It is September 22, which means, fall is officially here! What is one of the first things that comes to mind when you think about fall? I think of the leaves changing, cooler temperatures, and all the aromas that come along with the season. We switch out our home decor, we change up our wardrobe, AND we starting reaching for fall scented products to make our home feel warm and cozy. Well, I am here to tell you how to DIY a couple of those products that you long for in the fall using clean, toxin- free ingredients!
There are three things I see people reaching for in the store. They are candles and room sprays, hand soaps, and fall scented cleaners. I am right there with you. I want nothing more than to make my house smell warm and cozy all season long! My mind was blown when I realized that I could create these items, at home, affordably and simply. To top it off, I was able to keep everything nice and clean for the air in our home and the lungs of our family. These items also make GREAT gifts when looking to show some appreciation to the ones we love!

Enjoying your these simple recipes! Would love to here how you are enjoying them.
The season is slowly changing which can often time bring a tickle to the throat, a nagging cough, discomfort in the throat, and an unwanted scratchy feeling. Lucky for you, you have many options whether you like to DIY or BUY your Young Living items. Our family does them all!! Let's start with the DIY!
Honey Drops
This staple recipe can be turned into anything you would like! Seasonal Sniffle bombs ( Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, & Copaiba) , Immunity Drops, Tummy Tamer Drops ( Peppermint, Ginger, Lemon) . Today we are are using Thieves, Lemon, and Peppermint to make throat soother drops. You can find that DIY in my video here! you will need to adjust the drops for children and I know plenty of adults who increase the number of drops for themselves!
You can use a silicone mold to keep them in a nice shape!
Let's chat the BUY options!
Thieves Lozenges vs. Thieves Cough Drops
I am a BIG DIY gal and these drops are worth every stinkin' penny. The Thieves Lozenges are Thieves, Peppermint, and Lemon wrapped in one. They amaze me ( and my husband)! The difference between the lozenges and the Thieves Cough Drops is that there is additional menthol in the Thieves Cough Drops. The cough drops are FDA approved and labeled OTC. Since both contain the Thieves blend, you are also reaping the benefits of those immune support oils. You will NOT find artificial flavors, sugar, or dyes in these drops!
Both are wonderful for a cough, scratchy throat, and to open the airways. I love popping one before I put my mask on or even before a run. They are so refreshing and last forever compared to the drops I am used to from the store. We just stocked up for the season as these items tend to FLY off the come fall and winter.
So what do you think? Are you a buyer or diy-er this season?
