Scratchy hair DIY spray

Decades ago one of my sisters got a “scratchy hair condition that rhymes with schmice” when we were kids. (I’m not allowed to use the actual word here... or in any comments as will have to delete any).
An unkind neighbor put a nasty note and article about that itchy condition in our mailbox. 😞
If you’ve experienced it, you know how time consuming the treatment is!! And store-bought solutions are pretty scary themselves... hmmm not sure it’s a great thing to rub those into the scalp).
✔️ Focus instead on preventive care with this wonderful DIY conditioning spray, that also detangles and helps with hair growth too! 🧜‍♀️
Shake, spray and go! Smell good, feel good and enjoy healthy, happy hair. ❤️
2 tbsp YL Lavender Mint conditioner 
8 oz warm water 
15 💧each Rosemary, Lavender, Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang and Tea Tree.
*glass bottle in photo is smaller, so the ratio would change based on what you are using.

La Croix - what does it all really mean?

If you  La Croix like me, check out this easy read & description from Dr Lindsey Elmore about the lawsuit.

Main thing to consider - do you care? 
"Given that the results are the same: you eventually get linalool and linalyl propionate, do you care if it comes from a plant fraction or from synthesized smaller molecules?
The fact of it is that plant chemicals, both from fractions and synthetics, are in hundreds if not thousands of foods, beverages, gums, soaps, personal care products, home care products, and yes, even cockroach killer."

Back to School with Young Living!

There are some crazy parts to this video from our back-to-school class... My hat... the occasional slight lisp? My references to lime and later on an awkward word combination ... Hmmmm... I'm not sure.


Here's what I do know. I  my oils and the way I feel when I use them. My YL oils help me, and my family, emotionally and physically. Young Living has no competitor. No one can replicate what we do and why we do it.
Diffusing is easy and it helps: 
- reduce bacteria and bad odors
- relax the mind and body
- improve concentration
- support digestive function and hormonal balance
- support emotions
- super-charge sleepy mornings
Essential oils work best when you use them!!! Use them consistently and keep it simple.
Other easy options:
- Smell right from the bottle
- Drip a few drops on your hand, rub the drops in a circle, then make a scent tent over your nose and breathe deep in and out a few times
- Place a few drops on a cotton ball or on diffuser jewelry and take with you during your day.
Happy Friday!

Smell is a Potent Wizard!



“Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.” —Helen Keller
Science shows our sense of smell can take us back in time, Marty McFly style, quicker than images can, no hoverboard or DeLoreans required.
What smells take you back in time in an instant?
These are some of mine: 
❄️ The smell of heavy winter air when it is going to snow reminds me of sledding, snowforts, blizzards and moonboots. 
☀️ The smell of a hot sidewalk when the first few drops of a sun shower or sprinkler touch down reminds me of barefoot summers. 
🌊 The smell of the ocean, makes me think of family vacations, saltwater and sand everywhere.
🌹 The smell of roses: My mom grew roses at our house in MN and I have a few here. My favorite is double delight. 
🍿 The smell of popcorn: My dad and I ❤️ the movies and popcorn of all kinds.
Young Living essential oils offer a plant-based way to contribute to overall physical and emotional wellness. One of the easiest ways to start that journey is by simply smelling.
Smell eo from the bottle (so easy!)
Smell a few drops of eo in your hand 
Wear a diffuser necklace or bracelet with a few drops of eo 
Diffuse in your car, office or bedroom
Whatever your method, Young Living essential oils transport your mind, body and emotions to a place of wellness.

Brighten your mood, or dig even deeper into special techniques, like the Aroma Freedom Technique, that “uses the power of scent to gently shift awareness away from negative thoughts, feelings and memories and to initiate a positive outlook and attitude.” https://aromafreedom.com/
I got to experience AFT first hand at last summer’s YL Yoga & Balance retreat! Dr. Perkus walked us through the process, which blew me away, and had me holding back tears. Certain smells carried me back to my childhood, running barefoot by the light of the moon feeling unstoppable.
If you are curious and looking for a brighter day or feeling or for something deeper, please give YL a chance. You won’t find similar results with other oils, they are NOT equal and can’t compare to our Seed to Seal process.
Today was YL Founder Gary Young’s birthday and now, to honor Gary and his groundbreaking work, July 11th is International Essential Oils Day!
Today 5% of all sales will go to the YL Academy that reaches hundreds of children in Ecuador and kick start a new University Sponsorship Program. Learn more at http://seedtoseal.com/en…
p.s. I took this photo on my flight home from this year’s YL Grand Convention in Salt Lake City. For me the convention and farm experience is like a little bit of heaven on earth and I’m thankful for Gary’s decades of hard work creating it for us, for everyone.

Fireworks + Axious Pets: Tips for the 4th!

Sparklers 💥 are my favorite firework🎇 Though as a kid I didn't realize how dangerous waving around a burning hot piece of metal can be.... I also like snaps, glo-worms and the big professional fireworks that are all sparkly!
Our dog 🐶 Daisy doesn't show a lot of anxiety during noisy holidays like the 4th or NYE, but many pets do and it can stressful and even dangerous for them (if they run away). 😢
One of the simplest and best ways to care for your nervous pet is by using Young Living essential oils. Introduce oils to your pet slowly.
1- Apply essential oils to your skin or clothing and let your pet check it out at his or her own pace.
2- Pet your dog with a few drops of essential oil on your hands.
3- Diffuse essential oils in an open space that your pet can enter or exit freely.
Suggestions for anxiety from the Essential Oils Animal Desk Reference:
- Apply Lavender, Cedarwood or Frankincense to the tips of ear, crown of skull, base of skull and along spine as needed.
- Apply 1-4 drops Stress AWay and Peace & Calming over the front paws twice daily or as needed.
- Pet your dog with a few drops of White Angelica in your hand.
Diffuse: Lavender + Cedarwood, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Valor, or Sacred Frankincense.
What is your favorite firework or way to celebrate?

Seed to Seal & Heaven on Earth!

Super excited to get hands-on experience once again while visiting the Young Living Lavender farm in Mona Utah!! I leave tomorrow for YL's Grand Covention and my trip to the farm is on Saturday.
The farm is surely a little piece of heaven. It was so fascinating and inspiring for me to take place in and learn more about Young Living's Seed to Seal Promise! At the farm I was able to plant, learn about the growth cycle, harvesting, preparing, distilling, bottling and more.
I know where my oils come from & what their entire life cycle looks like!
I know my essential oils are grown as a crop vs created in a lab...
I know and trust that my Lavender is ONLY Lavender.
Remember, even if you are "just diffusing" you are breathing essential oils into your body, bloodstream and cells.
If you are using essential oils for overall wellness, use the real deal. I would love to help you get started and to support you along the way.
