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.
- 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.
- Supports alertness
- Promotes cognitive fitness
- Supports physical fitness
- Great source of Iodine
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!

Tangerine
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.
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
Daily Habits with Tangerine
- Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to your soles for happy feet and circulation.

KidScents Toothpaste
August 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 detox our bathroom shelves and switch out conventional kids' toothpaste for Young Living's KidScents Toothpaste.
- Cleaner teeth gently with a natural derived formula created for children
- Formulated with gentle, order-absorbing baking soda for fresher breath
- Fights plaque with brushing
- Removes surface stains gently
- Provides a long lasting, clean, and free feel
- Formulated without fluoride, SLS, synthetic dyes, peroxide, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or gluten containing ingredients.
- Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): SLS promotes the foaming action of conventional toothpastes, but does nothing as far as efficacy. It has been linked to the development of canker sores and can change the way the taste buds work. (This is why everything tastes bad after you brush your teeth!)
- Triclosan: This chemical is common in toothpaste and has been linked to antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. Disruption in the endocrine system can create serious effects, especially over time. This is also an active ingredient in hand sanitizers.
- Artificial Dyes and Colors: To make the blue or red stripe that is perfectly placed in the middle of the toothpaste, manufacturers add food coloring, often a petroleum based product. Red 40 , Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are the worst according to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Some of these food dyes come with side effects like hyperactivity and hypersensitivity reactions.
- Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol is used as the surfactant in conventional toothpaste to promote foaming. It is found extensively in paints, enamels, and antifreeze. Pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol is common in personal care products. Unfortunately, it can cause skin, lung and eye irrational.
- Titanium Dioxide: White titanium dioxide is added to make toothpaste white, and is entirely unnecessary. It is also found in supplements, added to foods and to make paint white. Titanium dioxide is currently under review as far as its safety.
- Baking Soda
- Xylitol
- Stevia
- Coconut Oil
- Grapefruit Essential Oil
- Spearmint Essential Oil

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!
