DIY Deodorant

DIY Deodorant
Did you know that our body is meant to sweat.  That's a huge way our body gets rid of the toxins we are exposed to daily.  Years ago, I changed from heavy duty antiperspirants, that rarely even worked, to a healthier, homemade version!  Antiperspirants contain aluminum, to stop the sweat,  which is a huge no no for our health.  Did you know that aluminum is a huge cause of breast cancer?  They don't advertise that well known fact.  What can you do instead?  

Say no to conventional deodorant and say hello to natural, effective homemade deodorant that really works. It's easy to make, last for months, and only takes minutes to make!

This is a recipe I have used for years and honestly, it's the best I've ever tried!  Discover the luxury of deodorant made from your own home. Coconut oil, essential oils , baking soda and corn starch are combined to create a healthy, all-natural alternative to store-bought deodorants. You can even choose the scent!

The recipe is as follows

5 TBSP cold pressed organic coconut oil
1/4 C Baking Soda
1/4 C Corn Starch (can sub arrow root)
20 drops Young Living Essential Oils of choice (I love to use stress away or lavender, but you can choose what you like)

Mix this all together and store in a glass jar.  This can also be put into an empty deodorant tube and kept in the fridge if you like that sort of thing.

If you need to order some oils for this recipe, I got you!


Happy healthy day to you! 
Casey

Fruit bowl made from frozen berries

I also love to add a non frozen banana for texture.  
I blend it together until it’s smooth and creamy!
Chop up an apple, tangerine, grapes, whatever fruit you have and put it on top!
I love to add granola and dried coconut and then drizzle with honey!

Young Living in the Kitchen

With Father’s Day around the corner, I thought it fitting to use your oils in a fun way this month and whip up a classic cocktail. If your guy doesn’t want the alcohol added, simply omit it and serve up a delicious MOCKtail instead. Have you ever tried your oils in a drink before? Make this recipe and snap a pic… share it online and tag me! I’d love to see you oiling!
 
 
Fun fact: Ginger Vitality supports the digestive and respiratory systems… and so much more! If you have a reference book, look it up. If you don’t have one, send me a message and I’ll hook you up!
 

 

Product Spotlight

Chances are you will be spending a lot of time outside this month and next - out in the garden, at the pool or the beach, baseball games, hiking, or just enjoying a walk through the neighborhood. Exposure to sunlight is good for the soul… and your health! When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it makes Vitamin D from cholesterol. This vitamin plays an important role in our immune system so it can be hugely beneficial. However, overexposure to the sun can lead to burned skin, wrinkles, eye injuries, and even skin cancer. So let’s protect that beautiful skin, shall we? 
Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is the perfect solution! It’s a natural, broad-spectrum sunscreen and is chemical-free, making it a healthy alternative for adults and kids. You don’t have to worry about toxic chemicals - like a LOT of the mainstream sunscreens contain. This dermatologist-reviewed product is formulated to easily smooth on skin without leaving white residue. Enjoy the outdoors worry-free with up to 80 minutes of water- and sweat-resistant lotion. It’s reef-safe and made with non-nano zinc oxide. This might just be the best sunscreen you’ve ever used!

Do you use perfume?

Do you use perfume?
Have you ditched the perfume yet???    

Did you know fragrance, the ingredient listed on labels, is toxic to our body and it’s in ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU BUY AT THE STORE!!  Even the “natural” products, that are so called "clean" contain Fragrance!

My journey down this new lifestyle of natural products began when I got diagnosed with a very scary, terminal condition, in my head 6 years ago.  WHOA!  Talk about a wake up call. That scared me, but I already knew enough about what their course of treatment would mean for my body and it would start a ticking clock.  As a mother of a 6 yr old son, I chose to not start that clock that their "treatment" would begin, but I chose an alternative method.  Find out why this happened and start living clean.   I started my journey into learning what could've cased this and I found soooooooo many things that were in my NORMAL everyday products and were extremely toxic, bioaccumulative and neurotoxins to top it off!  💥 WHATT!!!!  You mean to tell me all the products I've been using on my body, hair, plug ins, candles, perfumes, laundry, detergents and soaps, hair, makeup, pet products, baby products, feminine care products, yard products, EVERY DAMN THING I had in my home and cabinets was making my body sick, slowly, over time.   AND, I was starting the same toxic lifestyle with my innocent child.   I HAD TO MAKE A CHANGE!   That's when I was introduced to Young Living.  That's another story all together and here's a link to that testimony on my you tube --->.  My Story
Read the labels, educate yourself on what you’re using on you and your family. Even and especially those sweet babies.    These fragrance chemicals, not only are toxic, BUT, they accumulate in our cells causing DISEASE!   
Give your body a fighting chance against disease and start eliminating the things you use that have fragrance in them.     You can thank me later.  You’re welcome!

     Wait!!!  You must think I'm crazy to think you're gonna not smell good anymore. Or that you're giving up all the familiar scents you've come accustomed to having in your home, on your clothes, and in your bathroom, kitchen and cleaning products!    Nope.  
       I'm not asking you to give up ANYTHING!      I'm asking you to to just do the research yourself, then ask yourself if this is something you want in almost EVERY product you buy!
      There's TONS of articles on the toxic effects on our body.   Tons of science. Tons of proof fragrance is BAD news.    Here's just one article to start your journey into the wormhole.  

Oh, what the heck, here's another. 
From the US National Library of Medicine, for those people who like numbers and scientific studies:


With all this being said, you can see and maybe get a glimpse into why I am soo passionate about my lifestyle that includes Young Living at the heart of it.

If you're not with YL, now and want to re-begin your journey, you'll be pleasantly surprised starting next month!   Everything will be so much easier to get and get started with our new shopping platform and ways to be a customer or a brand partner!   Gone are the days of being a distributor if you are only interested in product usage.   Now, you decide if you want to use only, or use and build a business!     I am super excited to share this new platform with y'all when it releases, but for now you can go to Young Living and check out all the new products we have gotten since you've been away.  I'm always here to help guide and assist you getting yourself plugged back into a healthy home.  Are you ready?  I am! 

Let's do this!  You're worth the change!

Sending love and light to you!

Casey ❤️ ❤️

The end of the year is upon us!

The end of the year is upon us!
Hey there!

Thanksgiving has come and gone already, but seriously, YAY!   That means there's only one more month left of 2020.  Who agrees it's been a wild ride, but all in all it's been a year of so much change and growth.  Challenges included, this year has been a good one overall.  Having an attitude of gratitude in the midst of turmoil and challenges is where it's at. Gratitude is scientifically proven to make positive changes deep in your body, on a cellular level! WOW!(feel free to look that up).  It's easy to be grateful when everything is hunky dory, but when it really matters most is when life hits hard.  Trying to keep your focus on the things you have to be grateful for is a great way to start a lasting change.  One day at a time. We have one more month in the year to make it count.  Let's start a new habit, a month early from the traditional new year's resolutions. *insert giggle      I challenge you to think of 5 things you're grateful every morning before you open your eyes then again in the day and again in bed, before you fall asleep.    When you make gratitude a habit, it becomes a lifestyle, life is better, your perspective is better.     It's a good thing.   

On the topic of gratitude, I'm so grateful for Young Living. Such an amazing company that loves people and uses every opportunity to give back to the members, communities and the needs of others.  Our company is standing the test of time and has experienced almost supernatural growth over the last 5 yrs.   It's been so fast, our current website platform can't keep up.   As you might've heard, they are releasing a Brand New Website in December!  It will be done in stages but I can't wait for everyone to see and experience this new educational resource and shopping all in one.    *everything is being revamped and updated for efficiency and stability for growth in the future.   This is amazing news and I can hardly contain my excitement.  

I wanted to share some cozy diffuser recipes to give you some  fresh ideas.    I absolutely love, love, love that these plant oils not only smell amazing, but have the ability to support all of our body systems in different fashions.   It's all so amazing to me and I am a converted skeptic for sure!   Not sure how or what to do with them other than smell, start searching in our FB groups, and we also have so many other resources available.  The LSP Desk reference is one.   This is a resource I feel every home needs.   Full of detailed information on every single page.   I love it so much, I'm giving one away in December! That's right, I'm giving one away to one blessed tribe member!    To qualify, just place a 250 pv order from today until Dec 25!    That's it!  Easy right!   It's super easy to get your order there. Think of supplements, makeup, cleaning products, weight support, OILS(duh), GIFT sets for your friends!   You can also always gift someone a membership so they can get their own goodness delivered to their house.   What a gift!   Ask me or your enroller how, it's super easy!

I want to thank you again for your support of small business and your health!   It's a good thing.   I can never show enough gratitude for what I feel inside.   This set of oils I bought 5 years ago changed my life in a way I could never try to explain.  I am eternally grateful for each and everyone of you that I've met during this journey.   Thank you.  

God bless you and don't forget to get entered to win that Desk reference!  (explained earlier in this email)

Free Sweet Aroma Diffuser!

Hey there, I hope this new year is bringing a renewed sense of peace and prosperity to your lives.  I'm not one to make resolutions, but I do go in the new year with a clean slate. A do over.  A new reminder to keep the promises made to myself like the promises I make to others.  Also taking responsibility to share with others the transformation that our lives have had since taking the natural route in our home.   

If you don't already know, it's flu season.   This is a time where my family keeps above the wellness line by properly supporting our body with nutrition, oils and supplements.   One of my favorite supplements is Inner Defense.  It's full of things our body needs to support a healthy immune system all in an easy to take capsule. I take it at the first sign my body is feeling off, it works great.   Ningxia red and Master Formula vitamins are also on the daily routine here.    Using essential oils all day on my body, many times a day also boosts my body's ability to ward off the yukkies.   Don't forget to get enough rest and listen to your body.  Prevention is best.

This month I am super stoked and grateful for everyone on this journey of wellness alongside me.   Thank you.
