There are so many ways to use essential oils in our daily life! I love to make my own rooms sprays, rollers, pillow sprays, and perfumes. Click through to watch on Youtube for timestamps. Step by step room spray directions  Want your own Young Living Essential Oils?   

Friends, there is hardly ever a time not to diffuse!  Here are some good reasons to add diffusing to your nighttime routine. 1. The humidity will help your breathing, especially in the winter when the heater is running. Add one drop each of peppermint, lavender, and lemon, or try RC, Raven, or one of the eucalyptus oils to get the full benefit. 2.  Adding certain essentials oil will help you relax and sleep more soundly. Here are a few  suggestions: lavender, valerian, Stress Away, Peace and Calming 3.  Boost your immunity while you sleep. Thieves  is  my personal go-to for immunity support I sometimes add orange just because it smells great while still doing all good stuff.  Frankincense is a good on its own or with Thieves. 4.   Do you need any more reasons? Just kidding! DREAMS- really. Some essential oils may help you in this area are Dream Catcher and sandalwood. 5. Do-over. sometimes I need an emotional reset at the end...

I have hardly ever worn foundation as an adult. It didn't matter what I chose it sat on my skin looking like a mask or crept into every little line and wrinkle emphasizing what I wanted to downplay.  Dry skin didn't make the issue any better. Plus I have sensitive skin and most makeup would make my skin burn and rash.  I have been a lipstick and mascara girl forever out of necessity. I owned way more skin care products than makeup.   WELL! Then Savvy Minerals happened.  I had no bad reactions at all. Give me all the makeup! This was so exciting. I do still have dry skin however and powder makeup on dry skin needs lots of moisture. Here is my hack.

Young Living has a moisturizer or lotion for every occasion and skin type!  If you are like me I need lots of help in the winter months to combat the dry cold air's effect on my skin. Let's start at the top or face.   For those who need light coverage, or have oily skin the ART light moisturizer will fit the bill. It is a great one to put on before applying makeup too. This little serum can be applied directly to your face, or added to your favorite moisturizer. You will notice how soft your face feels it will not make you oily! just  balance out the dryness. The Wolfberry Eye cream is a small and mighty wonder! Apply to soothe the appearance of tired eyes and reduce the appearance of fine lines. For those of us with more mature skin, this is a must-have!    It contains frankincense and goes a long way. My first little pot of this lasted about 6 months and I used it on my neck too. ART ...
