to simmer; pour over chocolate. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes. Uncover and whisk chocolate mixture until smooth. Mix in the vanilla, salt, Cinnamon Bark Vitality, and cayenne pepper. Pour into a 9 inch pie plate and let cool for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until completely set, about 3 hours.
2. With a melon baller, a 1-inch spoon, or a teaspoon, scoop out chocolate mixture and place on parchment paper. Coat hands with cocoa and roll truffles into balls; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. (To store, cover with plastic and refrigerate, up to two weeks.) Roll in finely chopped nuts or more cocoa powder, or roll in your favorite sprinkles. Enjoy!

I love them both for the ways they support healthy, youthful skin, as well as the ways Frankincense supports my immune system. Many friends also love the ways that Frankincense and Sacred Sandalwood are calming, grounding and stabilizing. Cedarwood and Lavender are also calming and are my bedtime oils. I rub a drop of Lavender between my palms, then over my pillowcase, then I put a bit of Cedarwood on the bottoms of my big toes. I find myself drifting off peacefully and having a restful night's sleep. These two oils, along with Melrose, are others that are fantastic for supporting healthy skin. You'll find countless ways to use these 5 oils if you haven't already fallen in love with them!

Lime Vitality and Cinco de Mayo go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. Add Lime Vitality to your marinades for fajita meats and veggies. A drop or two of Lime Vitality will enhance the flavor of your homemade salsas and guacamole. Check out our blog post on Lime for additional recipes and tips for usage!
Celebrate Mom mid-month with a spa day. Diffusing Eucalyptus Radiata will create a relaxing spa like environment any day of the year!
Help your young scholars and graduates finish the school year strong with a dab of Clarity in the mornings. Personally, I LOVE to diffuse Clarity and Motivation when I'm working at my desk, but often apply Clarity on my temples and behind my ears for those times when I just need some CLARITY!
You can diffuse Juniper and Thieves to cleanse and freshen your home for any out of town guests that may visit throughout the month. Not only that, Juniper is supportive of the circulatory system and healthy skin, has detoxing properties and is also supportive of emotions, evoking feelings of love and peace. When we're super busy, our bodies often pay the price for it, so busy seasons are an especially good time to support our immune systems with Thieves. Take good care of YOU!

Some oils, particularly citrus oils, are photosensitive. Skin may be more prone to burn, develop a rash or become brown if areas where photosensitive oils have been applied are exposed to the sun, particularly if fair-skinned.
Young Living did a great blog post on Photosensitive Essential Oils, explaining what causes photosensitivity and how to reduce the risks associated with these oils. Each of Young Living's oils that are photosensitive are labeled, indicating this, so be sure to check your labels, follow the instructions and be aware of any precautions.
***Keep in mind that if you have been using DIY recipes that include any photosensitive oils in them, you'll want to make adjustments to those recipes for the summer months.
While this isn't a complete list, here is a good start to knowing which oils are photosensitive and how long you should wait before exposing those areas of skin to the sun.

I know I say this about a lot of Young Living oils, but Lime really is one of my favorites and for so many reasons! As a major component in my "liquid gold" blend, Stress Away, how could it not be? I love to diffuse Lime and I definitely love to apply it in the form of Stress Away, using it like perfume on my pulse points. Uplifting, calming, soothing to my soul...it brightens any day!
Make this year's Cinco de Mayo extra special with our family's favorite use for Lime Vitality - added to guacamole! Use 2 drops in your favorite guacamole recipe in place of fresh lime and enjoy the added therapeutic benefits of the vitality oil. Don't have a favorite recipe? Try Young Living's spin on guacamole!
We adults also love Lime Vitality added to our margaritas, mojitos, and sangria - other awesome additions to your Cinco de Mayo celebrations! Here are a couple of our favorite drink recipes:
The Perfect Margarita
2 oz. white tequila
1 oz. orange liqueur (and/or 2 drops Young Living Orange Vitality)
3 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice (or Trader Joe's Margarita mix, which is our favorite)
2 oz. simple syrup (not required if using the Trader Joe's mix)
2 drops Young Living Lime Vitality
Simple Sangria
Your favorite moscato (We love SaraBee Moscato and get it at Trader Joe's)
Mix Ratio - 1 cup Moscato : 1 drop each of 4-5 citrus Vitality oils
(Lime, Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Citrus Fresh, are all great Vitality oil options)
Top with sliced strawberries and enjoy!
Lime Vitality is also wonderful in smoothies, water, limeade, yogurt sauce, dressings, Mexican food recipes, berry dishes and more. Young Living has some great tips and recipes using Lime Vitality on their blog. Grilling? Try this Honey Lime Marinade with your chicken or vegetables:
And don't forget the Margarita Popcorn for a HUGE crowd favorite snack!!!
We can't NOT mention Young Living's Coconut Lime Body Butter. It's SO LUXURIOUS for your skin! Mom would love it for Mother's Day! (Hint! Hint!)
Keep in mind that Lime is highly photosensitive, so in these warmer, sunshiny months, you'll want to wait 48-72 hours before exposing areas of your skin to the sun if Lime has been topically applied. (Taking Lime Vitality internally won't be an issue.)
Happy Oiling and enjoy the upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebrations!
