It’s no secret: Essential oils have many great health benefits. Here are three essential oils you should have on hand every day. 📅

💚 Peppermint is a cheerleader oil for its fresh and uplifting features. It’s especially handy to perk up midday slumps. Just pop the bottle lid and breathe in its crisp, minty scent.

❤️ Thieves add a little spice while you keep everything nice and clean. Diffuse for a warm, clean aroma and add drops to your laundry and detergent for a refreshing scent.

💜 Lavender is a powerhouse essential oil for good reason. Just the scent alone is nice to have at all times. It can also add a feminine touch when infused in unscented lotion, create a sweet refreshing scent when sprayed or diffused, and soothe skin irritations when mixed with aloe vera gel.

LIP BALM HACKS
I have a confession - I use to lovvveee Burt’s Bees chapstick! But then one day I added a grapefruit lip balm to my monthly order because I needed to add just a few more dollars, and I’ve never gone back! The hydration that this lip balm gives your lips is at a whole new level! (And i love that my kids can use it too!) My other lip balms left my lips dry or cracked over time, and this lip balm is like water- my skin feels like it can’t live without it! Not only is it the most amazing lip balm on the planet, but it also has the BEST unexpected and practical uses for the whole family! (I always keep some lavender lip balm on hand for most of these hacks!)

•To tame your brows? After shaping and filling, swipe over brows to keep all those pretty hairs in place.

•As an on-the-go carrier stick? Yep, that's right. Use this baby to dilute oils for easy application.

•For quick relief from skin irritations? They are great for lathering on burns!

•For touch-up cuticle maintenance? It works like a charm!

•In your diaper bag for diaper changes, too much sun, or a tumble on the playground? It's so small and portable.

•As a primer before applying your Savvy Minerals eye shadow? Swipe over eyelids first, then apply your Savvy foundation and eye shadow.

•To tame hair fly-aways? Rub on fingers and get those babies back in place.

•Raw skin from runny noses? It’s just gentle enough to bring relief without the sting!

Anyone else LOVE the smell of ’s Seedlings Baby Wipes??? There’s a little hack that I’ve been doing for a few years with these wipes that turns them into a room spray!! Just put 1 baby wipe in a glass spray bottle, add about 5 drops of Lavender and then fill the rest with distilled water. Now you have a very calming and soothing DIY room spray! I like to spray this room spray on my bed and pillows before I go to sleep! 🥰

Am I the only one that avoids the hand sanitizers at all the entrances over the past year? I can't stand the smell of most, sooooooo many recalls & my hands break out easily. Only Thieves for me!!

Alright - super quick!
I have touched on this every year around this time but I wanna make sure that we are super clear!

Let’s chat, photosensitive oil’s.

Photosensitive oils are oils like Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, or other citrus oils. Photosensitive oil‘s are oils that when used and exposed to sunlight cause sensitivity and/or irritation.

It’s super important when using oils, that you consider it’s photosensitivity before heading outside. OR apply photosensitive oils to an area skin that is not exposed to the sun.

Another great idea is to make sure that you’re using photosensitive oil’s before bedtime, instead of in the morning when you are headed outside.

For instance, if you are using lemon oil to help with blemishes, apply a small amount over the blemish before bed, and you should be ready for heading out in the a.m.

A few oils to utilize to help control blemishes and support healthy skin appearance:

Lemon
Elemi
Frankincense
Tea Tree

Tell me which oil you love to utilize for help with blemishes?

Making my bed every morning + topping it off with this magic. this linen spray is such a dreamy combo-

- 10 drops bergamot
- 10 drops lavender
- 8 eucalyptus radiata
- 6 drops rosemary
- 6 drops spearmint

double or triple the recipe depending on the size of your bottle - add a splash of witch hazel and fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water - BOOM, it’s magic!

Refreshing, dreamy, clean and bright smelling without all the harmful fragrance 🤘

I’ve ditched my natural deodorant🤭

Whaaaaa?? Bare with me and read to the end.

If you didn’t know already, conventional deodorant is TOXIC in all caps.

The aluminum, that almost all of them contain, is linked to some cancers, Alzheimer’s, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

(Aluminum is also a toxic adjuvant in almost all childhood vaccines, but we won’t go there today🐸)

This aluminum is actually not there for the sake of deodorant. The aluminum is there to clog your pores and act as an anti-perspirant.

When I was in high school, this was super appealing. No one wants to have sweaty pits as a teenager. How embarrassing that our bodies would do a biologically normal thing that literally every body does😅

Sweating is one way that our body is able to get rid of heavy metals, excess salts, and alcohol. It’s a detox system that functions all day everyday.

So, now, we’re living in this toxic world AND we’re suppressing our body’s ability to sweat and detox?

Not good.

Ok, so if you didn’t already know before..it’s time to ditch your conventional deo.

But, maybe you already knew this? Maybe you’ve already swapped for a clean, aluminum-free alternative?

Sometimes, these cleaner deos are unappealing, bc they have a different consistency. Sometimes, they even ruin the pits of your clothes, bc of the residue left behind.

I’ve experienced it..have you?

This is why I’m ditching the deodorant I’ve used for the last 5 years. But, I’ve found an alternative...and it’s still natural.

Enter: Manuka essential oil.

After every shower, I roll this allll over my pits...and that’s it🤷🏼‍♀️

It soaks into my skin. It does the job. I never stink. And it’s NOT ruining my clothes🙌🏻
