From the moment you opened your Young Living Premium Starter Kit, with it's set of beautiful little bottles, you will have noticed that half of them are labeled in white. The white labels indicate that the oil is part of Young Living's Vitality line, which is labeled for internal use. But are essential oils safe to ingest? This is a controversial subject in the aromatherapy world. If you dare to do an online search, you'll encounter some pretty passionate arguments warning of the dangers of ingestion. In general, the American aromatherapy industry preaches that it is unsafe to ingest any essential...

Over the past several years, science has come to realize that the bacteria found in our gut has an enormous influence over our genetic expression and our immune system. Meanwhile, we've been so busy buying antibacterial everything, trying to get rid of all bacteria, that we've failed to recognize why we all need probiotics in our lives! Throughout history, we've gotten the probiotics needed from the foods we ate. Foods were not GMO, the soil was better, and fermentation was used to keep food from going bad. When refrigeration was invented, along with agricultural and sanitation practices, many foods became essentially...

June 2015, is big deal to me. It's the month I quit Diet Coke after a 20 year addiction to it. For 20 straight years, Diet Coke was all that I drank. I didn't drink water, or juice, or coffee, or tea, or even Starbucks. I didn't drink wine, beer, or any other alcoholic beverages. I drank Diet Coke. Two to three liters a day. All day. Every day. It was an addiction. A bad one. I'd heard all of the lectures. I'd been scolded outright. I'd been discretely sent anti-aspartame articles by email for years by well-meaning friends...

It's summer vacation time. School's out and families are heading out to the beach for fun and relaxation. Have you ever stopped to wonder why the beach is such a popular destination? It's a great way to escape the heat. It's definitively a joy to watch your children play in the water while you dig your toes in the sand. But for me, it's more than that. The beach is the place where I can truly relax - where the mind and body are so completely at rest that not even a single thought can interrupt the peace of the...

A diffuser is the best replacement for candles that you will ever find. I have been obsessed with candles my entire life. So much so, that when I was a child I invented a family Christmas tradition we called "Candlefest." On Christmas Eve I would light every single candle I owned. I would place them all around my bedroom in a twinkling display. I would then invite all of my siblings to my room. We would hang out, laugh and talk late into the night. We did this every year. Diffusers didn't even exist back then. My love for candles continued into my adult...

In the summer of 2016, our family took a road trip to Utah to attend Young Living's International Grand Convention. We love road trips, but this one was extra-special as we were planning a stop at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah. As a family, we had been using Young Living essential oils for a couple of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we had fallen in love with them. So, our visit to the Young Living Lavender Farm was an experience that I'd been really looking forward to with an enormous amount of...
