Do you feel like there is more you need to do in a day that you have the energy for? I definitely do sometimes!
••
I’m on my feet all day, in a stressful work environment. Then I commute for an hour home in crazy Chicago traffic, and feel like I could fall asleep right then and there sometimes. Does this sound familiar to you? Deep Relief helps me reach my goals and feel good and energized while doing it. I really, really love this oil, and it helps so many people!
••
Oils are tools, and agents of change. They’ll help you, if ya let em 😏! Anyone who’s exhausted at the end of the day or loves to work out NEEDS this one! ❤️✨

Are we all in agreement that bug spray is just about the most toxic thing ever? (PS - it’s literally documented to be heavily associated with damage to our nervous system! And serrrrious problems in children!) ! ... but... what if we tried something else?!
••
Citronella. It works. Add some peppermint for extra defense. Mix 20 drops in a spray bottle and throw in some witch hazel to help it assimilate. Apply a small amount every 60 minutes.
••
This would be a perfect ER add for spring time, along with the Lavender-Lemon-Peppermint ( ) trio for those pesty 🤧 symptoms if you’re running low. You can enjoy the outdoors without compromise or risk. 😏😏 👊🏽👊🏽

I just posted this in another group, and wanted to share the love! Does anyone else use a daily immune system roller?! You should be!
••
I know this is a typically winter-y topic, but I couldn’t help but share! Your immune system is what regulates your body’s response to foreign bacteria, and your body’s response to any irregular thing entering the body. Immune system DYSfunction can look like complexion issues, auto immune disorders, development of allergies, and basically every form of sickness and disease ever! As with everything in internal health, all of our systems are SO connected. A daily routine like this can be SO helpful and important for LONG-TERM wellness.
••
I work at a crazzzzyy school where sicknesses fly around like it’s nobody’s business! This helps me SO MUCH. I use it up and down my spine, daily! I reccomend this to evvvvverrrryone who uses oils, it’s such an easy make and you will definitely not regret using it! Now, and years down the road!
••
15 drops Frank
15 drops Thieves
15 drops Lemon
15 drops Oregano
+ top off with carrier oil!
••
I’m sure there’s tons of variations in this recipe. Anyone else use something similar, or have experiences to share?!

The average hand soap on Think Dirty rates in the “high/severe” range for carcinogenicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, and general toxicity. . “All Natural” on the label is essentially meaningless. That’s your (and your children’s) livelihood we’re talkin about. General toxicity = every health problem under the sun. Acne, hormone, thyroid, etc. , but it’s SO easy to switch!
••
Young Living’s hand soaps are a DREAM. I make my own, but if DIY isn’t for you they’re amazing! They last for. EVER. too.
••
But for all you “why the heck not”-ers, here’s my recipe! SO easy!
+ 1/2 cup Dr Bronners Soap
+ fill the rest of the bottle with water
+ add 10-20 drops of your essential oil of choice :) I use thieves for germ-killing! but Stress Away And Orange are other favs!
••
My hands come out CLEAN and so SOFT (way softer than with normal hand soaps!) and the best part is - no toxins to age your skin or damage your DNA :) and cheap as can be! ••

Oily PSAs :).
1. Did you know you can’t really buy oils from the store? Oils aren’t regulated by the FDA, and there’s a lot of nasty things in oils that aren’t made by dedicated companies with the necessary technology. Plus.. they won’t really work.
2. A quick smell test to check for synthetic oils is to see if your citrus, lavender, or peppermint smells sweet! If they do, throw that shizzzz in the trash can, stat. It ain’t gonna help you.
3. Over time, real deal essential oils literally show changes in cellular activity in HUGE ways. Life changing ways. Ask me and I’ll tell you what constituents to google so your mind can be blown.
4. Oils function similarly to adaptogenic compounds. They balance and heal, and leave everything that’s already healthy untouched. It’s TOO cool and will leave your jaw wide open as you learn more about it (and experience it).
5. Using oils for physical benefits, benefits your emotional and mental health. Using oils for mental and emotional health, benefits your physical health. Mind and body are so crazy connected and oils are a huge win for all of it. It’s beautiful and incredible and life changing.
6. The Starter Kit is not a scam to get you to spend more money. It’s legitimately the cheapest, smartest, and BEST way to get your oils. You actually do need it! Trust me!
7. I don’t even know how I did mental health/emotions/head tension/fatigue/long days without oils. They’re game changers.
••
I put my heart and soul into this account because of how important this information is, and how much I know it can literally change lives. You need the kit.
••
Thnx, y’all. Don’t buy your oils from the store. Give yourself the tools to grow and your body the chance to heal. Have fun n make hella new friends along the way. You are SO, so stinkin worth it, and you’ll kick yourself for not starting sooner! ✨

Complexion Serum. Ladies, you need to be using this! This is a kit DIY, and a skincare and maturing-skin game changer.
••
15 drops Frankinsence
15 drops Lavender
10 drops Lemon
10 drops Copaiba
+ top off with high quality jojoba oil.
••
Allllll off these oils come in the starter kit and this is the EASIEST make that you will LOVE! As you learn more about your skin, you can add what works for you! I now add Geranium to mine, because of its skin brightening properties. And I’ve been thinking about Carrot Seed for its potent Vitamin A content! A lot of my members like to add Patchouli to theirs, too, but I never have! You start with the above recipe, and add what you need (if you need to!).
••
Ive tried a few jojoba oils in pursuit of the perfect one, and I will say that you’ll need to purchase your jojoba on amazon. The brand I use is called Viva Essentials, but there’s lots! I didn’t receive any benefit from the jojoba oils I bought in stores, and even had some pore clogging. Ain’t about it. Quality is key!
••
I use a few drops after moisturizing every night, and every morning under my makeup. You’d think it makes your skin oily, but it doesn’t. What it does make your skin, is more radiant, moisturized, and soft. Literally no chemicals. Nada. Effective. Smells like a dream. I’m a life-er for this one.

Immune system support:
••
Ingredients:
10 drops Thieves
10 drops Lemon
10 drops Frankinsence
10 drops Oregano
••
Your immune system influences your: response to allergens, response to bacteria on the skin (complexion), and response to bacteria and viruses. Immune systems can and do breakdown, and the result is basically any and every disease / autoimmune disorder out there. We need a healthy immune system to live a healthy life.
••
The oils listed above support a healthy and optimally functioning immune system function. I apply this blend up and down my spine, every morning and every night.
••
My results: I will say, I spent the majority of my first semester working in the public schools with some sort of cold! Not only have I not gotten sick since using this blend, but I’ve also had to use seasonal meds FAR less this spring, and have had much less problems with my complexion. All of my students, and all of the people I spend time with, were sick this weekend! And I wasn’t. And for a girl who’s constantly got her fingers in her mouth (chronic slightly ashamed nail biter 😂), that’s a pretty big deal!
••
Takeaway: it works. Your immune system has to do a lot for you, and last you a long time. A failed immune system can lead to a common cold, or something far more serious. A failed immune system does not happen overnight though! And neither does a healthy one. You can use the kit oils to support your immune system and implement a daily routine right off the bat for LONG and short term benefits. My experience with this has been so positive, and the reviews in the thousands strong Young Living community are consistently raving about it too! And the best part is, is that it’s an easy make with allllllll oils in the BEST kit ever!
••
PS, people love using this on their kids, too, to help them avoid any ick that we alll know kids get into! Love this blend!

Let’s talk a little bit about essential oil quality. If you’re just getting into oils, this is a good read for you!
••
Essential oils are made through a comprehensive, extensive, and precise distillation process. Oils are more valuable when companies don’t cut corners, and when the integrity of the oil isn’t compromised for profits. Because the FDA doesn’t regulate oils, there’s actually almost nothing a company needs to prove before slapping a “100% pure” label on their oil. “pure” on the label, really means nothing here!
••
There are 4 grades of essential oils. Go to my story highlights where I walk you through grade A, B, C, and D oils to learn more about what to look for in a company. Oils are used to reduce chemical exposure and heal your body from the inside out. To do that, you need oils made with integrity (or else they won’t work!).
••
Once you know better, you cant go back. I would never put a drug store or grocery store oil on my skin. That should tell you something!
