It is so important to go PLANT BASED and get the chemicals out of your home.

I don’t know what I did to my wrist but after days of working outside with enormous gardening scissors (not sure what they’re called lol) I felt something pull in my wrist and the next day this showed up! Guess I bruised a muscle I never knew I had. I can’t tell you how many times I grab for oils in a day.

I love that the kids run to them as well. Yesterday the girls told me that they think an ant bit Josie but they put Lavender on it so it’s okay now. 💗 Pretty amazing the tools we have. I just leave a lavender bottle at the back door now for easy grabbing!

What have you healed with oils lately?

Chapstick is something I think everyone uses .... but what many don’t know is how toxic they can be ....

Toxins found in chapstick 👄💄
1. 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗺 aka petroleum, yep that stuff you put in your car!

2. 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 (𝐁𝐇𝐀) & 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐞 (𝐁𝐇𝐓), health concerns linked to these chemicals include endocrine disruption, organ-system toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, cancer and respiratory irritation.

3. 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐬 which are potential endocrine disruptors due to their ability to mimic estrogen.

4. 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 aka hidden chemicals. cosmetic manufacturers can withhold the actual ingredients used in their fragrances in order to “protect their trade secrets”. fragrances often contain high levels of phthalates which are strong hormone disruptors linked to decreased s***m count in men & reduced female fertility. They also cause a worsening of allergy & asthma symptoms.

Um yuck, no thanks!! Thankfully with Young Living we don’t have to worry about those 🤗 ours are infused with essential oils & natural ingredients to keep your lips nice and hydrated ✨

What’s your favourite? I can’t decide 🤪

Update on our OILS, SEEDS & NASA by Dr Michael Buch:

“Hi everyone,
As most of you know, through a collaboration with NASA and SpaceX, we were able to send some samples of oils and seeds into space to examine the potential effects of radiation. Our samples were on board the International Space Station for a period of one month and then returned to earth for us to analyze. We were interested in radiation effects to gain a better understanding of how oils and seeds may be changed when grown at different altitudes (and therefore different radiation levels) here on earth.

We sent samples of Sacred Frankincense, Sacred Sandalwood, Lemon, and Peppermint essential oils into space as well as seeds from Lavender and Golden Rod.

We completed the testing on the oils soon after they returned from space, but seed testing took quite a bit longer. We determined that the best way to test radiation effects on the seeds was to cultivate them in our research greenhouse and then test the plants they produced and compare them to plants grown from the same set of seeds that we kept here on earth as controls. This allowed us to inspect the plants physically, genetically test the plants, and distill oils from the plants and compare them to our standards.

Because we had to wait for the plants to mature, this took quite a long time. But we now have nearly all the results, and we have good news!

We have found no changes in the oils or the plants when exposed to radiation. This means that we should have no worries about variations caused by differing radiation doses on plants raised on farms at different altitudes around the world. And we now have evidence that essential oils are quite stable to radiation here on earth (so no worries about carrying them through airport scanners, for example).

We are still awaiting the results of genetic testing on the plants, so if anything changes I’ll let you know.

I’ve included a few photos of our samples being prepared to go into space, the samples “going for a spin” on the international space station, and one of the golden rod plants raised from the seeds that spent a month in space (if you’re familiar with golden rod, you’ll agree that this plant looks very typical).

I’m proud that we are the first essential oil company to partner with NASA and the International Space Station, and I hope you’ve enjoyed this little “space adventure” as much as we have.

May the force be with you!”

Have you been curious about what oils would be best to use with your crystals or how to use them together? This is for you!

Bahahahhaha!

A must-read about Vanilla!!!
- Thank you Amanda Uribe & Jackie Wiley for sharing!

VANILLA OIL vs VANILLA EXTRACTS

Have you received your Vanilla E/O?
I have, and I'm super excited because we've been asking Young Living for this one for about a decade! If you're thinking you know what this is... you probably don't!
Hint: It is NOT Vanilla extract in any way, shape, or form!

It's a common misconception that vanilla extract and vanilla oil are the same, but not true!

As a matter of fact, most vanilla essential oil on the market isn't even vanilla essential oil. The commercial standard is to use chemical solvents to extract the essential oil. Those solvents are not only hazardous and impossible to fully remove, but also create an "absolute" versus an essential oil.

Conversely, Vanilla extract is made from soaking the beans in an alcohol.

**********************

Young Living's essential oil is made from vanilla planifolia -- an orchid that grows long vanilla bean pods in the northwestern region of Madagascar. The entire process takes about about five years or so!

First, the vine has to mature and produce blossoms -- which takes about four years!
The fifth year, blossoms come in abundance, but only last 24 hours and must be pollinated by hand within the day for the bean pod to grow.

The D. Gary Young Research Institute (one of the largest essential oil research facilities in the world!) took the world's very best vanilla and spent a year researching how to extract it into a pure essential oil.

This first-of-its-kind extraction method takes the vanilla and uses ethyl alcohol from French sugar beets to remove the oleoresin!

Paired with fractionated coconut oil, this essential oil is super unique, one of its kind, and unmatched in quality and purity!

*********************

So keep your Vanilla extract to flavor your tea, baked goods, anything you want to taste like vanilla.

But, use your Vanilla E/O when you want your home to smell like vanilla or to wear on your skin in homemade perfumes and roller blends!

What magic could happen if you did something consistently?

Maybe drink a glass of water every waking hour for 2 weeks, maybe walk every day for 21 days, maybe drop one small drop of BELIEVE on your palm every morning. Taking time to then cup your palms around your nose and BREATHE deep for at least 60 seconds. I like to then rub my hands through my hair so everyone around me throughout the day gets to experience Believe.

This bottle has approx 220 drops of pure, unadulterated plant magic. One drop, 7 months. Transformation.

What could happen for you if you truly BELIEVED? Do you use this blend? xo

Hugging for just 20 seconds a day could help to reduce stress and avoid burnout. Hugging disrupts our “stress cycle”, taking us out of “full action mode” and providing a moment of pause and calm.

According to the book, Burnout: 'The Secret to Solving the Stress Cycle' - a simple 20 second gesture every day can do wonders for reducing your stress levels - hugging someone.

The science is simple, hugging releases the bonding hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is proven to lower blood pressure, slow your heart rate, benefit our immune system and have an overall positive effect on mood.

Now imagine if you are wearing an Essential Oil perfume as well! You are absolute MAGIC!! You inspire deep breathes and deep connections with everyone around you!!
