Why I Use Young Living Essential Oils

YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS

Wouldn’t you say that over the last few years, people are really trying to be more health conscious? Paying attention to their diet, using more natural alternatives, getting more exercise and so on. Essential oils have played a huge roll for many people, but how do you know which kind to use? Well, let me tell you a little bit about my story and why I use Young Living essential oils. 

It all started a little over 6 years ago… Becoming pregnant with my son really opened up my eyes, making me realize and pay more attention to what I was putting in and on my body. What products we use in our home. What we are breathing in every day.

“Why can’t I use this product or this ingredient while I’m pregnant… but it’s okay when I’m not?” Something just didn’t make sense to me. 

From there it was a snowball effect… How can we be more proactive and preventative in our overall wellness? How can we get ahead of our health rather than always chasing it with temporary solutions?

Now we can’t escape the world of pesticides, genetically modified foods, toxic chemicals  and processed food, right?! And let’s be real… maybe there are a few cosmetic or hair products we just can’t live without but they have some questionable ingredients. We’d have to live in a bubble to get rid of it all! 

So making changes to avoid toxins where we can was something I became very serious about.

Spring Diffuser Blends

Spring Diffuser Blends

Looking to bring a little sunshine inside? I’ve got 10 of my favorite Spring diffuser blends for you to try!

The days are getting longer, the grass and leaves are covered with morning dew, and the flowers are starting to bud. Spring is here!

Living in the South, Spring is one of my favorite seasons… but it only lasts for what seems like 2 weeks before the sun starts roasting us! I love the cool mornings, the smell of freshly cut grass and flowers blooming. I just want to bottle it up and make my house smell like spring … 

Oh wait… I can! With a diffuser and essential oils. 🤗

The Best Homemade Deodorant

best homemade deodorant

By now you may have heard about the dangers of conventional deodorants (parabens, aluminum, phthalates…) but have been afraid to try the all-natural route. Let me help ease you into the idea with, first, some information, and second, a super easy DIY recipe. 

You might ask, ” So what’s all the fuss about the deodorants I can buy at the grocery store?”

Well, the problem is that many reports claim the chemicals in deodorants, which are absorbed by the skin, cause estrogen-like hormonal effects. Aluminum compounds, found in conventional deodorants, have been linked to both Cancer and Alzheimers and they may contain other toxic chemicals  linked to infertility issues. 

Let me break it down for you. There are many ingredients commonly found in conventional deodorants that we should be questioning, for example:

  • Aluminum – Linked to Alzheimer’s disease and heavy metal toxicity
  • Parabens – Endocrine/hormone disruptors, found in 99% of breast cancer tissue sampled in this study
  • Phthalates – Endocrine disruptors linked to permanent birth defects
  • Propylene glycol – Classified as skin irritant by the EWG
  • Triclosan – Linked to liver toxicity and thyroid dysfunction
  • Formaldehyde contaminated synthetics – Carcinogenic
  • Fragrance – Cocktail of chemicals creating skin sensitivities and irritations
On top of that, there’s another big issue with conventional anti-perspirants and deodorants. They actually prevent our bodies from doing what their naturally supposed to do…. SWEAT!
