Essential oils with Jenn

Relaxing on the couch with diffuser going after our snow shoe adventure!! We were talking on the trail about past vacations and how we can’t wait to travel again.

I liked today’s blend so much that I made a new foaming hand soap with the same scent. Aromatic influences Balsam Fir creates a feeling of grounding, anchoring, and empowerment. It can stimulate the mind while allowing the body to relax... Tea tree promotes cleansing and purity Orange brings peach and happiness to mind and body as well as joy to the heart. Lemon promotes health, healing, physical energy, and purification

Today’s blend. This is why I chose it. Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind and body which provide emotional support. Grapefruit Is balancing and uplifting to the mind and may help relieve anxiety.... Juniper evokes feelings of health, love, and peace.

Why would someone whose kids are 14 and 12 order baby wipes??? Two reasons 1. They make fantastic non toxic eye make up remover wipes. I ripe one sheet in half and wipe off excess mascara. 2. They make amazing dryer sheets! I’ve tried wool dryer balls but I get annoyed with having to add a ton in the dryer to remove the static. I Love the simplicity of tossing in a sheet without adding the chemicals.

This ties into the post I did a couple days ago about greenwashing. Before Young Living I didn't realize the things I was buying were hurting my family. I thought things purchased at the store that said natural or green were safe right?!!! NOPE. Many had the dreaded fragrance listed which could be anywhere from 1-100 different chemicals. I know better now and when I can't choose young living (or actually run out of my cleaner) there are good options out there and here's ho...w you can make a better informed decision. Have you heard of THINK DIRTY? Think Dirty is an app you can use to scan products and see how they rate in terms of safety. My kids have even started looking things up!! Another great site to look a little deeper into certain products is The Environmental Working Group. If a particular ingredient is the LAST ingredient listed on the product label, I know there is only a small amount in the product. Then I make my own judgment call on whether I want to use the product or not. Products rated 1-2 are completely safe and are my top picks. If this feels like too much do your self a favour and ask me more Young Living's thieve household cleaner. One cleaner to replace everything under your sink that is as clean as it is effective. I'm happy to share a sample if you would like test it out first. You won't be disappointed.
