• Essential oils: Christmas Spirit, Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, Thieves
• Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks
  Step 1 - Slice your oranges in circles to ¼ to ½ inch in thickness and arrange them on a non-stick surface or parchment paper. Pour 2-3 drops of essential oils on each slice, then set them in a cool oven and turn the temperature onto the lowest setting your oven will allow. (If your oven does not go below 300, set it there and use a wooden spoon to prop the oven open slightly and allow some heat to dissipate.)
  Step 2 - Leave the slices in the oven for about 5 hours, then shut the oven off and leave the oranges in there overnight or until completely cool. They will be fairly dry, but will continue to dry out over time. You don't want to over dry them in the oven because they can start to burn!
  Step 3 - Once they are dry, string them with some twine, alternating with a few varying sized slices and a cranberry or two, a tied cinnamon stick, whatever you like! Hang them in your home for some delicious smelling holiday cheer!

A great diffuser blend can set the stage for whatever you have going on this season. Create a cozy home, bring in some bakery vibes, reminisce with the feelings of a frosted forest, or set the stage for a long winter's nap!

Simple Crafts for the Holidays

Whether your kiddos are coming out of school for a few weeks or you just want some simple, fun activities for the season, here are some of our favorite festive crafts to do together this season!

Clay Leaf Dish

This simple craft gets everyone outdoors and can even be a school project with just a little imagination! It makes a lovely oil tray or a handmade gift.

• Air dry clay 
• Craft paper 
• Rolling pin
• Craft paint (we like the metallic colors!) + brushes
• Modge Podge gloss or other sealer 
• Various leaves from your yard
  Step 1 - Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out onto craft paper to about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit. Then, press your leaf (vein side down) onto the clay. Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife, then remove the excess clay from around your imprint.
  Step 2 - Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge. Allow the clay to air dry and harden on a baking rack for 24 hours.
  Step 3 - Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then dry for 24 hours. After the sealer is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year. 

Essential Oil Infused Play Dough

This is a fun one to get your children to make with you OR to make and surprise them with after school!

• 2 cups flour (can use gluten-free if desired)
• 1 cup salt
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil
• 2 cups cold water
• 5 drops essential oil: Lavender, Peace & Calming, Tangerine, Believe

  Step 1 - Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, oil, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the dough has reached the right consistency.
  Step 2 - Let cool, split into 3 balls, and knead in essential oils and optional food coloring until it is distributed evenly throughout each ball of playdough. Store in airtight container.

We hope you enjoy this Holiday Handbook. May your days be merry and bright!

• Purification is our favorite way to keep our homes smelling fresh and clean - even if they aren't! It has a crisp, fresh aroma, and unlike many harsh chemical-based sprays it truly eliminates odors and doesn't simply mask them.

• Apply Purification topically to calm everyday skin irritations or use to spot-treat blemishes.

• Considered the panacea of aromatherapy, Lavender essential oil has endless uses – it is truly our Swiss Army Knife! In addition to its tranquil aroma, Lavender provides many skin care benefits, from beauty routines to first aid needs! It is also one we reach for to calm our systems when the air quality lowers.
• Apply Lavender topically following sun exposure or add it to your facial essence, serum, or moisturizer.
• Add 4 drops of Lavender and 1 cup of Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment.
• Use it as a spot treatment for minor bumps and blemishes.

• Diffuse Peppermint while working or during homework time to create a focused environment.
• Sprinkle a few drops in your shower for an awakening shower steam in the morning.
• Apply it to your neck and shoulders or to tired muscles following physical activity for a cooling sensation.

The 2023 Travel Handbook

How to Travel with Oils

Our oils go wherever we go! Often they are in our backpacks, purses and cars either on their own or in a cute oil organizer, but when you're traveling by plane or leaving the country you will want to store them differently.

• For plane travel, place your oil bottles or rollers in a 1 quart ziploc bag just like you do with your other liquids & gels, making sure to tighten the lids. We recommend keeping them in your carry-on luggage to avoid any leaks.
• Choose NingXia Red packets and place them in the zip top bag with the other liquids.
• When flying internationally ALWAYS check their TSA regulations as some may vary by country.
• Grab a supplement organizer and fill it out with your Young Living supplements (we love Inner Defense, Super C Chewables and ImmuPro for travel!)
• Grab a Bon Voyage travel Pack for TSA-approved sizes of your favorite Young Living personal care products and a perfectly sized carrier.

---

Quick Travel Hacks

• Reuse an essential oil bottle and fill with liquid carrier oil as a convenient way to dilute your oils when needed.
• Reuse Thieves Hand Sanitizer bottles to make TSA-approved sizes of your shampoo, conditioner, etc.
• Roll up your diffuser plug and stick inside the diffuser, then add the covers back to make sure you don't forget it! We like to travel with the Desert Mist since it is plastic, and you can even forgo the outer cover to save space!
• Premix diffuser blends in empty 5mL bottles for convenience -- think Thieves + Orange for when you arrive and Lavender, Valor and Frankincense for sweet sleep when traveling!
• Utilize the packet versions of supplements: AlkaLime for happy bellies, KidScents MightyPro as an adult probiotic that doesn't need refrigeration, KidScents Unwind as a nightly magnesium supplement.
• Quick tip! - Dining outside & want to keep the bugs away? Grab an outdoor fan, put a few drops of Citronella + Geranium on a clothespin (or two!) & attach to the front of the fan & you have yourself a giant outdoor diffuser!

The 2023 Summer Handbook

Summer Skin

Two simple steps for getting that beach body:

1. Have a body.

2. Go to the beach.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt if our skin was smooth & glowing too right?! A few of our favorite summer body DIYS!

Margarita Body Scrub via Hello Glow

• 1/2 cup salt (You can use regular salt, kosher salt or leftover margarita salt)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1-2 tablespoons tequila
• Juice of 1 lime
• A few drops of Lime EO
  Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until you have a paste. Add more olive oil if needed. Then scrub away in the shower. One note of caution – use the scrub before you shave, not after, because it might burn. The tequila and lime juice are natural antiseptics, the salt exfoliates any dead skin, and the olive oil adds lots of moisture! 

Grapefruit Body Smoothing Oil

• Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil
• Grapefruit Essential Oil
  In your hands, mix together one pump of Cel-Lite Magic + one drop of Grapefruit. Massage into legs and arms in a circular motion. Continue on any areas that need a little extra smoothing & get your beauty sleep! Be sure to shower before going out in the sun! 

DIY Summer Glow Serum

Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game changer! Apply morning and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed ‘Botox in a Bottle' so you know it's good!)

• 2 oz glass dropper bottle 
• 10 dropperfuls CBD Beauty Boost
• 40 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
• Optional: 20 drops Blue Tansy Essential Oil
• Carrier of choice: argan oil (great for dry skin), jojoba oil (good for all skin types), rose hip oil (for all skin types)

DIY Vitamin C Facial Toner

Vitamin C and Geranium are a dynamic duo when it comes to brightening the skin. Try out this simple toner as we head into the summer!

• 2 oz glass dropper bottle
• 1&1/2 tsp Organic vitamin C powder 
• 5 drops Geranium essential oil
• 3 Tbsp distilled water
• Splash alcohol-free witch hazel (optional for more oil-prone skin)
  Mix vitamin C powder into the water until dissolved, then add Geranium and top with a splash of witch hazel (optional). Use morning and evening or as desired.
  Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge. 

Moisturizing Oatmeal Soak

Sun and wind and heat can leave the skin needing a little extra moisture. Give your skin (and your whole self!) some TLC with a long, luxurious soak with these simple but effective ingredients.

• 1 cup organic oats, ground
• ¼ cup organic powdered milk (or coconut milk) (or goat milk)
• 1 Tbsp liquid castile soap
• 2 tsp Vitamin E oil
• 10 drops each Frankincense, Cedarwood OR use the YL Dry Skin Serum
• (Optional) 5 drops Helichrysum
  Sit and soak for 30 minutes or as long as desired.
