Happy April,
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the air has that fresh scent of spring! What if you could bring that scent indoors to not only freshen your home but also improve your health at the same time?
I love diffusing scents like Lavender, Geranium, and Bergamot this time of year. Not only does it clean the air in my home after a long winter, but it also supports my mood and emotions, creating a positive, uplifting atmosphere!
Diffusing essential oils is a great way to bring the outdoors in and allows you to remove harmful candles and air fresheners from your home. Essential oils not only make your space smell amazing, but they have added health benefits as well!
When you diffuse or inhale essential oils, they go directly to the emotional center of your brain, making them perfect for shifting your mood. Use your oils to feel happy, calm, inspired, and refreshed and create an aroma to perfectly match the scent of the season!
Here are some recipes perfect for spring :
Fresh & Clean
4 drops Citrus Fresh
3 drops Lemon
Relax & Refreshed
4 drops Stress Away
2 drops Lemon
Breath of Fresh Air
4 drops Raven
2 drops Peppermint

Use This, Not That!
I want to focus on just how easy it can be to take those Small Steps that will equal BIG Changes!! It really can be as simple as Use This, Not That! The thing I gotta emphasize, is that you're not spending more money with Young Living. You're simply choosing a few products that you want to ditch in your home and replace with plant based, toxin free ones. Young Living does not equal more $. It equals small steps to a better lifestyle.
Have you ever heard of Bioaccumulation?? Here is a quick little science lesson, if you will. Bioaccumulation is “when a harmful substance gets absorbed by an organism (your body) at a higher rate than it can be excreted.” When we are constantly exposing our bodies to the harmful chemicals found in our everyday products, they are accumulating at a faster rate than our bodies can get rid of them. We can oftentimes be exposed to up to 300 different chemicals a day, and most of us don’t even realize it! How can your body thrive when it is exposed to so many toxins? #ITCAN'T
Consider making the switch! Start slow . . . identify those products you use most often and use the Young Living product instead that is infused with essential oils and is actually working with your body to support your overall health and wellness! Here are some switches you may want to make first:
- Household cleaners ~ Thieves Household Cleaner
- Toothpaste ~ Thieves Aromabright, Dentarome, or Dentarome Ultra
- Makeup ~ Savvy Minerals Makeup
- Shampoo/Conditioner ~ Lavender Mint or Copaiba Vanilla
- Candles~Diffusing Young Living Essential Oils
