Vanilla Essential Oil
Vanilla essential oil is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically.
Vanilla at a Glance
- Has a warm, rich, slightly sweet aroma
- Can be diffused or applied topically to create a warm and tranquil environment
- Can be applied directly to the skin or added to your favorite hair and body care products
- Blends beautifully with essential oils and carrier oils for diffusion and topical application
- Contains antioxidant properties
- Supports healthy hormone levels
- Supports mood and lifts the spirit
- May help support healthy blood pressure levels
- Support the immune system
- Assists with stress relief and calming the mind
Young Living's Vanilla is not strictly an extract or an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol and do not 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 the Seed to Seal quality commitment and blend well with our essential oils. The result is a first-of-its-kind extraction method that yields a Vanilla oleoresin in fractioned coconut oil that diffuse and blends beautifully with essential oils. Such a HUGE win for us!

This is a great blend to diffuse during gatherings - warm and welcoming and a perfect way to add a little holiday cheer.
Blue Spruce and Patchouli bring the woodsy scents of the outdoors (and support immunity), while Orange and Grapefruit are fun, playful and uplifting.
Diffuse this blend after a day playing out in the cold.
The iconic holiday candy is more than meets the eye, carrying symbolism many of us don't know. This blend is the same.
Peppermint is bright and crisp and wonderful for the respiratory system, Ylang Ylang is floral and sweet and emotionally uplifting, and Vanilla is warm and inviting.
This combination of spice oils with a little Jade Lemon will take you back to your fondest memories of grandmother's baked goods!
This is also a great blend to diffuse if you're feeling the stress of the season. Nutmeg is wonderful for the adrenals, and Copaiba and Vanilla are calming, while Jade Lemon is bright and happy.
This combination is bright and fresh and perfect for any time of day, but especially love it in the mornings or whether we are feeling the anxieties of the season.
Spruce, spice and everything nice! This blend of Christmas Spirit, Tangerine, Bergamot and Nutmeg is the perfect blend for the season.
As Always, I'm here to support you.

Spruce, Peppermint and Orange for the fall, Purification, Tangerine and Lavender for the spring - the options are limitless. Check out all the diffuser recipes on this blog for oil combinations.
- Natural yellow beeswax or white beeswax pellets
- 1 tsp per jar of organic coconut oil
- Hemp wicks
- Wick stickers
- A wick centering device
- Glass jars or candle tins
- 50-75 drops essential oils per jar
- Twine and fresh rosemary or lavender sprigs for garnish, if desired
- 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 sticker to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly to the bottom of your glass jar. Align the wick holder on the top of the jar to keep the wick from moving to one side.
- 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 new the top 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 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 while wax is cooling, dropping the oils in various places around the wax.
- Allow the wax to cool and harden, then tie with twine and a sprig of rosemary or other garnish as desired. This also makes a lovely gift!
- 30 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce or Idaho Blue Spruce, 20 drops Cinnamon Bark, 10 drops Tangerine

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 (sun protection factor) is a measurement of sunburn protection. So if your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, wearing an SPF 10 sunscreen would theoretically allow you to stay in the sun for 100 minutes (10 x 10) without burning. A higher SPF doesn't always equate to that much more protection. Also, note that SPF is a measure of protection against UVB rays only, and we need protection against UVA rays which is why we want "broad spectrum" sunscreen.
- 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!
