Kaden went to see our friends at T3 Chiropractic today because he fell into the fireplace a couple weeks ago and hurt his little back. He loved Dr. Nancy and I was so proud of him for being such a good listener while he had his scan done!! He even sat and played with his crayons and puzzles while I had my adjustment. 🤍🤍 We may have treated him to some strawberry soft serve after! He deserved it!

20/07/2021

A week or so ago my friend was talking about how her house plants attract gnats and she already sprays the plants with thieves. So, I shared my favorite little trick!! Put a couple drops of citrus fresh in your water and then water the soil! She sent these photos yesterday and told me she was amazed at how well it worked! 👏🏻 This made me very happy!!

Happy indoor planting, Friends!! 🌿🌿🌿

DAY SEVENTEEN ✨✨

ROLLER TOPS!

For precise applications and using oils on the go-nothing beats the convenience of a roll-on!

And did you know you can make a roll-on out of any of our topical oils? It’s easy!

All you need is one of our AromaGlide Roller Fitments—and your favorite oils, of course! Y'all I love making my own rollers but truly there is nothing like getting straight oil for the FULL potential!

Layering oils individually ( not mixing them all together in rollers) can be much more powerful!!

I have my fav oils to apply topically with these handy little rollers right on them- grab, roll and go!

Who loves to layer their oils this way?!

22/01/2021

You can choose which diffuser you would like to get in your kit! One of the most popular is the dessert must diffuser!

It has an elegant design, looks like a vase with a Moroccan tile outer layer. It’s simple and beautiful for any home.

It runs on high, low and intermittent. The high runs for about 5 hours and low runs about 8.

This diffuser has 10 LED lights to choose from so that you can customize your aromatherapy experience.

It is always important to unplug and clean your diffusers so they continue to work at their optimal capability. I clean mine with water and thieves cleaner. Sometimes, a little baking soda, lemon oil or vinegar if I really need to scrub some residue off.

Diffusing is a great way to enjoy your oils! And, it’s how most people begin using their kits on a daily basis!

Which diffuser do you have and love?!

DAY FIFTEEN✨

THIEVES WATERLESS HAND PURIFIER

Do you use Thieves waterless hand purifier?! I do!! And I love it!

In my personal opinion, a lot of hand sanitizers smell pretty bad and have so many ingredients we don’t need!

Thieves sanitizer is amazing because it smells wonderful and leaves your hands feeling soft instead of dry! It is super concentrated so you only need to use a tiny bit!

A little goes a long way and this really is one of the best sanitizers I’ve ever tried! I have one in my camera bag, diaper bag and purse!

21/01/2021

DAY FOURTEEN ✨

THIEVES SPRAY

Thieves Spray is AMAZING....it is a portable essential oil spray ideal for cleaning small surfaces!

I personally use this spray the most on my camera gear! I have been working through all the crazy and staying safe by sanitizing my camera after each use!

Just one small spray freshens counters, sinks, door handles, toilets, and more using only naturally derived, plant-based ingredients and the powerful spicy-citrus scent of Thieves essential oil blend.

Safe to use around children and the perfect size to throw in a purse, backpack, or luggage, a bottle of Thieves Spray is ideal to keep with you wherever you go!

We love using Thieves Spray on:
Light switches
Kitchen sinks
Door k***s
Public toilet seats
Bathroom counters
Smelly shoes
And more!

I cannot travel without this! It’s perfect for tray tables and windows on the airplane. Also great at a restaurant before your littles sit down to eat.

There are so many uses for this spray! The best part, you don’t have to wipe it off after!! Just spray 👍🏻

How do you use your thieves spray??

DAY THIRTEEN ✨

PANAWAY

This wonderful blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Peppermint and Clove is a refreshing dream!

This oil is a must for anyone with an active lifestyle. Your best friend for tired muscles!!

Who is starting a new workout routine or just getting more active in the New Year?! You’ll use this!

One of our faves from the starter kit. From moms who carry babies on their hips all day, to the gym goer, to anyone who deals with head or neck tension, this oil Is your jam!

Not only is it perfect for after the gym... but when inhaled and diffused it helps with the emotion of feeling worn and exhausted.

People love this one for a neck rub after a long day sitting in a desk and also for that head support when we need it most!

Pull this one out and give it a go! You will fall in love!
Who loves Panaway?!

DAY TWELVE ✨✨

LAVENDER

For many this is their gateway into oil territory. It makes you think soft and huggable, gentle, smells like flowers, calming, and the one you want around if you are sad, tired, or need comforting.

For centuries lavender has been used for sleep. It has been put into pillows and mattresses, wrapped up with clothes, added to handkerchiefs (hello, diffuser) and used in aromatherapy for relaxation. It has been added to all kinds of tonics and potions for skin and smelling salts for fragile ladies whose corsets were tied a little too tight.

Unfortunately, over the years, many "lavender" scented items became filled with synthetics and fillers which actually irritated our airways and lost all of their benefits. People even started giving lavender a bad reputation as being unsafe because of all the synthetic, chemical-laden products that had been used bearing its name. There is more lavender oil sold than grown in the world which doesn't really add up right. But, hooray! Young Living began growing and distilling its own lavender to ensure a high quality oil, making sure that we had the real thing again.

Today we use our Young Living Lavender Oil in many similar ways. In our lotions, bath products, sleep roll-ons, diffusers, and on our precious babies. It is a gentle oil with a calming effect on everything from our respiratory systems, to our skin, to our emotions. So when you have a problem and you want something to be comforted, whether it's your irritated nose, your foot, or your baby, remember lavender oil!

+ Add to diffuser for calming and sleep

+ Apply to palms and inhale deeply when upset or tense

+ rub on babies feet when cranky or in need of a good sleep.

DAY ELEVEN ✨ of “18 days of Your Starter Kit”

FRANKINCENSE

Meet Frank!

The gift that keeps on giving! Frankincense has been used to ground and focus the mind during times of prayer and mental strain or grief. It also has a similar effect inside the body, encouraging the cells and functions to come back to their foundations.


+ Apply topically for skin benefits, helping the skin to restore to more of its natural state.

+ Add to diffuser or palms and inhale deeply to increase focus and to ground and allow deep thinking.

+ Rub on the feet or chest to support overall wellness.

Frankincense is one that I literally use every single night! You can put a roller right on the end of the bottle and add it to your night time routine.
Since Frank is a little more expensive, I put 30 drops in a roller bottle and top with fractionated coconut oil. This makes it last a little longer for me! However, you can apply this oil neat, or without dilution.

Before bed, I roll it down the back of my neck and on the lines of my face. Not only is it incredibly grounding, it also supports my skin better than ever!

The benefits are never ending!
Tell me your love for Frank!!!

DAY TEN ✨✨

PEACE & CALMING

Sorry I missed yesterday!! It just got away from me. We were up in OK with the cows and I just didn’t really get on my phone. But, I have to tell you all about Peace and Calming!!

This blend is amazing! I love to diffuse it at night while I’m taking a bath, or while Kaden is taking a bath. I love diffusing before bed.

I also love to put a couple drops in my hands, rub them together and rub on my neck and arms, even over my clothes. I do this for me, but I also did this when Kaden was a fussy little babe and it would calm him right down.

+ Add a few drops to your face lotion to boost the moisturizing properties and watch those blemishes fade away. With its combination of Young Living’s Blue Tansy and Orange essential oils, Peace & Calming is a great addition to your skincare routine and as a perfume to help with mindfulness and peace throughout the day!

+Routine is so so important for my kiddos in finding balance and security throughout the day and especially at night! I love to rub Peace & Calming on their feet as we start the process of working towards bed and let that subtle scent carry us through our bedtime routine.

+ When the to-do list just seems to keep growing and the home starts to feel chaotic, add these oils to your diffuser and let the relaxing and invigorating scent flow through your home and senses :
3 drops Peace & Calming,
3 drops Bergamot,
2 drops Lavender,
1 drop Spearmint.

+When the day has been crazy and you just need to treat yourself for a few minutes add 5 drops of Peace & Calming, 5 drops of Copaiba essential oil, and ½ cup Espom salt to a hot bath and let the stressors melt away for a little while.

Who loves their Peace and Calming?!

DAY NINE ✨✨

VALOR

Valor is quite possibly my very favorite oil! I use it in my daily routine. After I finish putting my makeup on, I put a few drops in my hands, rub them together, rub my wrists, my neck and then smell my hands. Kaden is usually standing there so he always smells my hands too!

It makes me feel ready to take on the day! It is an uplifting blend with courage to tackle the day ahead of me.

Valor can support us emotionally big time.

"Meet Valor .... The rich and slightly fruity scent of this blend makes it a favorite for many. This can be a key oil in overcoming emotional abuse and recovering from trauma. It's a powerhouse when facing a trial or season of adversity. Its natural properties help align the body both emotionally and physically."

VALOR is a blend that is close to the heart of Gary and YL. The integrity of this valuable blend will always be of highest priority.

This is our bravery oil.
Our courage oil.
Our fortitude oil.
Use it to greet each morning with a positive attitude, and to refocus at the end of a challenging day.

It will support our brain and our body in just the right way to offer us amazing support.

You can diffuse this oil or use it topically. You will love it!!

15/01/2021

RAVEN ✨✨

This oil is minty and wonderful!! It’s great as a chest rub or support for your respiratory system!

It is great used topically or even diffused!

CHEST RUB: put a drop of raven in a splotch of coconut oil combined with lemon and thieves!!

13/01/2021

DAY SEVEN ✨✨CITRUS FRESH!

This amazing blend is made up of six oils: orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin and spearmint. This is one of the most uplifting and refreshing oils I have used!

Citrus Fresh works with both sides of the brain to help us release fear and stress. Because it balances the body and brings equilibrium, it can be both uplifting and calming at the same time.

This is a great one to diffuse especially in the morning to get your day started off! For an unbelievable treat, add some peppermint!!

Have you heard of “Thieves Fresh Cleaner,” Try adding 8-10 drops of Citrus Fresh into your bottle of pre-made Thieves Cleaner.

If you're a fan of Lemon or any of the citrus oils in your water or Ningxia... you'll love Citrus Fresh dropped in too. It's a great boost to support the immune system and overall health!

A few other ways to use this oil:
+ Diffuse to purify the air
+ Helps stimulate the right side of the brain
+ Clean fresh scent to any environment!
+ Inhale directly from the bottle to reduce stress and promote emotional strength.
+ Diffuse while studying to help support mental clarity.
+ Rub 2-4 drops on your feet, neck and chest to boost your energy before workout.

Here’s a few diffuser blends you can try!
+Lavender + Peppermint + Citrus Fresh
+2 drops each, Jade Lemon, Citrus Fresh, Release
+Bergamot + citrus fresh
+Stress Away+ citrus fresh

I also love adding citrus fresh to my moisturizer because the citrus helps brighten the skin!

Or, you can add a couple drops to some water and then pour it on your plant babies! They will love it!

12/01/2021

DAY SIX ✨✨PEPPERMINT

Classic! Staple! Life Saver! This oil is basic but EVERYTHING! From crisp diffuser blends to muscle soothing, cleaning and tension relief, peppermint is the jack of all trades and one that we have on hand always! Approximately 1 pound of peppermint plants is made into one 15 ml bottle of peppermint oil that has primary components of menthol and menthyl acecate that contribute to that dreaming cooling sensation we love in this oil!

Last night, I put this oil in the diffuser with a couple ice cubes and it had a cooling affect! It was pretty fun!

Some of the many uses of this oil :

• Add 5-10 drops to your DIY cleaners around the house

• Use few drops on your temples, neck or tummy when you feel head tension coming on or upset stomach

• Add a few drops of Peppermint Vitality to your water or coffee for a little extra pick me up OR to your favorite baked goods for a minty pop

• Inhale from the bottle or a drop in your hands for a quick reset in your busy day

• Rub a few drops on sore muscles after a workout for that cooling sensation that revitalizes and refreshes. I like to put a few drops on my hands and rub on my neck after sitting at the computer all day

Peppermint is one of my favorite oils with so many wonderful uses!

11/01/2021

DAY FIVE

GOO GONE!

One of my FAVORITE uses for lemon is its incredible ability to remove anything sticky, gooey, or unwanted off of surfaces with ease.

Living with a toddler makes me very appreciative for the power of lemon, can I get an amen?

We use it to remove price tags off glassware and hard surfaces, to get marker, crayon, pen and pencil off ALL the surfaces, in every day cleaning and more!

It also tastes great in your water!!

What are your favorite ways to use the power of lemon in your home?
