I do enjoy all things fall, do you? The crispness of the air, the snuggly sweaters, the colorful display of nature, and especially the warm aromas of baking. Yummm, can you smell your favorite fall scent now? I must admit, I was quite excited with the thought of writing a blog article about my favorite fall essential oil blends for your diffuser. Even though fall hasn’t arrived in full force yet, I was too excited to wait!

It’s been years since I have had a fragrant candle in my home. Yes, I was one who was a candle addict, I admit it. I would go to the mall with my coupon and get all the candles I could to “freshen” up my home. Little did I realize that most of those candles were full of toxic ingredients and synthetic fragrance that wreaked havoc on my endocrine system and in my lungs.

Thankfully, soy and beeswax candles are much cleaner burning and nontoxic, so I will occasionally burn one. But for the most part, I am addicted to my diffuser…or diffusers in plural. Yes, I have several in my home, including on my nightstand so I can drift away to sleep with ease.

The leaves are beginning to turn and the evenings will soon become cooler; it’s time to start enjoying these fall essential oil blends for your diffuser which are guaranteed to give your home a cozy and warm feeling.

There’s a lot of scary headlines in the news lately when it comes to illness! It’s perfectly normal to be worried about keeping yourself and your family healthy, it’s what us moms do, right? But if I’m being honest, I’m not really all that worried. I feel confident in the steps I’ve taken to support my family’s immune systems and you can too!.

We strive to eat right, exercise, and give our bodies good quality REAL food. I am sure you already know how important those things are! But we also support our immune systems by using powerful, all-natural Thieves products in our daily lives.

Thieves is a 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil blend developed exclusvely by Young Living. It’s a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils that just also happens to smell ah-mazing! It is best known for supporting the immune system.

This essential oil blend was tested at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, in 1998, and the scientific documentation was published with the most astounding results.

Thieves is a powerful; an incredible cleaner; and an environmentally friendly all-natural product everyone in the family can use. It’s so amazing, there are several products in the Thieves line—products that support wellness, to household cleaning, to dish soap, to laundry soap—and every single one of them is in my home!

Here is the truth…friends don’t let friends live without Thieves. That’s why, my dear friend, I am sharing a little tip with you…the BEST way to begin using Thieves is to grab the Thieves Premium Starter Kit.

You may have heard me talk before about ridding my home of toxic household cleaners and personal care products. This kit contains everything you need to ditch those harmful products.

Here is a video I did sharing with you all the products that come on your Thieves Premium Starter Kit.

It includes:

Thieves 15-ml Essential Oil Blend

There are so many uses for this incredible blend! I love to diffuse this one in my home with 7 drops Thieves and 3 drops Cinnamon Bark. Oooh la la…spicy! Perfect for clearing the air of impurities while giving your immune system a boost. A bit of Orange essential oils with it is super nice too! I also like to use this to refresh my sometimes musty beachy carpets by adding a few drops to a cup of baking soda; combine and let sit overnight to absorb oil; sprinkle over carpets and vacuum.

Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste

Containing the power of Thieves essential oil blend, AromaBright Toothpaste can help promote extra clean teeth and gums. Free from fluoride, synthetic dyes, and preservatives, Thieves AromaBright toothpaste is a great choice for the whole family for minty­ fresh flavor and long-­lasting breath. With the help of natural abrasives, this top-selling toothpaste gently removes stains while polishing and brightening the appearance of teeth for a sparkling smile.

Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash

Powered by Thieves essential oil blend for incredibly clean teeth and gums. Cool, invigorating taste featuring Peppermint and Spearmint essential oils for long-lasting fresh breath. Contains naturally derived ingredients that leave your whole mouth feeling fresh!

2 – Thieves Household Cleaner

This is an amazing non-toxic, all-purpose powerhouse cleaner! This all-plant-based cleaner is safe for everyone and almost everything in your house! Use it for degreasing, windows, floors, walls, fabrics, laundry, carpets, bathrooms…the list goes on and on! I am never without Thieves Household Cleaner!

2 – Thieves Foaming Hand Soap

I LOVE having Thieves Foaming Hand Soap at EVERY sink in my home. This plant-based soap cleanses, defends, and conditions the skin with therapeutic-grade, power-packed Thieves, Lemon, and Orange essential oils. With the addition of aloe, Ginkgo biloba, and Vitamin E, it’s so gentle on the skin it can be used often without drying or stripping the skin.

2 -Thieves Spray

This is basically a “portable” version of Thieves essential oil…making it easy to take it literally everywhere with you for support and cleaning whenever you need it! Think airplanes, shopping carts, restaurant tabletops, toilet seats, steering wheels…you can even clean your toothbrush with it!

3- Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier

Did you know common hand sanitizers have triclosan in them? Triclosan can cause hormone disruption, weaken your immune system, and build up resistance to antibiotics. Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier doesn’t have any of that yuckiness!  It’s packed with the power of Thieves essential oil which helps to build the immune system. It smells amazing and doesn’t dry out your hands. AND, it kills 99.99% of germs on contact!!!

Stress Away 5-ml Essential Oil Blend

I affectionately call this my “mom crack”! Stress Away is a blend used to combat normal stresses that creep into everyday life. I LOVE to pop a roller top on this one and carry it around everywhere I go. Then I can easily bust it out and roll it on my neck or wrists at a moment’s notice. Also, it smells like a tropical vacation!

AromaGlide Roller Fitment

This is a roller top you can add to your essential oil bottles. It makes applying oils so simple—even in hard to reach places like your back!

Thieves Mints

With a minty zing plus a spicy undertone, you’ll not only freshen your breath (sugar and artificial-sweeter FREE), but also support your immune system! I know I can’t find anything like that on the shelves in the grocery store!

2- NingXia Red 2-oz. samples

If you want to give your immune system a boost, you want NingXia Red. It’s an incredible antioxidant beverage infused with Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils. This delicious daily supplement contains juices and extracts from superfruits such as aronia, plum, blueberry, pomegranate, and—best of all—exotic NingXia wolfberries.

Essential Oil Magazine

I love this magazine! It’s jam-packed with all kinds of essential oil goodness for your home and you! This magazine is a keeper; you will refer to the recipes and tips over and over.

Four Powerful Essential Oils

Four powerful essential oils for depression

Are you aware how powerful essential oils are for our emotional wellbeing?  

As a mom who struggled with depression for over 16 years, I’ve learned a lot about how essential oils can be used to during my emotional ups and downs.  I have managed to live a healthy lifestyle free from the anti-depressant drugs which I was bound to for over 16 years, with amazing results.

Finding Hope

With the help of my doctors guidance and a weaning processes involving essential oils, self-care and healthy additions to my supplement routine and diet, I have been emotionally healthy and overjoyed.

I used a variety of essential oils over the years, but one of the most profound routines I have put into practice is one called, “The Great Day Protocol.”

The Great Day Protocol was first shared by D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living, at a class in Wyoming in 1994, and has been used by thousands of people, since then, to help them live happier lives.

Why does it work?

When you inhale essential oils, those molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, which is commonly referred to as the “emotional brain.”

The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance.  This relationship helps explain why smells often trigger emotions.  You know what I mean, right?  When you smell a certain scent, it can bring up a very specific memory.

Also, oils inhaled reach the brain within twenty seconds – that is profound and quick!

Inhalation and Topical Benefits

Layering and blending specific oils in distinct ways can help cultivate the right mindset and create an emotional balancing which will equip you for your day!

Oils applied topically on the skin reach the bloodstream in 20 minutes. So by combining inhalation and topical application you are truly making a big difference. When you rub your hands together with an oil you reach the reflexology points on the hands during the process, which leads to even greater results.

In addition to setting the tone for the day, those who have made the Great Day Protocol a daily ritual have said that they’ve noticed some of the following things:

  • More attention to details
  • Communication has become more solution-oriented with others
  • Increased enthusiasm
  • More follow-through with projects
  • Increased positivity
  • More open outlook
  • Better ability to handle stressful situations
  • Calmer demeanor

If you could have all that with NO adverse side affects – wouldn’t you take action?

Here’s a video sharing how to use the “Great Day Protocol” and how you can easily incorporate it own your life.

I want you to have easy access to this routine, so I have included a downloadable PDF with an easy, step by step guide for you as well.

Start each day with this self-care routine to feel balanced, intentional and emotionally stable. If you are missing an oil, use what you have.  These four powerful essential oils will change your life.

If you are ready to get started with your own set of essential oils, the time is now!  You can grab your own starter kit of 12 oils, a diffuser and other goodies for over 50% off retail.  I am here and ready to help walk you along with education and community.  Let’s do this friend!!

My FIVE Favorite Things Right Now

My Five Favorite things

I am super excited to hop in before the weekend to share my FIVE Favorite things (right now).   These are making my life a little more sweet these days!

Intermitten Fasting

I was inspired to check out Intermittent Fasting when a friend of mine jumped in.  Now hear me on this, I had heard of this before and had determined I could NEVER do black coffee.  I liked my coffee with almond milk just fine.  Over the years I have cut back from the terribly tasty, but incredibly bad for you “coffee-mate” creamers, to raw milk, then went to NutPods (French Vanilla is my favorite) and/or almond milk.

I also thought I could never go without eating for 17-20 hours a day.  But after her incredible testimony of reduced inflammation, weight loss, healing of diseases and dramatic energy increase, I decided to jump in.

I read, “Delay, Don’t Deny: Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle,” by Gin Stephens and was totally onboard.  She gave all the information in clear concise chapters, and linked to all the science stuff and studies to back up what she said.  

I just passed two months and I honestly have so much energy, have lost a few inches, and saved money in our family budget on food!!!!  I have found food more enjoyable and honestly, it has less control over me.  If you struggle with weight, disease or illness, I encourage you to read the book.  You also may want to join the incredible Facebook group to see amazing transformations from real people.   People have overcome arthritis, diabetes, thyroid issues, obesity and so much more.  And the best part…. it’s FREE!

I love this APP for helping keep track of my fasting hours too – LIFE Fasting APP.  I did a Facebook live on my two month journey with some tips here, and share why it is crazy amazing for those even not looking to lose weight.

Naturally Alkaline Spring Water

I know that my body needs water – every.single.day.  Even almost as important is the fast that the quality of the water you are consuming can truly impact you – most especially when you are doing things like fasting to help heal your body.

When I discovered FLOW alkaline spring water I was hooked.  This water is sourced from an artesian spring, which contains naturally occurring electrolytes and essential minerals – giving it an alkaline pH of 8.1.  FABULOUS!!!!   I love the taste and the added minerals help my body during the fasting state especially.

It is packaged in 100% recyclable Non-PET & BPA-Free packaging, which is music to my ears. I do not like to buy bottled water in plastic and will rarely do that, even when out.  I prefer to bring along my own water in my own glass water bottle.  But when I am traveling, it’s been so refreshing to have multiple containers of FLOW to help me stay hydrated all day long.

Try it yourself for 30% off when you use my sharing link here.  I love the ease of delivery to my door, but also have purchased from Whole Foods.

A Sweet Book for the Soul

I am a big reader for personal development, but there are times that I just need a good book for my soul.  I am almost finished with, “Nobody’s Cuter than You: A Memoir about the Beauty of Friendship” by Melanie Shankle and it’s been such a joy!!

If you’ve read any of Melanie’s other books, and girl… you need to because she is hilarious…… you know how enjoyable they are.  She has a way of drawing you right into her life and sharing the details in such a humorous way that you just want to laugh out-loud.  And, I did – often!!

Go grab it and check it out for a cozy fall read – just you, a book, cup of tea (I love this tea) and a blanket!

Pumpkin Spice Diffuser Blend

I use to be such a candle addict, until I learned all the dangers of burning them in my home!!  So, I have turned to my trusty diffusers in my house and since it’s September, I can diffuse all things FALL!!!

This is one of my favorite essential oil blends to diffuse, makes it smell all cozy and like my home is ready to bring in anyone.

If you haven’t made the switch to essential oils, I’d be honored to help you grab your very own starter kit.   It includes a fabulous diffuser, along with 12 essential oils and others goodies that will help you kick off the fall season armed for battle!

Dry Skin Brushing

As I am focusing on intermittent fasting, I want to also be sure that all the icky stuff is getting out of my body.  Hydration is key for sure in that process, but I’ve also added Dry Skin Brushing to my routine.

Why add this into my daily routine?  Dry Skin brushing is excellent for getting rid of dry, dead skin cells and helping the body with it’s circulation.  I love doing a routine of Dry Skin brushing with this all-natural  bristle body brush  or this firmer body brush each morning before I get in the shower.

Here is a great video that runs through the details.

There you have it, my Five Favorite Things Right Now that are bringing some sweetness to my daily life!

Cleaning with Thieves Household Cleaner

Thieves household cleaner

One of the number one things we ALL use for a clean home is household cleaner.

The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization focused on environment and public health, recently came out with their Cleaners Hall of Shame list. The list includes common products you use to clean your home every day. These products contain ingredients containing carcinogens, asthma instigators, and poisons, which mean some sparkly cleaners might come at a high price to your health.

Most Cleaners contain Endocrine Disruptors 

Many cleaners contain phthalates, which interfere with hormones and are known carcinogens.

And there have been very little resources devoted to evaluating the effects of these nasty toxins to the brain, nervous system, and other organs. Imagine what they might find when they do!

I know I don’t want that in my home, do you?

All Natural Cleaner Option

If you want to detoxify your home of chemical cleaners, toss those Hall of Shame products and replace them with just one cleaner—Thieves Household Cleaner by Young Living. It is an all-natural, all-purpose, nontoxic cleaner made with the powerful Thieves essential oil blend.

It does NOT contain those big bad phthalates.

Instead of phthalates, it contains two different sulfates that are derived from coconut oil and sugar. These all-natural and safe sulfates are considered surfactants, which contain a molecule that loves water and a molecule that hates water. That means the Thieves Household Cleaner sticks to the surface and grabs the oil and then washes away easily with water.

Considered an all-purpose cleaner, it can be used on many different surfaces: counters, bathrooms, floors, toys, clothes, carpet, mirrors, windows, and more. Spot check a small area before you use your Thieves cleaner on a new surface.

Cost Effective

This cleaner is also insanely cost-effective. It is highly concentrated, so you only need about a capful of this all-purpose cleaner in about one cup of water. With this ratio, one small bottle will yield you about twenty-nine 16-oz spray bottles of safe, all-purpose cleaner. That means it’s under $1 for one spray bottle. Can’t beat that price!

Time to ditch and switch all your household cleaners for the all-purpose Thieves Household Cleaner. Living above the wellness line and saving money at the same time—double bonus!

When I said “all-purpose” cleaner…I really meant ALL-PURPOSE! It can literally replace almost every harmful cleaning product in your home. Below are a dozen ways I can think of right off the top of my head how to use Thieves Household Cleaner in your home—YES, really…a dozen ways!!!!

Remember, Thieves Household Cleaner is highly concentrated, so use this handy ratio guide for diluting the cleaner (and to also save you money!).
