NEW PRODUCTS WE’VE BEEN DREAMING OF ARE HERE!

Young Living’s Convention just ended, and it did not disappoint!!! I’m still in shock at how many amazing new products were launched this year and the fact that I was able to snag so many of them. We’re going to break them down below. We’ve divided them into categories to simplify things and can’t wait to hear what you’re most excited for in the comments!

SKINCARE & SAVVY MINERALS

There’s a new skincare system in town, and it’s going to have you BLOOMing with happiness! These products are luxurious and only use clean ingredients, including ethically sourced mica from France and the US, using only sustainable practices. BLOOM is for ALL skin types, especially for those looking to restore an even skin tone, brighten skin, and lessening dark spots. Heck yes! Sign me up! This will probably go out of stock super quick, so grab it asap if you’re wanting it!

In addition to Bloom, there’s also brand new Savvy Minerals LIQUID Foundation and Concealer!!! What we use on our skin is so important, and the new Savvy Minerals liquid foundation is not only safe and clean, but also amazing quality! vegan friendly/cruelty free. The foundation is lightweight & hydrating and glides on easily with a smooth finish; the concealer is creamy and lightweight, providing all day coverage without caking up. Use the photos below to help decide the shades that will work best with your skin.

SUPPLEMENTS & OTC

We’ve also got a couple of new supplements and a new over the counter cough suppressant!

First up is Super Vitamin D! Vitamin D plays a key function in respiratory health, helps boost healthy immune systems, supports mood, hormone regulation, bone growth, healthy muscles, and calcium balance. This dissolvable tablet is made with organic lemon balm extract and Vitamin D derived from sustainably grown lichen, Lime peel oil and Melissa plant oil. Super Vitamin D is highly absorbable, vegan friendly, and completely synthetic free; it contains no gluten, soy, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, or nut-containing ingredients.

Moms and dads, say hello to your new best friend! This is perfect for those days or nights when your kids are struggling to calm down! This safe and effective supplement is made for kids 4 and up and can also be used by adults. When there's a lot going on, it can be hard for bodies and minds to chill. That's what Unwind is here to help with. It helps with occasional sleeplessness, reduces restlessness and eases occasional irritability, and improves focus and mental clarity in home and classroom (or work if you're an adult)! We can thank the calming effects of L-theanine, 5-HTP, and Magnesium for these amazing effects.I grabbed a few packs!

This is the chest rub we've all been waiting for! No more need to make our own safe, toxin-free rub - now we can use Thieves Chest Rub without even getting it on our hands! It's safe to use on family members 2 and up. It’s 100% plant-based, and is formulated free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, preservatives, and GMO ingredients! It provides maximum-strength cough relief, acts as a cough suppressant, temporarily relieves stuffiness, cough, and congestion from minor throat and bronchial irritation, supports healthy breathing, provides aromatic vapors that soothe nasal passages, and helps relieve chest aches associated with colds.


ON-THE-GO COLLECTIONS

How adorable are these mini collections? They are absolutely perfect for on-the-go, and each one comes with a collection of everyday oils, a cute carrying case, and either an Aroma Ring or a reflexology ring. Grab one or all of them to keep to yourself or gift to others!


ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS

These two blends are extremely special. The One Heart blend was developed to celebrate the joy of creating unity and connection in our communities by opening our hearts to love and service for others as well as to create awareness for the work of The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation, which changes lives around the globe. The beautiful One Heart label was designed by Anita Perlaza, a graduate of the Young Living Academy in rural Ecuador who is now studying graphic design. She said that she was inspired to create the design because, “I think that if all people can join and collaborate, we can do great things together.” In the spirit of this uplifting, connecting blend, 35% of each wholesale purchase goes to the Foundation to empower, improve, inspire, and change the lives of those in need.

Gary’s Light was formulated to enlighten our minds to a greater awareness of truth and discernment, at a time when the world can certainly use a ray of inspiring light. The warm scents of Cinnamon and Cistus, the richness of Myrrh and Lemongrass, and the awakening notes of Frankincense, Dorado Azul, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Hyssop promote a healthy lifestyle and well-being.


LIMITED-TIME ONLY

There were also some extremely popular limited-time only items including two brand new artisan diffusers and Aroma Rings. Each cover of the diffusers is handcrafted blown glass, that is soft white, creating exquisite tones that will fit perfectly with any decor. Since the covers are glass blown, while they will have the same overall shape, no two diffusers will be exactly alike. How cool is it that each diffuser is unique?! The Aroma Rings are like a personal diffuser that you can place on your nose or ear! They were so popular that the AromaEase infused one sold out during Convention.

In addition to the Diffusers and Aroma Rings, there are also three oils that will be available for a limited time. Cassia is from the same plant family as cinnamon, but it has a slightly sweeter scent with higher levels of coumarin and trans-cinnamaldehyde. It will uplift and calm emotions in your home. Ecuadorian Oregano is grown at our Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador and is an herbaceous oil with a soft oregano aroma. It’s not actually oregano, but shares similar chemical profile. Ecuadorian Oregano is actually part of the mint family but does not contain menthol. Think of it as a gentle oregano. Last but not least is a member favorite, Breathe Again! We’re used to seeing this in a roller, but as a Convention special, it is being offered as a 15 mL oil, perfect for diffusing when you need to breathe easy!

TOP 6 INDOOR GAMES & TOYS

Social distancing. Shelter in place. Quarantine. Whatever you want to call it, most families have been spending a lot more time indoors with each other! In our house, two things have been keeping us sane. Games and toys that are fun for the whole family and oils! Check out some of our favorites below.

IMG_2424.jpeg

KNOLLYN’S TOP 3

The HOVER SOCCER BALL is great for some indoor fun when the kids need to work off some energy. This ball hovers over the floor and has a styrofoam cushion around it, so your don’t have to worry about anything getting broken!

CODENAMES: DISNEY EDITION is fun for our whole family. Our teams have been one parent & one kid, and the adults started with giving the clues so the kids could learn how to play. They caught on quick and give some pretty clever clues.

The ROLLER COASTER CHALLENGE has been hours of fun for the boys! It’s great for critical thinking, and they’ve done a great job teaming up to complete each roller coaster.


FINN’S TOP 3

COLOR BRAIN: DISNEY EDITION has been super fun. It’s simple, and we’ve all won a couple of games - I actually think the kids might be better than we are! They have such good memories, and it’s been fun talking about movies.

Finn just got this MAGNETIC DART BOARD for his birthday, and it’s been a hit! We still have to hang it on the wall, but the boys have had fun playing with it leaning on the ground for now. It’s also a great way for them to practice math.

FLASH is a quick-paced game that we’ve been loving! It’s simple enough for young kids to play, and fun enough to have the kids asking to play one more game!


Joy _Dealing with Emotions Square Classes.jpg

CYBER MONDAY SPECIALS

Now that we’ve gotten all of that out of the way… let’s talk about all the oilers are so excited for Cyber Monday!!! We’d love to hear what you’re most excited for in the comments!


THIEVES INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT & BUNDLE

CM 2019 WSE - THIEVES.jpg

THIEVES BUNDLE | Item No. 30990 | $142.80 | 142.8 PV
This bundle includes ALL of the individual items listed below! Let’s talk about why we’re so happy we’ve ditched the toxins and switched over to plant-based products! You’ll notice that Thieves products are very concentrated, so you can dilute many of them to get even more bang for your buck!

THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER | Item No. 3743D | $18 | 18 PV
You can literally use this Cleaner for EVERYTHING! Tables, counters, floors, appliances, cars, windows, mirrors - all. the. things! And you only need a capful per spray bottle, so it lasts a long time!

THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP | Item No. 5349D | $23.60 | 23.6 PV
We have been using this laundry soap for years since it came out and love it. We wear our clothes all day long, which means that whatever we wash them with is touching our skin (our largest organ) all day. What we’re not wearing hangs in our closets, which are sometimes very close to wear we sleep, which means we’re breathing in whatever toxins are in our laundry soap - unless we’re using Thieves, which is plant-based, effective, and safe! Search “laundry soap” in Dream Oilers Collective (our Member group) to check out our laundry soap hack, which extends the life of each bottle by 3!

THIEVES DISH SOAP | Item No. 5350D | $11.20 | 11.2 PV

THIEVES AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING POWDER | Item No. 5762D | $20.40 | 20.4 PV

What we wash our dishes with is just as important as what we wash our clothes with - we use them to eat after all! When you first try this soap, it will be a little different than the blue stuff you might be used to because it doesn’t foam very much. Don’t let that fool you though - it cleans just fine! If you prefer the foam, you can dilute it by half, add a tsp of baking soda, and top off with water! You just turned one bottle into two! We also add a pump to our bottle to make dishes even easier. Young Living also has a powder for the dishwasher that you can try - a little goes a LONG way!

THIEVES FOAMING HAND SOAP REFILL | Item No. 3594D | $31.60 | 31.6 PV

THIEVES FOAMING HAND SOAP | Item No. 3674D | $10.60 | 10.6 PV

Everyone is going to ask you where you got your soap from once they try your Thieves Foaming Hand Soap! It smells SO GOOD and keeps hands clean and hydrated. Plus, it doesn’t have any toxic ingredients which means no messing with your body! You’ll probably want to grab a couple extra refills! We use glass foaming hand soap pumps and fill 1/2 with Thieves foaming hand soap and 1/2 with water: grab yours HERE.

THIEVES FRUIT & VEGGIE SOAK | Item No. 5352D | $15.80 | 15.8 PV
This fruit & veggie soak is safe for cleaning any produce! Pour a capful in a bowl of water, add your fruit or veggies, let soak for a couple minutes, and rinse well! You can also make this a spray by filling a glass amber spray bottle like these 1/2 with Fruit & Veggie soak and 1/2 with water!

THIEVES FRESH ESSENCE MOUTHWASH | Item No. 3683D | $9 | 9 PV

THIEVES DENTAL FLOSS | Item No. 4463122D | $2.60 | 2.6 PV

Oral hygiene is super important, and Thieves Mouthwash and Dental Floss will keep your mouth clean with safe ingredients including Thieves essential oil blend!


CM 2019 WSE - NINGXIA.jpg

Now, let’s chat NingXia!!! NingXia Red is loaded with antioxidants and is super delicious!

NingXia Red includes the whole wolfberry as well as other berries with trace nutrients and minerals, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidant properties.

Our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals, which can cause damage to our cell membranes; adding 2 oz. of NingXia Red daily can help fight against these free radicals and support our body's wellness.

NingXia Red is enjoyable for the whole family! Take it in the morning for a nice boost of caffeine-free energy! The real question is... are you getting bottles or packets?

You can also grab Red Shot, which can only be ordered on special days like today - it’s not available regularly (and it tastes delicious in your NingXia shot)! Plus, the NingXia Organic Dried Wolfberries are also on sale. You can add them to tea, to baking recipes, or even to your smoothies!

Top 5 Sleep Solutions

LET’S BE REAL

sleep.jpg

Whether you’re a stay at home mama or a #bossbabe at the office, we all need our rest!

We know what we’re supposed to do, right? Have a normal sleep routine including a consistent bedtime and at least 8 hours of sleep each night. No phones, tablets, or screens of any kind within a couple hours of bedtime.

Let’s be real though - it can be TOUGH sticking to the things we know are best! Whether we just need an hour to ourselves to scroll social media or catch up on our favorite NOT kid-friendly show or to finish a project that we didn’t get all the way through at work, sleep schedules and no screens before bedtime aren’t always realistic for today’s modern woman.

Here are 5 things that you can easily work into your schedule that can help you to catch some Zs in today’s busy world.


SUPPLEMENTS

Immupro _Supplement Classes.jpg

Young Living has two supplements that we use occasionally for sleep: Sleep Essence and ImmuPro. Young Living takes great care in choosing the natural ingredients used in their supplements and these are both infused with essential oils, adding an extra layer of support for our bodies and minds.

SleepEssence and ImmuPro both contain melatonin, which helps to promote sleep. The big difference between SleepEssence and ImmuPro is that ImmuPro includes ingredients that also help to support the immune system. We don’t take these supplements every night - we take them when we’re traveling and need to get to bed early/want to overcome jet lag or if we have to wake up earlier for a special occasion since I’m a night owl!


RELAXING BATH SALTS

WSE_LavenderSpa-8.jpg

Sometimes, we just need to unwind after a long day. Try one of these relaxing bath salt recipes to make your worries melt away before bedtime. Mix ingredients and let bath salts sit for at least a couple of hours before using. You can also make a large batch and use over a week or month. Remember to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your bath.

Epsom Salt Base:

SWEET DREAMS ROLLER

SO May 2019_ Rollers.jpg

We absolutely love rollers in our family! They’re a great way to apply oils and take them on the go. We usually bring our diffuser with us when we travel, but if you don’t have your diffuser with you, a roller can be amazing for falling asleep.

Sweet Dreams Roller: Add 20 drops Lavender and 10 drops Cedarwood to a 10 mL roller bottle. Top off with your favorite carrier oil (we love Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex). Roll on the bottoms of your feet and over your inner wrists before laying down to go to bed. Simple, right?

Young Living also has some pre-made rollers that are amazing for sleep - including Tranquil, Valor, Stress Away, RutaVaLa, and Peace & Calming!


PEACEFUL DIFFUSER COMBOS

WSE_PSKVol2-6.jpg

Last but not least, let’s talk about our FAVORITE sleep support - diffusing our oils! Diffusing is what works best for our family for sleep; not only do we all sleep great, our rooms smell great and we all get the benefits of the oils we use!

Essential Oils + Combinations

  • Peace & Calming (we diffuse this in our kids’ room every single night)

  • Frankincense + Release (helps to let go of something you’re upset about that is making it hard to fall asleep)

  • Stress Away + Valor (if you’re facing something that requires courage, this can help you rest)

  • Peace & Calming + Lavender + Valor (ultimate relaxation)

Simple DIY Elderberry Syrup

public.jpeg

Everyone’s been talking about elderberry syrup, so I had to try it myself! It’s Back to School season, so the more wellness tools we have, the better. As a mama, I’ll take any immune support I can.

WHY ELDERBERRIES?

First off, I’m not a doctor. But, a quick internet search makes it easy to understand why so many people are raving about elderberries! Turns out elderberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that may help to strengthen your immune system, lower your blood sugar, promote healthy digestion, reduce wrinkles, and more. They contain vitamins A, B, and C and complex sugars that support and stimulate the immune system. They may also help to avoid minor illnesses and shorten the duration if you were to get one.

ELDERBERRY SYRUP

Buying quality elderberry syrup can add up quick, so I decided to try my hand at making my own with some friends. We had so much fun even though we had a couple mishaps! The good thing is that even if you make a mistake, you can still wind up with some delicious syrup.

It might be best known for its wellness benefits, but if you wanted to add the syrup to some sparkling water or to flavor your favorite drink, I would totally understand! When I got together with friends to make it, we also talked about how amazing it would taste drizzled over pancakes! I don’t think anyone would have an issue with adding some immune support to their pancakes, right?

FAQs

How do I use elderberry syrup?
Depending on where you look, you’ll find a variety of answers. The most common recommendation is for adults to have 1 Tbsp each day or every few days and hourly at the onset of something and for kids to have 1 tsp daily or every few days and hourly at the onset of something.

Can I eat raw elderberries?
Do not eat raw elderberries as they can be poisonous. The stems, leaves, and uncooked seeds are toxic and should NOT be eaten. Cooking the berries makes the seeds safe for consumption.

Is elderberry syrup safe for babies?
Since this recipe includes honey, it is not recommended for children younger than one.

How long does the syrup last?
It can last up to 6 months in the fridge, but ours will be gone before that!

Happy and Healthy Hair that Doesn't Break the Bank

Before beginning my essential oil journey, I never even thought about the ingredients that were in products like shampoo and conditioner. I assumed that if it was sold in the store, it was safe for our family. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Since learning how important it is to read labels, I’ve been shocked to see that even products that shout “clean” and “organic” on the front of their labels have ingredients listed on the back label that are anything but natural and safe. I’ve listed five ingredients to avoid (and why) in shampoo, conditioner, and other personal care products at the end of this post and encourage you to do your own research as well!

I’m grateful that Young Living makes personal care simple with products that are all-natural, plant-based, and safe for the whole family! In addition to 3 different shampoo and conditioner options that cover every hair type, there are also options specifically for babies (Seedlings Body Wash & Shampoo) and kids (KidScents Shampoo)!

I also love the Mirah Lustrous Hair Oil, which is a versatile multitasker that can be used as a styling aid or hair treatment. It helps with smoothing hair and taming flyaways and frizz!

YOUNG LIVING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER OPTIONS

Young Living products are very concentrated, so you may want to dilute your Young Living shampoo and conditioner. A little bit goes a very long way! You may also choose to dilute your shampoo and conditioner. Here is the recipe I follow for diluting the shampoo and conditioner options above. This will double your shampoo and conditioner.

  1. Remove half the shampoo and store for later (a mason jar is great for this).

  2. Add 1 tsp baking soda to shampoo only (optional; will add more bubbles/lather)

  3. Add warm/hot water (whatever you have works; we have hard water, so I used bottled water)

  4. Gently shake until all ingredients are fully mixed together.

My favorite shampoo to use myself is actually the KidScents shampoo! It works perfectly as is for my hair, so I don’t dilute it. If you’re wanting a calming scent for babies/kids, you will love the Seedlings Body Wash & Shampoo; the pump makes it super simple to use for bath time, and parents and babies/kids will love the tear-free formula!


FIVE INGREDIENTS TO AVOID IN PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

This is not an all-inclusive list of the ingredients you want to avoid in your personal care products, but rather a place to start!

1. Sulfates
You want to avoid sulfates because they may contain hormone-disrupting agents. The most common sulfate is SLS, which has been linked to organ toxicity, skin irritation and ecotoxicology (harm to the environment or a specific ecosystem). They are harsh on the hair and scalp, so they can strip away that natural moisture that keeps your hair shiny and soft.

2. Parabens
Parabens are xenoestrogens, which means that they have a similar composition to hormones found in the human body. Xenoestrogens may disrupt hormones and could even pose a cancer risk.

3. Fragrance
Fragrance can be tricky unless you know what to look for! The term “fragrance” allows manufacturers to opt out of including a list of the ingredients used to create that fragrance, as the term is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. So really, if “fragrance” is listed on an ingredient list, there’s no telling what’s in there. The term “fragrance” can include more than 3,000 harsh chemicals; I would much prefer to know exactly what is in the products I’m using.

4. Triclosan
Triclosan is often used as a preservative in personal care products; it is thought to be an endocrine disruptor and has been linked to immune system problems, weight loss, and uncontrolled cellular reproduction.

5. Polyethylene Glycol
Also known as PEG, polyethylene glycol may interfere with human development; it’s also known to be contaminated by cancer-causing dioxane.


Playing with Oils

We love games in our house. They’re fun and help to pass the time when it feels like the day is dragging on!

Finn getting ready for his move in Protect the Pridelands, which is one of our favorite “team” games. How cute are those tootsies?!

We also love oils. They help us to feel in control of our emotions, and when you’ve got two competitive little boys (almost 5 and almost 7 years old), they sure are useful when you’re playing a game!

Here are some of our favorite games and diffuser blends to go with them!

IMG_0572.jpeg
IMG_0577.jpeg

Busytown, Protect the Pridelands, and Eye Found It are some of our favorite games because you play them as a team! You work together to beat the game, so there’s no crying about who won and who lost #momwin.

We love to diffuse our “Skittles” diffuser combo when playing team games because it smells just like Skittles and has the added benefit of boosting our moods with all of these citrus oils! We do a drop of each oil in the diffuser (you can also add a drop of Lemon).

IMG_0569.jpeg
IMG_0579.jpeg

Snappy Dressers and Blink are two fast-paced games that keep our minds sharp! Each card has one thing in common with every other card, and it’s a race to see who can find it first and discard all of their cards. I always deal myself extra cards to try to keep it fair (and challenging for me).

Our favorite diffuser blend for these games is GeneYus and Citrus Fresh. GeneYus is formulated specifically for kids ages 2-12, and we love it for concentration. Citrus Fresh is one of our favorite oils to diffuse for creativity or thinking on the spot, and we love how the citrus balances the earthy scent of GeneYus. Try 2 drops of each in the diffuser!

IMG_0571.jpeg

IMG_0570.jpeg

These last four games can cause some tantrums, so we like to diffuse Thieves and Joy while playing them. We call Joy our “Tantrum Tamer” because no matter what mood the kids are in, when we diffuse Joy, they can’t help but smile. Joy if filled with floral notes, so we like to add Thieves for a spicy/citrus combination to the floral. Any time someone walks in our house and smells this combo, they always ask what it is because it smells so good! 3 drops Thieves: 1 drop Joy.

Guess Who is a classic, and the boys love it. Finn still gets confused sometimes about which people to put down based on his question, but we make it work. The boys’ Aunt Aimee got them Enchanted Forest this Christmas, and it’s become a favorite of theirs! It’s like a board game version of a treasure hunt that incorporates 12 different fairy tales. And you can’t have a game night without some Memory! We have about 15 different Memory games, and it’s safe to say that the kids beat me at all of them #mombrain! I especially love the Memory Match card game because you can use it to teach the kids about essential oils and since it’s a deck of cards, it’s great for on the go!

RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH WELLNESS

This year, I’m focusing on being intentional (new blog on that coming soon), so I was excited to see these oils and supplement as Young Living’s wellness freebies for January!

Screen Shot 2019-01-01 at 5.44.06 PM.png

AN AWESOME LINEUP FOR THE NEW YEAR

DIGIZE (100 PV ER) + LIFE 9 (190 PV)
We took our first family flight this Christmas to visit my sister and brother-in-law in California and visited Disney World and Universal Studios while there… which meant lots of food on the go, especially at the amusement parks. You could say our bellies weren’t too happy with our choices! My happy belly roller (see recipe below) was right up there with our Thieves Roller, Hand Purifier, and Spray as most used over the trip! Life 9 for free could not have been at a better time! Probiotics are great for keeping the gut at optimal performance, so this is one both my husband and I have started taking each night.

Happy Belly Roller Recipe
10 drops DiGize
+ 20 drops Peppermint
+ fractionated coconut oil (this one is my favorite)
in a 10 mL roller
Roll on belly as needed


CITRUS FRESH (190 PV ER)
When you live with a man and two little boys, you’ll take all the air purifying you can get! A 15 mL bottle of Citrus Fresh has about 300 drops of essential oil, which will last us a LONG time! We diffuse 1-3 drops at a time (in addition to clearing the air, it also brightens mood), and I also like to add it to my Deep Cleaning Thieves Cleaner recipe (see below) for degreasing and cleaning around the toilet.

Deep Cleaning Thieves Cleaner Recipe
2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner (learn more here)
10 drops Lemon
10 drops Citrus Fresh
water
in a 16 oz. spray bottle


LONGEVITY (250 PV)
With winter in full swing, daylight seems scarce and so do strong immune systems. Longevity includes powerhouse oils for the immune system and overall wellness. The oils in this blend rank among the most powerful known antioxidants. Antioxidants are elements that help to neutralize free radicals and lessen the day-to-day oxidative damage we’re all subject to. They’re thought to protect the skin by attaching themselves to free radicals, which minimizes the harm they do and is important for youthful-looking skin.


PANAWAY (300 PV)
Last but not least is one of my absolute favorite oils from the starter kit, PanAway! I’m going to be using this oil quite a bit this year since part of my being intentional is going to be focusing on Fitness. This is one of my favorite oils to apply to sore muscles after a workout. I also LOVE taking an Epsom salt bath infused with PanAway and Copaiba (see recipe below). If you have fitness goals, you will definitely want to make sure you have this oil in your workout bag!

Muscle Magic Epsom Salts
1/2 cup plain Epsom salt
1/8 cup baking soda
5 drops PanAway
2 drops Copaiba
Mix everything together in a mason jar and seal tightly at least overnight. Pour all contents into HOT bathwater then adjust temperature to your preference. Bathe for 20 minutes. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your bath to avoid becoming dehydrated. Your muscles will thank you!
