Giveaway #5: Coconut Lime Body Butter
From the looks of your responses in regards to your favorite summer smell, this item will be a big hit!
The Coconut Lime Body Butter is one of my favorite ways to spoil my skin. My heels and elbows can get quite dry and during the summer, all the time we spend in the sun can wreak havoc on my skin. There is no better way to help your skin recover than with the the Coconut Lime Body Butter. This formula gets its aroma for the coconut oil and Lime essential oil. It also contains Lemon Myrtle, Orange, Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Mandarin and Spearmint. While that seems like a lot, the aroma is very light. This is not your heavy fragranced B&B lotion friends.
The moisturizing components of this product are Mango Seed Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Cupuacu seed butter, Jojoba oil, Rosehip Fruit Oil, Coconut oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, and Rice Bran oil.
This body butter is light and tends to melt when you massage it into the skin. A small amount goes a long way. Preggo mamas, this would be awesome for that belly . Due to the amount of citrus oils, you may want to use this as an after-sun rub due to the photosensitive nature of the oils. This pairs well with a foot scrub! Exfoliate and then let your skin soak up all of the goodness from this body butter.

Giveaway #4: Thieves Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash aka The Dental Duo
We have been using Thieves dental products and the Kidscents toothpaste for at least 5 years now. After missing cleanings for two years, I still walked away with an amazing hygiene report. My hygienist wanted to know what I was using and then bought some for herself 
My last visit, she whispered in my ear, " All of the stuff that is put into toothpastes, is not meant for everyday use...it's not good for us everyday."
My last visit, she whispered in my ear, " All of the stuff that is put into toothpastes, is not meant for everyday use...it's not good for us everyday." For the longest time, I was brushing, flossing, and mouth washing like crazy to avoid the " Your gums are a little red and irritated... " statement. I didn't understand why my gums were receding when my oral care routine was on point. One day, I noticed some discoloration occuring along my gum line and between my teeth. After doing some digging, I realized my mouthwash was causing this!! Apparently, I wasn't the only one having this issue and the product was still on the market. This was before I was even investigating what I was in my products. It did get me thinking though....why all this irritation and discoloration when I am doing what I am supposed to be doing?
Years later, my interest was piqued when I saw Thieves toothpaste and Thieves Mouthwash. I actually tried the mouthwash first! Wow! It packed a punch and was not like the mouthwash you get at the store. Everything from the taste to the color is different. The tingling wasn't from alcohol burning my gums, it is alcohol-free. It was from the formula of Thieves! The second ingredient on the label is colloidal silver. That combined with the Thieves packs a punch when it comes to all the bacteria living in our mouths. Simply swish and spit ( do not ingest)! If you prefer a mintier mouthwash, add some peppermint! If you want to stretch your product, dilute with distilled water 1:1 and add peppermint. I like to add Frank to mine to support health gums.
At the convention in 2019, the Thieves Whitening toothpaste was released. A limit had to be placed on this one immediately! If you have had trouble with natural toothpastes in the past, this is the perfect one to try! I use a pea-sized amount on my toothbrush and my mouth is left feeling clean. Yes, this one also does give you that foaming feeling that we sometimes miss with a natural product. In the words of my husband, " This is their best toothpaste yet!" This family is sold on the switch! ( and yes, my teeth are nice and bright!)
Whew! I know that was a long read but these are truly, two of my favorite must-haves!!

Giveaway #3: White Angelica
White Angelica is one of the most pleasant smells my nose has ever had the chance of meeting. It has a soft, floral aroma that makes the perfect perfume all by itself. There is just enough floral with a lingering "tartness" ( is that a word?" to it. When I think of creating a summer scent, this oil pops right to top of my list! The blend is a combination of Sweet Almond oil, Bergamot, Myrrh, Geranium, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Coriander, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Melissa, Hyssop, and Rose. When used aromatically, White Angelica, promotes feelings of security and protection. It is one of those oils that helps to put your mind at ease when going into a stressful situation or when you find yourself in a tizzy. It is used to guard against negative energy when used aromatically or worn topically.
You can blend this with your citrus and warmer, woodsy aromas. I love it on diffuser jewelry! I diffuse it in the morning to get in a positive mindset and put myself at ease. It is one of the oils in Gary Young's "Great Day Protocol". White Angelica is a perfect addition to your hydrosol spray for an after-shower body mist. One of my favorite perfume combinations contains White Angelica, Northern LIghts Black Spruce, and Grapefruit. If you are someone looking for a floral aroma but Joy and Geranium tend to be too strong for you, the soft aroma of White Angelica may be right up your alley!
How many of you are saying, " Never heard of it!" ?

Giveaway #2: Lavaderm After-Sun Spray
You know those things that hand just have on hand "just because" you know you are going to need it? This is one of those items! We don't TRY to get a sunburn and we definitely don't sit around asking for bugs to bite us but, it happens!
Do you have a summer first-aid kit? The Lavaderm After-Sun Spray should be in there. In the past two months, we have already used it for two sunburns and some unwanted ant bites. It is pretty much your all-purpose, outdoor activity spray.
With ingredients like olive oil, glycerin, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and aloe vera leaf oil, skin is nourished and peeling from a burn is kept to a minimum (if at all). The menthol in this formula provides a cooling sensation that provides immediate relief to any discomfort and irritation the skin may be feeling. Elderberry, Lavender oil, Helichrysum oil, and Black Spruce oil all help with inflammation and soothe red/irritated skin.
Highlights for Lavaderm After-Sun Spray include:
- Temporarily relieves the pain and itching associated with minor burns, sunburn, minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations
- Dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic
- Soothes and cools skin
- Provides immediate relief
- Moisturizes to help prevent peeling
- Promotes healthy-looking skin
- Made with plant-based and naturally derived ingredients
- Formulated without alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic colorants

Favorite Things Week #1: Savvy Minerals Lengthening Mascara
Savvy Minerals is a product line we don't talk enough about! Yet, it is one of Young LIving's product lines that I use the most. Clean make-up! What does that mean?
The U.S. bans 11 potentially harmful chemicals from cosmetics. ( yup, that is not a typo)
The European Union bans 1,328 potentially harmful chemicals from cosmetics.
Savvy Minerals has banned 2,500 potentially harmful ingredients! Including some "natural" ingredients other companies use.
If you all haven't watched the documentary "Toxic Beauty", it is a must watch for all. We are responsible for what we put on our bodies, and a simple, healthy switch, is with your cosmetics! Unfortunately, lots of label reading and research is involved when attempting to purchase a clean product. The beauty of shopping with Young Living, is their transparency. Their standards are high and the Young Living consumer knows, they can trust the ingredients in their products.
I have been a Savvy Minerals user for almost three years now! I was satisfied with everything but the mascara. That was a flop! However, Young Living listened to their consumers and with the recent Spring Launch, Young Living released two NEW mascaras. They now have a Lengthening and Volumizing mascara! It was a hesitant purchase but the two years of reformulating was worth it! They have hit the mark with these two new additions!
For everyday wear, I LOVE the lengthening formula! Savvy Minerals Lengthening Mascara is made with lash-loving ingredients, including Lavender essential oil, arginine, buildable natural plant fibers, and carnauba wax to take your lashes to new heights. Our clean, richly pigmented formula glides on without unwanted clumps or flakes to lengthen and define lashes. The brush is small with defined bristles to create a light look but adds length for just enough pop!
If you are looking for a more dramatic look, use the Volumizing mascara first ( fuller lash look), and layer it with the Lengthening mascara . We want to share this favorite new item with you!!
