    Step 3 - Add a card that reads: Use this sweet cinnamon whipped butter on warm bread, pancakes, waffles, or as a delicious topping for muffins and scones. Enjoy your  festive treat!
Herbed Cooking & Grilling Salts

To a pint sized mason jar mix together:
  • 1 cup coarse Himalayan salt
  • 5 drops Rosemary Vitality essential oil
  • 5 drops Oregano Vitality essential oil (optional)
  • Roughly chopped fresh rosemary
    Add a note tied to the jar that says: Use your herb-infused salt for grilling vegetables, meats, or as a seasoning for baked dishes. It can also be sprinkled on roasted potatoes or used as a finishing salt for soups and salads!
Homemade Sugar Cookie Mix
In a clean, dry mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order:
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    Close the lid tightly and add a decorative label and ribbon with the following instructions for baking the cookies. 
To Make Sugar Cookies:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Gather Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    Step 1 - In a large bowl, whip 1 cup softened butter until smooth, then add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
    Step 2 - Add the mix from the mason jar to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add 5 drops of Lemon Vitality.
    Step 3 - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    Step 4 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Home for the Holidays Diffuser Blends - Nov 2024

Home for the Holidays
Diffuser Blends

It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that.

Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Comfort & Joy

  • 4 drops Christmas Spirit
  • 3 drops Frankincense
  • 3 drops Bergamot
  • 2 drops Lavender
The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, but let's be honest - sometimes that can be an emotional experience. Whether it's stress, family dynamics, or just the hustle and bustle of going here and there, this blend feels like a warm hug in the middle of the chaos.

Christmas Spirit brings the cozy, festive feeling we all want, while Frankincense adds a grounding element so you can feel calm and centered. Lavender softens the edges of tension, and a bit of Bergamot brings a bright, uplifting twist to help ease anxious feelings.

Diffuse this blend when gathering with family, or whenever you need a little extra emotional boost! It's like wrapping yourself in comfort while still embracing the joy of the season. Perfect for keeping the holiday spirit alive—even during those more difficult moments.

Abundance Oil Spotlight - Oct 2024

Abundance Spotlight


This rich and spicy oil is designed to help us release fears associated with a poverty mindset. Even when we don't realize it, we have skills, abilities, tools, opportunities, contacts, teachers, and wisdom right at our fingertips. Abundance oil blend (and intentional practices!) can help us to realize this fact and step into those things in front of us! 

Abundance at a Glance

  • Has a warm, spicy aroma that is stimulating and inspiring 
  • Can help enhance the mindset of prosperity and plentitude
  • Is a wonderful addition to your daily gratitude practice. Pair this oil blend with a daily gratitude journal.
  • Pairs well with Harmony, Forgiveness, Joy, Tangerine, Stress Away, Valor and White Angelica essential oils
  • A great addition to the Feelings Collection kit.
Background

Abundance essential oil blend features Orange, Frankincense, Patchouli, Clove, Ginger, Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark, and Black Spruce essential oils, which were used by ancient cultures to attract prosperity and magnify joy and peace. Each oil in this blend was chosen for its unique properties!

Key Ingredients

  • Orange - high in limonene, which is great for the immune system; uplifting and encouraging to the mind and spirit
  • Frankincense - carries historical and biblical significance as a grounding and uplifting aroma
  • Patchouli - grounding and helps connect to the inner self
  • Myrrh - stimulates the limbic system, the seat of memory; a wonderful oil to use to work on stored emotional trauma or negative thoughts
  • Black Spruce - grounding and relaxing and helps to clear the mind.
It is time for us to wake up to the walls we are building between us and freedom because we insist that there is never enough time, money, or us. We choose. We have the same 24 hours anyone else has, our own unique set of gifts that no one else has, and one life to live. Let's not waste a single moment in fear and a spirit of lack.

We can have this spirit of not having enough in our health and wellness as well as in our finances. Always believing that it's not worth it to invest in our health, that we'll never have enough energy, and that it's impossible for us to be "whole" in our health. We are believing falsehoods. We were created for wholeness and our bodies were designed for healing.
As you apply this oil, speak truth over yourself such as: 
  • "I lack nothing."
  • "I have everything I need."
  • "I am enough."
Key Constituents

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Alpha pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Bornyl acetate - may help calm and focus the mind
Daily Habits with Abundance

Diffuse as you work, read, and contact others.

Dab onto letters, packages, and envelopes you are sending out to business contacts.

Apply to your wrists and over your heart as you pray over your team, your time, and your future in this business.

Put on the edges of your calendar and planner so that every time you are thinking of your time commitments, you are shifting to a viewpoint of abundance and choice.

Drop on a diffuser bracelet in your purse or wallet and stop thinking of money as something in short supply. Money will ALWAYS be there and there will be ways to attain it. TIME? That's the one you guard. Use your time to find ways to pursue freedom and residual income where your money works FOR YOU.

Make a daily perfume or cologne roller:
  • Abundance, Tangerine, Hope
  • Abundance, Lavender, Frankincense
  • Abundance, Vetiver, Bergamot
  • Abundance, Vanilla, Lavender
Place 1-2 drops of Abundance on the crown of your head each day to focus your intention on hope and vitality.

Make a daily Gratitude Roller:
  • 10 drops Joy 
  • 7 drops Orange
  • 5 drops Abundance
    Top with a carrier oil and roll on liberally + frequently!
Make DIY Oil-Infused Shower Melts
  • 1 cup Baking Soda 
  • 1/2 cup High Quality Epsom Salt  
  • 30 drops Abundance
  • Water (about 2-3 teaspoons)
  • Silicone mold 
    Step 1 - Pour the baking soda and epsom salt into a mixing bowl. Slowly add water, about 2 teaspoons, and mix well. If the mixture is not holding, add another teaspoon of water.
    Step 2 - Add essential oil(s) of your choice and mix well. Scoop into silicone molds and let sit overnight. Remove and store in an airtight container.
    To use - simply place a shower melt on the floor of the shower near the water but not directly in the stream. Enjoy!
Make a DIY Whipped Body Butter: 
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure organic shea butter
  • 1 Tbsp Vitamin E oil
  • 20 drops Abundance
  • 15 drops Tangerine
    Step 1 - Melt together coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, then add in vitamin E oil and whisk.
    Step 2 - Refrigerate until almost half solidified, then use a mixer to whip for 1 to 2 minutes until a fluffy consistency is achieved. Add in essential oils then place in a glass jar. 
Whip up a DIY Massage Oil:
  • 4 oz pump bottle 
  • 20 drops Abundance essential oil
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops Orange essential oil
  • Carrier of choice
Give your tired feet some love with this DIY Foot Scrub
  • 2 Tbsp Organic Sugar

  • 3 drops Abundance
  • 2 drops Peppermint (optional)
  • Mix ingredients well then rub onto feet. Wrap feet with warm damp towels and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes remove towel and wipe off scrub. Follow with moisturizer if desired.

  • Creates a calming experience when used aromatically and supports healthy sleep
  • Helps maintain the appearance of healthy-looking skin when applied topically
  • Soothes tense and sore muscles when applied to the skin
Tree oils in general are wonderful for supporting our bodies during times of inflammation. Because they are high in alpha-pinene, they support the body's natural response to injury and stress, allowing our bodies to be soothed and to recover in the face of acute needs. And NLBS is no different! This oil is a great one to grab after a workout, during acute immune system needs, or anytime your body is feeling the effects of inflammation of any kind!

BACKGROUND

Historically, spruce was used by the Lakota Indians to strengthen their ability to communicate with the Great Spirit and was believed to possess the frequency of prosperity. Northern Lights Black Spruce is a wonderful oil to diffuse or apply during prayer and meditation.

NLBS & Emotions

Northern Lights Black Spruce is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions.

This is a great option to diffuse for any kiddos having trouble with transitions, new schools, big changes and are helpful when dealing with emotional trauma and anger.

Our emotional health is directly affected by (and affects) how we feel physically, and Northern Lights Black Spruce can help with immune health! This oil helps the body detox naturally and promote production of leukocytes (white blood cells) which boosts the body's natural defenses.

Key Constituents

Super B Tablets

Super B is a comprehensive B Vitamin complex contains all eight essential energy-boosting B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12). It features Orgen-FA, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methycobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12. Combined with Nutmeg essential and bioavailable chelated minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, Super B not only assists in maintaining health energy levels, but it also supports mood and cardiovascular and cognitive function!

B Vitamins are essential to health and well-being and each B Vitamin performs a unique and separate function in the body. B Vitamins are not stored in the body, so supplementation is critical.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
  • Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
  • Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
  • Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:

  • Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
  • Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a 4 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
  • Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
  • Consider adding ProgEssence Plus Serum to your routine.

Christmas Spirit Blend Spotlight - Dec 2023


Christmas Spirit Essential

Oil Blend Spotlight


Although we love this blend all year long, there's just a special place in our hearts for Christmas Spirit during the holidays. It doesn't get much better than this cozy scent that lights up the whole room! Make sure you buy now because it's only available for a limited time during the holiday season!

Just a Drop of Christmas Spirit

  • Has an uplifting and joyful aroma
  • Evokes memories of joy, happiness, comfort, and security
  • Fills your space with the scents of winter holidays without the toxins in candles
  • Perfect to use during holiday gatherings
  • Fabulous to gift to friends (add a diffuser or a Thieves Cleaner!)
Christmas Spirit is a sweet, spicy blend of essential oils that taps into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season. Not only does it smell like perfection without attacking your respiratory system like synthetic scents, but it is also an effective way to work through the many emotions and memories that crop up during this time of year.
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:

  • Orange - has a bright aroma that promotes feelings of joy, peace, and happiness; high in limonene, which is great for the immune system
  • Cinnamon Bark - the oil of wealth from the Orient, this spicy sweet oil is reminiscent of holidays and is supportive of immune health. 
  • Black Spruce - like other tree oils, spruce promotes feeling of balance and grounding which are often needed during the holidays.
Key Constituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.

  • Monoterpenes - can support the respiratory system, are responsible for many immune system support properties of essential oils.
  • Sesquiterpenes - may stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
Christmas Spirit & Emotions

The oils in Christmas Spirit not only smell incredible and festive, they are wonderful emotional support tools! Orange and other citrus oils are bright, happy and help stimulate creativity. When we are overwhelmed emotionally or are feeling undervalued or not heard, our creativity can suffer. Citrus oils, especially Orange, can help us shift our focus back towards our needs when we use them intentionally!

The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. Cinnamon Bark is spicy and sweet, alerting to the senses and the mind. It can help move sadness and grief through the body as it physically warms the skin and helps us stay in our bodies (versus constantly being in our thoughts and emotions) so we can process and heal.

Stop for a moment and breathe deeply, connect to what is truly happening in your body and emotions and use this oil blend to help get your body back into safety. Read more about how to process and release emotions in this powerful book Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils.

  • Bottle brush trees 
    Fill the jar or pitcher almost full of water and add a splash of witch hazel. Add about 20-30 drops of oil and stir with a silicone or metal spoon. Hold your tree upside down for about a minute in the water, then take it out and let it air dry! 
Spiced Orange & Cranberry Garland
This is one of our favorite things to do every year. It is beautiful, smells amazing, adds a festive touch to any room and is so easy to make!
  • About 5 oranges or a mix of oranges, clementines and grapefruit for varied sizes and colors
  • 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!

Festive Food & Drink

Whether you are hosting family and friends, having a night at home with your family or just want a little something fun and festive in yoru day, try out these delicious food and drink recipes!

Peppermint Brownies
This might be the simplest essential oil recipe ever... Just add 4-5 drops of Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil to your mix (or from scratch recipe!) after you add the wet ingredients and bake as directed. Once cooled - use your favorite holiday cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Optional to top with a layer of chocolate frosting (with or without a few drops of Peppermint Vitality) or powdered sugar. These are fun to make for parties, neighbors or just because!

Peppermint Mocha
  • 2 cups strongly brewed coffee or espresso
  • 2 cups milk of your choice 
  • ¼ cup cacao powder (you can also use 2T cocoa powder + 3 oz dark chocolate chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey
  • 3-4 drops Peppermint Vitality
    Step 1 - Pour milk into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk in the cacao powder (or whatever chocolate you're using) and the maple syrup. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes, whisking as needed until smooth.
    Step 2 - Remove from the heat and when slightly cooled add 2 drops of Peppermint Vitality (the flavor is bold, so start with 2 drops and add more if you want!)
    Step 3 - Place the peppermint cocoa mixture and the coffee in a Vitamix or other high-powered blender (or use a handheld frother), and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until frothy. Divide into 4 mugs, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or both!
Eggnog Chai
  • Chai Tea Bag & water to prepare it
  • ½ cup eggnog
  • 1 drop Nutmeg Vitality
  • 1 drop Cinnamon Bark Vitality

Once the tea is prepared the eggnog is heated, combine in a mug and let cool slightly, then add a drop of Nutmeg Vitality. Use a hand-held frother, blender or electric milk frother to combine.
    Step 2 - This serves one, so you can double or triple if you need to, top with a sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon and enjoy! You could easily make this with coffee and can add sweetener to taste like honey or maple syrup if you want.
Homemade Hot Cocoa
'Tis the season for Jack Frost nipping at your nose! Wind down and warm up with your favorite mug brimming with homemade hot chocolate.

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 
  • Natural food coloring, optional
    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!
