Barefoot Mama Wellness- Young Living Essential Oils
I'm just a mama with dirty soles and a grateful soul, walking baby-steps on a humble path of discovery toward wellness, truth, and peace. Walk with me? �
I promote all things Young Living, all things how God created them to be, all things family and community, all things true and good, and sometimes, donuts. I believe in unconventional thinking, going against the flow, and questioning everything. I believe that God has provided us with complex, intelligent, and capable bodies and everything we could need in nature—especially Essential Oils-- to sta
Hey friends! After doing some training on FDA compliance, I've realized my social media pages definitely haven't been! I don't want to risk my growing business or Young Living as a whole because we want Young Living oils to be available to everyone and in every home, every where. I'm still learning, so thank you for your patience, but I will be deleting this page and revamping a different one! It's actually perfect timing because my hubby is totally supporting me in this business and is my partner in it! So I wanted to change the name of our business to better fit our family and our mission. I'm hoping to get a blog going soon to be able to share our life, our faith, and the oils we love. Be on the look out! For now, please find me (Chanen Kearns) on FB or messenger, I would love to connect with you there. I appreciate you all! ❤️
Peace☮️. Love💜. And Oils💧.
Barefoot Mama
Young Living is so generous! Not only did I get a free bottle of Oregano oil with my essential rewards purchase- they sent me a thank you gift for being on Essential Rewards! An exclusive blend called loyalty with an adorable gift bag! I'm in love. 😍
I didn't even think of this! So cool. We will be preserving our pumpkins with Thieves this year!
From Vera! YES!
"Friends who carve pumpkins 🎃
Make sure you have Thieves ready and spray those pumpkins to keep them from rotting out! If you didn’t believe in the power of Thieves before, you should now! "The pumpkin on the left was sprayed with Thieves and witch hazel. The one on the right was not. This was 8 days after carving.
Holla at ya, Thieves!
We use thieves for everything! In our bodies, on our bodies, to clean our house, in our hand soaps, in our laundry, the list goes on. I don't remember how we lived life before it. It has replaced every single thing under our sink. Literally, every single thing! All we have under our kitchen sink are 3 thieves products and nothing else!" I just had to share this. Its incredible! Lets see who's pumpkins can last the longest!"
I forget that these oils can be used anywhere, anytime. Tonight, we are diffusing StressAway, Lavender, and Frankincense to relax and wind down while we read books and I nurse the girls to sleep. Because this mama is tired. Tired of not getting the girls to bed until 11pm, tired of waking up at 2,4, and 6 am to nurse this toddler back to sleep only to crawl back in bed an hour later to nurse a squirming, fussy 7 month old. Tired of being tired. Don't fail me now, little bottles of awesomeness! 🙏
Sleep well, friends.
Mail day is always the best day! (Or as Lil Red calls it: "when the mailbox comes" ) After a whirlwind of events trying to get these here, I'm so relieved they made it! God is good. I'm so excited for our class tomorrow night! One of these items is going to be a sample in your goodie bags! It's not too late to RSVP! ❤️
This is a great post! These oils would be awesome to add to your monthly Essential Rewards order after you get your starter kit!
Dr. Mom: Help your kids (and yourself) have a great day Being a parent is incredibly hard work. From the moment the sun rises until it sets, you’re responsible for nurturing, supporting, teaching, and encouraging your little ones. Even during the nighttime hours, you’re their protector, their comfort when they have a bad dream, and sometimes even a night...
Aaahmazing!!! The integrity of this company is unreal. I'm so thankful to be a part of it.

We finally did it! Little Red and I made our first loaf of bread with Young Living's Einkorn Flour! We used a great refined sugar- free recipe from the Cookie and Kate blog, a giant zucchini from my mom's garden, Einkorn Flour instead of whole wheat flour, chocolate chips, and Young Living's Nutmeg oil instead of the nutmeg spice, to make a delicious Chocolate Chip Zucchini bread!
Why we love Einkorn: It's an ancient grain that is easy to digest, is extremely low in sugars and gluten, farmed organically and backed by Young Living's Seed to Seal Promise! It also tastes great and really nourishes the body compared to other refined and overly processed flours!
Why we love Young Living's Nutmeg Oil: It's stimulating to the circulatory system and adrenals, supports the muscular system, and protects the liver and stomach! The spice may be good for you, but it definitely can't do what the oil does! And cooking with oils is such a simple way to get them into your body.
I'm definitely looking forward to slappin' some butter on a slice and enjoying every bite! 😋
This episode is so great! Please take the time to watch! You have until 6pm tonight to watch it and the next episode begins at 7pm.
My hope for this page and all the resources I share here is that these things will help you and I to seek the truth, maybe better ways of doing things, and information that might inspire you to look into new ideas for you and your family on your path to wellness. These videos are for everyone-- whatever "side" you're on in all the vaccine mess. For me, I'm pro kid, pro people, and pro wellness. I want what's best, not what's most common. I don't want perfect, I just want baby steps of better.
My thoughts after this episode:
1) You can't be Pro-life and also Pro-vaccine. There are aborted baby cells and DNA floating around in the syringe that is going into our babies and child's bodies. There is no way to understand what kind of damage that foreign DNA is doing to our and our child's bodies. And by vaccinating our children, we are fueling the need of and funding abortions. I value life, especially children that don't have a voice or a choice, and it's sickening that these children that have had life ripped away from them are being used for "science" and profit.
2) People viewing this post and these videos might be critical of the people that produced them. How can they trust them with so much "false" information out there?
Luckily, this guy brings in experts, doctors, lawyers, and researchers-- educated and often times have been on both sides of the vaccine fence! These producers are desiring that people would know and hear the truth. They are doing this for the benefit of families and children and people that feel they don't have a voice or a choice or who don't know any better. They want to alleviate the fear and empower people to walk in confidence in their choices and how they care for their bodies. They don't really profit from their research and getting these videos out there other than they are helping people know the facts and the truth.
Doctors are well-intentioned people who do want the best for their patients but are most likely "products of a system". They get $40,000 bonuses from these vaccine companies when they fully vaccinate 200 children under the age of two. (I can find the source of that, I read it just the other day.) The vaccine companies (protected by the government) cannot be held responsible for any damage done by the vaccines they are creating. Vaccines are a product and they are going to sell that product, no matter the cost. In summary, I'd be less critical of people seeking truth than of people selling a product.
3) We need to be educated and ask questions on the true severity of diseases like mumps and measles that are so well portrayed as deadly diseases when, in fact, are not (in the majority of cases). And actually, when contracted as children, give us lifetime immunity and less risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease?! Obviously, God provides. And we should start seeking out these answers for ourselves: What inherent processes and mechanisms has God provided us with? What benefits do we receive when we actually contract and allow our bodies to strengthen themselves through these diseases? Are we fearing the wrong things? Why do we feel that our immune systems need help?
Please be open minded as you view these videos. Don't be afraid to breathe, step away from everything you know and learned and stuck to your whole life and learn something new or ask questions or seek to find the answer! It's out there. And these episodes are just a start.
Much love ❤️

I'm just now starting to research the dangers of WIFI and cell phone use-- I had never heard of it! Have you thought of the unknown dangers is Electro-Magnetic Radiation? (I think that's what it's called!) It's a little scary what we don't know! Thankful for EWG for giving us easily attainable resources to research on how we can protect our families.

Told you they have great resources 😏
So thankful for my Thieves hand purifier when I picked up a movie in Walmart and ... are you ready? The plastic wrap was wet! 🤢 My germaphobe inside was FREAKING OUT, but was put to ease knowing Thieves is a bad mammajamma germ fighting oil and I'm not putting toxic chemicals on or drying out my skin! Plus the bottle is so cute!
Goals for today:
Continue decluttering
Play with littles
Scrub the bathroom
Finish laundry
Take a shower
Schedule play dates (for real this time)
Eat lunch
What I've done so far:
Swat flies ✔️
🙄 Anyone else?🙋

Keep on keepin' on, Coconut Oil! You make chicken nuggets so yummy, our mouths so healthy, our skin so soft, our essential oils so perfectly diluted, and our bodies going like the energizer bunny! We will never trade you for margarine or "vegetable" oils. 😝
If you know me, you know I'm not the greatest cook. YET. I'm working on it. Baby steps and lots of deep breathing. Most dinners, the windows are thrown open and I say to Mr.Budget with teary eyes: "I'm really not sure how this happened..." Well, a few nights ago was no exception. I tried to melt some cheese over veggies in a pot and it ended up (not burning!) gluing itself to the bottom and sides of the pot. I'm serious. It was like cement. It didn't even mold as it sat out. If I'm being honest, dishes are not my thing either. 🙄 But that's beside the point. I was thinking, "what kind of frankencheese did I buy?!" I knew Lemon oil breaks down a lot of nasty substances like gum, grease, adhesives, so I thought I would give it a try. A couple drops in a douse of Thieves Dish Soap for something for the oil to hold onto, a splash of water, and let it sit for half an hour or so. It made some cheesy soup, became scrapeable, and then completely spotless after one quick wash in the dishwasher. These are plant based products, guys. No harsh chemicals needed! AND they make your dishes smell good. ☺️
Sorry for the gross pictures, but this is real life for me. 😜 And I love sharing victorious stories with Young Living products!
This is a long podcast, but so worth the time. I'm so thankful for integrative practitioners willing to share relevant and important information and tips! Please note: I share all sorts of resources here for educational purposes to help mamas like me and their families learn how to do better and be better on their path to wellness. I will say this a million and a half times on my page: I only trust Young Living when it comes to using essential oils. I wish I could plug your ears 🙉 when she talks about the great oils and deals other company's have, but I can't! And I don't want you missing out on great information-- especially when a practitioner recommends using oils in her patients wellness regimen! 😃 So... breeze through the essential oil ads, think Young Living when she mentions any names of oils, and ask me why I only trust Young Living! Enjoy! 😘
