Ditch & Switch:
Antibacterial Soap for YL Foaming Hand Soaps
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 make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch antibacterial hand soaps for the foaming hand soaps from Young Living.
The foaming hand soaps from Young Living are made with only naturally derived, moisturizing ingredients - such as Vitamin E and aloe - and are infused with premium essential oils, making the effective at cleaning, gentle on the skin and safe for the whole family.
Why we Love YL Hand Soaps
- Instant foam makes it easy to lather and rinse for a more thorough cleaning
- Contains moisturizing ingredients like aloe and ginkgo biloba to promote softer, smoother hands
- Effective and gentle enough for the whole family
- Formulated with naturally derived, plant-based ingredients
- Multiple scents available so we can switch with the seasons for fun!
Why Ditch Antibacterial Soaps
When it comes to cleaning our hands (especially post 2020), we want to make sure we are using products that are effective, but that don't damage our health. Turns out that the benefits of using antibacterial hand soap haven't been proven and widespread use of antibacterial soaps even has negative consequences for our health, including contribution got bacterial resistance. Some research shows that this resistance may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of medical treatments, such as antibiotics.
In fact, when it comes to our skin, we actually want some beneficial bacteria there. The same way that we want a healthy mix of bacteria to inhabit the gut, we want to keep the bacteria that normally populate the skin as well. It is a crucial piece to overall health. Without this, your immune system would not be able to properly protect you from infection and disease and your skin would be susceptible to a variety of skin ailments. Washing away all that goodness with antibacterial soaps is actually counterproductive to our health.
In addition, many antibacterial soaps contain triclosan and triclocarban, ingredients of concern that we'd rather avoid altogether. In fact, the EPA considers these ingredients pesticides! Both triclosan and triclocarban are endocrine disruptors - they alter the level of certain hormones in the body and change the way that these hormones work. And we know that healthy, balanced hormones are KEY to so many areas of health! Definitely not something we want in our hand soaps (or anywhere else for that matter).
YL Foaming Hand Soaps vs Conventional Soaps
Have you heard the term "Greenwashing"? Its when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality, what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the 'natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Young Living cleaning and personal care products. No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals here - just the power of plants.
Another big issue with conventional soaps and cleaners is 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 a naturally occurring compound that we don't want on our skin). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes the scent of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance, plus these oils have incredible properties of their own.
Product Options
You can wash away the germs without the harsh ingredients and chemicals with the power of plants. No matter which soap you choose, you can't go wrong with the foaming hand soaps from Young Living. Each scent is available as a single bottle or a three pack, which makes switching out all the sinks super easy, and the Thieves and Lushious Lemon scents come in a large refill bottle as well!
Thieves Foaming Hand Soap - Thieves is a household staple when it comes to household cleaning, so the Thieves Foaming Hand Soap is our go-to! This soap is infused with the germ-fighting power of Thieves essential oil, so you get clean, fresh hands without harsh ingredients.
Lushious Lemon Foaming Hand Soap - Popular scented soaps have nothing on this delicious scent! The Lushious Lemon Foaming Hand Soap is a spring and summer favorite - sweet and bright and happy.
Lavender Foaming Hand Soap - This lightly floral soap is perfect for bathrooms and kid sinks. Plus it makes a lovely gift.
Seasonal Scents - Christmas Spirit and Winter Nights are available during the fall and winter months as supplies last. Christmas Spirit is warm and spicy with Cinnamon Bark, Spruce and Orange, while Winter Nights is cool and refreshing with Peppermint and Spruce.
Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by ditching conventional hand soaps for the power of plant-based YL foaming hand soaps!

Master Formula
Supplement Spotlight
Master Formula is a daily must have - it is the Young Living equivalent of a multivitamin. This full-spectrum, multi nutrient complex provides premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutrients to support general health and well-being. Not only is it an exceptional formula of necessary vitamins and minerals, it includes antioxidants and essential oils that further increase the absorption of all those wonderfully good things.
Just a Drop of Master Formula
- Naturally supports general health and well-being for the body
- Contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics (SO important for gut health and for absorption of all the vitamins and minerals Master Formula contains)
- Ingredients help neutralize free radicals in the body
- Includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment
- Packaged sachets are convenient to take your vitamins on the go
- NO synthetic ingredients. NO artificial colorings. NO unnecessary fillers. AND you can bet that every ingredient used is of the highest quality.
When it comes to conventional vitamins and supplements, it is incredibly difficult to find options that aren't filled with unnecessary colorings, fillers, and binders. Sadly, these ingredients are almost always synthetic, wreaking havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice) and gut disruption. And none of us wanted that for ourselves or our families. Especially when we are trying to do something good, like take a multivitamin.
Background
Sadly, our current foods (even the healthiest, homegrown options) lack a lot of the vitamins and minerals that thy used to contain. Whether a result of conventional farming practices, long delays in shipment or a deleting of nutrients in the soil, we simply aren't getting quite enough from food alone, which is why a high quality multivitamin is essential. In fact, it is one of the most prescribed over the counter supplement in the US.
Young living also engineered a wonderful delivery system for this multi nutrient complex to improve bioavailability of all these incredible ingredients. Its is called Synergistic Suspension Isolation process (SSI). The ingredients are delivered in three distinct delivery forms that are easy for the body to assimilate. Just one more reason why Young Living supplements are superior to any others.
Key Ingredients
- Turmeric root oil - Turmeric root is well known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti tumor, and anti-aging properties.
- Vitamin A, D, E and K2 - all essential vitamins for bone, teeth, and heart health.
- Cardamon, Clove, and Ginger essential oils - antioxidants that support digestion, health and vitality.
How to Use Master Formula
- Take 1 packet (1 liquid capsule, 1 caplet, 2 capsules) daily with water
- May also be taken with 1-2 oz NingXia Red
For more on Master Formula and other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.
Join us this month and beyond as we focus on getting all our nutrients from a high-quality multivitamin - a cornerstone of good health.

Lime
Essential Oil Spotlight
Lime essential oil has a fresh, crisp aroma that uplifts the senses and brightens any space. This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support!
Just a Drop of Lime
- Has an bright, sharp, green, citrus aroma
- Adds a fruity, topical scent to bath and body care products
- Uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and postivity
- Neutralizes unwanted odors, and purifies the air when diffused
- Is a great addition to household cleaning solutions
- Helps provide general wellness support when taken internally

Background
Citrus aurantifolia, also known as Mexican or key lime, is a shrub-like evergreen tree native to tropical Southeast Asia. It produces smaller, mora aromatic fruit than the related Citrus xlatifolia, or Persian lime, which is more commonly available in the United States as a culinary fruit.
Lime essential oil is unique in that it is 100% bioflavonoid. Not only are bioflavonoids impressive in and of themselves, but they also help maximize the benefits of Vitamin C by inhibiting its breakdown in the body. This means that Lime essential oil not only supports the immune system, it also stimulates the detox pathways, helping to clear the body of toxins and unwanted waste. Lime also helps with the absorption of Vitamin C, make it a versatile oil and household staple.
Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
- Gamma-terpinene - a potent antioxidant, Chinese medicine believes that this constituent may halt the advance of unwelcome microbes, reducing the risk of colds and 'flu-like symptoms.'
- Beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown beta-pinene to support the body through inflammation, to help calm the mind and see the body from the 'fight or flight' response
Lime & Emotions
Lime, like other essential oil, is a wonderful tool for emotional support! Citrus oils evoke the sense of warm, sunny, carefree days which are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. One major reason for this is because citrus oils contain the constituent Limonene, a compound that is a potent free radical scavenger. Free radials cause oxidative stress and damage to the body at a cellular level, therefore affecting every body system. Less oxidative stress from free radicals is a key for less negative emotions.
Limonene is wonderful for boosting the mood and may increase the amount of calming neurotransmitter in the brain. When we are feeling worried, stressed or indecisive we have a difficult time accessing the right side of our brains, and citrus oils are a great tool! Citrus oils are stimulating to the right side of the brain and can help us work through these emotional blocks.
Emotionally, Lime is linked to feeling unmotivated. Apply a couple of drops of Lime over your lungs to help get some motivation going and promote feelings of clarity, harmony, motivation, and positivity.

DIY Shimmer Scrub & Body Oil
The summer heat and sunshine often bring dry skin with them, but these two fun simple DIYs will combat the dryness while adding a bit of sparkle to your skin. Use them together in the summer or anytime you want a little shimmer in your day.
A body scrub is a great way to remove dry, dead skin, and follow it with body oil to lock in moisture. Body oil also enhances the appearance of arms and legs (or really any body part on which you apply it). These DIYs are a fun way to rehydrate your skin!
DIY Shimmer Body Scrub
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tbsp finely ground coffee
- 1 tsp silver cosmetic mica or gold cosmetic mica
- 1/2 tsp Savvy Minerals Wanderlust eyeshadow
- 2 tbsp Jojoba oil or carrier of choice
- 5 drops of essential oils (Lavender, Peace & Calming, Ylang Ylang, & Vanilla are some good options)
Step 1 - Add sugars, coffee and mica/eyeshadow to a small bowl and combine. Mix in jojoba oil and essential oils and store in a glass jar.
Step 2 - When you're in the shower, scrub dry skin gently, then rinse. You'll be left with radiant skin and a soft, barely there sparkle!
Note: This scrub should keep for 2-3 months without the need for refrigeration. Be careful not to get any water in your scrub or it will go bad much sooner.
DIY Simmer Body Oil
- Use a carrier oil, such as rosehip oil or avocado oil (you can also use jojoba oil or V-6 carrier oil, but the results will be more oily and need to dry longer on the skin.)
- Savvy Minerals eyeshadow in a shimmery color:
- Wanderlust - pearl-colored shimmer
- Envy - brown shimmer
- Residual - gold-tone shimmer
- Note: mixing Residual or Wanderlust with Envy will give you a gold or pearl toned bronzing effect
Step 1 - Combine the ingredients in a small bowl, and stir until throughly combined. Use the back of a spoon to break up large chunks of eyeshadow and create a smooth oil. Continue adding eye shadow until you get a color you like.
Step 2 - Transfer to a lidded glass jar and keep for up to a year.
Step 3 - This DIY body oil may look dark in the jar, but when applied, the effect is very subtle. The eyeshadow tends to settle at the bottom of the oil, so shake gently before each use.
Step 4 - Customize this body oil for you! If you want a bronzing effect, use a shade of eyeshadow with bronze tones. If you just want shimmer without the bronze shade, use a white or pearl colored eyeshadow like Wanderlust or powder highlighter like Diamond Veil.

Coping Mechanisms for CBD
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 make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb and zone out for ones that can support you towards healing.
CBD can be an incredible addition to your health routine when it comes to releasing stress and reducing feelings of anxiety.
Whether you use it topically, choose to place the drops under your tongue, or use the muscle rub to reduce physical stress, CBD can be a powerful tool for your health! And when you use Nature's Ultra CBD from Young Living, you get the added benefit of essential oils for a 1+1+3 scenario.

If you're ready to ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb, zoned out, or worse than you did when you started them, reach for the CBD Drops or CBD Roll-on and find a way to physically process the emotions. Don't push them away or stuff them. Allow yourself to feel them, apply the CBD, and move your body to release stored emotions. Walk, swim, jog, dance - just move! This movement paired with CBD can help you process whereas buffering with a coping mechanism cannot.
CBD Calm Roll-On
The Calm CBD Roll-on is infused with essential oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, and Vetiver that can help create a peaceful environment, relax and quiet your mind, and wind down before bed. Roll generously onto the neck, chest and wrists as desired.

CBD & Emotions
Most of us know someone (or are someone) who struggles with mental health issues - most of America does - and even those who don't suffer from long-term emotional issues usually experience occasional symptoms. This is a big issue to unpack, but let's look at the role of CBD in managing emotions.
It's not news to us that our physical well being also has a profound impact on our emotional health. Inflammation, psychological stress and acute or chronic illness can actually cause your brain to shrink. The science-y term for this is 'hippocampal atrophy' and research is showing that CBD has some specific brain-healing properties.
Each of our thoughts creates a physical tract in our brains (neural pathways), and thoughts we visit repeatedly become physically ingrained in our brains. The good news is that it is possible for us to create new pathways, new nerve connections. CBD has specific properties that can help us rewire these tracts, especially when combined with other powerful tools like meditation, counseling and essential oils.
Product Options
- Calm CBD Roll-on - Calm CBD Roll-On combines potent CBD with an array of essential oils to help relax and quiet your mind, create a peaceful nighttime environment, and support a worry-free outlook.
- CBD Beauty Boost - Pure, potent CBD and essential oils help maintain an even skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in every drop of CBD Beauty Boost for a more youthful glow.
- CBD Muscle Rub - Soothe sore muscles in seconds with Nature's Ultra CBD Muscle Rub.
- CBD Pep Bundle - Combine CBD Oil Base with the invigorating aroma of the included Peppermint essential oil to craft your own 250 mg Smart Spectrum™ CBD Oil.
- Cinnamon CBD Oil - Cinnamon CBD Oil combines potent CBD with Cinnamon Bark essential oil for a rich, spicy aroma.

SleepEssence
Supplement Spotlight
SleepEssence is a wonderful supplement for helping the body relax into its natural, restful sleep rhythm. It contains many sleep-supporting essential oils as well as melatonin to help you fall asleep and sleep well.
Just a Drop of SleepEssence
- Formulated with Lavender and Valerian essential oils, which help promote restful sleep
- Supports the body's natural sleep rhythm with melatonin
- Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
- Can be used to help promote rest whenever you need it
Sleep is a critical part of your health, both everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep can help reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improve everything from mental health to memory. Our bodies actually use sleep to repair cellular damage, fight off germs, to balance hormone levels, and reduce inflammation. Sleep is incredibly important!
Sleep Essence is a great way to support sleep, especially if used alongside diffusing and applying oils. The ingredients in SleepEssence help the body relax physically and mentally to find restful sleep.
- Lavender - calming and relaxing to the mind and body (Lavender Spotlight)
- Vetiver - high in sesquiterpenes, constituent that help reduce stress on the body
- Valerian - helps the body relax into sleep more quickly and may improve sleep quality
- Tangerine - helps relax the mind and body (Tangerine Spotlight)
- Rue - helps calm the nervous system
- Melatonin - widely know for its ability to regulate circadian rhythm
SleepEssence can be used anytime you are needing help when it comes to sleep, but as we mentioned earlier, sleep is essential when the body is run down. The body utilizes sleep to perform many immune system tasks to decrease inflammation and produce cells to fight infection.
How to Use SleepEssence
- Take 1-2 soft gels 30-60 minutes before bedtime
Join us this month and beyond as we focus on getting adequate, high quality sleep - a cornerstone of good health.
