Tangerine Oil Spotlight - Sept 2021

Tangerine

Oil Spotlight for September

Tangerine essential oil has a sweet citrus scent that can create a happy, contented mindset when diffused. This versatile oil is wonderful for emotions, helps purify the air of odors, promotes healthy hair and skin, and smells wonderful in so many diffuser blends. Taken internally, it offers a fresh, sweet, citrus flavor and can provide digestive, lymphatic, and immune support. This is an oil we definitely want in our homes and in our bodies.


Each month we focus on using an oil everyday 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 September. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Tangerine AT A Glance

  • Contains the constituents limonene, gamma-terpinene, and myrcene
  • Found in Dream Catcher, Joy, and Inner Child essential oil blends, as well as Relaxation Massage Oil
  • Cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making the oil alkaline (not acidic)
  • Pairs well with most oils and blends
  • Combining Tangerine with White Angelica (we talked about it here) or Feelings Kit oils (and here) can improve your emotional outcome.

Tangerine + Oxidative Stress

Our bodies' cells produce free radicals during normal metabolic processes. However, cells also produce antioxidants that neutralize these free radicals. In general, the body is able to maintain a balance between antioxidants and free radicals. 

Sometimes, and especially in our ever-modernizing world, the balance tips towards excess free radical production. Several things contribute to this, but include inflammatory foods, emotional and mental stress, health conditions, infection, radiation, and environmental toxins. A large body of scientific evidence suggests that long-term oxidative stress contributes to the development of a range of chronic conditions.

Enter Tangerine essential oil (and other citrus oils). Tangerine essential oil contains limonene, a potential free radical scavenger. THIS IS HUGE! We have a powerful tool in our hands for supporting our bodies and upping the antioxidant potential.

Tangerine + Emotions

We just mentioned that Tangerine essential oil contains limonene, a potential free radical scavenger. This is important for our emotional health because less oxidative stress (less free radicals = less 'negative' emotions). Limonene also helps boost the mood and calm the central nervous system, making Tangerine a wonderful oils for soothing the emotions.

Tangerine can help promote feelings of calm and happiness, supporting learning and memory and calming nervousness.

Daily Habits with Tangerine

  • Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to your soles for happy feet and circulation.
  • Add to your car vent diffuser or a cotton ball stashed under the seats for an uplifting scent while you commute 
  • Give a glass of lemonade a twist by adding 1-2 drops of Tangerine Vitality.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Tangerine Vitality to your daily NingXia Red.
  • Add a few drops each of Tangerine and Tea Tree to your daily shampoo and massage into your scalp for a sweet, tingly sensation.
  • Use its cleansing benefits in your morning skin care routine for an added boost.
  • Apply it to your temples before study time or meditation to promote feelings of calm and focus.
Note: Avoid applying to skin that will be directly exposed to sunlight or UV light to prevent risk of photosensitivity.

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 soothing scent of Tangerine with us this month!

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

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.

MightyZyme Supplement Spotlight - Aug 2021

MightyZyme

Supplement Spotlight


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. Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients!

Why are enzymes important? Enzymes...
  • help your cells communicate well with each other.
  • are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells. All cells require enzymes to survive and function.
  • help keep cell growth, life and death under control (this is so important!).
  • are need for more than 4,000 biochemical reactions in the body.
  • are responsible for every chemical reaction in our bodies.
  • allow our cells to build up and break down molecules in our bodies!
Enzymes affect every body system
  • Digestion - Enzymes break down food so the body can digest it.
  • Metabolism - Enzymes help properly metabolize the food so the body can use the nutrients from the food.
  • Respiration - Enzymes assist in getting oxygen to where it is needed.
  • Nutrient absorption and transportation - Enzymes help the nutrient get to where they are needed.
  • Detoxification - Enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
  • Muscle Movement - Enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
  • Hormone Production - Enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
  • Cell Repair - Enzymes assist in repairing cells which can lead to youthful skin.
  • Cell Division - Enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.

MightyZymes to the rescue!

These are all the things we want for ourselves and our kids' growing bodies. KidScents MightyZyme contains enzymes that naturally occur in the body that support and assist the digestive needs of growing bodies and the normal digestion of foods.

Areas of health that enzymes can support:
  • Gut health and digestion
  • Focus and attention
  • Mood and disposition
  • Energy levels
Chewable and newly formulated for better flavor and with folate instead of folic acid, these enzymes can be key to the digestive and immune system as well as helping to support a healthy gut (which has great impact on focus and brain function). Adding MightyZymes to your kid's routine is a great way to support their overall health.

To Use
  • Take 1 tablet, three times a day prior to or with meals.
  • For relief of occasional symptoms including fullness, pressure, bloating, stuffed feeling (commonly referred to as gas), pain and/or minor cramping that may occur after eating.
  • MightlyZyme aren't just for kids! If you are looking for a chewable enzyme, this is for you too.

Join us this month as we use MightyZyme this month and beyond to support overall health and wellness and feed our children (and ourselves!)

Imagine a cool, dark room... twinkle lights in the corner.... white noise playing... and the scent of Lavender, Patchouli and Tangerine lulling you towards dream land. That's exactly what this blend evokes.

This combination is perfect for setting the stage for great sleep. Peace & Calming contains the beloved blue tansy, an oil that specifically helps calm the central nervous system.


Whether you are homeschooling, virtual schooling or in person schooling, this blend is a great one for school and work time for the adults too!

Rosemary is helpful for promoting focus, citrus oils are uplifting and help promote creativity. Try this soothing blend the next time you work, school or create.

Snuggle up with your little ones with this blend creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. 

KidPower for calm, brave feelings
Frankincense for grounding and emotional connection
Tangerine for a little playfulness

These oils are wonderful for supporting the emotions and connecting with those you love.



Herbaceous, deep and clean, this combination of oils helps to open the airways and support the entire respiratory system. Lemon is a natural mucolytic and makes a green addition to this blend.

Diffuse at bedtime or anytime you need a little extra support.

We want the energy in our homes to be calm, loving, playful and inviting, and this combination of oils brings all those feelings.

The grounding vibes of Sacred Mountain, the woodsiness of Patchouli and the brightness of Tangerine and Lime pair perfectly for a great everyday blend. Plus, Sacred Mountain helps to release fear of the unknown, making it a powerful emotional toolbar all of us - especially our kids!

It's almost that time of year again! We want to start supporting our bodies before the winter months, and this blend is perfect for that.

Add these oils to the diffuser at bedtime, before and after school, camps and play dates to purify the air and support the immune and respiratory systems.


KidPower is a fan favorite with its vanilla creamsicle scent, so pairing it with Lavender creates a perfect calm and confident aroma.

Whether you need some help calming down to focus or settling into sleep, this combination will quickly become a favorite.


Whenever you need to find that inner magic (or help someone you love find it), this blend is perfect.

Citrus oils for creativity, Stress Away to connect to your calm center, and Joy for bringing out the inner love and light that we all carry! This blend is wonderful any time of the day, but we especially love it in the mornings.

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.

Frankincense Oil Spotlight - July 2021

Frankincense

July's Oil Spotlight


Frankincense essential oil has long been know for its incredible grounding and healing properties and carries huge historical and spirtual significance. This oil is a must-have for every home because of its versatility.

Frankincense AT A Glance

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.

Want a little more? Go to PubMed and search for Frankincense. You can type "frankincense and ___" using whatever issue you'd like to search.

Frankincense & Emotions from Eryn Jones

Frankincense is helpful for releasing feelings of anger, entanglement, and abandonment. This sentiment in feeling form can mean you fell so dependent on or entangled with someone else's opinion or thoughts about you that anything they do makes you angry and triggered. In Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, Dr. Mein says that the alarm point for this is the "ego-point", which is the center of your chest.

If a particular relationship is extra hard, the way out of it is to Surrender and Detach, standing your own power and security. Frankincense can help you get there.

Here's how to use it for releasing stuck emotions related to this:
  • Rub Frankincense over the center of the chest whenever you feel that deep, angry feeling, or when you chest hurts from emotional struggles.
  • Say statement like "I am grounded" or "I stand in my power".
  • Inhale Frankincense until you feel something shift and that burden in your chest gets lighter.

Daily Habits with Frankincense

  • Add Frankincense to your DIY Glow Serum or favorite moisturizer for antioxidant and anti-aging support
  • DIY Glow Up Serum
  • Roll Frankincense along the underneath and around the breasts daily to support overall health.
  • Apply a drop of Frankincense to the crown of the head before meditation or yoga.
  • And a drop of Frankincense Vitality to your daily Ningxia Red to capitalize on the incredible immune and antioxidant effects.
  • Add Frankincense to your wellness roller for immune and antioxidant support
  • DIY Wellness Roller

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 grounding scent of Frankincense this month!

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

Love your Skin
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.

Sadly conventional products are chock full of synethic 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.

Switching from conventional to chemical-laden beauty products is a great, simple step in the right direction. Young Living products contain NO synthetic ingredients. NO hormone disruptors. NO artificial colorings. And you can bet that every ingredient is used is of the highest quality.

Nature's Ultra CBD products are crafted using a blend of high-quality CBD isolate and Young Living essential oils. These world-class ingredients combine to form Young Living's exclusive Smart Spectrum CBD. The Beauty Boos contains a combination of pure, potent CBD, tamanu oil, grapeseed oil, and rose essential for a truly luxurious experience. In fact, its so luxurious that each dropper contains the essential oils from on e full Damask rose.

This blend of CBD, rose essential oil, tamanu oil, and grapeseed oil works to maintain an even tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just one daily dropper of this Smart Spectrum blend will moisturize your skin and promote a youthful glow. Nature's Ultra CBD Beauty Boost is ideal for all skin types, so no matter what your needs are, CBD Beauty Boost can help!

Key Ingredients
  • CBD - pure potent CBD with 0.0% THC
  • Rose Essential Oil - beautiful, luxurious floral oil that beautifies, soothes, and moisturizes the skin to promote a youthful apperance
  • Tamanu Oil - smooth, nutty oil rich in fatty acids to improve the appearance of the skin and promote an even skin tone
  • Grapeseed Oil - oil rick in omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants to absorb quickly without leaving the skin feeling oily
To Use
  • Add 1-2 droppers to your hand and apply evenly to your face, neck, chest, or anywhere you could use a moisturizing boos. For best results, shake well before using and mix with your favorite Young Living beauty products.
  • Make a DIY Beauty Serum and use moving and evening.
DIY Glow Up Serum
This is the ultimate in skin care and rivals any of the high-end beauty serums and products, yet it is completely plant-based and natural.
  • 20 drops Frankincense and Myrrh
  • 10 drops Blue Tansy
  • 10 drops Royal Hawaiian Sandal (for dry skin), optional

Set a wide, shallow dish on the stove with water and heat to medium-low, very gently boiling. While the water heats, prepare your jars by adding a stick to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly into the middle of the bottom of your glass jar.

Pour about 1/3 of the jar full of beeswax pellets, then add 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Repeat the layers, finishing with the beeswax to near the op of the jar. As you fill the jars, make sure that the wick remains in the center. The coconut oil is optional but helps to slow the burning of the beeswax so your candles will last longer.

Once the water is boiling gently, place your jars in and allow the wax and coconut oil to melt. Add more beeswax pellets as needed as the wax melts and naturally lowers.

Once the wax is melted, remove from the water bath and place on a baking rack to cool. Add essential oils, dropping them all around the wax. Allow the wax to cool and harden, then enjoy!
