The Travel Handbook 2023

The 2023 Travel Handbook

We don't go anywhere without our oils no matter whether we are heading to the grocery store or heading out of the country! These little bottles of plant magic not only make us happy, they improve our experiences, help prevent things going awry, and help keep us going when we hit bumps in the road! Here are our best tips, tricks, hacks and more for traveling (no matter the time of year!)

How to Travel with Oils

Our oils go wherever we go! Often they are in our backpacks, purses and cars either on their own or in a cute oil organizer, but when you're traveling by plane or leaving the country you will want to store them differently.

  • For plane travel, place your oil bottles or rollers in a 1 quart ziploc bag just like you do with your other liquids & gels, making sure to tighten the lids. We recommend keeping them in your carry-on luggage to avoid any leaks.
  • Choose NingXia Red packets and place them in the zip top bag with the other liquids.
  • When flying internationally ALWAYS check their TSA regulations as some may vary by country.
  • Grab a supplement organizer and fill it out with your Young Living supplements (we love Inner Defense, Super C Chewables and ImmuPro for travel!)
  • Grab a Bon Voyage travel Pack for TSA-approved sizes of your favorite Young Living personal care products and a perfectly sized carrier.

Quick Travel Hacks

Sometimes a good hack or two makes all the difference!

  • Reuse an essential oil bottle and fill with liquid carrier oil as a convenient way to dilute your oils when needed.
  • Reuse Thieves Hand Sanitizer bottles to make TSA-approved sizes of your shampoo, conditioner, etc.
  • Roll up your diffuser plug and stick inside the diffuser, then add the covers back to make sure you don't forget it! We like to travel with the Desert Mist since it is plastic, and you can even forgo the outer cover to save space!
  • Premix diffuser blends in empty 5mL bottles for convenience -- think Thieves + Orange for when you arrive and Lavender, Valor and Frankincense for sweet sleep when traveling!
  • Utilize the packet versions of supplements: AlkaLime for happy bellies, KidScents MightyPro as an adult probiotic that doesn't need refrigeration, KidScents Unwind as a nightly magnesium supplement.
  • Quick tip! - Dining outside & want to keep the bugs away? Grab an outdoor fan, put a few drops of Citronella + Geranium on a clothespin (or two!) & attach to the front of the fan & you have yourself a giant outdoor diffuser!

Top 10 Travel Essentials

The oils and products you take with you will vary a bit depending on your destination, but these ten are ones we always have with us when we travel!


Motion Sickness Tamers

Travel excitement can quickly take a nose dive when you or someone else is feeling queasy with motion sickness. Here are our best tips to tame that feeling!

  • Peppermint - ALL the Peppermint! Inhale straight from the bottle, dilute and apply over the chest, throat, shoulders and back of the neck, diffuse in the car if possible.
  • AromaEase - Dilute this blend and apply it over the abdomen, along the back of the neck ideally starting before the motion sickness hits. 
  • DIY Tummy Tamer Tumbler:
    • Fill a large glass/tumbler with water and ice
    • Add 1 drop DiGize Vitality, 2-3 drops Lemon Vitality
    • Option to add 1 drop Peppermint Vitality
    • Drink as tolerated, ideally start before the motion sickness gets too bad
  • DIY Motion Tamer Roll-on:
    • 10-20 drops each Peppermint, Ginger, Frankincense
    • Carrier of choice
    • Roll over the abdomen liberally and frequently
  • Hydration with minerals/electrolytes - Try to start the trip super hydrated and maintain that as much as possible throughout. Add Mineral Essence and Lemon Vitality to your water, bring the Lavender Lemonade Vitality Drops with you on a plane, or even mix in AminoWise to a bottle of water.

Camping Necessities

Ohhh the great outdoors! We love getting outside and exploring, and naturally, we take all our favorite oils and products with us to keep everyone happy and healthy.

Citronella, Geranium + a battery-powered diffuser - When you're lounging at your campsite with a book in hand, this combo will be your BFF! Fill a battery-powered diffuser with 5-7 drops each Citronella and Geranium essential oils and enjoy the delicious aroma and pest-free zone!

Insect Repellent & Insect Repellent Wipes - This formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bites, so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free!

Insect Repellent Spray Hack -  Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
  • Continuous spray bottle or an empty Thieves Spray bottle
  • Bottle of YL Insect Repellant
  • 3 TBSP fractionated coconut oil or ClaraDerm Cooling Mist
  • 20 drops Citronella essential oil
  • Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!) 
DIY Outdoor Spray - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations? You can also add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella.
  • Small continuous spray bottle or an empty Thieves  Spray Bottle
  • 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, Lavender
  • 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata, Tea Tree
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil carrier or carrier of choice or ¼ part Witch Hazel to ¾ part Distilled Water
  • Note: If you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also if you feel you need a stronger formula or are extremely susceptible to outdoor pests add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium! 
DIY Itch Stick - for those times you forget your insect repellent!
  • In a rollerball, combine 10 drops Purification, 10 drops Lavender + 10 drops Lemon, and top with a carrier oil. Roll on bug bites & itches.
Lavender Essential Oil - We don't call this the Swiss Army Knife for no reason! Someone needs a little calm? Grab your Lavender. Skin saw too much sun? Grab your Lavender. Little one stepped in an ant bed? Grab your Lavender. Blooming flowers got you down? Grab your Lavender!

Mineral Sunscreen - Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes -- reef-safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?! 

Mineral Sunscreen Spray Hack:
  • Continuous spray bottle
  • Bottle of YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 5 TBSP fractionated coconut oil or ClaraDerm Cooling Mist
  • 20 drops Carrot Seed essential oil
  • Optional: 30 drops Citronella essential oil
  • Add all items to the spray bottle and shake well!

Beach Essentials

We are always ready for a day (or week!) in the sunshine and sand! Here's what we're always packing in our beach bags:


Wellness 101

Travel can sometimes give our immune systems a run for their money, so we start giving them extra support a couple of weeks before travel when possible! Think extra Wellness Rollers, Super C Chewables, Inner Defense and even extra NingXia Red. Then, when we travel we keep these in our daily arsenal:

  • Master Formula - Our favorite daily multivitamin that packs a HUGE nutritional punch and helps us work towards daily wellness. The prepackaged capsules make traveling with this supplement so easy, too!
  • Daily NingXia Red - If there were only one habit that you could start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it! This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family.
  • Super C Chewables - Plant-based, whole-food vitamin C infused with citrus essential oils for a great-tasting immune system boost! These chewable tablets are great for the whole family.
  • Wellness roller- We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet or along the spine morning and evening year round, then use it more frequently as needed! To a 10mL roller bottle add:
    • 25 drops each Thieves, Pine, Lemon
    • 20 drops each Geranium, Frankincense
    • Fill with carrier of choice
I hope you enjoy this Travel Handbook. May your days full of sun and fun!

YL Lotions - Ditch and Switch August 2022

Ditch & Switch:

Conventional Lotions for YL Lotions



As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options. When it comes to caring for the children in our lives, having safe, effective products is absolutely critical. This is actually why many people turn to Young Living in the first place!

The KidScents line of products is perfect for kids - oils, personal care items, vitamins and more! But that doesn't mean it's just for kids! Check out this one simple change you can make for your health and for your kids - ditch conventional lotions for Young Living versions!

Why We Love YL Lotions

  • Formulated without silicones, formaldehyde carriers, PEGs, mineral oil,  most common allergens, alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic perfumes and fragrances, or artificial dyes/colorants.
  • Keep skin soft, hydrated and feeling and looking healthy with plant-based ingredients and scented only with pure essential oils
  • Variety of scents available, even seasonal ones
  • Collections available for babies, kids and adults alike
  • Formulated to be cruelty-free and vegan-friendly so you can feel good about your purchase
Conventional Lotions vs YL Lotions

Let's ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores. Sadly conventional products are chock full of synthetic ingredients that wreak havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice!), and filling our systems with chemicals that cause damage over time. Fragrance, parabens, triclosan, artificial colorants  to name a few! And none of us want that for ourselves or our families!! 

Young Living's hand and body lotions are made from naturally derived oils, butters, botanical extracts, and premium essential oils to soften and smooth dry, dehydrated skin. Ingredients such as jojoba oil, kukui nut oil, and mango and shea butter—rich in fatty acids and vitamins—provide nourishing moisture to the skin and help prevent future moisture loss. Plus, they are formulated without silicones, formaldehyde carriers, PEGs, mineral oil, most common allergens, alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic perfumes and fragrances, or artificial dyes/colorants. This means that you can feel good about what you're using on your skin and your children's skin!

  • Naturally high in vitamin E
  • Contains cold-pressed, premium watermelon seed oil, which works as a moisturizing skin conditioner

KidScents GeneYus Oil Spotlight - August 2022

GeneYus Essential Oil Spotlight

OOTM
KidScents GeneYus essential oil blend is our go-to blend for focus, especially for our children! This blend offers a beautiful, rich aroma that promotes an atmosphere for inspiration, productivity, and positivity that is ideal for concentrating on projects or schoolwork. KidScents GeneYus is excellent to diffuse when children need to re-center during homework time.

Just a Drop of GeneYus

  • Helps create a sharp, fresh environment that is great while children work on schoolwork and projects
  • Excellent to diffuse while working for a productive, positive atmosphere
  • Promotes an environment for inspiration with a blend of premium essential oils
  • Formulated without mineral oil, synthetic perfumes, wheat, soy, corn, synthetic dyes, or artificial colors
  • Prediluted for delicate skin and easy application
KidScents GeneYus can be diffused or used topically to promote a focused environment and inspire creativity. Formulated specifically to meet the needs of children, this essential oil blend is soothing when used topically with gentle massage and adds an excellent aroma to create productive, positive atmospheres. 

Key Ingredients

KidScents GeneYus contains many essential oils that work well together to promote a sense of calm and focus. Frankincense, Vetiver and Cedarwood are high in sesquiterpenes, constituents that are specifically supportive of calming brain waves into focused or even meditative states. These oils combine with other oils like Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Northern Lights Black Spruce to create a blend that promotes a productive, calm and grounded atmosphere.

Frankincense - Is there anything this oil cannot do? Frankincense is a wonderful tool when it comes to soothing the mind and emotions and grounding us in the present - a tool that is very helpful when we need to focus. 

Cedarwood - 98% sesquiterpenes, this oil is incredible for focus as it helps the brain waves from high frequency to focused through its ability to support the pineal gland.

Blue Cypress, Idaho Blue Spruce, Northern Lights Black Spruce, & Palo Santo - all of these tree oils help with grounding, calming and supporting an environment of focused inspiration.

Vetiver - 97% sesquiterpenes, this oil is incredible for focus as it helps the brain waves from high frequency to focused through its ability to support the pineal gland. The aroma is very soothing and grounding.

Rose - Rose is a high frequency oil which helps regulate the mood and emotions and provides an uplifting, inspiring aroma.

Ylang Ylang & Geranium - These floral oils help to balance energies and provide a sense of ease and happiness for the emotions.

Coriander, Hyssop, & Myrrh - Calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, these oils are also cleansing and can help stimulate clarity. 

Bergamot & Melissa - High in limonene, these citrus family oils are great for elevating the mood and calming anxious thoughts.

Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood - 90% sesquiterpenes, this oil is incredible for focus as it helps the brain waves from high frequency to focused. Plus it smells wonderful!

Key Constituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties

Sesquiterpenes
  • Deliver oxygen molecules to the cells (the same way red blood cells deliver hemoglobin), stimulate the limbic system of the brain to elevate the mood and calm the body. 
  • Help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands - the glands responsible for producing hormones related to sleep and stress.
  • Stimulate Beta Wave Production in the brain, which helps with alertness. When we are performing activities that require extensive focus, our brains need to produce more beta waves. Sesquiterpene compounds support our ability to do just that. 
  • Help delete traumatic or negative information in cellular memory, so they can be helpful when undergoing a trauma - chemical trauma, physical trauma or emotional trauma.
Essential Oils & Focus - from Ashely Christian

Essential oils are a great tool when it comes to focus! This is in part because essential oils have tiny molecules that can effectively cross the blood brain barrier. Smell is the only sense with receptor nerve endings directly to the brain, which is why inhaling essential oils is the most effective way to address anything brain or emotion related because you bypass that barrier altogether.

Dr. Terry Friedmann conducted a study with children and essential oils using EGG testing of brain waves while administering the TOVA mental focus test. He had an unmedicated “low focus” group and a normal control group and administered the oils Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender by having kids inhale the oil deeply three times separately over the course of 30 days. He found a 32% improvement in mental focus in the Vetiver group, similar results in the Cedarwood group, and no changes in the Lavender group.

Product Options

Daily Habits with GeneYus

  • Apply 2−4 drops directly to desired area (the back of the neck is a great place to apply this blend)
  • Pack a roller in your child's backpack for him or her to use as needed throughout the day. Apply over the heart, on the wrists, back of the neck.
  • Recommended application is for children ages 2−12.
  • Dilution is not required, except for the most sensitive skin.
  • Add a few drops to diffuser jewelry or a paracord bracelet for your child to inhale as needed throughout the day. 
  • Keep the roller by the front door and have everyone roll some on the back of their neck before they leave for school. If you don't have the roller, then apply one drop of the oil to the desired area.
  • Diffuse alone or add any other oils of your choice. This is wonderful during homework, during homeschool, while working on a project, etc. 
  • Keep a bottle handy during school work and take deep inhales as needed.
  • This blend isn't just for kids! GeneYus is a great choice for adults and anyone needing some extra support when it comes to focus.
Join us in using KidScents GeneYus essential oil blend this month and beyond. Want to try GeneYus, but don't know where to start, click here to get started.

Young & Young at Heart Essentials for August 2022

Essentials for the
Young & Young at Heart

When it comes to the health of our families, we want the best for everyone, including our children. Sadly, the conventional options for supplements, personal care and children's health are severely lacking (and often cause more harm than good). One thing we love about the YL products is that we can use natural, effective options for both ourselves and our kiddos! Whether or not you have little feet running through your house, you'll love these favorites for the young and the young at heart! 

Add these favorites to your Loyalty Rewards order for even more perks! I mean, is there anything better than your favorite, healthy products showing up on your doorstep each month? What about getting free products and product credits just for ordering things you're already using? Sounds like a winning situation to us! Which is why we love ordering using the Loyalty Rewards. We ditch conventional, toxic products for safe, clean Young Living versions, save money, save time, create a natural home, and get freebies all at the same time! 

To set up a Loyalty order, search for the products on the ‘Essentials' list, then click ‘Add to Loyalty Order.' You can manage your subscriptions by going to ‘My Account' and ‘Loyalty Order'. You can edit your order each month to reflect what you need (hello easy button!), change the order date and shipping options.

Lavender Hand & Body Lotion

Super C Chewable Tablets

Super C Chewable Tablets prove 150mg of plant based Vitamin C in one serving (one tablet).

Super C Chewable tablets are one of our daily favorites.

Read all about this amazing vitamin supplement on this month's Supplement Spotlight blog post.

MightyZymes

Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Unfortunately the average diet and even the soil quality of our produce lead us to be sorely depleted in enzymes at an early age.

Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients! These chewable enzyme talbots area great choice for kids and adults alike.

The Summer Handbook 2022

The 2022 Summer Handbook

Hello summer. Warm weather, sunshine-filled days and vacations (or staycations) are on the agenda, and we are ready for it all - with our favorite oils and Young Living products in tow! The lazy days of summer won't find us relaxing on our health, so here are some of our best tips, tricks, recipes and DIYs for enjoying the summer months to the fullest.

Wellness 101

School may be out for the summer, but we aren't getting lax on our wellness routines. Summer is a great time to really focus on great daily wellness habits that we can continue when the colder months arrive! Here are five simple things we're dong everyday this summer to focus on true self-care and overall health.

Master Formula
Our favorite daily multivitamin that packs a HUGE nutritional punch and helps us work towards daily wellness. The prepackaged capsules make traveling with this supplement so easy, too. Check out the Master Formula Supplement Spotlight bog post for more on this daily favorite.

Daily Red (NingXia Red, that is!)
If there were only one habit that you can start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it. This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family. Check out the NingXia Red Spotlight blog post for more on this incredible supplement.

Wellness Roller
This bend is something we use year round to help keep our immune systems on the go! We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet, or along the spine morning and evening year round, then us it more frequently as needed. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Thieves, Pine & Lemon
  • 20 drops each Geranium & Frankincense
  • fill with a carrier oil of choice
    Note: If you plan to be in direct sunlight, apply this somewhere your clothing will cover.
Diffusing 24/7
If we are awake (and even overnight too), our diffuser is on . Diffusing is such an incredible health habit. Not only will your home or office (and car too) smell amazing, you get the health benefits of breathing in the oils.

  • Start the morning off with Raven + Lemon to get everyone going and support the airways
  • Set the stage for a peaceful midday rest with Lavender + Grapefruit + Vanilla.
  • Bring the 'afternoon pick-me-up' vibes of a cup of coffee with Peppermint + Tangerine + Stress Away.
  • End your day with Thieves + Cedarwood to boost immunity and promote restful sleep.
Ditching and Switching
One of the biggest impacts you can have on your health is by ditching conventional products that are FULL of toxins and fragrance. Sadly these ingredients are often hidden or disguised by clever marking (greenwashing anyone?) or renamed as things that sound more natural. Here are a few simple swaps to make this summer.


Wellness Bonus - Raindrop Oral Spray

Sometimes our defenses need a little extra boost, and this combinational of oils is our go-to when we need something a little 'more.' This is a great one to have on hand when traveling. To a 10 mL glass spray bottle, add:

Did you see all of these other DIY Oral Sprays to add to your arsenal? Check it out for so many more oral sprays to try!

Fun in the Sun

'Tis the season for hot, sunshine-filled days, and we want to soak in every second of it while staying safe and health. Here are our top three necessities for safe, healthy fun in the sun.


Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes - reef safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?

Quick Tip - Make YL's Mineral Sunscreen application easy with this hack! Makes it even easier to apply, especially with kids by adding some to your hands and apply to the face.


LavaDerm After Sun Spray is your first aid kit BFF! LavaDerm brings relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, or really any minor skin irritation. Whether or not your skin has seen a little too much sun or wind, this spray will help you feel soothed and refreshed. Apply after a day outdoors for a sigh of relief.

Quick Tip - If you need some relief ASAP and don't have any LavaDerm on hand, try this DIY After Sun Spray:

No one wants to come in from a wonderful day outdoors with tons of itchy bites from outdoor pests... and you won't have to with the Young Living Insect Repellent! This liquid formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bits - so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free.

This incredible formula is gentle enough for the little ones, yet effective. You can use an empty Thieves Surface Spray bottle for easy applications. It is also available as wipes, with makes application on the go super easy!

Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
  • Continuous spray bottle
  • Bottle of YL Insect Repellent
  • 3 tbsp fractioned coconut oil or ClaraDerm Spray
  • 20 drops Citronella essential oil
    Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!)
Quick Tip - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations - add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella. Also try this DIY Outdoor Spray. To a small continuous spray bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, & Lavender
  • 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata & Tea Tree
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil or carrier of choice
    Note: if you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also, if you feel you need a stronger formula or are expertly susceptible to outdoor pests, add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium.

Photosensitive Oils


Summer and citrus oils are synonymous, and we are all about using citrus oils this time of year. As always, we want to keep everyone healthy and safe, so make sure to separate application of citrus oils and exposure to sunlight. As a general rule, avoid direct UV exposure to an area where you applied citrus oils for a minimum of 12 hours, up to 48 hours.

WHY?
Citrus Oils (and some others) contain natural molecules that react with sunlight and cause sensitivity to the skin. All of the Young Living oils and blends that contain these compounds re labeled with a warming to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying.

Does that mean you have to put your beloved Grapefruit and Bergamot away for the summer? NO WAY! Just apply to areas that won't be exposed to the sun for at least 24 hours (basically under your clothes). And you can always diffuse.

Beach Essentials

Summertime and beach trips are synonymous, and we are ready for all the sunshine and sand. Here's what we're packing in our beach bags this year.

Quick tip - Easily remove all the sand from everyone's feet, legs, and hands with Seedlings Baby Wipes. We keep a pack in every bag for easy sand removal and clean, fresh hands.

NingXia Red Recipes

Daily Red is a thing in our household - everyone gets their NingXia Red every day! And whether we just want to mix thing up a bit or want a healthier alternative to conventional options, these NingXia Red recipes are favorites in our summer rotation.

Superfood Lemonade Popicles

These simple, delicious popsicles are a HUGE hit in our house, and my kids love to help make them. The best part is you can't mess them up. There isn't a specific amount of each ingredient needed, so just pour a little of each item into your mold and go.
Quick Tip - Heading out to the pool, beach or a hike? Simply freeze your NingXia packets overnight, then pack in a plastic bag and enjoy that afternoon as a cool, slushy-like treat.

Anytime NingXia Spritzers

Whether you're pool side, riding in the car or simply lounging on your couch or porch, this spritzer is the perfect companion. But be warned, your kids/friends/husband will want to setal it.
Go Red Electrolyte Replacement

Ditch the artificially flavored and colored electrolyte drinks and whip up your own with this simple recipe. You can also always grab the Lavender Lemonade or Grapefruit Bergamot Vitality Drops for a quick electrolyte boost as well.
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 4 oz NingXia Red
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 1-2 drops Young Living Vitality of choice: Tangerine, Orange, Lime, Citrus Fresh or Grapefruit
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Mix all ingredients in a blender with some ice for one of the most refreshing drinks EVER. You could even do this without a blender - just throw everything in a shaker cup and enjoy.

Summertime Self Care

DIY Summer Glow Serum

Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game-changer. Apply pouring and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed 'Botox in a Bottle,' so you know it's good!) To a 
2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
DIY Vitamin C Facial Toner

Vitamin C and Geranium are a dynamic duo when it comes to brightening the skin. Try out this simple toner as we head into the summer. To a 2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • 1.5 tsp organic Vitamin C powder
  • 5 drops Geranium essential oil
  • 3 tbsp distilled water
  • splash of alcohol-free witch hazel (optional for more oil-prone skin)
    Mix Vitamin C powder into the water until dissolved, then add Geranium and top with a splash of witch hazel (optional). Use morning and evening as desired. Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
Moisturizing Oatmeal Soak

Sun and wind and heat can leave the skin needing a little extra moisture. Give your skin (and your whole self!) some TLC with a long, luxurious soak with these simple but effective ingredients.

Summer Blockbuster Diffuser Blends

Summertime movies on the lawn anyone? These blends are reminiscent of warm nights in the grass watching our favorite movies with our favorite people.

Sweet Magnolias - 4 drops Orange + 3 drops Vanilla + 3 drops Grapefruit + 2 drops Lime
Emily in Paris - 4 drops Jasmine + 3 drops Tangerine + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 2 drops Lime
Yellowstone - 4 drops 
Northern Lights Black Spruce + 3 drops Bergamot + 3 drops Vanilla + 2 drops Clove
Grease - 4 drops Stress Away + 3 drops Neroli or Orange + 4 drops Jasmine
The Sandlot - 5 drops KidPower (or Valor + Vanilla) + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 3 drops Lavender

Summer Stock Up - 2022


Summer Stock Up

Summer is just around the corner, and we are ready for long days of warmth and sunshine and lower schedules!

We're stocking up on these seasonal favorites to make the most of this coming season and to be prepared for the inevitable bumps in the road.


Travel Favorites

Whether you're going on a plane, train, or automobile or having a staycation, here are the travel necessities we're stocking up on now (before they sell out!)

Enjoy the outdoors without pesky pests. This insect repellant is a crowd favorite because it works, it's safe for the whole family (no DEET here) and it super convenient. It comes as a liquid and as wipes.

Protect tender skin with the power of plants with YL's Mineral Sunscreen. Safe and effective for you and safe for reefs as well. A little goes a long way with this water-resistant formula, so its definitely a staple in our household.

These predicted roller blends are perfect for stashing in your suitcase, purse, backpack or first aid kit! Owie is great for owes, TummyGize is everyone's tummy BFF, SniffleEase is great for sniffles, and SleepyIze is perfect for winding down at the end of the day.


Trust us when we say these wipes are life savers! Use to quickly clean hands, soothe skin post-sun, even remove sand from the skin. You can also use them as makeup remover wipes and for their obvious, original intent. Soft and soothing on the skin but effective.



Thieves Spray is our go-to for cleaning ALL-THE-THINGS on the go - hands, high chairs, steering wheels, porta potties, even fruit in a pinch. We also keep a large bottle of Thieves Hand Sanitizer in each vehicle for easy use. Goodbye germs!

Wellness Favorites

The lazy days of summer have us relaxing more for sure, but one thing we're not relaxing on is our true self care and wellness routines! Even on vacation, we make sure to take our daily supplements and oils with us. Here is what we always pack:

NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement that has some amazing health benefits. Basically it is an antioxidant POWERHOUSE. This daily drink has so many health benefits, it's hard to list them in one place! Freeze the packets for a slushy-like afternoon treat, add them to smoothies or even make your own healthy popsicles.

It is easy for us to get dehydrated in the summertime. Sunshine, heat, and chlorine can quickly deplete our systems, and one way we love to combat that with electrolyte drops. Whether you choose Lavender Lemonade or Grapefruit Bergamot, these little drops are a tasty way to make sure you and yours stay hydrated this system.



Super B is one supplement we never want to be without. This B complex is an everyday must have all year round to help support healthy energy levels and decrease stress.

Skincare Needs

Summer means more time outside, which can leave everyone's skin needing a little extra TLC. Here are a few favorites we keep on hand to help!

Peppermint, Lavender, & Tea Tree essential oils
These three oils are wonderful for soothing skin after seeing a bit too much sun. Whip up a quick 'After Sun' balm, spray or roller with this trio and/or add it to Epsom salts to reduce the sting of tender skin.


Our go-to balm for any and every skin need! From wind or sun-chapped lips and cheeks to soothing owes to using as an ultra-hydrating moisturizer, this rose infused balm is a must have for every season.


The name of this product stays it all! Lavaderm is SO soothing to tender skin of any kind - from sunburns, bug bites, rug or trampoline burns - really anything that needs soothing. This spray combines Lavender and Peppermint with carrier oils that spray directly on skin - no rubbing required!


Grab this summery body butter to keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated all season long. Its great for everyday use and extra lovely after some time in the sunshine. Not a fan of coconut and lime? Try the Lushious Lemon Hand & Body Lotion!
