Main Street USA Diffuser Blends - July 2025

Main Street USA Diffuser Blends

Step into the heart of a small-town summer - where parades march down tree-lined streets, lemonade stands dot every corner, and fireworks light up the night sky.

These blends are inspired by the simple joys of an old-fashioned American summer: warm pies cooling on the porch, crisp grass under bare feet, and the sweet fizz of a soda fountain treat. With just a few drops, you can fill your home with the scents of nostalgia, comfort, and celebration. Welcome to Main Street, where the spirit of summer lives on.

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!!

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight - May 2025

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight

Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen is a must-have in our wellness routine! We get all natural, broad spectrum sun protection that dermatologist-recommended, and the planet gets safe sunscreen that won't damage reefs and ocean life.

If that's not a win, we don't know what is!! Added bonus – this summer staple is lightweight enough to wear under makeup for daily protection if you desire!

Mineral Sunscreen at a Glance

  • Non-nano zinc oxide provides safe and powerful SPF 50 sun protection for the whole family
  • Clean ingredients and zero skin-damaging chemicals
  • Dermatologist tested and cruelty freeNon-greasy, fast-absorbing formula without white residue
  • Formulated for all skin types
  • Formulated without avobenzone, oxybenzone, retinyl palmitate, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, UV chemical absorbers, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances
  • Reef-safe formula will not damage natural coral reefs and wildlife
Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is your summer sunshine BFF. This formula offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, is reef safe, great for children and all skin types, and goes a long way! Made with non-nano zinc oxide, this sunscreen gives you peace of mind that you are choosing the safest sun protection for yourself, your family, and the planet.

Key Ingredients

We love that this product is a base of non-nano zinc oxide, but it is also 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.

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide - provides broad-spectrum sun protection to prevent burns (even on photo-sensitive skin); aids skin healing and recovery after injury
  • Helichrysum - a powerful regenerative oil that soothes, moisturizes and helps heal the skin
  • Myrrh - an ultimate skincare oil; soothes and moisturizes the skin and help promote natural healing
  • Carrot Seed - provides skin moisturizing, protection, and cleansing properties
  • Sacred Frankincense - the variety of Frankincense given to Jesus at his birth; a wonderful oil for skin soothing and healing and protection
Why Ditch Conventional Sunscreen

Did you know that up to 75 percent of sunscreens are toxic, hiding many irritating chemicals? All those products whose active ingredients are avobenzone or oxybenzone (or something similar!) may be preventing some sun damage, but they are doing other damage at the same time. They can cause allergies, skin sensitivities, disrupt your hormones, and cause airway irritation.

Plus, most commercial products work by blocking either UVA or UVB rays but not both types. This means that chemical sunscreen manufacturers need to combine several different formulas/solutions into one product to prevent sunburns. The more chemicals that are added to the formula, the higher the chances are for negative reactions, allergies, and hormone damage. And for individuals with more sensitive skin, these sunscreens won't always prevent skin cancer and often cause reactions like hives, swelling and acne.

Let's talk about reefs super quickly. An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all the chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning these chemical ingredients that harm coral reefs!

Just say no, friend. Grab some Mineral Sunscreen. Your skin, your health, the planet, and likely your dermatologist will thank you!

How to Use Mineral Sunscreen

  • Apply liberally to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
  • Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every 2 hours.
Mineral Sunscreen Hacks

If you need an easy way to apply your mineral sunscreen (hello kiddos!), we highly recommend this simple sunscreen applicator. Simply pour your Mineral Sunscreen into it and apply. Or try one of these simple DIY hacks!

DIY Sunscreen Spray
  • An entire tube of YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 1/2 bottle of ClaraDerm Spray
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Mix the two ingredients well in the spray bottle, then pop the top back on. Easy to use and so good on the skin!
DIY Sunscreen Spray II
Make sure to test for small amounts of time if you have fair skin or are concerned about diluting the sunscreen.
  • 1 tube YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 8 oz fractionated coconut oil
  • 20 drops Lavender
  • 30 drops Carrot Seed
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Add all ingredients to the bottle, and shake to combine!

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
