It never occurred to me that dryer sheets were toxic! They’re actually one of the worst household pollutants. 🚫 Over the past year, our family has made small changes that have made a HUGE impact! One is switching to reusable wool dryer balls! We add a few drops of essential oils directly to a ball and throw it in the dryer! Easy peazy AND I have the comfort of knowing my family isn’t inhaling funky air or wearing irritating clothes. WIN WIN!! My favorite oils to use on dryer balls: 🍋LEMONGRASS for my hospital scrubs 👶🏽GENTLE BABY on Gus’ laundry 💜LAVENDER on pajamas, towels and sheets 🌿PURIFICATION or CITRUS FRESH on the rest And guess what?! You’ll get dryer balls for FREE with a 250 PV order through the month of April🙌 photo @allysoncheney

One of the most common questions I get about essential oils is “Why does purity matter?” Did y’all know that the FDA doesn’t regulate essential oils?! Bananas right?! Since there aren’t any quality guidelines in place, companies can add fillers without including them in the list of ingredients “. So the label can say “100% Pure”, “therapeutic grade”, or “certified” and that’s referring to the essential oils NOT including the fillers. Many essential oils bought at the grocery store only have 10% essential oils and 90% fillers so you can see why they don’t work! I use Young Living because they have a “Seed to Seal “ standard that addresses 3 important factors regarding purity: 1. Sourcing- the origin of oils matter! Young Living only farms on land that hasn’t been tainted by pesticides! So their crops are beyond organic! 2. Science- While Young Living’s product quality starts in the fields, it’s proven in their labs. Not only that they work with more than a dozen of the world’s leading, independent, and accredited labs with highly skilled and trained scientists who specialize in advanced product testing. 3. Standards- inexpensive oils are often synthetic, adulterated, or unethically sourced, which is why they choose partners who produce pure essential oils and ingredients ethically and legally. This practice sets a top-tier standard for sustainability. Not only that, anyone can visit Young Living’s farms anytime!! I’m going to the lavender farm in Mona, Utah this June!!

So essential oils. In our family we’ve seen success using essential oils to support sleep, stress, healthy immune systems, booboos, hormones, seasonal stuffiness, weight management, household cleaning/cooking and a whole slew of other things! I love knowing that there is nothing more natural and that they don’t come with horrible side effects and long term dangers like all of the toxic options that are sold in stores. The best way to get started (how I got started) is to get the Premium Starter Kit with the 11 most popular oils and a diffuser (the “desert mist” diffuser is my favorite). We also buy all of our detergent, dish soaps, cleaning, shampoos, deodorants, shave creams, baby products and more through this amazing company. Many days, diffusing a little lavender before bed and applying peppermint to my upper back to help with tension are the only things I do for self care. Us mamas/friends/spouses/sisters need a bit of pampering! I want to treat you when you treat yourself so I’m offering $20 back this weekend only! DM me to get started!

TGIF! Who needs a bit of Motivation to carry them through this month?! This 👈 girl does!! —————————————— Say “BYE Felicia!” to fear and procrastination! 👋 YOU ARE MADE FOR MORE SISTA!! With the support of this oil blend, YOU will get.sh*t.done!! Single Oils in Motivation: •Roman Chamomile• was used by the ancient Romans traditionally to empower them to go into battle. Say whhhatt?! ⚔️ •Spruce• helps in grounding the body, creating the balance and opening necessary to receive and to give. 🤲 •Ylang Ylang• may help balance the male-female energies so one can move closer towards being in spiritual attunement and be able to focus their thoughts, filtering out the ever-present garbage. It supports feelings of self-love, confidence, joy, and peace.✌️ •Lavender• is an oil that has traditionally been known to balance the body and to work wherever there is a need. It may help promote consciousness, health, love, peace, and a general sense of well-being. 💜 ———————————————————————— Wear on the chest or on the nape of the neck. Place on solar plexus, sternum (key area), feet (especially the big toe), navel area, ears (on and behind), wrist, palms of hands, and under nose (sniff). Wear as perfume or cologne and PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL!! 🏎

I’ve been making small changes to get better sleep. Every night I add lavender to my diffuser and keep it running while I doze off. It helps to lower cortisol levels which is what we all need for good sleep! What are your nightly rituals? 🛏💜🌬😴 ————————————————————————photo @ariellevey
