As the gatekeepers of our homes we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create good habits for ourselves and families.

Do you keep hand soap by each of your sinks? The foaming hand soaps from Young Living are made with only naturally derived, moisturizing ingredients such vitamin E and aloe and are infused with premium essential oils, making them effective at cleaning, gentle on the skin and SAFE for the whole family!

🌱 WHY WE LOVE YL HAND SOAPS 🌱

* Instant foam makes it easy to lather and rinse for a more thorough cleaning

* Contains moisturizing ingredients like aloe and ginkgo biloba to promote softer, smoother hands

* Effective and gentle enough for the whole family

* Formulated with naturally derived, plant-based ingredients

* Multiple scents available so we can switch with the seasons for fun!

WHY DITCH ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS (https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water)

When it comes to cleaning our hands (especially post 2020), we want to make sure we are using products that are effective, but that don't damage our health. Turns out that the benefits of using antibacterial hand soap haven't been proven, and widespread use of antibacterial soaps even has negative consequences for our health, including contributing to bacterial resistance. Some research shows that this resistance may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of medical treatments, such as antibiotics.

In fact, when it comes to our skin, we actually want some beneficial bacteria there. The same way that we want a healthy mix of bacteria to inhabit the gut, we want to keep the bacteria that normally populate the skin as well. It is a crucial piece to overall health!! Without this your immune system would not be able to properly protect you from infection and disease and your skin would be susceptible to a variety of skin ailments. Washing away all that goodness with antibacterial soaps is actually counterproductive to our health!

In addition, many antibacterial soaps contain triclosan and triclocarban, ingredients of concern that we'd rather avoid altogether. In fact, the EPA considers these ingredients pesticides! Both triclosan and triclocarban are endocrine disruptors - they alter the level of certain hormones in the body and change the way that these hormones work. And we know that healthy, balanced hormones are KEY to so many areas of health! Definitely not something we want in our hand soaps (or anywhere else for that matter).

YL FOAMING HAND SOAP V. CONVENTIONAL SOAPS

Have you heard the term ‘greenwashing'? It is when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality, what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the ‘natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Young Living cleaning and personal care products! No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals here - just the power of plants!

Another big issue with conventional soaps and cleaners is fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren't required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance' is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn't mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don't want on our skin!).

As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes the scent of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance, plus these oils have incredible properties of their own!

I’m doing this challenge starting May 15th! You know I’m obsessed with lymph nodes.



I am part of an incredible group that has all the details led by an RN (she’s an expert on all things lymphatic system!)

There will be videos and posts with exactly what to do. There’s a specific list of a few essential oils, massage oils, and skin brush that makes this the most effective.

I’ll send you the list and an easy link to order and the link for the fb group.

I’ve heard great things from friends who have done this in the past!

👉🏽Wondering why this is needed?

There are several tell tale signs that lymphatic fluid is not moving effectively and that toxins are building up in your body:
• Bloating
• Swelling in your fingers/rings fitting more tightly
• Brain fog
• Digestive issues
• Parasites
• Seasonal sadness
• Sinus infections
• Skin problems/dry and or itchy skin
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Chronic fatigue
• Feeling sore or stiff when you wake up in the morning
• Unexplained injuries or weight gain
• Cold hands and feet
• Constipation
• Worsened allergies
• Food sensitivities
• Back to back colds

I have several on the list, Womp.
Anyway comment below if you want the details. I can message you (promise no weird spam).

*If you’re already with YL, ask your sponsor or enroller to add you to the group!

If you’re new to YL and want to sign up with me to get the products and do the challenge, I’ll send you your dry brushes for free as a thank you! 💜
