There are so many reports on the dangers of toxic cleaners. Have you read this one? IMPACT OF CLEANING PRODUCTS ON WOMEN'S LUNGS AS DAMAGING AS 20-A-DAY CIGARETTE HABIT: STUDY The point of cleaning is to make our environment healthy and safe. If it is making your environment toxic and hurting your health it is time to change.  Did you know that I save around $15 a month by using Thieves cleaner instead of the stuff I used to buy at the store? It has replaced my toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, and shower scrub. I can use it on my granite countertops, wood floors, baseboards, and dust my furniture with it. I have put it in my dishwasher with vinegar in place of the rinse aid.  Here is a recipe for making foaming cleaning bombs . They can be used in the toilet or the dishwasher! If you just keep the mix in a jar instead of pressing into molds it is a good scrub for tubs, grout etc. Cost breakdown: (on the Young Living products the price is wholesale ...

Our church does a silent auction in the spring and I love that I can donate to a good cause and share about my oily business. I have also donated items to teacher appreciation events.  Here is the adorable metal basket I found at Hobby Lobby ON SALE!! I went in planning on using my 40% coupon on a basket but half off is even better, and I used my coupon on something else!  This basket is shallow with two birds perched in one corner. I love it and want to go back and get myself one.  I bought an inexpensive but large capacity diffuser from Amazon. I have the box with the cord and directions that I will send home with the winning bidder. The basket looks much nicer without it though.  Next, I added a hand crocheted cotton cloth. I make these all the time because  I can't sit still. I have to always be doing something. Which means I have a few hanging around the house. It looks special with the ribbon band around it.  I recycled a T...

I so LOVE the spring! We plan our garden, throw out lots of clutter, tighten up our budget, and open the windows. I also can see the end of the school year in sight. It is so wonderful!   I know you are already cleaning with Thieves Cleaner. It is the best. No contest. I use it for all glass, mirrors, countertops, toilets. I dust with it. I spray my floors with it and use my steam mop.   This month Thieves Cleaner in on our promotion at the 250 PV level! PLUS, we get the great glass bottle. So no excuses, start using it. It lasts a long time even when you use it on everything. We also get the Thieves dish soap this month at the 190 PV level. The best way to use this (in my opinion) is in a foaming liquid soap dispenser. The usual ratio is 5 parts water to 1 part liquid soap. It is so concentrated! You may even want to do a bit less soap.  Click here to learn how to  Make your own foaming cleaning pods!  This recipe ...

Did you just get your Premium Starter Kit from Young Living? Are you sniffing all your bottles and wondering what to try in your diffuser?  It is a big decision. We don't want to waste our lovely oils and what if we get a weird combo and pump it out into the room?  Here is a little information to help you get started.  Use good water in your diffuser. If you live in an area with hard water, use filtered or distilled.  Remember to clean your diffuser often. Wipe it out (gently) between uses, and clean with alcohol every 4-5 uses. Watch that you don't get any liquid down inside the vent hole!  Start slow and light. Diffuse for 30 minutes and see how your system reacts. Oils are potent and some can cause our bodies to want to slough off all the toxins inside. That is good but doing it quickly can feel bad. 😳 So what to diffuse and why? Many of the oils are great on their own.  Purification: light, clean, fresh, and cit...
