Toothpaste Ditch and Switch - Aug 2021

KidScents Toothpaste

August Ditch & Switch


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our bathroom shelves and switch out conventional kids' toothpaste for Young Living's KidScents Toothpaste.

Brushing teeth can sometimes be a struggle with kids, but using the citrusy KidScents Toothpaste from Young Living makes it so much more enjoyable! Not only will your kids love the taste, this advanced formula cleans teeth without any of the harsh additives found in most commercial toothpastes. Fluoride and GMO are, this plant-based toothpaste supports healthy-looking gums and teeth and is infused with he highest quality essential oils you can find.

Why we love KidScents Toothpaste
  • Cleaner teeth gently with a natural derived formula created for children
  • Formulated with gentle, order-absorbing baking soda for fresher breath
  • Fights plaque with brushing
  • Removes surface stains gently
  • Provides a long lasting, clean, and free feel
  • Formulated without fluoride, SLS, synthetic dyes, peroxide, artificial colors, flavors,  preservatives or gluten containing ingredients.
Sadly, conventional kids' toothpaste formulas are filled with synthetic additives, artificial flavoring and coloring agents that are not just unnecessary, they are harmful when ingested in small qualities over time. The membrane lining of the mouth has an absorption efficiency of more than 90%, which means when we brush our teeth, we are brushing our gums too. And even if toothpaste isn't swallowed, it is still entering the bloodstream via the mucosal lining. Here are a few top offenders:

  • Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): SLS promotes the foaming action of conventional toothpastes, but does nothing as far as efficacy. It has been linked to the development of canker sores and can change the way the taste buds work. (This is why everything tastes bad after you brush your teeth!)
  • Triclosan: This chemical is common in toothpaste and has been linked to antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. Disruption in the endocrine system can create serious effects, especially over time. This is also an active ingredient in hand sanitizers.
  • Artificial Dyes and Colors: To make the blue or red stripe that is perfectly placed in the middle of the toothpaste, manufacturers add food coloring, often a petroleum based product. Red 40 , Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are the worst according to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Some of these food dyes come with side effects like hyperactivity and hypersensitivity reactions.
  • Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol is used as the surfactant in conventional toothpaste to promote foaming. It is found extensively in paints, enamels, and antifreeze. Pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol is common in personal care products. Unfortunately, it can cause skin, lung and eye irrational.
  • Titanium Dioxide: White titanium dioxide is added to make toothpaste white, and is entirely unnecessary. It is also found in supplements, added to foods and to make paint white. Titanium dioxide is currently under review as far as its safety.
Key Ingredients in KidScents Toothpaste
When it comes to all of Young Living's products, you'll only find the best, purest ingredients. You can be sure are safe and effective. And the KidScents toothpaste is no exception. It has a short list of ingredients, including plant-based surfactants, stevia and essential oils.
  • Baking Soda
  • Xylitol
  • Stevia
  • Coconut Oil
  • Grapefruit Essential Oil
  • Spearmint Essential Oil
To Use
Use daily to help young smiles stay vibrant. Put a small amount of toothpaste on a brush, helps he child brush their teeth, and rinse thoroughly after each meal or as directed by a dentist or doctor. Supervise children until good brushing and rinsing habits are established.

* Intended for children 2 years and older. For children under 2 years of age, consult a dentist or doctor before use.

Join us this month as we switch out conventional kids' toothpaste for Young Living's SkidScents Toothpaste this month.

Essentials for July 2021

The July Essentials are Here!
What should I order?


For the month of July, we are focusing on all things personal care to show ourselves some love and help us move towards our health goals. Here are a few items we are using this month and beyond to support our physical, mental and emotional health everyday.


Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo - for beautiful, healthy hair
Frankincense essential oil - for glowing, healthy skin
Valor Bar Soap - to add some zen to your daily routine
C-B-D Beauty Boost - the ultimate in skin
Sulfurzyme Capsules (or Powder) - for happy hair, skin, and nails
Lavender Lip Balm - the best lip balm around


Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo


Healthy hair depends a lot on what and how we cleanse it. The Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo is minty and invigorating and perfect for all hair types. The scent promotes feelings of calm and clarity, and nourishing ingredients promote beautiful, healthy hair.



Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense essential oil has long been known for its incredible grounding and healing properties and carries huge historical and spiritual significance. Frankincense has been used in religious rituals for over 3,000 years. It has been know to enhance immunological function, beautify skin, and increase spiritual awareness. This oil is a must-have for every home because of its versatility. 

Lean more about Frankincense essential oil in my Oil Spotlight of the Month post.


Valor Bar Soap

Love your skin and elevate the everyday with Valor Bar Soap. Ground yourself with nature and the woodsy smell of Valor while you get ready for the day ahead or wind down at the end of the day. The nourishing formula cleanses without drying out the skin and the scent is incredible.

CBD Beauty Boost

Your skin is your largest organ, and the state of your skin can tell you a lot about your body's needs. Your skin is exposed to everything the day brings - heat, cold, sun, wind, environmental toxins, household toxins, and more. So we need to do everything we can to show our skin (and our bodies) some TLC.

CBD Beauty Boost contains a combination of pure, potent CBD, tamanu oil, grapeseed oil, and rose essential oil for a truly luxurious experience.

For more, including a great DIY Beauty Serum, check out the July's Ditch & Switch blog.

SulfurZyme

If you have skin, hair, nails, or joints (and we hope you do), you are likely not getting enough of this compound. Weak and brittle nails, hair that doesn't grow or isn't healthy, joints that are painful and skin issues can all be giant billboard signs telling you that you need more nutrition in this area. Skin that is ultra sensitive to the topical use of oils can be another telltale sign. This one supplement (capsules or powder) can do so much to help you benefit from everything else you are doing with your oils to increase your health.


To learn more, check out the July Supplement Spotlight post.

Lavender Lip Balm

A daily must have! This is our favorite lip balm, and it doubles as a carrier stick when in a pinch! Apply to lips, cheeks, noses, any part of the skin that needs a little TLC. We like to keep one in our bag, one by the bed and one in the bathroom.

To learn more, check out the June Supplement Spotlight post.

This popular blend also includes Lavender essential oil, as well as Cedarwood and Copaiba. These ingredients are expertly blended with the exotic scent of Ocotea, a unique Ecuador-sourced oil, to create a wonder zen-inspired blend.

Using menthol from mint, this spray soothes and cools the skin, providing immediate relief from the effects of outdoor activity.

Plus, its moisturizing qualities - from ingredients such as aloe, Lavender essential oil, and Helichrysum essential oil - also help prevent peeling and leave skin feeling soft and smooth instead of tacky or sticky.

Lavender Oil Spotlight - June 2021

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

Did you know that lavender is part of the mint family and is one of Young Living's most popular oils? Young Living has three farms that grow lavender, located in Utah, Idaho, and France - ooh la la! Lavender is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the plant, and it takes 27 square feet of lavender plants to make one 15 mL bottle of Lavender essential oil.

In Ancient Greece, Pedanius Dioscorides, a physician pharmacologist and botanist, praised the many qualities and uses of Lavender. You can find Lavender essential oil in many Young Living's blends, including Stress Away, Tranquil, RotaVaLa, Forgiveness, and Harmony.

Lavender & Emotions from Eryn Jones

Lavender is great for the many common fears we are tempted to give into:
  • 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.

DIFFUSE

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of Lavender this month!

Join us in using Lavender oil blend daily to create daily habits that support our overall health - physical, mental, and emotional.

Essentials for May 2021

The May Essentials are Here!
What should I order?


For the month of May we are focusing on releasing the emotional weights that are tying us down and releasing the physical stress within our bodies! Stress-free summer here we come. Here are a few essential items we are using this month to cultivate the stress-free summer we desire.

White Angelica oil blend - the friend of those walking though hard times
CortiStop - the stress supplement
Feelings Kit - for emotional health and peaceful, easy feelings
Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs - to melt the stress away
Tangerine essential oil - for bright, happy vibes
Lavender Bath & Shower Gel - for daily selfceare and stress release

White Angelica Essential Oil

Each essential oil in White Angelica was carefully selected to help promote a positive, peaceful atmosphere when diffused. This oil blend is an incredibly powerful emotional tool for when you are struggling with negative emotions, carrying the weight of others, and processing grief or disappointment. This blend is also wonderful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings and tend to process through nightmares. Pair it with lavender for a calming, relaxing blend to help release negative emotions.

Lean more about White Angelica essential oil blend in my Oil of the Month post.


CortiStop

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such a feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders. 

Enter CortiStop.

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

To learn more, check out the May Supplement post.

Feelings Kit

The Feelings Kit includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patters - Harmony, Forgiveness, Present Time, Inner Child, Release and Valor.

Join me this month to utilize these powerful oils instead of turning our comfort vices - shopping, Netflix, food, alcohol, overworking to name a few! Follow the 'Feelings Protocol' in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

For more, including the usage protocol, check out the May Ditch & Switch blog.

Stress Away Bath Bombs

No matter how you do it, take a moment for yourself is always a good idea, and one of my favorite way to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub. So, lets ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores and grab the Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs instead. 

Stress Away is one of Young Living's most popular blends and for good reason. This oil is wonderful for creating a calm, relaxing environment. PLUS these natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synethetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients - making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

Tangerine essential oil

Bright and happy, this citrus oil has a delightfully sweet aroma that can create a happy, contented mindset. It pairs well with just about anything. Adding White Angelica or the oils in the Feelings Kit can improve your emotional outcome. Citrus oils in general help to promote feelings of creativity, confidence and contentment.

Diffuse Tangerine with:

Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Infused with Lavender, Lemon, and Davana essential oils, the Lavender Bath & Shower Gel is one of our favorites for elevating the everyday. It cleanses, soothe, and relaxes your skin and is free of chemicals and synthetic preservatives. 

Use it daily in your shower or go the extra mile and pair it with a Stress Away bath bombs for an ultimate relaxing bath. This plant-based formula smells incredible and makes us look forward to a moment of peace in our daily routine.

Peppermint Oil Spotlight - April 2021

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:

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
    • 10 drops Lemon
    • 10 drops DiGize
    • Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!

DIFFUSE: 

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

Will you join us in using Peppermint oil daily to support our health and cultivate energy and vitality! Lets create great daily habits that support our overall health!

Pain Cream Ditch and Switch - April 2021


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!

Lets talk about conventional over the counter pain and muscle rubs for just a second. Did you know that products that are cool and hot simply contain ingredients that make your skin tingle so you forget about the muscle pain beneath it? They don't actually help support muscles, tendons and tissues that are in need of help. Plus they are filled with less than ideal ingredients like petrolatum, artificial colorants and fragrance.

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!

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Free from fragrance, petrolatum and other chemicals
  • Plant-based formula featuring methyl salicylate from Wintergreen essential oil and menthol from Peppermint essential oil
  • Actually supports the muscles and tissues beneath the skin
  • Has a lovely cooling effect
  • Contains aloe vera and isn't drying to the skin

TO USE

To use, simply apply to the affected area up to three or four times a day. If you need a little extra, alternate with Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and/or Deep Relief Roll-on!

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

Let's Learn More about Vanilla

Lets Learn More About Vanilla

With its warm, rich, slightly sweet aroma, vanilla is one of the most popular and recognizable fragrances throughout the world. 

Ever since coming on the Young Living recently, it has been a huge hit! 

Young Living's exclusive Vanilla oleoresin has a gentle, welcoming and balancing aroma that evokes pleasant memories when diffused.

Vanilla has a pure, rich scent that may change slightly as you use it in different ways. It enhances and compliments a wide variety of other aromas and pairs well with Ylang Ylang, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, and citrus oils like Orange, Tangerine, Bergamot, and Lime. 

Diffuse Vanilla to create a homey, welcoming atmosphere and to enjoy its naturally calming aroma. Blend or layer it with your favorite Young Living essential oil to create your own personal fragrance.

Why I love Vanilla:
  • Warm, complex, sweet aroma
  • Balancing aroma
  • Leaves no greasy residue
  • Calming and inviting scent
  • Creates a comforting, welcoming atmosphere when diffused
  • Conditions and moisturizes skin and hair
  • Evokes pleasant memories with its nostalgic aroma when inhaled
  • Blends beautifully with essential oils
  • Contains the naturally occurring constituents of vanillin and vanillin acid
Origins and Background
Vanilla is produced from Vanilla planiforlia, an orchid that grows long vanilla bean pods. The process of obtaining Vanilla is extensive, as it can take up to four years for the vine to mature. The vine produces orchid blossoms that last only 24 hours and must be pollinated by hand within 8 to 12 hours for the bean pod to grow. The entire process - growing pollinating, drying, curing, and preparing for export - takes around one year.

Extracted from beans grown in the northwestern region of Madagascar, the Young Living pure Vanilla oleoresin is ethically sourced and made with a unique extraction method developed for Young Living. This unique process helps our Vanilla retain its rich, classic aroma and blend especially well with Young Living essential oils. Obtaining just the right Vanilla oleoresin involves the removal of naturally sourced ethyl alcohol from French sugar beets, at which point the project is processed with fractionated coconut oil. While many vanilla products on the market are synthetic. Young Living Vanilla is 100% pure and quality tested to meet our rigorous Seed to Seal quality commitment.

Young Living's Vanilla is not strictly an extract or an absolute, both which contain mostly alcohol and do no blend well with essential oils. Noticing these flaws in mainstream vanilla extracts and absolutes, the D. Gary Young Research Institute worked to find a vanilla product that would meet our Seed to Seal quality commitment and blend well with our essential oils. They searched for more than a year to find the right product, and by using a first-of-its-kind extraction method with the vanilla oleoresin and fractioned coconut oil, they finally found Vanilla that is not only 100% pure, but also diffuses and blends beautifully with Young Living's essential oils.

Pairing Ideas for Perfume Rollers:
  • Jasmine, Neroli, Vanilla
  • Tangerine, Valor, Vanilla
  • Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Bergamot, Vanilla
  • Ylang Ylang, Lemon, Vanilla
To make perfume rollers, add desired essential oils to a 10 mL roller bottle and top with unscented carrier oil of choice. You can also add dried flowers or crystals.

DIY room spray
  • 2oz glass spray bottle
  • 10 drops Vanilla
  • 15 drops Christmas Spirit
  • splash witch hazel and fill with water
Make it a super cute gift by tying with twine and a sprig of fresh Rosemary!

Life 9 & KidScents MightyPro Probiotics

While it may seem a bit strange to say, one of the most powerful things we can do for our health is to balance and support our gut!

Join us as we use Life 9 & MightyPro probiotics this month (and beyond!) to support overall health! For more, check out the March Supplement Spotlight!

Lemon Myrtle or Lemon Verbena Essential Oil

The fresh, clean, citrus aroma of Lemon Myrtle essential oil is uplifting and refreshing! It is reminiscent of lemon-scented cleaning products but contains none of the toxic ingredients!! Add a few drops of Lemon Myrtle to your Thieves Cleaner, to dryer balls and to your diffuser for a delicious aroma that encourages a bright outlook on life!
