  • Offers immune support
  • Creates unfriendly terrain for yeast and fungus
  • Dissolves quickly for maximum results
So much of our modern world can take a toll on our health - environmental exposure, devitalized food, lack of sleep, abundance of stress, polluted water and air. And even these in small quantities can add up to a cumulative does that leaves us needing us extra support. Sometimes we need that support acutely and other times we need it on a more consistent basis. Either way, Inner Defense is a great option for strengthening the body systems.

Inner Defense and Emotions

When we begin to fall below the wellness line, our emotional and mental health is also affected. All of our body systems are interconnected, so it makes sense that we often feel run down, fatigued, exhausted even on an emotional level when our defenses go down.

Sometimes the emotional and mental effects hit first. So if your feeling run down, vulnerable, easily overwhelmed or triggered, stop and take inventory of your physical health as well. The organisms that invade our cells and bring us down affect our emotions too.

Oils that can help include Oregano, Thyme and Rosemary essential oils, all of which are part of the Inner Defense capsules.

Learn More:
Inner Defense uses potent essential oils including Oregano, Thyme, and Thieves to reinforce systemic defenses, promote healthy respiratory function, and offer immune support. These liquid capsules dissolve quickly for maximum results and help the body create an unfriendly terrain for yeast and fungus.

How To Use

  • Take 1 capsule up to 3 times daily for acute needs. We suggest taking with food and at the very first sign of your defenses going down.
  • Take 1 soft gel daily for support as desired. We often take Inner Defense when traveling or other times where we feel we need extra immune support.
  • For best results, take with food and take Life 9 probiotic approximately 8 hours after taking Inner Defense. If you forget or cannot take Inner Defense with a meal, have a snack with plenty of healthy fat (nut butter, avocado, etc)
  • Parenting Hack - for children, use a safety pin or needle to create a small hole in the gelcap, then gently squeeze and apply the contents along the spine or the bottom of the feet.

Join us this month as we use Inner Defense this month and beyond to support our immune system and emotions as we head into the cooler weather!

Cinnamon Bark Oil Spotlight - Oct 2021


Cinnamon Bark

Oil Spotlight for October

Cinnamon Bark essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is inviting, especially during the Autumn Season.


Cinnamon Bark cleanses the air, creates a warming sensation on the skin when applied topically, and contains antioxidants that help support the immune system and general wellness. Overall, it is a staple essential oil for every household.

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 October. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Cinnamon Bark AT A Glance

  • Has a warm, spicy, inviting aroma
  • Eliminates orders when used aromatically
  • creates a warming sensation when applied topically
  • Has the highest known ORAC value
  • Strong antioxidant
  • Part of the Botanical Family Lauraceae (Laurel family)
Native to Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon, or true cinnamon, is a tall leafy bush that produces fragrant bark and leaves. A member of the laurel family, it is well know the world over as an aromatic culinary spice. Cinnamon Bark essential oil is steam distilled from the inner bark of the tree and has a warm, spicy aroma that evokes memories of the holidays when diffused.

Cinnamon Bark Vitality contains antioxidants and may provide immune and general wellness support when taken as a dietary supplement.

Note: Cinnamon Bark and Cinnamon Bark Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently to comply with FDA standards.

Key Constituents - Cinnamaldehyde


Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols. Antioxidants are a huge bolster to health since so much of our modern life can create oxidative stress in the body. In a study that compared the antioxidant activity of 26 spices, cinnamon wound up as the clear winner, even outranking "superfoods" like garlic and oregano!

Antioxidants also help support the body's response to inflammation, which plays a role in almost all chronic diseases. Cinnamon can also support healthy cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure levels - making it a wonderful tool for our health.

Check out these references:

Daily Habits with Cinnamon Bark

Dilute Cinnamon Bark with V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex and massage it on your feet for a warming massage that supports healthy circulation and tired muscles.

Add a couple drops of Cinnamon Bark to your favorite perfume roller for a warm, spicy undertone:

NingXia Nitro Ditch and Switch - Sept 2021

NingXia Nitro

September 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 switch out sugary, stimulant-laden drinks for the natural energy of NingXia Nitro.

With ingredients specifically crafted to kick it up a notch, NingXia Nitro is the absolute perfect solution when you've started your day at the crack of dawn and need to rev your energy storage, or when you're seriously suffering from that afternoon slump, or you simply need to tackle a to-do list a mile long - NingXia Red has your back!

NingXia Nitro is a delicious wolfberry drink infused with essential oils, botanical extracts, D-ribose, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract to increase cognitive alertness, enhance mental fitness and support overall performance. When you need a pick-me-up, turn to NingXia Nitro to improve your physical performance, increase you overall energy reserves, sharpen your mind, and become more focused.

Key Ingredients in NingXia Nitro
  • NingXia Nitro Juice: cherry, kiwi, blueberry, black currant, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry juices which are packed full of antioxidants to help support our bodies, especially when they are running low.
  • Nitro Energy Blend: D-ribose, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Choline, Potassium, Green tea extract, mulberry leaf extract, Korean Ginseng extract and wolfberry seed oil. All of these are plant-derived vitamins and herbs that help support energy levels naturally.
    • D-ribose: essential to help build ATP in the body. ATP is the body's energy currency. You need it to, you know, take a breath, have a heartbeat and for a neuron to fire.
    • Korean Ginsing: well studied for its ability to support normal cognition.
    • Green Tea Extract: NATURALLY OCCURRING source of caffeine. There's approximately 30 mg of caffeine per tube.
    • B Vitamins: Critical for normal neuron function. They also help support normal cognitive/brain function.
    • Choline: Helps support cell membrane structure and is an essential building block for neurotransmitters, in particular - Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps tone down the body and tells the body that its okay to relax. It also supports the body's ability to make good memories and to retain memories.
  • Nitro Alert Blend: vanilla, chocolate, Yerba mate, spearmint, peppermint, nutmeg and black pepper. These oils are great for digestion, supporting the adrenal system (the 'fight or flight' system that is often turned on too much, especially in the face of constant stress, exposure to computer screens, demanding jobs, etc) and improving energy levels.
Why We Love it
  • Supports alertness
  • Promotes cognitive fitness
  • Supports physical fitness
  • Great source of Iodine
Sadly, conventional energy drinks are filled with ingredients that are actually harmful to our health. Energy drinks are widely promoted as products that increase energy and enhance mental alertness and physical performance. Next to multivitamins, energy drinks are the most popular dietary supplement consumed by American means and young adults.

Large amounts of caffeine may cause serious heart and blood vessel problems such as heart rhythm disturbances and increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Caffeine also may harm children's still-developing cardiovascular and nervous system digestive problems, and dehydration.

Energy drinks often also contain high amounts of sugar. A single 16 ounce container of an energy drink may contain 54 to 62 grams of added sugar. This exceeds the maximum amount of added sugars recommended for an entire day.

Overall, energy drinks are associated with sugar crashes, energy slumps and caffeine 
withdrawal. Thankfully, we have a natural, health-supporting options that works even better!

To Use
  • Consume directly from the tube or mix with 1 ounce of NingXia Red or 4 ounces of water
  • Best served chilled
  • Consume to enhance physical performance
  • Enjoy anytime you need a pick-me-up
  • Drink when you need to clear your mind
Mommy's Midday Mix (aka the Mommy Mojito)
  • 2 oz NingXia Red
  • 1 NingXia Nitro
  • Coconut water
  • Mineral water
  • 1 drop Lime essential oil
Join us this month as we switch out sugary, stimulant-laden drinks for the natural energy of NingXia Nitro.

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.

KidScents KidPower Oil Spotlight - Aug 2021

KidScents KidPower

August's Oil Spotlight


Sometimes life can be big and scary for children, but they have the power to face all of life's big and little challenges! Sometimes they just need help discovering that power inside themselves.

KidPower is a unique, everyday blend formulated to help inspire feelings of confidence, courage, and positivity at home, at school, or on the playground...

But it's not just for kids! This blend is also amazing for adults and makes a wonderful perfume.

KidPower AT A Glance

  • Aroma inspires feelings of confidence and courage
  • Scent helps ease occasional feelings of doubt, fear, and worry
  • Aroma creates a comforting environment for times of daily stress, occasional anxiousness, or nervousness
  • Blended aroma helps support feelings of emotional balance, well-being and positivity
  • Pre-diluted for delicate skin
  • Recommended for children ages 2 and up

Background

Raising confident, courageous children can be a challenge, especially with all they experience in today's world. And I am grateful to have natural tools in our parenting toolkit, like the KidPower blend.

This blend was created specifically to help arm parents with a unique mix of essential oils designed to promote feelings of courage and confidence. This exclusive blend of some of Young Living's favorite and inspiring essential oils offers a sweet, empowering aroma that will be loved by both children and parents. Diffuse it daily and as needed for an aroma boost to support feelings of positivity and confidence.

Key Ingredients
  • Back Spruce - earthy and grounding to help balance the senses
  • Blue Tansy - has a floral aroma that is uplifting to the senses and calming to the Central Nervous System
  • Frankincense - popular for meditation and promotes a comforting, grounded environment
  • Geranium - promotes peaceful, uplifted feelings
  • Ho Wood - provides a floral, relaxing aroma
  • Orange - has a sweet and energizing aroma, helps to stimulate creativity
  • Vanilla - provides a warm, sweet and comforting scent

Daily Habits with KidPower

  • Apply 2-4 drops directly to wrists, chest, neck or any other area. Dilution is not required, except for the most sensitive of skin, so you can add a roller fitment directly to the bottle or opt for the roll-on version.
  •  Create an application ritual, and get your kids involved! Grab your KidPower or KidPower Roll-on and place it beside their toothbrush, backpack, or homeschool bin - anywhere they will be able to find and easily use it daily. We love rolling on our oil and repeating a family Motta, a bible verse, or positive affirmation together.
  • Make a roller with KidPower, Vetiver, and Lavender for help calming over excited kids and promote calm, confident focus.
  • Make a simple linen spray with equal parts KidPower and Lavender, a splash of witch hazel and filtered water. Spray on sheets, loves, pajamas, or any other soft surface as desired.

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 KidPower with us this month!

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

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.

Why we love Young Living's CBD Beauty Boost

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
  • 5 drops Lavender (for oily skin), optional
  • 5 droppersful CBD Beauty Boost
  • Carrier oil of choice (jojoba oil for normal to mixed skin, argan oil for dry skin, hazelnut oil for oily skin)
Join us this month as we overhaul our skincare routine and truly treat ourselves and our skin to the most incredible serum on the market.

Do you ever see the monthly freebies Young Living so generously offers us, and wonder, "But what would I do with that?" Well, we've got you covered with these simple tips and DIYs for how to use the freebies.

DIY - Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillow

Make this today!
DIY Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillows

These eye pillows are a fun DIY and are wonderful to have around the home! You can choose different fabrics or even change the essential oil, but we are partial to Lavender. They are also wonderful when you are experiencing head and neck tension or are needing a little extra TLC!

These eye pillows can be enjoyable just as they are, without warming or cooling. Place them over your eyes and breathe in to relax, relieve stress and help encourage restful sleep. Or you can use the hot or cold. To use cold, place in the freezer for about 20 minutes before use, or keep in the freezer between each use.

To use warm, carefully heat in the microwave for 10 second intervals. Be careful to not let it get too hot. Start with 10 seconds on one side and then flip and do 10 seconds on the other side. the flax seeds inside are great for holding onto heat for an extended period, and healthy will also release more scent oils from the lavender buds.

You will need the following for pillow:
  • 1/4 yard of fabric (you will have extra) Note - make sure the fabric is washed and dried before you begin
  • 1 1/4 cup flax seed
  • 3/4 cup dried Lavender buds
  • 20 or so drops Lavender essential oil
For each pillow, cut 2 layers of fabric measuring 4.5 inches by 10.5 inches. You'll want right sides facing out for frayed edges or right sides in for no frays. Begin by sewing alongside a long edge, making your way all mourned, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Be sure you leave one short edge open to fill the pillow.

Mix the Lavender buds, flax seed and a few drops of Lavender essential oil in a bowl, then fill the pillow bag until its mostly full. The measurements above should give you the perfect amount. Finally, sew the open edge closed containing the insides.

A few tips..
  • a lightweight fabric will help the smell diffuse better, think a medium weight linen or light cotton.
  • The amount of Lavender and flax seed can be played with. If you desire more buds, go ahead and increase that amount. If you want more flax, have at it.
  • Losing smell? Try cursing the bag in your hands to help more scent release.
  • Other essential oil options:

Essentials for May 2021

The May Essentials are Here!
What should I order?


For the month of May we are focusing on releasing the emotional weights that are tying us down and releasing the physical stress within our bodies! Stress-free summer here we come. Here are a few essential items we are using this month to cultivate the stress-free summer we desire.

White Angelica oil blend - the friend of those walking though hard times
CortiStop - the stress supplement
Feelings Kit - for emotional health and peaceful, easy feelings
Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs - to melt the stress away
Tangerine essential oil - for bright, happy vibes
Lavender Bath & Shower Gel - for daily selfceare and stress release

White Angelica Essential Oil

Each essential oil in White Angelica was carefully selected to help promote a positive, peaceful atmosphere when diffused. This oil blend is an incredibly powerful emotional tool for when you are struggling with negative emotions, carrying the weight of others, and processing grief or disappointment. This blend is also wonderful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings and tend to process through nightmares. Pair it with lavender for a calming, relaxing blend to help release negative emotions.

Lean more about White Angelica essential oil blend in my Oil of the Month post.


CortiStop

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such a feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders. 

Enter CortiStop.

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

To learn more, check out the May Supplement post.

Feelings Kit

The Feelings Kit includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patters - Harmony, Forgiveness, Present Time, Inner Child, Release and Valor.

Join me this month to utilize these powerful oils instead of turning our comfort vices - shopping, Netflix, food, alcohol, overworking to name a few! Follow the 'Feelings Protocol' in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

For more, including the usage protocol, check out the May Ditch & Switch blog.

Stress Away Bath Bombs

No matter how you do it, take a moment for yourself is always a good idea, and one of my favorite way to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub. So, lets ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores and grab the Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs instead. 

Stress Away is one of Young Living's most popular blends and for good reason. This oil is wonderful for creating a calm, relaxing environment. PLUS these natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synethetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients - making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

Tangerine essential oil

Bright and happy, this citrus oil has a delightfully sweet aroma that can create a happy, contented mindset. It pairs well with just about anything. Adding White Angelica or the oils in the Feelings Kit can improve your emotional outcome. Citrus oils in general help to promote feelings of creativity, confidence and contentment.

Diffuse Tangerine with:

Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Infused with Lavender, Lemon, and Davana essential oils, the Lavender Bath & Shower Gel is one of our favorites for elevating the everyday. It cleanses, soothe, and relaxes your skin and is free of chemicals and synthetic preservatives. 

Use it daily in your shower or go the extra mile and pair it with a Stress Away bath bombs for an ultimate relaxing bath. This plant-based formula smells incredible and makes us look forward to a moment of peace in our daily routine.
