Did you know that Thieves Mouthwash contains colloidal silver. With the combination of colloidal silver and essential oils, you are guaranteed an AMAZING funk fighting combination without the use of harsh ingredients that tend to leave your mouth stinging or burning. That is another reason why, you have an effective throat spray and fresh breath spray. The ingredients are actually serving a purpose. There is more than just fresh, bright, flavors going on here :)
These are some awesome recipes to make with just one bottle!

Fall is almost here and our diffusers are about be worked overtime! Lucky for you, all those favorite fall oils, are amazing for immune support and keeping the air in your home fresh! That isn't something you can say for the fall candles that people gravitate to.
Why diffusing is better than candles:
- Variety! I love being able to change the aroma going through our home. When I used to purchase candles, I was stuck with the same fragrance day after day.
- A clean, toxin-free aroma for the home. The mist benefits your family! Fragrance from candles, negatively impacts your immune system.
- Control! You can decide how strong or how mild you want to aroma going through your home.
- Customize! You can still have a fall aroma but oils allow you to create aromas that uplift, assist in relaxation, or simply help with fresh air throughout your house.
How to create some amazing blends:
- Consider what kind of aromas you prefer in the fall. We are not all pumpkin spice lovers ( I can hear some of you gasping right now :) )
- Pick 1-2 blends to keep in rotation. You will also want 3-4 singles to pair with your blends.
- Keep in mind the reasons you typically diffuse. Do you need calm oils? uplifting? focus?
- Start with 2-3 drops of your blend and layer with your singles. Start with a total of 8-10 drops. If you are sensitive to smells, start lower. Fall blends can be quite strong. Start on the lower end of drops and you can always add more.
If you like woodsy and herbal:
- Blends to look at: Sacred Mountain, Thieves, Abundance, Believe, Gratitude, Magnify Your Purpose, GeneYus
- Singles to look at: Lavender, Peppermint , Rosemary, Thyme, Eucalyptus, Pine, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Black Pepper, Orange, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Cardamom, Frankincense, Clove, Idaho Blue Spruce, Juniper, Cypress, Idaho Grand Fir, Vetiver, Copaiba
If you like sugar and spice:
- Blends to look at: Stress Away, Abundance, Citrus Fresh, Thieves, Exodus II, Transformation
- Singles to look at: Orange, Lemon, Nutmeg, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Cardamom, Bergamot, Cedarwood, Copaiba
What do you all have your eye on? I am partial to woodsy and herbal BUT I do like some sugar and spice on a Sunday morning! Happy diffusing!
Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that we wash our hands to support a healthy immune system, but the majority of the hand soaps on the store shelves are riddled with toxins and unwanted chemicals?
If you think your soap is " clean" check for that "Fragrance" label. That is the term companies are able to hide the nasty ingredients under (whether it has to do with the smell or not!). They do not have to disclose that information either....it is proprietary!
Well, here is an INEXPENSIVE and TOXIN-FREE recipe to keep those hands clean and moisturized. All you need is three ingredients and your distilled water! The ability to create your own signature soap scent, is endless!
Here is the recipe:
1/3 cup Castile Soap or YL Bath & Shower Gel base
1 tsp. Carrier oil
20-25 drops EOs
8-12 ounces water
Mix in foaming soap dispenser! Great gift idea too!

Immune support!
I don't think I have ever said those two words more, than I have in the year 2020. The word that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks Young Living and immune support is Thieves. Boy, do I LOVE me some Thieves! However, Thieves and it's product line, are tools to support your immune system and a toxin-free lifestyle. There is an even bigger piece of the puzzle when it comes to supporting your immune system and it starts on the inside!
I want to keep things simple because a lot of people will run and hide when I mention the word "supplement". With all of the processing, all of the additives, all of the pesticides, and all of the additional sugars that end up in our food these days, our bodies are not getting the nutrients they need from the food we are eating. It is so important to incorporate whole-food based or plant based supplements into our health and wellness routines. Why? Our bodies simply absorb it better. Our bodies are meant to absorb nutrients from a whole food source rather than a high dose of isolated vitamins or minerals. For instance, we eat carrots that are high in beta carotene. This is an antioxidant that our bodies converts into vitamin A. This is completely different that isolating a synthetic form vitamin A and taking it in high doses. This can result in decreased absorption and varying reactions to the supplement.
Going into the fall and winter months, I wanted to share one of my favorite multi-vitamin/mineral powerhouse supplements, called Master Formula. This supplement, allows you to forfeit the row of a piecemeal supplement bottles sitting on your counter top, for one pouch of all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and vegetable complexes you need in a multi-vitamin.
If you have been watching the news lately, you may have heard a few vitamins and minerals emphasized. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc. Master Formula contains all three of those with 100% of the recommended daily value! It has Micronized Nutrient Capsule that contains Vitamin A, eight B vitamins, Magnesium, Iron, Selenium, Copper Maganese, Chromium, Molybdenum. Master Formula contains a Phyto Caplet that contains Vitamin C and a Spectra Fruit,Vegetable, and Herb blend that contains nutrients such as Vitamin C, prebiotics, and Potassium.It also contains a Liquid Vitamin Capsule that contains Vitamin K2, Vitamin E, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin A along with an essential oil blend that contains Turmeric.
I can absolutely, 100%, tell a difference in the way I feel when I take this supplement pouch. A simple yet powerful routine would be Master Formula paired with LIfe 9 Probiotics! Talk about an Immune Support powerhouse!!! With Young Living's Free Shipping option at 100 PV coming in September, this is the perfect time to set this supplement routine to be shipped to your door, for free, every month!
One of my favorite resources, Dr. Lindsey Elmore, had this to say about Master Formula:
1. Broad spectrum vitamins and minerals, all extracted from food. Plant based nutriment (not a typo, look it up), at its best.
.
2. Vegan vitamin D3. Almost impossible to find D3 (which you neeeeeeeed, NOT D2) in a vegan form.
.
3. Organic FOLATE (NOT Folic acid) extracted from the peels of lemon skins using nothing more than water.
.
4. Prebiotics (rare in a multivitamin) feed your healthy gut bacteria, supporting your immune system.
.
5. Unique SSI technology combines similarly beneficial ingredients, and separates ingredients that may break down over time.
.
6. Unique essential oil blend (never seen this over the counter), including turmeric essential oil.
.
7. Vitamin K2 is more bioavailable than K3 and supports bone health.
.
8. Convenient sachets make travel a breeze. No isn’t bottles needed.
9. Chelated Minerals provide building blocks for tons of critical chemical reactions. If you just don’t feel good and don’t know why, add minerals to your routine.
.
10. The B12 is methylcobalamin, not cyanocobalamin. Because no one wants a dose of cyanide in their vitamin.
Forget the endless amounts of individual supplement bottles! Give Master Formula a try!
Masks have become a part of our daily routine. Some of us are wearing them for short trips to the grocery store and others wear them for a prolonged period of time, day in and day out. After wearing a mask for over 8 hours while flying last month, I found myself reaching for my Peppermint and Thieves Spray time and time again. The peppermint helped with a heavy ache that I would get in my head mid-day as well as some wooziness during some rough air. I clearly wasn't able to hand wash my mask, so I found myself giving it a good spritz with Thieves Spray from time to time. There is no other disinfectant I would use for this. Why? Because I am putting it back on my face and want to make sure I am inhaling a clean, non-toxic aroma. Since this trip, I have come across several helpful recipes in various oily groups! I wanted to share them with you as I have found them effective yet safe when it comes to staying away from toxins. Staying away from harsh chemicals and toxins is part of maintaining a healthy immune system.
Mask Spray:
Witch Hazel
Essential Oils ( this is your choice!)
I selected Peppermint and Raven for respiratory support and an uplifting aroma. You could also do Thieves, RC, Lavender, Spearmint...think of what you are wanting to address!
Add 7-10 drops of desired oils into spritzer. Top with witch hazel, add top, and shake. Spritz the inside of your mask before wearing.
Thieves Spray:
You can purchase this already made ( That is what I would do :) ) OR you can DIY this!
15 drops of Thieves oil
1 teaspoon witch hazel
A little under 2 ounces of distilled water.
Spritz your mask front and back with Thieves Spray in between wears.
Mask Soak:
16 ounces warm water
1 teaspoon Thieves Laundry Soap
1 teaspoon Thieves Household Cleaner
3-5 drops Lemon Oil
Mix all ingredients in bowl of water. Add masks to the bowl and gently work the solution through the masks. Soak for 5-10 minutes. Rinse clean under warm water. Hang to air dry.
I hope you find these recipes helpful as we adapt to a new routine.
