Faith Love Oils- Mandy Garske

You CAN reduce the toxins in your body one step at a time 😁

Confession: I used to struggle with canker sores.

I had multiple spots in my mouth, every day, for 4 years.

But once I switched over to the Thieves toothpaste and mouthwash, I ceased having recurring canker sores. Not because it “cured me,” but because my eyes were finally opened, and it pinpointed the root cause of my painful sores:
It was the TOXIC INGREDIENTS in my former store-bought ORAL CARE PRODUCTS!!! That’s where my sores were coming from!! Simply cutting out the toxic became my solution!

All those years I didn’t know it. But now that I do, I’ll NEVER be without my Thieves Oral Care Line.

Y’all - so many testimonies like mine happen daily. Getting rid of yucky products and replacing them with natural options are the first steps to better health and a more abundant life. What do people do without Young Living?!

It all starts with a seed. 🌿

Reason #534 to LOVE Thieves Household Cleaner. When I forget my thieves fruit and veggie wash at home, I can use THC in a pinch!


By the way, this is the kale summer salad that Melissa Thielke and Judi Schubert made at the April rally. Soooooo good, and so healthy! I hadn't cut the avacado yet. AND I added a bit of Ningxia Red to the dressing!

You guys! This is important!

Not only can many of the chemicals in commercial sunscreen cause hormone disruption (think thyroid and reproductive system), they can accumulate in your body. MUCH of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream. Do you know what bioaccumulation is? It's when your body accumulates chemicals(poisons) at a faster rate than your body can get rid of them. They're building up in your body and causing major stress on ALL your systems!

This is why it's SO important to know what you're putting on your skin! It Sunscreen, lotion/moisturizers, shampoo/conditioner, makeup, INSECT REPELLENT, shaving cream, exfoliants, etc.

The beautiful thing is that there ARE companies out there who are stepping up and providing better alternatives for us, so we don't have to poison ourselves or our children.

AND Young Living is right at your fingertips! That Seed to Seal promise we talk about? It applies to ALL YL products. They provide safe and effective solutions for us because people's best interest is what drives this company, NOT profit.

Feel free to research products to see if you can find better products. I encourage it! You should be informed of all your options. You are the driver of your health. You make the decisions. No one else cares more about your health than you.

Love you guys!

To go along with my earlier post. This is one of my breakfast options. I mean com'on! Chocolate for breakfast?! I like to sneak in some extra greens like spinach or kale, and you can't even tell it's in there!

Shhhhh don't tell the hubby😉

I just had to share this from my friend Amber Gill! I have learned so much from her about food and am forever grateful for her encouragement! ❤

HEALTH HACK: Aim for at least 1 cup of leafy greens a day.

In the book, “The Better Brain Solution” it mentions eating a cup of green leafy vegetables every day will make you (on average) 11 years physiologically younger than someone who doesn’t!

{ did you hear that... someone just shut the front door }

Some leafy greens include: spinach, kale, brussels, swiss chard, etc. Now, I like to sneak spinach/kale into smoothies... toss them into scrambled eggs... serve as a big sass salad with a droopy egg on top. DELICIOUS!!!

Anywho.
Leafy greens are loaded with fiber. vitamin K. folate. potassium. antioxidants. anti-inflammatory props and so much more.

How do you sneak leafy greens into YOUR plate?

Anywho. Here's the takeaway: um. your cells will be physiologically younger if you eat leafy greens daily... it’s good for heart, brains and bones.

I had to repost this with the missed ingredient! Just in case you wanted to save the pic 😉

Here's another THM sip that I adapted to squeeze in more essential oil goodness!

Edit* I forgot to add the Stevia ingredient in my pic. I added 2 tsp stevia/erythritol blend

Side note, if the ginger is too strong, you can eliminate the ground ginger. I personally love using fresh ground ginger AND a drop or 2 of ginger vitality.

Customize it! Own it. 😉👊

Today I ingested👅, inhaled👃, and applied topically🖑 essential oils all before noon. The following were just a few of the ways I used them 😁😁

By the way, the Winter Wonderland sip is a Trim Healthy Mama recipe, and you can customize it however you like with a little more or a little less of the ingredients to your preference 😉

How have you used your oils today?

A few tips when working outside in the summer.

Chances are preeety good that it won't be dainty work, so put on your deep relief, panaway, copaiba, or peppermint BEFORE and after the work. This will not only help your precious muscles, it will also deter the bees/wasps, and keep you cool if it's a million degrees out.

Also, keep your digestive system cooled and working well, by adding peppermint vitality to your drink! This is my Trim Healthy Mama Winter Wonderland Sip. Google it! It's delicious and perfect for a day like today! Soooo yummy I'm making ANOTHER!

Don't forget to put on your Insect repellent! Young Living of course 😉

AND YL has some pretty bomb sunscreen too! 😍 But if you forget sunscreen, we've got you covered with after sun spray!

Any way you look at it, we've got you covered😉😁

I had to share this!...pool season is upon us. 💦

Now you know the real reason this mom loves Juniper oil. 🙋🏼‍♀️😂

Here’s the recipe 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A fresh batch is going on my bathroom counter because the pool is open.

-15 Drops Juniper
-15 Drops Cedarwood
-1/2 Cup Coconut Oil

Whip these 3 ingredients and place in a jar.

Apply small amount to the back of your thighs each morning this summer.

You will be like...whaaaaat is this awesome sauce?!

HELLOOO!! I'M TRYING THIS!

Thanks to Lisa Baker!

Today’s Weekly Drop is a scrumptious recipe for a healthier alternative to the ever popular Shamrock Shake! And it’s super easy!

In a blender combine:

1 can coconut milk

1 avocado, peeled and seeded

2-3 tablespoons raw honey or Agave syrup

1 cup ice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peppermint Vitality to taste (about 1 drop)

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Quick question for you - what’s your favorite way to use Vitality oils in your kitchen? I'm always looking for new ways to use them?

Thanks to my friend Janelle Rouse!

Hey everyone! I was curious how much Savvy Minerals was compared to the makeup I was using before, BeautyCounter, so I decided to hop online and do a comparison.

Comparison: I compared the "leading" mineral and "leading" natural product lines.
1. Savvy
2. Bare Minerals (closet mineral makeup comparison)
3. BeautyCounter (closet natural makeup comparison)

Products: I found the most comparable products I could.
1. Primer for our Priming Misting Spray
2. Eye shadow: each company had a single eyeshadow, although BC was a dual color it appear to be similar (probably a bit smaller) than our single
3. Neither company has Lavender or any EOs

Cost Breakdown:
I compared the products included in the kit.
I broke down the YL wholesale price vs. the other 2 companies.
I also shared the YL Kit price vs. buying it all individually. It is a cost-savings for members to purchase the kit in at least 1 color shade. (I bought 2 color shades b/c I can use both and the cost savings is awesome!)

What a blessing! We don't have to compromise cost or our health for CLEAN quality makeup!!

I couldn't have said it better than Hannah! I love rhis body butter!

Recommendation of the day - BEST moisture for pregnant bellies, dry skin (elbows, heels, knees), and aging or wrinkle-prone skin!
🌸
I have highly underestimated this vegan Coconut Lime Body Butter until recently and HOLY WOW. HUGE difference in my post-shaving-ashy skin (🤫😬), and best smelling stuff, too!
🌸
Two main ingredients make it stand out above all other body butters I’ve tried.
1. Mango butter - includes emollients that help soften and soothe skin
2. Cupuacu butter - contains fatty acids that help skin maintain a youthful appearance (hellurrrrr my fellow aging sisters!!)
🌸
Also contains no parabens, petrochemicals, colorants, animal-derived ingredients. And no, it doesn’t leave you feelin like a grease ball either.
🌸
PSA - if you don’t want yours, I will gladly serve you by taking it off your hands.

Great tea, and a fantastic company!

New mama's and soon to be mama's!! Check this out!

I can't explain WHY, but I just remember having this overwhelming thought, idea and obsession over making my babies their own baby food.

The determined side of me wanted to be able to say "my babies never had food from a jar" and the Ingredient Savvy side of me wanted to be able to say "I used only the most pristine ingredients."

So I went to work on creating and designing a recipe collection of couture massage blends, baby bath & body products and, baby food... all with the most pristine ingredients. That YOU can make yourself!

And the creative side of me... was in love.

As a new mom, I had no idea that the most gorgeous side effect of all of this would be the BOND that was created and the sense of "mom" that developed in myself. It was a feeling that is near impossible to explain but it's one that I want everyone to experience!

I bet you and I are a lot alike my friend, I imagine you want only the best as well. And you know what? You deserve it and so does your family.

I would LOVE for you to check out this collection of baby food recipes that were a hit with my littles and let me know what you think!

Let's start a movement shall we?

"When you know better, you do better."

Have you tried this??

You guys know that I am a frugal, toxin-free loving mama. This rinse is AMAZEBALLS! I can't believe how awesome my hair feels, looks, and smells, AND it costs less than $1!!

It has to do with balancing the pH of your hair and scalp, and giving you the right amount of moisture via the patchouli. No frizziness and beautiful shine!

It's SO Simple! Just add the ingredients together in a squeeze bottle (You can find an empty condiment bottle at Wal-Mart)
Then rock gently to mix. Soak your scalp and hair, and leave on for 2-3 minutes and rinse.

If you want to try this, and you're not a Young Living user yet, hit me up and I'll send you a patchouli sample!

Integrity and character. It's something that won't be compromised.

From D. Gary Young:

"I truly believe distillation is the most important step in the essential oil process – anyone can plant a plant, grow a plant, or harvest a plant, but [proper] distillation determines quality.”

The big push behind essential oils comes from the perfume and flavoring industries. They are the “cartel rulers” of the essential oil industry worldwide. They are our “worst” competitor because they cut oils. What they do is take an oil, such as lavender, and remove the lavendula oil and lineol oil, then replace those with synthetic elements and sell it to an aromatherapy broker. And when they need more, they take lavendin, which is high in camphene, like 18%, and heat it to flash the camphor off and then fill that 18% void with synthetic lineol oils. So, when you see lineol at 62-70%, you know it’s been adultered.

3-4 years ago, Gary was handed a lavender marketed as the purest, best quality in the world, and they had listed the molecules. But when you calculated all the molecules listed they were claiming it had 310%.

He said, "So, it’s easy to see the deceit that goes on in this industry because people cannot get the quality that you folks have due to the fact that I invested in what have now 32 years ago.” Creative accounting and fuzzy math doesn’t add up to worldwide farms and in-house distillation.

“I am so proud of all of you because I count you as truth-seekers in Young Living and it makes me proud to be surrounded by such quality people every day!”

Let's talk "Ditch & Switch" Supplements

Many people are starting to supplement their diets with vitamins, minerals and nutrients either because their Dr. has recommended it, or because they realize that even if they eat the healthiest of diets, they are not getting enough of what their body needs to operate at optimal levels.

Once you start to take a look at the food industry, you start to find that most of the whole foods we eat today are lacking nutrients and minerals due to depleted soil. You can find more on that in this article which talks about a study done by researchers from the University of Texas. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/

So basically, no matter what your diet consists of, we need supplementation. And while the majority still buy their supplements from a store, this is why we don't. (see article below)

Quality is SO important when it comes to what we put in and on our body! It's not like Chevy vs Ford, or Gucci vs a Wal-Mart brand. The function of your body affects your whole world! And if you really want your body to function at optimal levels, it's going to take some investment on your part. Sure you can buy your supplements from a store and hope that your getting something good, but wouldn't it be in your best interest to KNOW the company that you're getting them from? Come and take a look inside: seedtoseal.com

ALL of Young Living's products come with the Seed to Seal Standard. And they are a full disclosure company. This means you can take a look any time. Ask questions. We encourage that! And know without a doubt that there is no other company out there doing what this company is doing to ensure we have quality products that are truly safe and effective. They just DON'T CUT CORNERS. Not to mention that most people who try the Young Living version of the supplement they are currently taking notice a huge difference in function of that area. Coincidence? Quality plays the main role, but let's not leave out the fact that oil-infused supplements actually help to INCREASE the bioavailability in our body. That means our body is actually able to use and absorb MORE of those nutrients! FANTASTIC!

So the last question to ask yourself is, are you investing in your health, or lining someone else's pockets in hopes that you are not wasting your hard earned dollars?

Store-bought herbal supplements may not be what they advertise An investigation into store-bought herbal supplements found at many major retailers’ determined that four out of five products tested had no trace of the ingredients listed on the label.

Lindsey is so good at explaining things!

Whenever people reach out to me online and tell me that ingesting essential oils is dangerous and should never be done, I be like 🙄.
I like to ask them if they have ever had a peppermint candy? Chewed a stick of cinnamon gum? Had one of those white Life Savers? Because if you have, you have ingested essential oils.
Do yourself a favor: Google “FDA GRAS” and find a list of more than two dozen essential oils that the Food and Drug Administration Generally Recognized as Safe for Human Consumption, and send the haters away.

Let's talk "Ditch & Switch" shampoo

Every time I think about commercial shampoo💆, I am reminded of a testimony I read from a woman who's daughter had a weird unknown illness.
Her daughter had received a sample of shampoo at at a store, and loved it so much that her mom bought her a full size bottle. Soon after, the daughter would wake up at night vomiting🤢, and then be fine by morning. This went on for some time, and then the mother herself started experiencing these same symptoms after she started using the shampoo when hers ran out. When she finally put all the pieces together, she couldn't believe it. The only common factor was this shampoo! And it seemed to be like clock work. Four to five hours after showering and these symptoms would appear. Her daughter in the middle of the night (her daughter would shower before bed), and herself in the middle of the day (she showered in the morning).

Crazy, RIGHT?? When I first read that testimony, I vowed to be conscious about what I was putting on my body.☠ I started doing the "No Poo" 💩shampoo method, which really wasn't all that bad. But I was super excited when I found Young Living because they have shampoo!! And because this company carries their SEED TO SEAL integrity not only with their oils, but with ALL their products, I WAS ECSTATIC. 💃💃

They have 3 different kinds of shampoo, and Lavender Mint is my favorite! It's the daily shampoo for normal to oily hair. Then there's the Copaiba Vanilla. That is for normal to dry hair. And then the Lavender volumizing shampoo is for.. VOLUME. There is also conditioner to match all 3. Take your pick and ditch another toxin from your home 😉

Do you already use YL hair care? What's YOUR favorite?

Love is in the air!

Let's talk "Ditch & Switch"

Before I started using Young Living, I was learning about the harmful chemicals in toothpaste. I had actually stopped using commercial toothpaste and made my own concoction. It tasted TERRIBLE, but I was content without the toxins. Maybe you really love DIY, and would like to make your own. There are a couple recipes in this article that you could try!

If you're not into DIY, but still want a good, natural alternative, YL has some excellent options!

When I found YL and decided to try the Thieves Dentarome Plus toothpaste. While many people love this stuff, it wasn't my favorite either. So, I tried Thieves AromaBright and LOVED it!

Did you know that YL has 4 different toothpastes for you to choose from?
All with naturally derived, CLEAN ingredients! See the comparison chart in the comments.

My sweet little 5 year old loves her Kidscents toothpaste, and I've used that in a pinch too. It's pretty tasty!

**BONUS**
I actually use my toothpaste as my deodorant. Yes, you read that right! It works GREAT, and it's super easy to travel with!

So, the question is, what do you use for Toothpaste? Have you tried one of the YL brands?

Do you have a favorite too?

Toxic Toothpaste Ingredients You Need to Avoid Triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial sweeteners, fluoride, and diethanolamine are examples of toothpaste ingredients that may be toxic to your health.
