Mineral Sunscreen

June Ditch & Switch

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 beach bags this month and switch out convention chemical sunscreens for Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen. This switch is a simple one that can have a huge impact on your health and the health of your family.

• Oxybenzone - (sometimes called benzophenone-3) is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals, it is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photoallergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. In fact, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends avoiding oxybenzone because of concerns that this ingredient may disrupt hormones and cause allergic skin reactions. Oxybenzone is also harmful to aquatic life, in 2018 Hawaii banned it to protect coral reefs.
• Octinoxate - commonly used UV filter that protects from UVB rays, but not UVA rays. It may be listed as OMC, methoxy-cinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxy-cinnamate and is lined to endocrine disruption as well as reproductive toxicity. Researchers have detected octinoxate in breast milk, urine, and blood. Like oxybenzone, this ingredient was targeted in Hawaii's ban, as it harms coral reefs.
• Homosalate - a common ingredient that absorbs only UVB rays to prevent direct skin exposure. Homosalate is linked to hormone disruption and may also enhance the absorption and penetration of pesticides, including bug sprays, as well as other harmful ingredients found within sunscreen.

• Contains naturally derived plant and mineral based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide, so it's not absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Available in broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.
• Filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.
• Has a non-greasy, lightweight formula that goes on smoothly (aka no white residue).
• Stays water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes
• Carries an official global certification from the National Skin Cancer Foundation and is recommended for daily use to help prevent skin cancer.
• It is safe for ALL skin types and won't clog pores.
• It is reef safe! An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning ingredients that harm coral reefs.

• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays

• Wash and prime your face, then apply the SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen all over your face and rub it gently but completely. You may find it helpful to lightly set the sunscreen with a dusting of Diamond Dust before applying the rest of your makeup.
• Apply the rest of your Savvy Minerals as usual. Or, skip the full face look and tint your sunscreen with your Savvy Foundation. Quick and easy for summer days!

Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight

According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

• IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
• SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
• MAGNESIUM - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium. One serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily requirements.
• ZINC - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

• Iron - important in red blood cell formation, energy and cognitive function.
• Magnesium - supports nerves and muscles and activates over 100 enzymes.
• Molybdenum - contributes to grown and development.

Lavender

June's Oil Spotlight

Lavender essential oil has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, freshness, and beauty products. 

Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home, which is why its a part of the Everyday Oils Collection in the Starter Bundle. Lavender essential oil isn't a favorite only because if its classic scent - its also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in June. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Lavender AT A Glance

• Has a fresh, floral aroma that pairs well with many other oils
• Can help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations
• Can be soothing to the skin after a day in the sun
• May reduce the appearance of blemishes
• Support aging skin
• Cams and relaxes the mind and body
• Soothes seasonal respiratory needs

Background

• Fear and Abandonment, being left alone. By rubbing Lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentment to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good.
• Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too!) Using Lavender as perfume while paring it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self confidence.
• Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.

Daily Habits with Lavender

• Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense.
• Use Lavender as a part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
• Make a relaxing Lavender eye pillow (find the details here)
• Rub Lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm.
  • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin.
• Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix.
• Use Lavender seasonally to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal.
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Copaiba then fill it with carrier oil. Roll over the chest, wrists, or just below the nostrils.
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copiaba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt and dilute with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution.
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.

Summer sunshine, the scent of fresh herbs, and the feeling of warm earth beneath your feet - that is what this blend is about. Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon, and Basil round out a wonderful diffuser combination that is a little sweet, a little herbaceous and a little citrusy. And just like being outside and planting a summer garden is good for your immune system, breathing in these oils is too.

Ohhh, summer camp... late nights, bonfires, and good friends. That is what this blend brings to mind! Northern Lights Black Spruce pairs well with Tangerine any time of the day, but adding Cedarwood makes it perfect for sweet summertime sleep.

The Feelings Kit

May Ditch & Switch

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 emotions this month and switch out conventional coping mechanisms for healthier, healing options. 

For May, we are focusing on digging deep to release all our comfort vices, sit with and honor our experiences and trauma, and to the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love. Instead of turning to things like detachment, Netflix binges, alcohol, food, sugar, shopping, work, projects or any other comfort measures that keep us from truly processing the emotions beneath, we are going to pull out the Feelings Kit and use these oil blends with intention and consistency.

Harmony essential oil blend

• When we feel ignored, our perception is that we are not a part of the big picture. We aren't good enough, worthy enough, or able to play our part.
• When we are crushed, we are collapsing inwardly. Who we are has been forced down and suppressed. We stop seeing our part.
• When we are hostile, we are quick to see others as the enemy, and everything in life as an opposition to our part. We are trying to play alone, because we can't trust the other parts.
• Fear of punishment is the opposite of love. When we are beating ourselves up, we actually turn from love into fear. These are opposites.
• Sarcasm is an emotion that develops from long-term exposure to incongruent words and actions. Example: witnessing hypocrisy, or long periods of time living with someone who brings drama or trouble on themselves, remaining clueless to the cause. This emotion produces "mocking." Instead of harmony, it creates a repetitive and offensive sound that interrupts the notes of others.

• When there are situations where you are experiencing some of the emotions listed above, sit or stand still until you feel where that emotion is causing a sensation in your body. It might feel like pain, twitching, tingling, aching, nausea, heat, cold, or a general tension.
• Rub harmony over the area (or just nearby if its sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot.
• Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connections. 

Forgiveness oil blend

• Distrust results from being stressed, and stress is caused by many subconscious messages pulling us in different directions. To establish a healthier pattern of trust, we need "integrity," which is where our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can become consistent. No more secret messages internally scattering our thoughts.
• Old pattern: Distrust.  New pattern: Integrity
• Affirmation: "I honor truth."
• We can release old trauma and untruth that is stuck in the body, and we move forward with integrity.

• There is no such thing as turning your feelings off or magically being detached, so what we are doing here is to move in a different direction with a new and greater purpose - to detach or remove ourselves from the mission of revenge.
• When you diffuse Forgiveness, if relationships where you have wanted someone to get paid back resurface in your memory, you can take a moment to establish a thought pattern.
• Old pattern: Revenge.  New pattern: Detachment (move in a new direction.
• Affirmation: "I have a new mission. I am letting go of the old."

• The most common root of denying our own needs is expecting other to know what we need before we have asked. This leads to living with a spirit of neglect, blaming others, and unforgiveness. In fact, it often looks like taking care of everything under the sun EXCEPT for ourselves, and an underlying thought cycle that we are "the only one who does anything around here."
• Old pattern: Self-denial.  New pattern: Wisdom.
• Affirmation: "I support myself."

• I have courage to honor my truth.
• I learn from all experiences.
• I forgive (others or myself).
• I support myself.
• I am worthy.

Inner Child oil blend

• When someone tries to be honest, especially friends/family, we continually hear their voice criticizing us for months afterward.
• We find ourselves revisiting the same short list of past hurts on a regular basis, telling stories about what someone did or said to us, thinking each time that if we just vent... the pressure of that pain or offense will let up.
• We create an image of ourselves (typically a bad one) and no matter what we do to take care of ourselves, that recording makes sure we stay ashamed, disappointed, and hopeless, or...
• We finally start feeling better about ourselves because we have fulfilled an imaginary list of "things that will make us feel accomplished" - only to find that the stress of keeping up with that list starts to slowly steal from our relationships or our sanity.

• Overcoming the trauma of abuse
• Promoting acceptance
• Accepting our own needs
• Stimulating an emotional healing process
• Releasing obsessive habits and patterns
• Supporting the mind, body, and emotions during periods of transition.
• For children who struggle with intense fear, trouble letting go and moving on, or who have been uprooted or experienced a traumatic change - this oil will be a huge support.

• Place several drops of Inner Child in your diffuser. you can also apply some around the navel and rub a drop into your palms to inhale directly.
• Use this blend on and around you consistently. Our emotion patterns that took a lifetime to form aren't going to get unraveled completely in one day.

It has been said that when there's a conflict between reason and feeling, we humans always tend to side with feeling. As Dr Gary Young has said, "99% of life’s decisions are made from feelings."

That’s why if we want our lives to be guided by good decisions that lead to health, happiness, and contentment, we need to be aware of and in control of our present feelings. By focusing on fixing our feelings, we can fix most aspects of our lives - physical, mental, and spiritual.

And the perfect way to do this? Young Living’s Feelings Kit! Yup! 

The primary protocol is to apply these feelings oils before work and every night before bed. Try this for 30 days and notice all the delightful changes the Feelings Kit Protocol will bring into your life.

1. Coccyx
2. Sacrum
3. Lumbar
4. Dorsal (heart)
5. Cervical (where the neck meets your shoulders)
6. Medulla (hollow place at the center base of the skull)
7. Pineal (center of forehead)

1. Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
2. Forgive the other person for any harm he/she may have caused you (this doesn't need to be done in person, as this is just an inner-adjustment on your part).
3. Give the other person permission to forgive you.
4. See the good in the situation.
5. Be thankful for the experience and the lessons you gained from it.

CortiStop

Stress stored and fought by the body is possibly the number one health danger. It is truly a killer. Making sure we have our tools to help our bodies physically and emotionally deal with stress is one of the biggest changes we can make in our health!

So adrenaline kicks in.

Triggers for elevated cortisol levels:

• Excess heat/cold
• alcohol abuse
• coffee drinking
• depression
• anxiety
• malnutrition
• personal reltionships
• surgery
• physical/emotional trauma
• diseases
• big life events (job changes/problems, moving, etc.)

• Pregnenolone: shown to reduce corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in experimental models. CRH is the first step in the production of stress hormone cortisol. Pregnenolone is also a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created It is important for the body's production of progesterone, which blocks cortisol receptors.
• DHEA: another precursor for progesterone, DHEA is often reduced as a consequence of stress.
• Phosphatidylcholine: may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress; also a key component for every cell in the body.
• Phosphatidylserine: helps to balance the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis, benefits cognitive function, and may blunt cortisol production. The effects may be more pronounced in people under chronic stress.
• Black cohosh: a phytoestrogen that helps counteract the effects of cortisol, helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
• Clary sage: another phytoestrogen that supports hormone balance and helps uplift the mood.
• Frankincense: a grounding and uplifting oil that also works as an antioxidant within the body.
• Fennel and peppermint: help soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.

• Women who need support or feel the effects of adrenal fatigue.
• Men can take this supplement when needed! Dr. Purser, the doctor who formulated Progessence Plus, taught in a session on men's health that there is a place for men to be on this supplement in times of high stress and anxiety.
• NOT recommended during pregnancy. Use while breastfeeding at your discretion and need.

HOW TO USE

• Take 2 tablets in the morning before breakfast.

PEPPERMINT

April's Oil of the Month

Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Peppermint AT A GLANCE:

• Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
• Produces a focused environment when diffused
• Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
• Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled

Key Constituents

• Menthol
• Menthone
• Menthofuran
• 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
• Isomenthone
• Neomenthol
• Menthyl acetate

PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS 

Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness.  When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!

PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:

• Peppermint is one of the key essential oils used in the Raindrop massage technique and is also compliant of the oil blends used in this technique.
• Raindrop Roll-on:
  • 10 drops each: Oregano, Basil, Marjoram, Cypress, Thyme, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Aroma Siez
  • 1-2 pumps Ortho Ease (or V-6)
  • Fill the rest with a carrier oil, like Young LIving's V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex.
  • Apply over the lymph nodes, along the spine, on the bottom of the feed as needed. Use frequently and consistently!
• Raindrop Detox Bath
  • 6 cups Epsom Salts
  • 10 drops each: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress, Peppermint, White Angelica, Aroma Siez
  • Combine Epsom salts and essential oils in a glass jar and mix well. When you are ready for a soak, add 1-2 cups of the mixture to a warm bath, and relax for at leas 30 minutes.

DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:

• Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
• Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
• Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
• Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
• Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
• Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
  • 10 drops Peppermint
  • 10 drops PanAway
  • 10 drops Copaiba
  • 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
  • Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
  • Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
• Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
  • 10 drops Peppermint

April's Ditch & Switch

PAIN CREAMS

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! 

For April, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! Say goodbye to all the stinky muscle rubs and grab a tube of Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream!

Here's a quick low-down on the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren’t required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance’ is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn’t mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don’t want on our skin!). So the 'fragrance' listed in those muscle rubs could be just about anything... and we don't want to rub that all over our skin, especially when we need some relief!

Enter Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when pair with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Rub Balm! Pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain really! Just a dab of the pain cream, rub in well and roll on your Deep Relief a few minutes later and you're good to go!

The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen oil and Peppermint oil with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, a natural method found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect. This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!

Join us this month as we make this simple swap that will impact  your health and wellness routine!

Supplement Spotlight

Super B Vitamin

Super B is a B complex supplement that is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting moos and cardiovascular and cognitive function. Our current lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to support that system!

WHY DO WE NEED B Vitamins?

Super B - Why we Love it!

• Known for supporting normal cardiovascular and cognitive health, aiding in mood improvement, and sustaining healthy energy levels.

• Contains all eight essential, energy boosting B Vitamins.

• Is combined with nutmeg oil and bioavailable chelated minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc.

• Contains Organ-FA, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methycobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12! Our bodies have a hard time absorbing and utilizing folic acid, so we need it in the form of folate. Plus, due to enzyme activity, the majority of individuals need methylated folate for ideal absorption.

LEARN MORE:

• Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is an essential component to energy products, carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function at the cellular level.
• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) assists with the production of cellular energy and helps reiterate the liver while supporting normal cellular health.
• Niacin (Vitamin B3) is important for the production of carbohydrates into an energy source. It can lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. (May cause niacin flush. This is a normal reaction where the hands, face, elbows may turn red and feel warm to the touch. It will go away on its own.)
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) assist sixth the secretion of hormones and supports the adrenal glands. Energy is released with metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
• Pyridoxine HCL (Vitamin B6) is supportive to the cardiovascular system - specifically blood vessels. It is the assimilated when B12, magnesium and folic acid are present.
• Orgen-FA, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methylcobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12.
• Biotin (Vitamin B7) helps convert fats and amino acids into energy. It is supportive to healthy hair and nail growth. It can combat yeast and fungus overgrowth.
• Methycobalamin (Vitamin B12) is essential for red blood cell production, immune function and nervous system function. It works with a Vitamin B6 to support the cardiovascular system. You may have heard of pernicious anemia, which is a lack of B12.
• Magnesium (Magnesium Oxide) is essential for the proper function of enzymes, muscle contractions and heart rhythm. It supports the cardiovascular system and helps to maintain blood pressure. It Las supports insulin levels.
• Zinc (Zinc Gluconate) is necessary for immune support, cell regeneration and proper function of hormones such as insulin and the growth hormones.
• Selenium (Selenium Yeast) is important as its job is to attach destructive cells and helps to support the immune system.
• PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) works with the 'good' bacteria to produce folic acid and helps to produce red blood cells.

• Anyone under stress, as it depletes B Vitamins in our bodies.
• Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
• Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
• Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
• Anoneone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid (which is all over our processed foods and grains ) we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.

HOW TO USE & FAQ:

• Take 2 tablets daily with a meal, ideally with your first meal of the day.

Join us this month as we use Super B tablets this month and beyond to give our bodies energy and mood support naturally!
