Spring is Here!
Spring is finally here!!!
Can you tell I am just a wee bit excited for spring to finally be here? The gray days and bare trees have been bumming me out. I have definitely been turning to my oils for an uplifting emotional boost and some much needed energy. Joy is still an all time favorite oil to brighten my mood. I have also discovered a new favorite diffuser blend that combines Orange, Ylang-Ylang and Bergamot. I like it so much I have even tried it in my diffuser necklace. Right now anything citrus, light, a little floral are making me think spring!
Another sign that spring is upon us is the arrival of allergy season. Boo! No worries though. Your kit has all you need to breath freely and feel like yourself. Lemon, lavender and peppermint in your diffuser (2 drops each) or mixed in a roller bottle (recipe below) will take care of your seasonal sniffles. Here is the information on what each oil does for you during pollen-o-rama:
Peppermint – helps to improve breathing by opening sinuses and airways, fights infection, relieves pain of headache and muscular pain, and has anti-inflammatory properties. You can apply to temples for headache pain. Also apply to back of neck to relieve stress and tension.
Lemon – protects immunity, relieves respiratory issues. Excellent antibacterial agent, which makes it well suited for respiratory inflammation. Cleansing to the environment. Citrus oils can be photosensitive, so exercise caution with exposure to UV rays.
Lavender – anti-inflammatory, builds immunity, relieves headaches and eases muscle pain, it acts as a natural antihistamine. It has a very calming and relaxing, soothing aroma. Diffuse to help ease mental strain and relax before bedtime.
Copaiba - anti-inflammatory, helps with circulation, stiffness, and pain. It is especially helpful for sinus pain. Apply directly over sinus or headache areas. Add to diffuser with lemon, lavender, and peppermint to "boost" the effects of the oils.

This recipe is configured for an adult and a 10 ml bottle. Kit holders received 15 ml bottles from me. If you want to amp it up, add Copaiba to amplify the other oils. Any questions please contact me.

One Cleaner! Thieves is all that you need!
20 ways to clean with thieves household cleaner
Thieves Household Cleaner REALLY does clean everything and the kitchen sink. It can literally replace every cleaner in your home. I have made a bottle for each bathroom and the kitchen. I am recycling a lot of bottles and ditching the many other cleaners I had previously used. I love that the kids can safely help me clean!

Clean stovetops, ovens, microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, blenders, mixers, etc. To clean the interior of a microwave, fill a microwave safe container with 2 cups of water. Place in microwave and heat for 5-10 minutes. The steam will make it easy to clean up food and food particles.
