6 Fall Health Essentials

Adding these 6 fall health essentials will change your life.

We keep these in our home because they work.

Really well.

You can get them here (don’t forget to read here about Subscribe and Save first).

Keep reading below for recipes and easy ways to use each.

Tangerine

Tangerine’s high limonene content makes it a great immune support.

It helps keep an uplifted mood, which is nice as the days become shorter.

Ways to use it:

Diffuse (6 drops Tangerine, 4 drops Lemon, 1 drop Vanilla essential oils)
Put in capsule and take 3 times/day
Add it to your water
Create a sleep support roller (20 drops Patchouli, 15 drops Tangerine, and 10 drops Ylang Ylang)
Support a healthy weight with a drop of each oil in a capsule: Black Pepper, Citrus Fresh, Cinnamon Bark, EndoFlex, Lemon, Lime, Nutmeg, Orange, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Tangerine)
Create a manly mix for your diffuser (2 drops Tangerine, 1 drop Cinnamon Bark, and 1 drop Vetiver)

AminoWise

This is a great workout booster because it supports our muscles so well.

Our family uses it both for this as well as for when we’re under the weather.

It helps restore minerals lost when sick, so we add it to water and lemon as we fight anything icky.

I also love this for when I feel a headache coming on!

NingXia Red

I could go on and on about my favorite supplement, NingXia Red.

If you’d like to read more, read this article: NingXia Red: Antiaging Superfruit.

Clove

According to Life Science Publishing, Clove was, “reputed to be part of the Marseilles Vinegar AKA Four Thieves Vinegar that bandits who robbed the dead and dying used to protect themselves during the 15th century plague.”

How to Use Clove Essential Oil:

Keep bees at bay: 20 drops Clove, 10 drops Tea Tree, and 10 drops Citronella in a 15mL roller bottle + carrier of choice
Layer with the following oils (one drop each) when detoxing: Lemongrass, Helichrysum, Clove, and Patchouli. Rub in this order for 30 seconds each on the bottom of your feet and over the liver and kidney areas. Add 4 drops carrier oil.
Diffuse this “Pumpkin Pie” recipe: 3 drops Orange, 2 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Clove, 2 drops Nutmeg, and 1 drop Ginger
Support your respiratory system with this roller bottle: 20 drops Frankincense, 10 drops Ravinstara, 8 drops Clove, 6 drops Myrrh, and 3 drops Sage in a 15mL bottle with your choice carrier.

NingXia Nitro

Love me some NingXia Nitro!

Here’s what one little shot of it will do (Lifescience Publishing):

increase cognitive alertness
enhance mental fitness
promote energy
support overall performance
speeds up physical recovery
increases overall energy reserves
avoids typical caffeine crash

ImmuPower

According to Life Science Publishing, this oil blend, “Strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells.”

How to Use this powerful blend:

1 drop oil with 4 drops carrier applied around navel, chest, temples, wrists and on bottoms of feet.
Use with Raindrop Technique

This has a pretty strong smell, so if you’re using it in your prevention routine, I’d suggest bottoms of feet.

Your Wellness Routine

Do you think about wellness or illness?

Are you waiting to get sick and then take care of yourself?

Are eating well and exercising the only ways you prevent illness and promote wellness?

Have you created a wellness routine?

Practice Makes Healthy Homes

Make adding new wellness practices simple.

Add something new each month and pair it with what you’re already used to doing each day.

For example, I always get dressed for the day.

It makes sense that my wellness roller goes in my closet where I’ll remember to apply to my feet.

I have breakfast each morning.

Near the kitchen sink, I keep my morning wellness oils and vegetable capsules.

I open the curtains around the house each morning.

I take water infused with the oils of the day around with me, so I can fill my 12 hour diffuser as I open the house.

See?

Easier when you think about keeping it simple, isn’t it?

Have a happy and healthy fall!

Best Remedies for Sleep Issues

Oils for sleep is one of my favorite natural remedies.

Why are they so effective?

They address root causes instead of being bandaids.

In this article, I’ll share some of the common root causes of sleep issues.

I’ll also dig into what we can do to support healthy sleep and bodies for both adults and children.

*NOTE: Each 15mL bottle is 300 “doses” and each 5mL is 100. Try to find sleep support, especially one that won’t harm your body in the process for this kind of pricing!

Anxious and Depressed Feelings

Oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Lemon, and Valor support anxious feelings, a common root cause of sleep issues.

Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Valor, Citrus Fresh supports depressed feelings, as it’s another reason we find ourselves struggling to sleep.

If you’re thinking you’ll just run to the store and pick up some oils, here’s why that’s a super dangerous decision.

The best ways to tackle sleep issues at its root and some of the practices that can also improve your overall health.

Stress

I don’t know about you, but if I’m stressed, my mind is racing.

That leads to my eyes wide open for hours.

So, I like to add oils to my Subscribe and Save orders that can help with stress for many reasons, including sleep.

Some of my go-to essential oils for stress are Stress Away, Tranquil, Release, and RutaVaLa.

Hormones

Balancing hormones is so much more important than I realized.

Until I was in my 30s and feeling the insomnia that can come along with being an unbalanced mess.

Thank goodness for the ability to add in Progessence Plus, Dragon Time, a toxin-free life, and more (found here) that all have lead to my relief!

What Oil for Which Person

I’m so thankful we have so many options. Each person’s body responds best to a different oil or combo, so take your time to find what works best for each of you.

For Children

Our kids have been so blessed with the best essential oils for sleep.

It’s become such a part of our routine, they know exactly where to grab what they need and how to apply it.

Here are some of our favorite sleep tips for children:

A toxin-free home, good nutrition, and a routine bedtime are all key to good sleep.
SleepyIze from the KidScents Line is great to do a light nighttime massage.
A couple drops of Peace & Calming on a favorite stuffed animal they snuggle with at night, so they can breathe in the goodness as they unwind during storytime.
A drop or two of Lavender and Stress Away in a warm bath before bed is a great way to start calming down before bedtime.
Massaging your oil of choice like Tranquil on the soles of their feet will help them fall asleep as well.
Dream Catcher Blend: Helps to open the mind, enhancing dreams. Helps children sleep more soundly.
Unwind supplement: Created to help support a restful night’s sleep and focus the next day.

For Adults

A toxin-free home: Have you noticed a pattern? Your food and product choices change everything. Don’t be fooled by Greenwashing! It’s all you’ll find in the stores, unfortunately.
SleepEssence : contains melatonin and four powerful essential oils to help promote restful sleep and support the body’s natural sleep rhythm.
Stress Away: Put in a diffuser next to your bed.
RutaVala, Lavender: Rub on the bottoms of your feet right before bed, especially if you grind your teeth!

How to Get This Goodness in Your Life!

To avoid the “Bandaid Effect” where we throw an oil on just to get us down one time, I highly suggest reading this.

When you’re ready to see your options, you can walk through everything, step-by-step here.

If you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you!

I have such fun meeting you all and helping you through this new lifestyle!

5 Ways Young Living is a Less Expensive Lifestyle

There are 5 amazing ways that Young Living is a far less expensive lifestyle than the one you’ve been passed down from generations before.

1. Concentrated

First and foremost, it’s important that you understand the huge difference between YL and any other oil/lifestyle company. Read more about that here.

Now that you know why it can only be Young Living, here’s how it also benefits your wallet.

Most every single product is highly concentrated.

Just take a look at some comparisons:

2. No More Over-the-Counters

The toxicity of the fake, wannabe OTCs not only cost a ton more than Young Living.

They don’t even hold a candle to YL’s strength and effectiveness!

Comparison shop here:

These are five ways Young Living is a less expensive lifestyle than the toxic life the stores and other "safe" products offer.

3. Ditching Co-Pays + Prescriptions

Once we snagged our Essential Oils Reference Guide Desk Reference and applied its knowledge to our toxin-free life, things changed rapidly.

Where we had co-pays that were followed by prescriptions (costing even more while harming our bodies), we no longer need that route.

Are we thankful we can pop in and get a checkup? Sure!

Will we run into the hospital for a sling or cast if our kid breaks his arm? Obvioiusly.

But we’re no longer bound by the “must find out what my kid has” mentality.

We take care of things with our oily arsenal.

They’re gone faster.

They show up less.

We just feel…better.

How has this been the less expensive lifestyle all along?

Why didn’t someone tell us?

4. 25% Back + Free Shipping + Promos

This loyalty program of ours; she’s a keeper.

Can you imagine a rewards card at any store where you get $25 back on a $100 order?

Then at that $100 order getting free shipping?

And then knowing if you liked the group of free items that you could bump up your order to hit promo levels with things you need anyway?

Check out some basics on how our family saves so much on this less expensive lifestyle each year since we stopped going to the grocery and opted for the monthly Essential Rewards program with Young Living.

5. Referral Link

If you have a wholesale account with Young Living, you automatically get a referral link.

The same way I can refer someone to my apartment building and get cash or a discount on next month’s rent, I can give my link to someone wanting this lifestyle.

The only break in the link between the apartment analogy and YL is that with Young Living, I then get a kickback every time that person orders whereas I only benefit once from my apartment referral.

Read here how to get the most out of our referral program whether you’d like to earn casually or consistently.

By the Numbers

We added up how much we spent the first year we only bought Young Living.

Then we added how much we spent the year before with doc co-pays, running to the pharmacy, over-the-counters, and buying everything else we get from YL at the store.

How much did we save?

Over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

It’s $2,000 less to live a life that won’t harm my organs, immune system, or hormones?

OKAY!

*I did not count in any of the money I made from sharing the referral link. Simply comparing orders from YL with life before it.*

Why I Chose Young Living

Why I chose Young Living went like this.

As a slap to the face, a new and ugly truth stung me to the core.

I’d been greenwashed.

Hard.

I chose everything so carefully.

All the white, clean, fresh, natural bottles.

And they had all been big fat lies.

Mama on a Mission

There’s something you should know about me as we become friends here.

I’m not your average mama.

I, Andrea Dawn Marshall, am a childhood cancer warrior mother.

I’ve seen things no parent should ever see.

And I don’t play games when it comes to my kids’ health.

So you can imagine the anger that bubbled up inside when I began peeling back the onion of toxic junk in our home I had thought was so safe.

Even more so the war path I set out upon when I learned 90-95% of all cancers are toxin-caused.

And the all out battle plan I drew up when I learned my brand new baby’s cancer was one of the 95%.

Nine Months of Research

No one.

I couldn’t find anyone who wouldn’t spray their plant-based products with pesticides.

Who refused synthetics.

I stood alone in a store aisle with the weight of fighting off relapse with tears streaming down my face.

Then I remembered.

My friend used YL oils.

What if they were different than these other oils full of junk and pesticides?

With oil companies popping up like crazy and cheap oils lining grocery store shelves and social media posts, why Young Living?

About a Year Later

The friend who helped me get the best oils on the planet heard I’d walked away from teaching to come home to my boys.

She asked if I’d like to tell people about Young Living however I felt most comfortable.

I’d get a huge part of our home’s needs covered financially.

Cleaning, personal care, over-the-counters, natural remedies, makeup, kid care, and dog care.

All covered when I helped other families become healthy, too.

About a year-and-a-half later I was more than covering this part of our budget.

After taking away a large chunk of our financial stability, this felt amazing.

Even better, we were healthier and paying almost no co-pays anymore.

We saw other families changing and becoming healthier.

I fell in love with this company and their mission bigger than I ever thought possible.

Getting to a Farm

I couldn’t believe it!

I’d made it to the Mona farm in Utah.

I got to see the distillation, the growing, the baby plants, the fields.

And I can’t wait to see more all over the world!

This is me taking the picture and my friend, Laurie, who helped me get started is in the purple shirt.

That trip changed how I viewed not just YL but every company I shop with.

If they could create what they do without pesticides or synthetics or fragrance, so could everyone else.

They became my new standard.

I saw with my own two eyes, deep in the heart of those beautiful mountains, on a gorgeous day in Utah what I was sharing here on my blog and in person with the people I care about most.

And it felt good.

Nerd Alert: I Love the Distillation Process!

Laugh it up, friends.

I’m nerdy for distillation!

It is, in a word, fascinating!

I learned more about how our founder studied ancient distillation practices as I breathed in the lavender being distilled that day.

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but…

The whole farm smelled like Fruity Pebbles, and everyone was at max chill.

Lines like crazy. Hours of waiting. And yet…total…calm.

I was in awe of the huge drums, the oil I could smell and see being made, the steam coming up through the grates.

There were no words.

I just kept walking, eyes wide, taking in all of the careful process.

All too clear was the reason why I could never go back to the way I used to do life.

They’re the first company I’d ever seen actually care about my family’s health.

This was a big deal after all we’d been through.

Our Family’s Blessing

A Fresh Start

Wonder what it looks like to live this lifestyle?

Here’s a day in the life of an oily family for you to see if it would be a good fit for you!

Heard enough and ready to get started? This page can help you get rolling.

No matter where you are or what you need I’m here for you, friend.

I stand behind this company because they have helped us so so big.

Email me any time at andrea@gospalchapter.com. I’d love to get to know you and help your family feel as good as we do!

A Day in the Life of an Oily Family

How I wish I’d been taught to be an oily family when I was making my home from the start!

Now that I’ve got it, I love to share it with others.

In this article, I’m going to share with you what it’s really like to live this lifestyle.

Come on in!

Welcome to our home!

Wake Up!

Good morning!

To flush our bodies of toxins we’ll encounter out in the world, we use Lemon oil.

Lemon essential oil from Young Living doesn’t have the acidic wear and tear on your teeth that the flesh of a lemon would.

I don’t know about you, but we just don’t drink enough water if we aren’t super intentional about it.

So, we fill up our water bottles first thing (we’ve been loving these bottles!) and put a drop or two of Lemon oil in there to help boost our immune system and help us drink more water.

In the Kitchen

We start our morning in the kitchen cleaning up after breakfast.

What I love about Thieves Dish Soap is how concentrated it is. We get lots of bottles from one!

It also knocks out grease like an old pro.

With two boys and a dog, killing germs and cleaning dirty hands is important.

Being able to split this one soap into four is even better.

I just grabbed these foaming hand soap bottles from Amazon, poured a fourth of the concentrate in, and filled the rest with water.

Want to guess how many cleaners we had in our house before Young Living?

After clearing out the old and replacing the new I later found 14 bottles in the basement, so…

No telling what we were doing with all those cleaners!

Thieves Household Cleaner one does it all.

*NOTE: This is highly concentrated. There are 29 bottles of cleaner in one.

You can read more about it in 50 Top Ways to Use Thieves Household Cleaner.

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Diffusers

We need the house to smell nice, these homeschooled little nuggets need to focus, and mama needs some chill.

So, we diffuse…all day long!

We had lots to choose from, but Desert Mist is my fave because it’ll diffuse 12 hours.

I’ll put Purification blend in the boys rooms because boys stink and Purification fixes that.

I’ll add something cozy in my room like Orange and Idaho Grand Fir to boost immunity and purify the air, and then some GeneYus from the KidScents line in the homeschool room for the boys.

Isn’t the Desert Mist so pretty?!

Shower/Get Ready

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve got going on in the bathrooms fully transferred over to Young Living.

Zero synthetics. No pesticides. Absolutely no filler or fragrance!

How’s that for hormonal strength?!

This is for Mama, Daddy, and boys:

Deodorant
Bath/Shower Gel
Oral Care
Makeup & Remover
Shaving Oil
Haircare
Beard oil
Perfume
Hormone support
Skincare
Anti-aging
Maximum Strength Acne Treatment

It’s crazy to think about all of these in the toxic form that looked so harmless before going into our bloodstream.

It’s such a relief to know everything we’re using is truly safe.

Supplements

The drug mindset is to use a specific medicine or whatever it is forever (i.e. if I take a vitamin C tablet today, I’m locked in for life).

We’ve adopted the supplement mindset with Young Living.

We take what we need when our bodies need it, and don’t stress when we don’t.

That’s why we use our Subscribe and Save orders to add to our arsenal of health; now it’s there when we need it.

How do I know when to take them?

It tells me on the side of the bottle.

As I’m writing this it’s during the pandemic and it’s winter.

So we’re using Super Vitamin D and other immune boosters from Young Living right now!

Laundry

I’ve long given up on being on top of laundry, but I do feel great about what I use on our clothes!

First of all, Thieves Laundry Detergent dilutes out like crazy, which you can read about here.

That saves us lots each month!

Then, we use this laundry freshener or these safe fabric softeners to make life easy.

It’s crazy how our air quality changed when we got rid of old detergents and softeners!

Heading Out with the Family

I’ll pack Young Living Einkhorn granola, water bottles, Young Living sunscreen, Young Living bug spray, and Young Living after sun to make sure we’re ready to go.

Of course we’ve always got those must-haves with kids, like this first aid spray, Owie blend, and lots of bandaids because…kids.

This is just a small sampling of the over-the-counters Young Living provides to make our life easier.

We also really rely on the Full Spectrum CBD!

Dinner, Unwinding, and Bedtime

We’ve got our lineup of Vitality oils (those we can ingest) for cooking.

To unwind, the boys’ rooms will get their diffusers refilled with their nighttime oils.

What’s really cool is that since their rooms were diffusing immune boosting and air purifying oils all day, they’re settling down into a an amazing space for optimal sleep.

Of course I keep my standbys in the hall for anything night time can bring:

PanAway for when we’ve got growing pains
SleepyIze when it’s tough to fall asleep
Seedlings Linen Spray to prep pillows for easy rest
Thieves Chest Rub in case I hear the start of a cough in the night
Peace & Calming for night time wind down in their diffusers and backs of their necks.

Easy as Pie

Remember getting your first place?

Running out to grab all of your basics?

This time you get to do it right and save tons of money in the process.

We took advantage of the Subscribe and Save option to save a ton and budget best, and boy does it work! You can read all about it here.

If you’re ready to get rolling and can see this lifestyle fitting right into your very own, this is your next step!

If you need a one-on-one conversation, I’d absolutely love to hear from you! Let’s connect by emailing me at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

Top 10 Natural Living Must Haves

We've gathered up our most useful top ten natural living must haves so you can make your switch to safer living safe and simple.

What are the top 10 natural living must haves?

It seems like everyone is going toward safer ingredients, but which can you trust?

These ten definitely hit the mark.

1. Premium Starter Kit + Essential Rewards: Young Living

This is an obvious one. It’s how our family got started.

No one else offers both synthetic and pesticide-free living.

With over 600 lifestyle products, you’re getting way more than just essential oils.

Plus, Young Living is concentrated. It’s basically buying in bulk, but in small bottles.

Finally, Subscribe and Save makes this lifestyle even more financially freeing!

2. Lead-Free Glassware

Ditch those plastic storage bins faster than you ditched candles, y’all!

Petrochemicals leech into your food and harm your body.

It’s easier to find lead-free glassware than you think.

Find our favorite food storage here.

Get our favorite glasses here.

See our favorite dishes here.

Discover our favorite straws here.

Fall in love with our favorite mixing bowls here.

3. Toaster Oven

Kick the microwave to the curb and fast!

The toaster oven (like this one) takes a bit longer, but seems like it’s done in no time once it’s a part of your routine.

Who wants to destroy all the good nutrients in your food and harm your body with extra radiation when you could have leftovers that taste just like dinner last night?

Toaster oven bonus?

Cook, warm, toast…all in one!

4. Outlet Timer for WiFi Router

Adults and children alike are overexposed to radiation from phones, tablets, computers, and WiFi.

This simple timer will allow your family to have the WiFi shut off at a certain time before bed and will turn back on when you need it in the morning or afternoon.

We noticed a huge difference in how the entire family slept without WiFi on all night.

Home all day?

You can still turn it off and on as needed!

5. Blue Light Blockers

With all the time we spend looking at blue light, research is finding our eyes are deteriorating faster than any other generation before us.

Blue light blocking glasses like these for adults and these for kids are super helpful as well as Young Living’s IlluminEyes supplement and NingXia Red!

6. Glass Kettle

I love coffee and tea.

A glass kettle like this one keeps me from ever needing a harmful microwave to warm my water.

Even better, you can avoid drinking petrochemicals from heated plastic coffee makers with a Chemex coffee maker instead.

You can also have richer coffee with a Bur grinder, and avoid bleached coffee filters with this reusable filter.

7. Ceramic Neti Pot

I have a love-hate relationship with my Neti Pot, but I cannot deny the power in it!

I’m sure you’ve heard of some of the dangers of Neti Potting because of our water nowadays.

The glass kettle in number six is a sure way to make sure you have good, boiled water, but suggestion number eight will be even more important.

Just make sure you let it cool down for a long time before you use it!

8. Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration

Have you ever tested your water?

Like, really tested it?

I was shocked when we did our testing.

Our super high filtration system was not that helpful.

Drinking from filtered refrigerators was like drinking tap.

Drinking from the tap…well…not good, friends. Not good at all.

Ideally, a whole home reverse osmosis is best because of how much exposure we have with showering and hand washing.

If that’s out of your price range, a much more doable option is an under-the-sink reverse osmosis with these shower head attachments.

9. Clean Up Your Cleaners

It’s no surprise to learn that household cleaners are seriously dangerous.

Like, reports of holes burned in the esophagus, asthma, and lowered immune system bad.

Why not save yourself a ton of money and health issues?

The best way to do this is to get a refillable mop and the Thieves line.

The Thieves Household Cleaner on its own makes 29 spray bottles just from the one concentrated bottle.

This is the only cleaner in our home.

It kills 99.96% of germs.

Yes, you can use it on all surfaces.

And oh, yes. It smells like Christmas.

10. Clean Your Air

Diffusers are everywhere, but why is using them alongside the only safe essential oils so important?

Every hour a candle burned = one cigarette smoked to your lungs
Essential oils are only required to have 5% oil in the bottle
Young Living is the ONLY company not spraying their plants with pesticides (think Round-Up in your veins within 26 seconds of touching your skin)

If you choose Young Living to make your house smell like home, you’re not only ditching seriously harmful fragrances.

With Young Living in your diffuser of choice, you’re also building your immune system, supporting your mood, memory, bones, cardiovascular health, and more!

Final Thoughts

A safe lifestyle takes a little time to step into, but it’s the best thing you can do for both you and for four generations beyond your own.

You have to protect your family, and thanks to this list, you’ve got a great start.

I Have my Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you've been thinking to yourself, "I have my starter kit, now what?" after getting your start with Young Living, here's the next step.

I Have My Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you’re thinking to yourself, “I have my Young Living Starter Kit, so now what?” you’re in the right place!

A few easy steps to success are up ahead!

Step 1: Get Connected

The way Young Living works is by word of mouth.

Some of us love this way of life so much that we tell everyone we know and help you all along for the ride.

Get connected with what we call your “upline leader” and go to classes both online and in person.

Scroll through their Facebook group to learn something new to apply each day (or week-go at your pace!) that’s easy to add to your life.

If you don’t know who your upline is or where their education group is, ask the person who helped you get started.

Get a Reference Guide

I gift the Essential Oils Reference Guide app to each person who gets their kit because it makes life so simple!

Look up what your new oils can do.

Find what oils you need for a certain issue.

I love how empowering this app is for all new oilers!

Just Use Them!

Put them on.

You won’t do it wrong.

I promise.

Diffuse them.

Use three or four drops in the diffuser.

Use them, and then use them some more.

Consistency creates a new habit and a healthy home in this case!

Plan Ahead

Subscribe and Save is one of the best things our family did.

We save much more with the Young Living lifestyle compared to shopping in store, it’s unreal.

So, use posts like this, your reference guide, or an iTovi scanner to create a list of needs in your home.

Ditch-n-Switch

You get SO MUCH MORE than just a few natural remedies!

We ditch the bandaid mentality and switch to a wellness and proactive way of thinking!

Let me just save you lots of time here.

Everything in your house that isn’t Young Living isn’t safe at its core.

How do I know?

Because everyone but Young Living puts one or both of the following in their products:

pesticides (they spray their plant material)
synthetics (your body is real and doesn’t handle these well)

Go around the house. Create a list of all the products in your home. Seek out the Young Living product that will let you get rid of it for good.

Or, if you’re in my wonderful tribe of oilers, you can use our cheat sheet in our Facebook group !

Final Thoughts

This lifestyle should be simpler and less expensive.

If you aren’t finding this to be true, talk to your upline about diluting (our products are highly concentrated and like buying in bulk), Essential Rewards, and even a DIY here and there.

This is a hugely rewarding lifestyle that comes with a little learning curve, but one that is simple to navigate if you’ve got a great group to learn alongside!

Need a Tribe?

We’d love to have you!

Get started here.

We’ll take you under our wing and help you learn the ropes!

Get Essential Oils + a Toxin-Free Lifestyle Here

Click HERE for a simple walk through on how to buy the safest essential oils and start a toxin-free lifestyle with Young Living.

Why Young Living Only?

Zero pesticides
Single distillation
Soil hasn’t been touched by pesticides in 50+ years
You can go to any farm in the world to see for yourself
Zero synthetics
Zero fragrance
ONLY essential oil
BECAUSE YOU ARE READY TO TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH!

5% Rule

There’s a rule that says companies only have to make sure 5% of the oil in their bottles is actual essential oil to be considered “pure and therapeutic.”

Organic oils can even have synthetics and fragrance added to them under this rule, and do.

Young Living oils are the ONLY oils who never adulterate* their oils and have 100% never changed essential oil.

*I consider spraying plants with any pesticide as adulterating the oil.

Why Care About Pesticides?

Anything you put on your skin is in your bloodstream in 26 seconds.

Choosing an essential oil company outside of Young Living ensures you’ll have those pesticides coursing through your veins as well.

Why spend your money on a temporary fix that makes a long-term problem?

What About Organic Pesticides?

When I say ZERO pesticides, I mean ZERO.

Not even organic pesticides.

Young Living is hand-weeded (or sheep-weeded in some cases like the France Lavender farm!) and this is their above-and-beyond calling they call Seed-to-Seal.

Are They Expensive?

The amazing part about Young Living is the concentration of the oils and over 600+ lifestyle products.

For example, the household cleaner makes 29 spray bottles.

One 15mL bottle of oil has around 300 drops in it.

When you buy a Young Living lifestyle item, you’re adding immense value to your home and saving a ton!

How Do I Know Which Oils I Need?

Most people start with the Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 12 oils, a diffuser, and some samples of other lifestyle products at around half the cost as a bundle/kit.

These 12 oils are called our “Everyday Oils,” and the kit itself comes with a 24% discount on all products for life.

From there, the iTovi scanner {click HERE} and Essential Oils Reference Guide {click HERE) are two must-haves for taking on your new life of proactive living.

How Often Do I Have to Order?

That’s up to you.

Our family can’t possibly pass up the thousands of dollars we save every year with the loyalty program called Essential Rewards (read about it HERE).

You can order once in your whole life and never again, you can order with Essential Rewards, or anywhere in-between.

Do I Have to Sell this Stuff?

Nope.

I personally tell everyone I know (including you!) because it feels like a deep down serious moral obligation to let people know there’s a safe way to live with all the disease in this world. You can be a part of one of the greatest changes in someone’s life, and that’s big.

You decide how and when you share, AND if you do, Young Living will send you a thank you check. No strings. No immediate business you’re roped into. Simply a, “Hey, you helped save a family. Thanks!” bonus check!

Safest Baby Powder

Had I known how easy and cheap making my own safest baby powder was, I would’ve started this a long time ago!

Currently our choices are doom and gloom or pay through the nose for a few ounces of the stuff.

I call shenanigans!

At first I didn’t though. I wondered, if it’s so cheap to make, then why is all the “good stuff” at the store so expensive?

There’s no better way than trying it myself. I found no good reason other than greed to mark organic baby powder as high as it is.

It’s so easy, cheap, and good to DIY that it’s one of my new favorites!

(First and foremost, if you want to superpower the following DIY, you’ll need your toxin-free kit. Do you have yours? It comes with a 24% discount on all toxin-free non GMO products! If not, click here: Young Living Starter Kit )

Why use baby powder with no babies in the house?

1.) Big boy stinky shoes (of which range in age from our youngest at 4 to my husband at 34!)

2.) Moisture absorber with my DIY deodorant

3.) Soft skin after shaving

4.) Dry shampoo

5.) Removes sand at the beach

6.) Keeps ants away

7.) Eyelash plumper

8.) Pet shampoo

9.) Removes grease stains

10.) Untangles necklaces

11.) Makes rubber gloves easier to get on/off

12.) Makes pumpkin carving easier (see the punched holes better!)

13.) Knocking hair off the boys’ shoulders after Momma cuts their hair

14.) Keeps sheets cool on hot nights

15.) Keeps playing cards from sticking together

16.) Takes squeaks out of hardwoods

17.) Sets makeup

18.) Keeps rabbits out of the garden

19.) Keeps pests out of garbage (they don’t like the feel of it on their paws)

20.) Protects hands from blisters and gets a better grip on gardening sheers

Option 1: Buy cheap.

*lung damage

*shortness of breath

*wheezing

*obstruction of airways

*Pneumonia

*Asthma

*cancer

*death

SERIOUSLY? If we’re on a budget these are our options!?

Option 2: Pay up, Buttercup

The powder scoring a “2” is $17.28 for 2.5 ounces. TWO and a HALF OUNCES!? WHAAA?!

Option 3: Mix together the following recipe

*Non-toxic, real ingredients for a fraction of the cost? SOLD!

1/4 C Bentonite Clay Powder
1 TBS Organic Arrowroot Powder

10 drops Young Living Lavender Essential Oil (or your favorite scent/benefit!)
Mix together and store in a glass jar and enjoy!

Benefits from using Option 3:

*Non-toxic

*Cost effective

*Simple to make

*Softer than other baby powders I have used

*Benefits of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

With so many benefits and uses, it looks like our DIY baby powder is a keeper!

My hope is that it will serve you as well as it does our family!

Enjoy!

Andrea 🙂
