I am excited to share with you the uses and benefits of this Essential Oil blend. This is one of my personal favorite blends of essential oils. I seriously can't live without it! I ran out of it last month and for four days I didn't know what I was going to do. I figured out quickly this is a stockpile oil for me!
I have lost 10 lbs since January 17th when I started using this blend of Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon essential oil. I use up to 8 drops a day and I drink 1 green smoothie a day with lemon essential oil. (Be sure when you use essential oils internally that you drink them from a glass container and ONLY use essential oils that are certified to be used internally). This is the only change I have made to my diet. I am more aware of what I am eating and portion control haven't made any additional life changes. I have more energy than I have had in years! Slim and Sassy is all natural and it is calorie and sugar FREE! It is great for natural appetite control.

Do you drink it? Thank you.
Melissa @ Stockpiling Moms
I personally do 3-5 drops in a shot glass with 1 TBSP water - 3 times per day
Erin
I could not consume it because the taste does not bid well with me at all. I bought the gel capsules that open up and I add the oil to those and take it that way. 5 to 8 drops per capsule and I take it in the morning and at night. Thinking about adding one more capsule a day around lunch time. It helped with bloating almost immediately. I have only been taking it a couple days so I am not sure about weight loss but tummy wise I feel much better
Leesa Winn
DoTerra has slim and sassy softgels that is the slim and sassy already in gel capsules.
VICKI ABNEY
soft gels have carrageenan in them...not a fan!
Stephanie
Ditto!
Robyn
How and where do you get it wholesale?
Niki
I just got this oil for free as I became a member. It smells fantastic, and doesn't taste too bad. Melissa its wonderful to read your great review. Robyn did you manage to get your free oils, or became a member?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Thank you! Free oils are the best oils!
Jane
You can get it wholesale from me: doTERRA78@gmail.com
anya
The best way to get this at a cheaper cost is to become a member. There are 2 ways to do that. One is to sign up as a preferred member, the other is to sign up as a wholesale member. There is a $35 annual fee as a wholesale member, but it has the best overall opportunities. I do not sell, I only use this for myself and my family and I still find the wholesale membership is best foe me. You can Email me at forawholenewyou@gmail.com if you would like more information or if you would like to sign up. 🙂

Did you notice a change in your appetite the first day you started using it? Or did it take time for that affect to kick in? I started using this this past week, only for a day so far, but I still felt hungry all day, felt like I was eating everything. I don't doubt it's effectiveness, just curious how long it takes for it to start kicking in.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You need to use it on a regular basis for about a week. You can use up to 25 drops a day too. I do 5 drops 3 x a day in a shot glass with 1 TBSP water.
How To Use Slim and Sassy Essential Oil:
Suggested Use - 3-5 drops in water, 3-5 times per day
3-5 drops on the tongue, 3 -5 times per day
6-10 drops in a capsule, 3 times per day
Kendra
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now. I take it right off a spoon. Tastes better to me then mixing it in a whole glass if water. I'm down almost 2 pounds and can tell the difference in my mood. I also suffer from an "angry" tummy, and this had really helped calming it. Thank you for sharing this great product! I am hooked 🙂
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Awesome news!!!
sheri horncastle
I find it really strong tasting and not something I enjoy. How do you mask the taste of it? Capsule is an option I realize that, was just seeing if there was a way to hide the taste of it... LOL
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I have heard of people taking it with honey or a shot of OJ to mask the taste.
Kim K
Thanks for the honey suggestion. I was ready to give up on Slim and Sassy, but I tried the honey trick and it went down easy.
KimC
Oh, the honey is a great idea! I like to take seasonal local honey for allergies; this will go right along with it!
Pzak
1st day I had NO appetite at all! Put it on my tummy too:) So far so good! I like it:)
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Thanks for sharing!
Pam T
Can you take slim &sassy along with frankinsence?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes you can.
stephanie
i heard if you rub it on your tummy it gets rid of the weight, how is that possible?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
The oils absorb through the skin 🙂
Michelle
Do you know of any other uses for this product? I'm hoping there is some type of household use, i.e. disinfecting spray, cleaner, etc. I can use it for. I thought that I could be able to drink it, but it is a little too strong for me and I just can't get myself to take it (even in capsule form) so I have basically the whole bottle left and want to put it to good use. Any ideas will be appreciated, also, if there is a website you know of, I would love that too. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

Bonnie Brunsman
There are other essential oils for cleaning and disinfecting your home. I am new to do-terrra and essential oils, but I absolutely love them.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Lemon is the BEST and so inexpensive!
Kathy
On Guard is amazing for a general disinfectant and can be used in a foaming dispenser as well
MrsTKing
Many people mix apply Slim and Sassy to their tummy or cellulite areas, too.
Beth
I just started the drops today and I'm learning so much. How do you do this - 6-10 drops in a capsule, 3 times per day?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can order empty capsules to put your oil in or you can get them at some pharmacies 🙂
Karen
I've been doing Slim and Sassy for several days now, and I've had several people ask what I'm doing, that they wish they had half the energy that I have. I'm still eating, but can go longer between meals, and because I'm not an angry hungry bear at mealtime, I can now take the time to prepare real food. You don't have to take Slim and Sassy with water--you can put it in juice, or diet soda, etc. I find it's a nice flavor, and the citrus taste really comes out in my diet coke! I drink it in water too, but only just realized I'm not putting enough in my drinks--just goes to show that what might work for someone else isn't necessarily what I need.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yep - you can play around with the dose to fit your needs. That is the great thing about essential oils.
teri
Hi! Just read your post from last year about the slim n sassy. Just wondering how long you used it and if the increased energy stayed with you as ling as you used it? Thanks!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I used it for 3 months and yes it stayed with me every day I used it! 🙂
Brianna
Can you drink it and rub it on your tummy in the same day?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes, you can! You can not use "too much" if that makes sense.
Deseri Roper
Can you do a shot before bedtime or will it keep you awake?
Beth
I've heard that this can also be used to put on weight...is that true, if so, how much would you use for that?
Jamie
Has anyone put it in a roller bottle for easier application on the stomach and if so, should a carrier oil be used?
Audria Lewis
Jamie,
I use a spray top in one of my Slim & Sassy bottles and spray it on my belly, love handles, and back. I then wrap Saran Wrap around my middle and go to bed. I have done this once and lost 1 inch in my waist. I plan on doing this 2 or 3 times a week!
Christina
How long did you stay "wrapped" after spraying it on you?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
30 minutes to an hour.
Vicky
How do you put a spray top,on the tiny Slim n Sassy bottle. Do u put it on the belly full strength or with a carrier oil?
Thanks.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I put it on full strength with a carrier oil. You can order small glass spray bottles on amazon too.
Louisa
When taking the slim and sassy by capsule 3 times a day, do you take them before or after meals? I just got it today and was wondering what the best way to take it with best results. Thanks.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I take it before on an empty stomach.
Amanda
I know you take it three times a day but how many capsules do you take each time?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
1 each time.
lose fat with Nuretix Research,
I read this article completely regarding the resemblance of most up-to-date and previous technologies, it's awesome
article.
JANET
My brother in-law sent this to me to try. I have RA and have had a hard time losing weight. I just started using it today. Exactly how fast can you expect to lose weight. I would like to lose at least 2 pounds a week.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I saw weight loss in the first week but I was also eating healthy while using it. I suggest adding green smoothies to your diet and cutting back on processed foods.
Karen
How safe is this id live to give it a go and my beauty therapist stocks the product but am worried of long term side effects it may have!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It is totally safe - all natural and zero chemicals!
Judy
I take a prescription that says no grapefruit or juice. Can I use this?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes, according to what I have been told by Dr. Hill you can BUT I am not a physician.
Millie
I can't stand the taste of this. Is it effective if I put it on the soles of my feet?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes or your belly. Not as effective as digesting it. We have empty capsules you can use too!
Jodie Dommer
could you tell me if this product is going to keep you in the bathroom all day? Most things i've ever consider work that way and was wondering if this works that way also
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No not at all. Not that kind of a cleanse.
Erin B
Slim & Sassy is the first essential oil I've ever used. I've used it consistantly for over 2 weeks now. You mentioned that it "detoxes". I've notice that my feet have started smelling. Could this be related?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It might be! Each person cleanses in a different way.
Sara F
Hi Melissa-
I just received my first bottle of the Slim & Sassy, and if I lose weight on it, great, but I'm more interested in the increased energy!
My co-worker gave me some empty pill capsules to put it in, and as I was trying to put some drops in I spilled it all over my hand!
I washed my hand really well - now it tingles, which feels good - but how much will absorb through my skin? I don't want to take the pill I put a few drops in if I'm going to get a "dose" from spilling it on my hand -
Thank you!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can't "OD" on essential oils so you are good!
stacy
I love the taste of this stuff. Got my first bottle a few minutes ago and dropped 3 drops in my pink grapefruit juice. It's awesome! I can do this. 😉
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
That sounds yummy!
Delicia
What if you put it on your spine like many of the other oils? does that do anything for you? Only asking because I just did that on accident...
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No worries!
Kasey
Ive found a great mixture for those who don't necessarily like the taste but want the benefits. It helps me to drink it so I am constantly putting it in my water bottle. (Glass of course) I put lemonade, lavender oil and then my slim and sassy in there with ice and drink it. It helps with the taste.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
What a great sounding combo!
Tiffany
i want to put this in capsules, but i also add a fat with them. has anyone ever made them this way, and if so, what kind of fat did you use?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Do you mean an oil? I have only used essential oils in the capsules.
lacie
Can I take all doses at once? Like instead of 3-5 drops 3-5 times a day, can I take 9-25 drops at once and have the same effect?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes you can.
Kathryn
I'm super excited about my purchase of essential oils. I'm also a paranoid person about ingesting anything. (I don't even take Advil) Where on your body would you recommend Slim and Sassy for maximum benefits? (Tummy, wrists, etc?) And how often per day would you do this since your not ingesting it?
Thank you
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I would suggest taking in via a shot with water or the tummy if you don't want to ingest it.
sara
I've doing th slim and sassy for 3 weeks now. I happy with the results I'm am seeing. But have noticed my that I'm breaking out alot. My face really oily could I be drinking to much. I've been doing 5 drops in a 8oz glass of water 4 times a day.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
That is the detoxification process. Hang with it. It is actually a great sign.
Renae
I tried Slim and Sassy for the first time tonight...is there a way to get the oil mixed in with the water so it's not all floating on top? I know oil and water don't really mix...but the top surface of the water is so strong and my lips tingle (not in a bad way...). Just curious if you have to keep mixing it as you drink or anything else??
Thanks!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can mix with honey or coconut oil if you prefer 🙂 Oil and water doesn't mix but I have friends who do it with a TBSP of OJ too.
Katie
Just got this incredible oil myself... question though... if I use it on my tummy, do I need a carrier oil to apply or is it okay to put as is? I have also tried in hot green tea, which brings a delicious flavor. Just wanted options. Many thanks.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can use this without a carrier oil! 🙂 So excited to know this!
Katie
Thank you!
Rachael
Do you use the other slim and sassy products as well?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I have used the Trim Shakes and liked them. I just got the other products to try.
Marchell
Just got the shakes. Any other products in the slim and sassy line u suggest? Thanks! LI've my oils!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Those two are my personal favorite 🙂
Alessandra
If you use it at night, will it keep you up?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No, It doesn't for me.
LaSha
I drink a gallon of water a day so when I did the math I put 32 drops in my gallon. And I drink that all day is that okay for me to do?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes, you can never "over dose" on oils 🙂
Marcia
I take a lot of prescription medication for mental illness. Do you think this would still be OK? I bought some already and know it's "all natural".
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I would ask your Dr. first before taking to be sure.
angelica
which way is the most effective way to take the drops? Less water, more water? less drops, more drops at a time? before meals, after meals? first thing in the morning vs. later at night?
Thanks! 🙂
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can do whatever you prefer. I personally like to "shoot" it instead of sip on it. I find taking a shot in the morning, afternoon and evening works wonders for me. Consistency is the key.
Whitney Shurtliff
Thank you for this post! I am breastfeeding my two month old baby and would like help losing the baby weight (and then some). Is this okay to use while breastfeeding? I am concerned about the detoxification. Would it release toxins in my milk? I'm also considering trying the shakes? Would that release toxins in my milk?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I would ask your Dr. before you take it to be safe. Most of the toxins release through your urine generally when you detox (and your skin and feces) but I would ask to be sure. The shakes should not cause you any issues. Just be sure you are getting enough nutrition for baby 🙂
Kimberly
Whitney, to err the side of caution due to breastfeeding your baby, please research which oils would be safe for your infant to ingest too (& how much). Not all oils are safe for baby's as you would think for an average adult. Baby eats what you eat. Baby ingests through your milk whatever your body is metabolizing too (topicals). From one breastfeeding oil loving mom to another. Good luck!
Tracy
How much weight have you all lost using the slim and sassy oils? I heard a lot about energy, a post about loosing an inch (in the spray bottle what did you dilute the oil with?). But I have not seen any actual pounds lost over several months of usage, and with continued use are you still loosing weight?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I am actually no longer using it.
Danielle
Why are you no longer using slim and sassy?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It started giving me indigestion (burps) but I am thinking of it giving it another go!
Brandon
You probably started getting those burps because you're taking it straight, and it really should be mixed with water..
None
Is it ok to drink the shake while pregnant?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Always consult your Dr. before consuming anything while pregnant.
