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…

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…

Breakthrough for Truth-in-labeling!
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court opened the door for peer-to-peer labeling accountability. As labeling laws struggle through congressional houses, good ole capitalism is taking the bull by the horns. Coca Cola has been marketing a drink called Minute Maid Pomegranate-Blueberry juice. With that name, you’d expect it to contain, well, lots of pomengrantes, right? Not a chance. The juice (can I call it juice?) is made of only .3% pomegranate juice. Yes, you read that correctly. .3%. The POM Wonderful folks, who sell actual pomegranante juice, can now take up their truth-in-labeling case with Coca Cola. To make matters worse, the drink blend has a scant .2%…

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…

Get a FREE Citrus Oil & Reference Guide When You Join Young Living (before 12/1)!
Young Living essential oils are amazing. Have you tried them yet? I was super skeptical at first and now I’m a believer. I think they are a MUST for every home. And, if you know me, you know I’m not normally that forthcoming with my opinion. We use these oils instead of over-the-counter meds, all the time. For allergies, colds, fevers, burns, and all sorts of other things. You can read some testimonies here. I’ll share one quickie: my neighbor had been trying to kick a sinus infection for almost 3 weeks. He thought the oils were rather hooky, but since he’d tried EVERYTHING else, why not try the oils?…

Are Your Adrenals Dragging?
Join us for a live stream, beginning tonight, Wed 10/9, at 8pm! Live Stream: Are Your Adrenals Dragging? I don’t know how many times I have asked my doctor, talked to a friend, read a book, or searched the internet for ways to help my adrenals. Our adrenals are small but busy glands producing hormones that regulate our body systems. Their most important role is helping us deal with stress. Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff says that, “The adrenal glands of a person who lives a stress-filled life are constantly secreting cortisol in an effort to deal with the stress.” This can wreak havoc on both our hormones and immune system. Adrenal…

Why Cleanse?
“True health is self-made”. Have you heard that before? Can we personally affect our health, or is a pill our only option for allergies or infertility? I’m going to challenge the status quo, and ask, “What if it’s not our only option after all?” Don’t get me wrong, doctors are an asset and the medical field is much needed. If you are in a car wreck, you need a hospital. If your little one breaks a bone, you need a doctor. And there are certainly medications out there that are absolutely necessary. Doctors are a blessing. And so are alternative options, whenever possible. What does Dr. Leanne Dearduff, author…
