Wait. This is a cleaner. Cleaners are supposed to clean things. As in...removing bacteria & other microbes, among other undesirables. If it works to actually CLEAN things then...um...how can there be bacteria present AND alive at levels high enough to warrant a RECALL??? :O :O :O

Here is a link for more recall info:

If you research the ingredients, you'll find that this stuff is already toxic on it's own - chock full of ingredients that are endocrine disrupters, linked to developmental & reproductive toxicity, are skin irritants, lung & sinus irritants, etc. Don't ever take my word for it...this is a great opportunity to empower yourself with some new knowledge! :) A great way to get more info is to plug the ingredients into your favorite search engine coupled with the terms "dangers of". The more you know, ya know?

Have you ever wondered how your CITRUS oils get into those little bottles? Dr. Wooley can tell you!

01/16/2023

Lavender is a very special essential oil. It has so many uses that it is often referred to as the "Swiss Army Knife" of essential oils. That is a LOT of benefit of ONE oil!

It was one of the first oils I used, but I really didn't like it at first. Now, my days are not nearly as productive & balanced without it.

How do you like to use your Lavender?

Annnnd here is part 2 of a History of Young Living in Pictures. :)

Click here to read Part I of this series. In our conclusion to this two-part look into the life of Young Living founder D. Gary Young, we’ll examine more closely how Gary was able to share his love of essential oils with the world. By taking a hands-on approach

The winter is particularly hard on our skin...it is harsh, drying & leaves us in need of some extra moisture. Here are some oils that help support healthy, radiant skin.

One of my favorites is is Myrrh, Frank, Heli & Rose mixed with some high quality, organic Raspberry Seed Oil.

What makes Young Living so special? What sets us apart from ALL other essential oils companies? What goes into bringing us these amazing drops of oil? Passion, love, dedication, blood, sweat & tears. This is Part One of a multi-part series of the History of Young Living in Pictures.

Yes, it is from a few years back, but our story hasn't changed...it's just been added to.

It’s no secret that D. Gary Young is the modern-day father of essential oils, but few people know the details of his life and what led him to unlocking the pure power of plants. Over the course of more than 30 years, Gary Young has dedicated his life to researching the traditional methods

As we all know, Young Living has decided to sunset the Savvy Minerals line so that we can focus on our wheelhouse - essential oils, supplements & non-toxic cleaning & hygiene products. It will be available until everything sells out & whatever is already out of stock is permanently gone.

Now that Savvy is no longer an option, we are in the position to have to find the least toxic option available. There are sooooooo many things to consider & almost as many cosmetic lines to evaluate. It is a BIG task trying to decipher which ones are safe, which aren't or which things you can cherry pick from various lines to put together your own non-toxic collection. It would be SO nice if there were an Easy Button!

Wellllllll...good news - there IS! Jen O'Sullivan has got an Easy Button for us! If you don't know who she is here is a brief intro: she holds a degree in Naturopathy, is currently studying to become a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor & is the author of about 50 books including The Supplements Desk Reference (which is one of my FAVORITE reference materials) as well as 8 other Amazon BESTSELLERS, has a group where she is breaking down a TON of these cosmetics lines & telling us EXACTLY what we need to know!

In her group, she is digging deep & finding allllll the dirt to get us to the gems!

Here is an excerpt of her review of Seint:

Please know, Seint is FAR from clean. In fact it is one of the most toxic makeup lines I have ever seen. I will not put this on my face so please stop asking me to test it. See below for the myriad of synthetics and toxins that are contained in this brand. If you want to put toxic chemicals all over your face, this brand packs a punch! This product line also contains lots of animal byproducts such as lanolin (sheep wool oil) and beeswax.

Lip + Cheek (contains various toxins based on color)
Paraffin - a petroleum byproduct used most often in hot wax treatments. It clogs pores and is synthetic.
**Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly) **- used as a moisturizer and lubricant - may cause skin irritation, allergies, and is linked to cancer.
Polybutene - a synthetic polymer (plastic) for smoothing.
Phenoxyethanol - a glycol that acts as a preservative and fragrance (has a rose-like aroma).
Polybutene - a synthetic polymer (plastic) for smoothing.
Octinoxate - a chemical sunscreen that is an endocrine disruptor that may cause reproductive toxicity and is harmful to aquatic life
**Flavor **- synthetic flavorings
ALL SYNETHETIC DYES! - appears as Red, Blue, or Yellow with a number or the word Lake, produced from aluminum or coal tar or petroleum.

COPAIBA! I use this oil with nearly everything. This is an oil that I am sure to have at LEAST 2 unopened bottles of at all times. Why? Because it is POWERFUL!

Copaiba is an "amplifier"...this means that it makes any oil or blend of oils that it is used with even more powerful. It amplifies the effects of other oils.

However, it has many powerful uses & benefits in it's own right.

*************************************************************************
How do you use your Copaiba?

12/26/2022

R.C. is a blend we LOVE...especially this time of year. I love diffusing it with Thieves & Orange...it smells AWESOME, but helps give a BIG boost to your immune system. And make sure you drink your NingXia Red!

It is also a great one to put on before a workout to help oxygenate your blood.

**************************************************************************
What do you do with your RC?

12/24/2022

Frankincense. Is. AWESOME! There is a reason they gave it to the Baby Jesus upon his birth! It's uses & powers are MANY!!! There is SOOOOOO much that I wish I could say about it, but this is one of those oils where you REALLY need to research it - put "benefits of frankincense" into your search engine & be AMAZED at what you find!

I put it in my homemade skin cream, we use it on cuts to help reduce the appearance of scars & "stuff" :D , it stimulates the immune system, we use it for focus & it is also a great, uplifting mood enhancer...

***************************************************************************

Please tell us below what love your Frank for! :)

Today is Christmas Eve &, except for some scheduled posts, I will be taking the next several days off to spend with my family & friends, particularly because John has been working so much since taking his new job. I won't be around much until probably Thursday & from then until the end of the first week of January, I will be around sporadically. If you have a pressing issue arise, please contact your sponsor or use my business text number. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas filled with joy, happiness, uncontrollable laughter, lots of oils & are surrounded by people you love & who love you in return! And REMEMBER...everything does NOT have to be perfect - this season is about being together & creating happy memories.

12/23/2022

Christmas Spirit is one of my favorites to diffuse year 'round. I especially like it with Believe. It Is a scent that makes me happy just by smelling it. It is nice in a bath soak & even in homemade candles. I will diffusing it today while we are watching cheezy Christmas movies & finishing up the wrapping & baking.

Below, share one of your favorite uses, then look it up in your pocket reference & tell us one new thing you learned about it. :)

12/23/2022

Believe it or not, Christmas can be very stressful time of year. I like Stress Away all year long & LOVE the Vanilla Lime fragrance so much that I wear it as my perfume. It is nice diffused, too.

**************************************************************************
What do you like to use Stress Away for? Do you diffuse it with anything else or alone?

12/23/2022

Peppermint is AMAZEBALLS! I love to use the Peppermint Vitality in my Slique Tea, in my Chocolate Pure Protein Complete, in brownies & also in homemade peppermint patties. This past week, I used it in my meringue cookies - which are awesome floating on the top of your hot cocoa!

The regular peppermint is great to mix with water & spritz on the back of your neck when you are hot...it is also nice diffused with Lemon or En-R-Gee for a nice little energy boost & can help calm an upset stomach when inhaled.

**************************************************************************

How do YOU like to use Peppermint?

12/22/2022

Let's face it...not everyone can cook. I have used Purification MANY times to get the smells of a dinner gone wrong out of the house...I have 4 kids in various stages of learning how to cook. We use it much less now, though. It is also great for removing the stench of a teenage boys jiu-jitsu bag & makes a barn actually smell pleasant.

It is also great at removing the smell of 15 lbs of chicken breast left in the back of your SUV for the weekend during the summer in Texas! :O

*************************************************************************

How have you used your Purification? :)

12/21/2022

Thieves is THE. BEST.

We use it all day, every day this time of the year. It is such a wonderful blend that an entire expanded line of products was created around it! Thieves cleaner, Thieves toothpaste, Thieves dental floss, Thieves mouthwash, Thieves dishwasher soap, Thieves dish soap, Thieves fruit & veggie wash, Thieves bar soap, Thieves hand sanitizer, Thieves foaming hand soap, Thieves mints, Thieves Cough drops...It feels like a scene from Forrest Gump all of a sudden! LOL! We have alllllll the Thieves in our house...all amazing!

***********************************************************************************
What do you use your Thieves for? What other Thieves products do you use?

12/20/2022

DiGize is not one I would want to be without this time of year when all we seem to be doing is shopping & eating...& eating & shopping...& shopping & eating! LOL!

Formulated with things like Ginger, Peppermint & Fennel, it is excellent for occasional upset stomachs, overindulging & other tummy issues. It is one of The Boy's favorites & he uses it multiple times a week - because he eats like a teenage boy.
