How to Order Oils

Ready to get your hands on some quality Essential Oils?
Here's the step by step of how to order:
So, you can if you want by choosing the "retail customer" box, but...... friends don't let friends pay retail. A wholesale membership will save you 24% off everything for LIFE - I mean, hello! Who doesn't love a discount, right?! <3
Here's how it works: Follow this link
A new window will open (The wholesale box will be checked, and our member number will be filled in), click "continue."
When it tells you who will be your enroller you click "continue" again because heck yeah you want to be on our team! <3
Now you get to choose your starter kit.

Step 1:

If you just want a wholesale membership, click the tab for basic kits on your browser (it's a drop down menu on mobile), and choose "Basic Kit."
Or you can be like me and start with one of the Premium Kits (these are by far the best deal - like $400+ worth of products for just $165). There are also kits for Cleaning Products or Makeup, so just choose the option that best suits you.

Step 2:

This box is asking if you would like to join essential rewards, Young Living's monthly auto-ship program where you have home/body/wellness/essential oil products delivered to your door. This program comes with loads of freebies, but there is a $50 minimum monthly order requirement to participate. It's super easy to cancel, but if you're not into this sort of thing right now, just ignore it and click "next" at the bottom of the page.

Anddddd that's basically it for things that may not be self-explanatory. The rest is just filling out your
payment and shipping info.

Pretty easy for something that will change your life!!!

Once you've joined with either a membership or a starter kit, you will receive a welcome email from us. Be sure to check your inbox for the next couple of weeks because we'll be sending you some helpful information about how to use your products.

DIY Natural Tooth Powder

We use Young Living’s aromabrite toothpase (definitely not the dentarome lol), and love it, but we ran out with a week to go until our monthly wellness box delivery. After few days of water brushing and mouthwash, we were all starting to really miss our minty mouths (ok, the kids couldn’t have cared less, but Jon and I were missing it), so I made a little jar of toothpowder to tide us over.

Here’s what I used:

2 tbsps Baking Soda - for cleaning
1 tbsp Bentonite Clay - helps remove toxins
6 drops Peppermint Essential Oil - for fresh breath
3 drops Citrus Fresh (or orange) Essential Oil - for whitening
3 drops Clove Essential Oil - high antibacterial properties

Just combine the powders in a small glass jar, drop in the oils, pop the lid on and shake to mix the ingredients.

Voila!  Easy, affordable, natural way to keep your teeth clean!!
 Just wet your toothbrush, gently dip it in the powder and then brush away for pearly whites!

DIY Natural Garden Pest Spray

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” ~ Margaret Atwood
For many of us, Spring means gardening. Spending our days in the warmth of the sun, tilling our soil and nurturing our plant babies.

Unfortunately, it can also mean pests. There’s nothing worse than spending weeks (or months) of effort caring for our plants, only to have them ravaged by bugs.
Fortunately, there are ways to deter pests and protect your beloved plants - without using dangerous chemicals.

There are some budget friendly essential oils that are very effective at repelling bugs, slugs, and snails without being harmful to you or your plants.

Here are a few:

Peppermint: a natural insecticide, this oil will work on ants, beetles, flies, fleas, aphids, and squash bugs, as well as repel spiders.

Cedarwood: this oil is great for keeping slugs and snails away.

Orange: because of it’s high limonene content this oil is lethal to flies, fleas, and fire ants. It also repels silverfish, roaches, and mosquitos!
Simply add 5 drops of each oil into a 4 oz spray bottle, and fill with water. Spritz on plants as needed (shaking before each application).
No scary chemicals, just natural protection.

DIY Naturally Scented Bodywash

One of the items in the hub’s Essentail Rewards order this month was Young Living’s unscented Bath Gel. It is SO hard to find unscented, green (as opposed to green washed) products at the store, so we were pretty stoked Young Living offered this.
We’re also stoked that just about everything YL sells is concentrated, so we knew we would get 3 bottles of body wash out of this one bottle, so we decided to make a his and hers, and then still have one bottle left over for whoever runs out first.

Here’s how we did it:
Divide the unscented bath and shower gel into thirds (we used foaming pump bottles, because natural soaps don’t have the chemical in them that gives them all the lather of standard soaps)
Then we chose our scents. I chose Peace and Calming, Patchouli, and Orange. Patchouli and Orange are already in  the Peace and Calming blend, but I just wanted to enhance those notes.
Jon chose Cypress, Cedarwood, and Northern Lights Black Spruce. Woodsy and manly, without smelling too much like a forest.

I used 2 drops of Peace and Calming, 1 drop Patchouli, and 1 drop Orange in mine.
Jon used 2 drops Cypress, 2 drops Cedarwood, and 1 drop Northern Lights Black Spruce in his.
Then we just filled the rest of the bottle up with water, shook it around to mix, and voila!!  Naturally scented, toxin free bodywash - at 3 for 1 pricing!!

Have you made your own naturally scented bodywash? What oils did you use?
