I was secretly hoping that Young Living would come up with its own baby line and THEY DID last year –
The Seedling Line is the best. And with Anaya, we were so good to go. It is just amazing. If you have never tried it, please do… Their wipes, diaper rash cream are the best to name a couple.
You can read all about it here..
Perfect in time for our Ditch and Switch challenge.
Wool Dryer Balls : Keep ditching toxins in your home (DRYER SHEETS, get behind me) and switching to these wool dryer balls.
Too easy! Add 3-5 drops of your choice of oil to each dryer ball and freshen up that laundry. Purification is one of our fave oils to use on our balls to eliminate odors .
Also great: Tea Tree, Lemon, Lavender, really any smell you love. Know more, do better
I am doing a ‘Spring Cleaning’ Challenge or switch to safer product series for the next three months with my ‘oily group’. I thought of sharing that here as well.
I am on a mission to de-clutter my home. And, I have been going at it 1/4th corner at a time. So much more doable.
This also gave me the idea of doing the DITCH AND SWITCH SPRING CLEANING CHALLENGE. It can be overwhelming to think about changing household products in your home. This challenge ALLOWS you to do it bit by bit and save money in the process by being on Essential Rewards…..
You should all have gotten a letter by now regarding this…Please follow the instructions on how to qualify..( for my oily team)
This challenge should actually be called “Switch to Safer Challenge” as my friend Angela puts it. Because that is what this is – switching over to safer products.
Why is using ‘cleaner, safer’ household products important?
Did you know that the EPA reported that toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution!! So scary. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But knowledge is power and in this day and age we have loads of tools to help us recognize what is safe or toxic. You do not need to be a scientist and research every ingredient, just do some research. The Think Dirty app is useful. This app is perfect for busy people like us! It helps you to be aware of the ingredients in your everyday products, it breaks your ingredients down into 3 sections.
First: the top rated carcinogenic ingredients
Second: ingredients that negatively affect developmental & reproductive toxicity
Third: ingredients that cause allergies & auto-immune responses
And scores the product according to how toxic it is. 0-2 for neutral, 3-6 for half n’half and 7+ for dirty.
Over the course of these next three months, we will show you how easy it is to start replacing your household products with ‘cleaner’ ones from Young Living
This Ditch and Switch Extravaganza will leave your home TOXIN FREE ( deep sigh!!!……Is there anything better than that)
Tea Tree Essential Oil – It has so many amazing properties.
Every home needs Tea Tree for its cleansing properties…. I add it to my immune booster, my outdoor annoyance free spray in the summer.
I seriously can’t get enough of it !
There are all kinds of great cleaning DIYs you can do with this oil, so do a search on Pintrest for some amazing ideas…..
Also: do you use a neti pot? Breathing never felt so good with a tiny bit of Tea Tree in salt water nasal flushes.
It’s also great oil for all things skin – from blemish prone skin to a healthy scalp. When I do my hair massage the night before I wash it, I will make a blend with Rosemary, Lavender, Tea Tree, Frankincense, Copaiba, Patchouli – may be all, may be a combo of a few of these. It works really well.
Aromatically it cleanses the air and is super refreshing. Try this diffuser trio out : 4 drops Tea Tree, 4 drops Rosemary and 5 drops Lemon essential oils for a yummy smelling and purifying experience.
And you can get this for FREE with this month’s promo.
As long as I can remember, I have loved celebrating everyone’s birthdays.. However, the last few years my
own birthday has felt hard. Like the day comes and it reminds me of all the things that I have not accomplished or makes me fear that time is running out. At 42, I guess that is bound to happen. So, I have kind of dreaded it.
Anish really wanted to celebrate my

this year. I wanted to say ‘no’ but in lieu of setting a good example of loving oneself, I complied

It was hard to constantly remind myself of not giving into the funk over the weekend. What finally helped was a # gratitude meditation and taking time to pause and face my funk. Didn’t I tell you that I became a # therapist for a reason, seriously, my mind is one of my worst enemies. Also, there is something about getting away, being in nature and time with loving friends that feels like a remedy for everything.
And thanks everyone for the lovely wishes. I have felt so # loved .
What do you do to get out of funk?
