We are getting ready to go on vacation for a week!! Cannot wait.. the countdown is on... Drop a comment below on the you travel with 👇🏻

Rainy Day Diffuser Blend:
4 drops Purification
3 drops Lemon
1 drop Peppermint

Looking for a way to use that free Citronella you’re getting on ER this month?

Bug off jars for the deck/patio are a great way to keep the bugs at bay! Add Pink Himalayan Rock salt to a cute mason jar. Top with 10-20 drops of Citronella essential oil! Viola .. your done! Super simple and super effective!

Not only does it act as a great bug repellent but it also can aide with depression, fighting infections, and a natural anti-inflammatory.

Aaaah… sleep! Remember that?? Given that I have a one year old, sleep is not easy to come by in my household! It's early afternoon here and I am already thinking of the moment I get to climb back into my bed!

A lack of sleep can be harmful to an individual’s health and well-being (and also those around said grumpy person)! We all know that adequate sleep assists in providing the energy that fuels a person to function all day long. Run this in your diffuser while you sleep to aide in getting and staying asleep all night long!! (Warning: it does not assist in keeping the toddler out of your bed or kicking you in the face!)

💧💧💧💧 Frankincense
💧💧💧 Vetiver

I don’t know about you guys, but I needed a little pep in my step today! Between the wet soggy weather and the aftermath of a head cold I was really struggling! I am running this blend in every room of my house to keep me going…

💧💧Lemon
💧💧💧Peppermint

Husband: “Why do you need to wash the fruit?” 🍇
Me: “THIS... this is why!”

It helps to get those chemicals off and who knows who touched or coughed or sneezed on them 😷

If you haven’t tried the Thieves Veggie Soak ...run and grab you some!

Helpful hint: use a colander to soak berries or grapes in the sink to keep them from wandering in the sink😍

Panic attacks are a common occurrence and something some of my friends have personally been dealing with over the past week. When they happen, it is an overwhelming sense of terror. Panic attacks hit without warning, and their symptoms vary in intensity. They can include increased heart rate, sweating, choking, nausea, numbness, shortness of breath or shaking.😰 There are many medications that help deal with panic attacks/anxiety but there are natural oils 🌱that can aide the process. Their calming and relaxing properties help bring comfort to your mind and body. 🧘🏻‍♀️ This blend has been used by my family to help relax on many occasions! (...and I've actually made two of these rollers today for friends - which is the inspiration for this post!)👭 Super simple: Add the oils to a 10ml roller bottle and top with carrier oil!

Not into rollers? Add to your diffuser instead (without the carrier oil)!
DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional and if you suffer from these symptoms you really should seek medical help and counceling.

I swear my neighbors think I'm crazy! But then they see my half naked toddler running down the street and I'm pretty sure they get it!

... today I have used literally ALL THE OILS!! I had a rough start to my week with: toddler tantrums at 6 AM🙅🏻‍♀️, an overwhelming morning at work💻, that same sassy toddler turned into a sick toddler😷, long wait at the doc👩🏽‍⚕️, worrying over loved ones who need some good vibes right now🏥 ...which all resulted in a DEEP clean of all things we own- either due to the toddler germs or that’s just what I do when I can't control a darn thing! 🤷🏻‍♀️ The below oils are the I used today:
🌷Joy (tantrum)
🌷Stress Away (work)
🌷Lavender (multiple reasons, ❤️)
🌷Thieves (disinfect, detox)
🌷Orange (disinfect)
🌷Sniffleease (🤧)
🌷Sleepize (🛌)
This list doesn't include the hand soap, sanitizers and household cleaners I used as well!! Drop a comment below 👇🏻 with your favorite oil you used today or recently and how you used it!

"Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth." She is wishing she knew how to get into this fountain right now ... Got me thinking on wishes ... Here's 15 things I wish I knew before using essential oils:

1. Don't combine blends with blends. -NO.
2. Should topical oils be diluted? - YES ALWAYS!
3. Are oils kid friendly? -Yes, of course! If used appropriately!
4. Not all oils are great for everyone! Do I love all oils? Of course not!
5. Not all oils are light sensitive! So buy those cute roller bottles!
6. Save your old bottles! Make an oils graveyard with Epsom salt or make cute gifts!
7. Which oils to buy after purchasing the starter kit!
8. Can you cook with oils? YES! Young Living has an amazing Vitality line!
9. Where can I use oils? Topically, diffused, ingested, cleaning, immunity, mood, etc
10. Know the safety tips! Some oils are "hot" and literally can burn you.
11. Oil and water do not mix. Do not just add them to your bath! Use a carrier like Epsom salts to infuse your bath!
12. Oils make great purfumes!
13. Tons of ways to use your essential oils! Cleaning, teeth whitening, lift mood, scrubs, etc.
14. Oils aren't for "crunchies"! Everyone uses oils!
15. There are people in my town that use oils! We get together, chat and have fun. It's more than just a business, it's a lifestyle!

Happy ! My arms are killing me after today's pushup madness at the gym! I’ve tried all kinds of ways to help my sore muscles including ice baths and icy hot! 🥶

My favorite way to release the pain is to soak in an Epsom salt bath with essential oils. 🌱This recipe for a Epsom soak is the perfect combination to help you relax and he heal your muscles after a hard workout!

2 cups Epsom Salt
1/2 cup baking soda
10 💧 Lavender
10 💧 Panaway

Mix the salt and baking soda in a glass bowl, then add lavender and panaway. Stir mixture into a warm bath. Soak for 20 minutes!

Hey Hey!! I know I’ve been a little AWOL lately (aka broken phone! 😩). It was nice being unplugged for a bit but now it’s time to jump back in! What better way than jumping in with a Toxic Free Tuesday!!! 🙌🏼

Today I want to share with you some CRAZY important info on reading your product labels because of GREENWASHING! EEEWWWW!! 🙅🏻‍♀️

Sooo many people are jumping on the eco-friendly trend and honestly it's AMAZING because we want to treat our bodies right and stop exposing ourselves/our families to toxic chemicals!🌱

BUT how do you know what you're getting yourself into? What's the difference between OTC “green” products and Thieves Household Cleaner? Both claim to be "eco-friendly", but are they really?

Go ahead, grab one of you products, I'll wait! ...Do you see on the "green" products label where is says "Oil FRAGRANCE"? According to the FDA, fragrance cannot be regulated in order to protect trade secrets. WTF does that even mean? 🤔

It means...they can be ANYTHING!!!! And they almost always are synthetic toxic chemicals!

Did your jaw just hit the floor? Mine did when I first read about it! After having my daughter I said... No way, Not in my home!!! 🙅🏻‍♀️ that's why we ditched and switched over to the Thieves product line! No generic Oil listing there... They are listed out right on the label

You'll also notice that the ingredients are unclear on the "eco friendly" product. That's because most companies don't want you to know what's actually in them!

It was a dreary rainy day in North Carolina! Hard to believe we were just on the beach Monday! To chase away our rainy day blues we added this mix to our diffusers and loved it so much we wanted to share!

Items Needed: 🍃Unscented Fragrance Oil (Or you could also use Fractionated Coconut oil or other carrier oil without a strong smell)
🍃Your Favorite Essential Oils (Joy is my personal favorite)
🍃Empty Wallflower Bulbs
🍃Needlenose Pliers
Directions: 🌱start by taking your empty bulb and your pliers and running it along the plastic edge of the top of the bulb where the wick is. Gently loosen the wick and pull it free but DO NOT pull it out of its plastic covering. You want the entire plastic tip to pop out with the wick still in it.
🌱Next, fill the bulb with the carrier oil of your choice but be careful to not fill it to the top.
🌱Add about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil into each bulb. 🌱Take your plastic tip and wick you popped out and place it back in the bottle, giving it an extra push until it clicks in firmly.
🌱Swirl the bulb gently around to mix all the oils together.
🌱Twist into your wall plugin and you have a new wallflower!

Who likes saving 💰?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

there's a neat trick in getting your kiddos soaps to last longer?? Since YLs stuff is so pure and super concentrated it can be split to multiple bottles so you get the most "bang for your buck." 😱

Here's a SUPER easy DIY recipe you can use on the Kidscents line or any adult liquid soap/shampoo too!!

Things you need:
💟foaming hand soap bottle (reuse your thieves hand soap container or score these cute ones on Amazon!)
💟soap of choice
💟distilled water

Pour 2-4 tablespoons of soap into foaming hand dispenser. Fill remainder with the distilled water. Shake.

When your little is a tad crummy and sharing it with the family, we disinfect all the things!! Glad we have one cleaner we can turn to that is safe and effective!

This right here is why I use Thieves all over my house ... little people are yucky!! Microbes left behind from the handprint of an 8 year old boy after playing outside. 📸Photo/Tasha Sturm/Cabrillo College

Have you checked out the “FREE FROM” ingredient list on the back of a bottle of Thieves Dish Soap? If you haven’t, go do it now! But, what even are those ingredients and why do they matter?⁣
⁣
+ SLS/SLES: unnecessary chemical ingredients that make your products lather and foam. They remove oils from car engines and garage floors. SLS/SLES are inexpensive surfactants found in shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, mouthwash, body wash, liquid hand soap, bar soap and sometimes moisturizers. You'll also find it in laundry soap, dish soap and other household cleaning products. They can irritate the skin and eyes and are known pe*******on enhancers. This means they alter the skin structure & allow other chemicals to more easily sink into skin. Scary stuff, if you’re using products filled with chemicals. ⁣
⁣
+ FORMALDEHYDE: colorless, flammable gas that has a strong odor. Exposure to formaldehyde may cause a number of health issues such as chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, nose and throat irritation, risk of asthma and allergies in kids and can also cause cancer. Formaldehyde has also been linked to leukemia. It is also in makeup, so ladies watch out! ⁣
⁣
+ PHOSPHATES: Too much phosphate can cause health problems, such as kidney damage and osteoporosis. “These chemicals have long been associated with environmental damage, particularly in our streams and waterways. They cause algae blooms that damage ecosystems. Many detergents have eliminated these, but they’re often using ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in its place, which does not readily biodegrade, and has been found to be toxic in animal studies." So we're not only exposing ourselves to junk through the skin, but we're putting it into our water and back into our soil and water systems. ⁣
⁣
+ SYNTHETIC PERFUME: Synthetic scents or “fragrance” represent an unidentified mixture of ingredients including carcinogens, allergens, respiratory irritants, endocrine disruptors, neurotoxic chemicals and environmental toxicants and can also cause cancer. There’s 3,000+ chemicals in the word “fragrance.”⁣
⁣
So tell us, why would you even buy a product with these harmful ingredients? 😳
