Thieves Mouthwash: On a Budget

Are you ditching the chemicals out of your bathroom? Don’t forget your mouthwash!  No alcohol, synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives! AND infused with essential oils! Hubby and I LOVE it! But want to see how we make it last longer?!  

Thieves All Purpose Household Cleaner

Thieves All Purpose Household Cleaner
I’ve been using essential oils for years, for many different reasons and have even use them for cleaning my home, cars, and office.  Now, here’s the thing…there’s always something going on in my kitchen, which means there’s a lot of cleaning to be done. I also have pets and then of course, there’s the people who make messes from time so when I purchased my first bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner, I had very high expectations because of how much I love Thieves essential oil.   I want to share with you that this cleaner delivers and actually exceeds my expectations! It may be hard to believe but Thieves Household Cleaner is truly an all in one cleaner with an added benefit of being non-toxic. 

What I love about Thieves all purpose cleaner, is that it is made from 100% plant based and mineral ingredients, and it’s environmentally friendly plus biodegradable. It contains Thieves and lemon essential oils, which are both excellent for natural cleaning. Thieves Household Cleaner comes in a concentrated form so that you have the flexibility to mix it up depending on what your needs are. Here’s how I use it ~
  • Regular all-purpose cleaning: 1 part Thieves (1 cap full) to 30 parts water(about 3 cups.)
  • Heavy duty cleaning and de-greasing: 1 part Thieves to 15 parts water.
  • Glass, windows an light cleaning: 1 part Thieves to 60 parts water.
I use a 30oz. spray bottle to hold my cleaning mixture. Since Thieves comes in a 64oz bottle, the breakdown comes to about 128 bottles of all natural cleaner at about 88 cents each.  I’ve never purchased an all natural cleaner for any where close to that price and never one that’s as effective as Thieves. 

The cleaning power of Thieves stands on it’s own and so does the fact that it’s economical but those two reasons are are not the main reason for my purchase. I wanted a product that would be safe around my family, pets and food from a company that I trust.  Using so many products that are full of hard chemicals was just not working for me and I was passionate about finding a better way to clean.  Thieves from Young Living Esssential Oils has proven time and time again that I made the right choice. 

Don’t forget, friends, you can also take advantage of another awesome bonus with a wholesale membership and purchase of the starter kit. That way you’ll always get the highest discount of 24% off on all Young Living essential oils and other products such as non toxic cleaning supplies, amazing beauty products, and  plus lots of other perks.

Essential oils have become a huge part of my everyday life. It’s easy to replace so many things with an essential oil and I feel good doing it. The Young Living essential oils have changed the way I think of chemicals, medication, and more, so it’s natural to want to talk about it with everyone. We’ve been traveling a lot lately. With a lot of weekend getaways, I have a standard list of things to pack. This past weekend I realized I couldn’t possibly leave on a trip without some of the best essential oils for travel. Because traveling can throw us into so many different environments, but packing space can be limited, I narrowed it down to my top 6 essential oils for travel.

If you’re not familiar with Young Living, then the very best thing for you to do is get started with a Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 11 essential oils, a diffuser, Thieves cleaner sample, Ningxia samples, and everything you need to dive into the essential oil world. It can be intimidating at first, but I’m happy to help in every way possible! 

TOP ESSENTIAL OILS FOR TRAVEL
STRESS AWAY
I don’t necessarily like to “rank” my essential oils, but Stress Away is absolutely one of the must-have essential oils for travel. We all know traveling can be extremely stressful. Whether it’s delayed flights, poor traveling conditions, or just the fear of getting from point A to point B, it can be stressful. The Stress Away roll-on is perfect for every type of travel out there, whether it’s car, train, boat, plane, whatever.
There was a recent week that I felt like I was wearing it as an everyday perfume because one, I was that stressed and two, it actually works really well for me. I roll the Stress Away on behind my ears, on the back of my neck, and onto my wrists. The peppermint in the essential oil blend is also helpful with head tension or just giving that good-feel energy boost.
I usually put it on about 30 minutes before traveling and then I keep it in my purse throughout the trip. I love rolling it on my wrists when I just need a quick breather in the middle of the day. Coming from a girl who’s nerves (gotta stay FDA compliant with my words) have continued to increase every year of my adult life, this is definitely one of the best essential oils for travel.

THIEVES
Everyone. Needs. Thieves. When I travel, I bring the small spray bottle, my hand sanitizer, and the Thieves Vitality essential oil. The plant-based ingredients are naturally derived and help keep me healthy in so many different ways. The Thieves spray is my favorite on the plane. I spray the armchairs, tables, and seatbelt. Call me crazy, but I even bring it with me to the bathroom. Before eating, I always use the waterless Thieves hand purifier.

The Thieves Vitality oil supports my immune system, keeping me healthy throughout my travels. With all the different environments and germs, it’s easy to catch something (just ask my friend that got off a week-long cruise with a horrible cold). It can be added to any morning juice, coffee, or tea. The sweet and spicy flavor is the perfect essential oil for a regular wellness regimen. I know you’ll fall in love with the entire Thieves cleaning line with Young Living.

DIGIZE VITALITY
Speaking of health, I’m the first to admit my diet is a lot different on vacay than it is when I’m at home. I drink too much, eat all the carbs, and probably request the dessert menu more than once. I have a pretty sensitive stomach sometimes, but DiGize has helped me so much!

DiGize Vitality blends Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli. When we were recently in Lucerne, Switzerland, my stomach was feeling so upset. I know it was from over-indulgence, not enough water, and foods that my body isn’t familiar with on a daily basis. I added two drops of DiGize to hot water after our meal and it was a lifesaver. It can also be added in a capsule and taken orally on a daily basis as part of a regular wellness regimen. Having it with me is just a stress-reliever knowing that it’ll calm my stomach if needed.

LAVENDER
Lavender is one of my all-time favorite oils. It’s the oil that convinced me to start trying more essential oils. The versatility of lavender essential oil makes it such a great travel companion. The fresh, floral, and calming scent comes with me so I can continue my evening routine while on vacation. I rub the lavender on the bottom of my feet to set the stage for a restful atmosphere, leaving me refreshed the next morning.

Again, if you’re new to the essential oil world, start off with lavender. You’ll find yourself using it in so many different ways.

DEEP RELIEF
If your travels are extra busy or you’re squeezing in workouts in between pina coladas, Deep Relief roll-on will be your best friend. I keep it in my bag at all times when I need a refreshing pick-me-up. The mix of Peppermint and Wintergreen provide the cooling sensation that makes me feel ready to take on the day, anywhere in the world.

It can be rolled onto the back of your neck or behind the ears. A quick roll onto your temples or chest will also give you the recharge you’re looking for in the middle of all the fun you have on vacation!

YOUR FAVORITE ESSENTIAL OIL
At the end of the day, essential oils are a personal part of your life. You might find yourself drawn to a certain oil throughout different seasons of life and that means something! I’ve also heard if you don’t like the smell of an essential oil, you probably need it in your life more than you know. So when you’re packing up for your travels, don’t forget the one oil that you’re drawn to right now.

Lately, Valor has been giving me a daily positive boost. I love the way it smells and the good energy that follows. It’s a unique blend of Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, Camphor Wood, Geranium, and Frankincense and I’m obsessed with diffusing it or using my roller first thing in the morning.

VACATION SPECIFIC ESSENTIAL OILS
Whether you’re headed to the beach, renting a cabin in the mountains, or heading out on a walking tour in Europe, there are different essential oils for travel all over the world. Here are a few quick suggestions:
Beach Vacation: Bring along Frankincense as part of your skincare routine
Walking Tours/City Vacations: Soothe your sore muscles with PanAway.
Road Trip: Purification and/or Citrus Fresh to keep the car smelling fresh.
Woodsy Vacay: Bring TeaTree oil to help you enjoy the outdoors annoyance-free!

Why Would Anyone Want Essential Oils?

Why Would Anyone Want Essential Oils?

I had two questions before I hit the purchase button on my oils kit:

Why are they so expensive?

Are these going to work for me?

I found these answers after I purchased. And here’s what I found…
Young Living costs what they cost because they are THE BEST essential oils on the planet. Gary Young chose network marketing as the business model for Young Living so that someone would have to SHOW you what Lavender can do for you before they bought it (that’s why we like our oily classes).

He couldn’t bring himself to put his $23 bottle of Lavender EO next to the $6 bottle on the shelf and not having us know WHY. Young Living doesn’t craft its oils for profit but for purpose. And only the people that actually use them can testify. 

They aren’t filled with synthetics or cut to make more for profit. You are getting the actually life blood of the lavender plant in a Young Living Lavender essential oil. They have a Seed to Seal quality control plan that I’ve seen with my own eyes at their distillery. They spray other pure oils on their crops so as to not use pesticides. It’s amazing. And, like many others, if you tried store bought oils, and saw no results  it will lead you to my next question,
will Young Living oils work for me?

I kept thinking, how are these oils any different. How and why would Young Living essential oils work for me when the other kind didn’t? Again, this couldn’t have been answered before I got them. I know now through my research that our bodies react so perfectly and are supported so wonderfully by what is natural. That’s why it’s called natural. It comes easy. No hard work. But the first question kind of answers the second. Young Living’s work so beautifully because they are pure, so you’re basically getting the plant. And we know from science that plants carry medicinal properties. 

Why did I end up purchasing? Because I was a desperate mama. My family  needed something good for their bodies, which I instinctively knew was out there. I couldn’t get to the answer of my migraines or allergies and a host of other little, seemingly unimportant problems. So I dove. I thought, what do I have to lose? $160? That was nothing compared to the confusion and frustration I had been going through. I have tried everything else and my family's health depended on it. 

What’s funny is that months before, I had been given samples of Young Living from a distant friend. I “tried” them for my allergies and I didn’t see any changes. And by tried I mean I put some Lemon EO in my water and rubbed Peppermint on my chest. Loved how they smelled and tasted but didn’t clear up the allergies. Some people have seasonal issues and some have deep seated problems and the outcome are allergies. My eyes have been opened up to a world of knowledge about my body through Young Living and I’m forever grateful. I now use several methods including oils and Young Living’s oil infused supplements to support my sinuses. So let that be encouragement to others who have “tried oils” and they didn’t seem to work. You can’t eat some broccoli and expect to have a healthy outcome. You have to make it a lifestyle. 

Essential oils support EVERY system of your body! They support areas in which you deal with mental clarity, emotional balance, focus and hyperactivity, muscles, bones and joints, skin, gut health, sleep, pregnancy, aging, cell regeneration, eye health, everything! They have no side effects, and boost your mood. I’m going to say that’s a win win. We have tons of resources backed by ACTUAL SCIENCE, not just what the news puts out there, that support of all this. And we provide constant education from our other members. It truly is the best starting place for a better life in every area. I hope one day you’ll take that leap of faith, because I know with the right tools, you won’t be disappointed.

We are are family of four that live on a hobby farm with all kinds of barn yard critters in a rural Minnesota community.  Young Living has changed our life, given us hope, and empowered us to take charge of our health and our family's. Before I found Young Living, I knew that my lifestyle was unhealthy, but I didn’t care because I was very pessimistic about my future health. My future of wellness is within my control; there is no need to play the victim. God provided us with everything that we need on this earth to not only to survive, but to thrive.  I feel empowered as a mom to take better care of my family, and I love knowing I am giving them the best!  Young Living’s oils and products have offered support to mine and my family's  wellness I have not felt with other products. The oils are an easy and safe solution for my whole family’s needs. The oils smooth out our day, and my only regret is not finding them sooner.  With the help of Young Living, my family and I now reap the natural bounty that God has given to us!
