Essential Oils

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...

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...

We are a homeschooling family and one of our favorite subjects is nature study. I’d been eyeing a local nature preserve for a while for its natural science museum, great trails and homeschool educational programs, but what finally pushed us to go was their Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. This is a series of 10 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar at you as you walk along the exhibition path. The children absolutely loved it. Once home, after our visit, the children found a documentary on dinosaurs and were especially interested in the baby dinosaurs hatching from eggs. I love to get the kids...

I've heard it said that when you don't like the smell of an essential oil, your body actually really needs it. In this case, I tend to believe it. When I was first introduced to Cedarwood Essential Oil, all I could smell was filthy, dirty socks. Definitively NOT my favorite oil! At the time, I was beat down, tired and worn out. I was working 12 hour night shifts and was homeschooling my children. I had long ago lost the ability to nimbly bounce between days and nights. This was playing havoc on my body and I literally felt like I was falling to...
