BACK TO SCHOOL
WITH ESSENTIAL OILS
OILS FOR KIDS - KIDSCENTS
Young Living has five KidScents oil blends that are specifically formulated for kids ages 2-12. They're pre-diluted, totally safe, and can be diffused or applied topically.
Since no dilution is necessary (although you can if you want), it takes all the guesswork out of it and makes these super simple to use! You can just slap on a roller fitment and apply. And even though they're made for kids, they work just as well for adults.
GeneYus • for focusing during homework, class, or a test
TummyGize • for any tummy trouble
SleepyIze • for sweet sleep
Owie • for owies and booboos
SniffleEase • for easing sniffles and coughs
MAMA NEEDS ENERGY
Let's be honest, at the beginning of the school year, we all need energy - moms, dads, and kids!
Lemon + Peppermint • one of my go-to combos for mornings when I'm dragging; throw a couple drops of each in the diffuser
En-R-Gee • designed specifically to invigorate you, keep you focused, and keep you trekking on even the longest days
Super B • YL supplement that is a high quality B complex tablet that helps boost energy naturally by replenishing your body's stores of all B vitamins
NingXia Red • has antioxidant benefits that outperform every other antioxidant supplement
NingXia Zyng • delicious carbonated drink that includes wolfberry puree, 35 mg of naturally-occurring caffeine from white tea leaf extract, and a hint of Lime and Black Pepper (can't taste it) essential oils
FOCUS, PLEASE
If you Google focus and essential oils, you'll find some studies on Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender that are pretty interesting! Since each person is different, you may want to play around with some different combos to see what's best for you.
Here is one of my favorite roller recipes:
10 drops each of Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender topped off with carrier oil in a 10 mL roller bottle; you can also add Citrus Fresh if you're not a fan of the scent to brighten it up
GeneYus • this is an absolute must have for kids who want a mind that is clear, determined, and focused; apply to brain stem
Brain Power • a blend of essential oils high in sesquiterpenes—like Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Blue Cypress, and Frankincense—to promote a sense of clarity and focus when used aromatically
Clarity • I love to diffuse this with Motivation when I need to get things done; it helps me to focus on my priorities and not get distracted
MindWise • a memory blend supplement that has ALCAR, GPC, and bio-identical CoQ10, ingredients that have been studied for their incredible beneficial health properties (Google them!) as well as generous amounts of vitamin D3; supports normal memory function and overall cognitive and cardiovascular health
Nitro • along with providing tons of energy, Nitro is great for helping you stay your sharpest through the workday
WELLNESS KEEPERS
Did you know that more than 90% of your immune system can be found in your gut? That's one reason why it's so important to take care of it!
MightyPro • a prebiotic + probiotic that supports gastrointestinal and immune health and maintains gut health in children, which keeps kids up and at 'em; kids love it because it's delicious
MightyVites • kids supplement that contains superfruits, plants and veggies that deliver the full-spectrum of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients for children's developing bodies
DiGize + Peppermint + Lemon Vitality • support the digestive system
Thieves + Frankincense Vitality • boost immunity and overall wellness
Raven + R.C. • best respiratory support on the planet
CLEAN CLEANING
It's important we keep toys and surfaces clean to help stop the spread of germs. With Young Living, it's simple to switch to "clean" cleaning products like Thieves Household Cleaner that will support your wellness lifestyle.
I never have to worry if the kids touch a freshly-sprayed counter top because I know this is a safe, natural cleaning product! The best part? It WORKS! Using a harmless, toxin-free cleaning product like this is a great way to get your kiddos involved in helping clean up, too.
One bottle will last you a very long time, and you can make tons of different combos with it based on what you need.
BATH TIME
Since our skin is our largest organ, it's extremely important to pay attention to what we put on it. We love these gentle, safe, and effective bath time products!
KidScents Bath Gel • a safe, gentle soap pH balanced for children's skin that cleanses and protects sensitive skin; formulated with MSM, aloe vera, antioxidants, Lemon, Cedarwood, & other essential oils
KidScents Shampoo • contains no synthetic perfumes, colors, or toxic ingredients; the natural components - aloe, MSM, Chamomile, Tangerine, and Lemon essential oils - effectively and gently cleanse without causing irritation
KidScents Lotion • contains safe, gentle ingredients to moisturize and soften sensitive skin; the premium blend of MSM, shea butter, aloe vera, and pure Cedarwood, Geranium, & other essential oils supports healthy-looking skin for children of all ages
BED TIME
Getting a good night's sleep is super important. It helps to reduce stress, can improve your memory, can lower your blood pressure, helps your body to fight infection, can help you to maintain your weight, puts you in a better mood, may reduce your chances of diabetes, helps keep your heart healthy, can dull pain, and can even make you smarter!
There are so many options when it comes to sleep, and you may need to try a few different things before landing on your perfect combo. Start out by diffusing or applying one oil at a time for a few days at a time. Once you notice something is working, you can try adding another oil to it.
Here are a few of our favorite sleep combos for the diffuser!
Lavender + Cedarwood
Peace & Calming + Gentle Baby
Frankincense + Release
SleepyIze
Young Living also has a couple of amazing natural supplements that include melatonin: SleepyIze and ImmuPro.
BIG EMOTIONS
Here's the deal: emotions are REAL. There is a WHOLE LOT going on in our kids' little minds. Let's face it - there's a whole lot going on in OUR minds and WE know how to communicate fully!
Play around to find the concoction that's best for you. We all respond differently to oils, so find what you and your kids love and roll with it!
ROLLER IDEAS

MAMA’S TOOLKIT
Accidents happen. There's an oil (lots of oils actually) for that. Here are two of our faves!
OUCHIE SPRAY
In a 2 oz. glass spray bottle, add 15 drops Tea Tree, 15 drops Lavender, and 10 drops Frankincense. Add 1 oz. of V-6 carrier oil, and shake well.
To use, spray the affected area after cleaning it well with soap and water. Lavender and Frankincense both have powerful healing properties when used on the skin, and Tea Tree is great for making sure things stay fresh and clean.
OWIE
Add a spray top to your bottle of Owie essential oil to make it simple to spray whenever you need it!
