How are Essential Oils Made?
Attention do-it-yourself’ers! When you make things, are you hoping to save money and have a better product? (read: less chemicals) When I got into essential oils, it didn’t take me long to go down the “I wonder if I can do this at home” path. The short answer? “Yes, I could. But unless the zombie apocalypse has started, I won’t.” Want to know why? I can’t do it better than Young Living! While the overall process looks simple, it is actually SUPER complicated! At Young Living, their employees are trained on the distillation process for 6-7 YEARS before they are released to distill on their own!…

Essential Oils Cases: Ideas for Portability
This has probably happened to you too. I’ve been out and about and something happens. A bee sting, an ant bite, an upset tummy, or worse. And I need my oils right then! There are several different options for having your oils with you. While you’re still building up your stash, the 5/8 dram bottles can be helpful. You just add your oil of choice to each bottle. My challenge has been that they leak sometimes. This hasn’t been a widely-reported issue, so my guess is that it’s user-error. 🙂 Make sure and close your bottles well! I like this keychain case with the 5/8 dram bottles. Personally, I love…

Essential Oil Display and Storage Ideas
My kitchen counter was overflowing…with essential oils. So I started keeping some in the bathroom cupboard. But then I was forever going back and forth between the two places, looking for the oil I needed and forgetting where it was. For Christmas, my hubby got me the perfect gift for an essential oil aficionado like me: a display rack! I LOVE this rack because it a) looks pretty and b) holds all my oils!!! I can find an oil when I need it without searching all over the house! I am excited to share this pretty photo of my oil rack with you! Isn’t it pretty?? It’s actually a…

How Peppermint Essential Oil Saved Christmas
My Christmas Eve disaster was looming. I was curled up in bed with a cramping stomach as my companion. What to do, what to do? I mustered up the strength to twist off the cap on my bottle of peppermint oil. Not caring that it would sting a little if I used it straight, I rubbed a few drops on my agonized tummy. After a while, I crept to the bathroom, and sat on the oh-so-comfortable laminate floor, sniffing the bottle. Much to my relief, I started to feel… better. After another few minutes, I returned to bed, a drop of peppermint on my hand, I fell right asleep, and…

A Ounce of Prevention: My Daily Routine to Stay Healthy Using Essential Oils
I get asked a lot to share my daily “sickness prevention” strategies. Natural remedies are helpful to our bodies when we are sick, and they are powerful in helping us stay healthy in the first place! My routine is simple – or I couldn’t keep up with it! Every morning: * 2 oz or so of NingXia Red with 2 drops of Young Living Orange oil and a splash of elderberry mixed in. * I apply a couple drops of an oil blend like Thieves, Immupower, Exodus II, or Longevity to the soles of my feet. (The pores are really big on the bottom of your feet, so it’s a…

Young Living Convention Highlights 2014!
We escaped the summer heat to enjoy the amazing Utah weather for a week in June, and loved our time at the Young Living Essential Oils convention AND the lavender farm! In this photo, we are planting six month old baby lavender plants! (aka seedlings). The lavender plant will take two years to come to maturity. We acquired some serious appreciation for how much time and WORK it takes to produce the oil in one little bottle of lavender! Our farm visit included a visit to the distillery, where we got to experience first-hand the process of extracting the oil from the plant. I knew it was complicated…

Perfume Ingredients You Won’t Believe + A Better Way
I’m not a huge perfume girl, but I like to smell nice as much as the next person. I’ve found myself getting overwhelmed by perfume-y scents lately – in the grocery store, at church, even in meetings sometimes. So I decided to start looking into perfume ingredients, just out of curiosity. What I found absolutely repulsed me. Unbelievable perfume ingredient #1: Poop. That’s right, animal poop. Just what I always wanted to spray on myself. The World Society for the Protection of Animals reports that civet cat feces have been used by Chanel, Cartier, and Lancome in their products. Gag. Unbelievable perfume ingredient #2: Genital sac emissions from beavers, European…
